Mr. Allen's Blog

Howdy, apologies for no posts since Friday. I've been dealing with a nasty round of flu that caught me over the weekend. Runny nose, terrible cough, feeling sluggish, the usual. But I'm a little better today and should be a-okay by the end of the week. Enjoy your Tuesday and take care.

I had hoped to continue adding more episodes of House of Sounds  to the shop on Ko-fi but this is what I'm seeing when I visit the site even after checking again after "a few minutes". What's up with that? Will try again tomorrow. Episodes 1 to 10 are there though so if the site gets back up and running at some point today, you can check them out  Ko-fi.com/mrtkallen7

Welcome to Gaming History (Extended Mix) ! This is a video series that serves as an "extended" version of #MonarchyGamingHistory , a regular segment on the Tuesday (tech news) edition of the Morning Monarchy radio show (hosted by James E. Pilato of Media Monarchy ).  **Update: Monday 13 July 2026** Initially I had planned for this series to be a one-episode-per-week series, following after that Tuesday's #MonarchyGamingHistory segment. I realise now that two episodes per week is the sweet spot, which would allow for episodes that can cover "honourable mentions" or subjects which I don't think would make it on the segment, as well as events which I've missed and would like to shine a spotlight on. These can be featured on episodes released either on Mondays or Tuesdays (latest) while the episodes released later in the week feature what I would've prepared for the segment. If you like this content and the other work that I do (Pokémon ROM hack walkthr...

Welcome to Bonus Stage! This is where you'll find the links to as well as show notes for the ROM hacks, other games and audiobooks featured in each episode during the month. If you have any comments, feedback, recommendations or suggestions for future episodes please leave all that in the comments section for this post and not the comments sections of the other platforms where the episodes will be posted, because it would really suck if you left your stuff there and  *Poof*  that platform is either gone, turned to crap or my account there is deleted haha (I'm trying not to jinx THIS site 😅). I hope you enjoy this series, thanks for watching and listening. If you want to support me for the content (Pokémon   ROM hack walkthroughs, DJ sets, manga/comic audio series, etc) you can do so from here  https://mrtkallen.blogspot.com/2023/09/support.html Weekend Bonus Stage archive:  https://archive.org/details/weekend-bonus-stage Previous posts: Weekend Bonus Stage (Mar...
