Jon Jagger

It's finally happening! By the power of Doghouse Systems & Make-A-Wish Massachusetts/Rhode Island the GG Pod X Core crossover is real! See y'all tonight!

Live CORE was so rad this year. Glad we were able to pull that all together.

Happening today, 1pm MT, at frogpants.tv

Perfect vacation, happy to be home, but already miss the fun.

As promised, a 55 minute free preview of Jon's commentary run through RE9 is UP! The rest will soon be up on the Substack and Patreon for subscribers. youtu.be/Q5csoDrScpI

On TGI this week, @jonjagger.bsky.social from @coreshow.bsky.social returns to the show to discuss Resident Evil Requiem. We keep plot points contained to what’s presented in the marketing, and with multiple playthroughs complete we’ve got plenty to chat about! gamersinnpodcast.com/episode/tgi-...

IT'S TIME! That's right, tickets and group rates area UP for Nerdtacular 2026! ALL the details are at frogpants.com/nerdtacular. Come one come all! Can't wait to see you all.

Ya know, I think this Vince Gilligan fellow might just make a name for himself.

As a general rule I think everyone is welcome to their own opinions and ranking lists should always be unserious fun. Then I saw a list of “Best Joker Performances” that put Mark Hamill at #3 and I’ve now spent 10 minutes and this message complaining out loud to basically no one about it.

Day 4 of my wife being out of town: - Kid is sick w/ pink eye - I’m now also sick w/ pink eye - Still fighting a virus I was told to “ride out” - Now having trouble w/ my ears too In summary I can’t see, hear, speak, smell, or breathe well, but at least everyone’s alive.

Part II of my time in Silent Hill f in supercut form! youtu.be/uIsDvFNN_KM

While watching Wall-e I learned that my son pronounces “cockroach” as “crotch” and that’s just really funny to me.

I am shocked at how good Dexter Resurrection is. I hated the first series finale,thought New Blood was fine, skipped Original Sin (I've fixed this oversight), but to be watching what I worried was a cash grab feel like Trinity era Dexter is amazing!

We have three possible destinations, but where to next is the question?

I hope @scottjohnson.zip has saved Tsushima, because we are going to try and finish this thing! Beating Final Fantasy X??? Live - twitch.tv/craftlessrogue

It's finished... no more blitzball!

CORE pushed a day. ISP being weird for me and Beau has lost all power. 🙂 We will be back tomorrow, 1pm MT like normal, just Friday. Sorry for the late notice!

Fighting THAT boss until I win in Final Fantasy X - "I won't lose to someone that can't even put on clothes!" twitch.tv/craftlessrogue

Back at it and climbing that Final Fantasy X mountain! twitch.tv/craftlessrogue

The "Jon opens Magic Cards" Trilogy reaches its conclusion! We started knowing nothing, but I've learned! Now the student has become the... well like still a D+ student, but I know something this time. Just come watch! twitch.tv/craftlessrogue

Somehow I am opening more Final Fantasy Magic the Gathering cards on stream. Will I learn anything this time? Probably not, but you can find out here: twitch.tv/craftlessrogue

"Well sure, he streamed yesterday, but when will he do it again?" Today, right now. twitch.tv/craftlessrogue

The aftermath…

Is it possible I’m actually streaming in the year 2025? Yes. Twitch.tv/craftlessrogue

“Take kid to urgent care turns into 12 hour trip & hospital visit” parenting achievement unlocked. *Everything is fine, going to be a very expensive virus, but not any of the scary bad things.

This week on The Gamers’ Inn, @jonjagger.bsky.social from @coreshow.bsky.social joins me to discuss Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Keeping things light on spoilers, we chat about the impactful prologue and the mechanics that ramp up difficulty through Act I. gamersinnpodcast.com/episode/tgi-...

I can feel balance returning to the Force.

Nothing makes me feel worse the day after I’ve had it than Popcorn. Which obviously tells you I’m not a big alcohol drinker, but the popcorn hangover is real!

If I had to answer for my actions in a dream last night: Is it true you released Pennywise the clown during a school function? Yes. And when you got sick of him him what did you say to make him leave you alone? I said, “why don’t you go chew on some arms or something.”

I have a lot of mixed feelings on Netflix overall, but one thing they do absolutely right, is allow me to use Shockwave as my account avatar. Get on it almost everyone else!

For a company that kinda does one thing, FedEx is supremely shitty at it.

Seeing the new Spider-Man movie be titled “Brand New Day” gives me the exact same feeling I get when my toddler picks up something made of glass.

I'm sorry to my wife, because at some point tomorrow she's going to ask me, "How was the wrestling show you watched," and be subjected to a maddeningly long and detailed response about things she cares very little for and with a fervor she wishes I showed for just about anything else.

I spend an absurd amount of time picking something to watch in bed for a person that consistently falls asleep instantly and misses 99% of whatever I pick.

Me: Hey buddy, can I ask you a favor? Son: What? Me: Can I have a big hug? Son: Of course! (gives super big hug) Son: Dad, can I ask you a favor? Me: Of course. Son: Can you put the dishes away?

The pattern continues... Me: Alright, time to get my shit together and get some stuff done. Life: We'll just see about that! (rolls up sleeves)

The other Civs were picking on me. #CivVII

I hope in 15 years everyone is having very normal conversations about a gigantic purple man named ‘Galactus’ in the same way we now have normal conversations about an above average sized purple man named ‘Thanos’.

@joceplays.bsky.social if you haven’t play ‘Return of the Obra Dinn’ you should! It’s more like Roottrees than Lorelei, but it is maybe my favorite narrative puzzle game ever.

We look ahead to the big games of February like Civilization VII, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Avowed, Monster Hunter Wilds, and more! FEEDS, EPISODE and SITE: frogpants.com/core VIDEO: youtube.com/scottjohnson

Mark this day, for it is the day I invented the Royal Grilled Cheese Sandwich. No, I did not look it up to see if this was already a thing. Like a true explorer I’m simply taking credit for it.

Fan Fact: A clump of gummy bears all stuck together is called an "orgy"

My Current Favorite Toddler-isms: “Bumble Gun” = Bubble Gum “Jolly Pigs” = Peppa Pig “Lunch House” = a restaurant

Listen and hear one man ask the eternal question, "Am I the problem?"

When the cereal bag starts to fall out of the box as you pour it.

My son named his two firetrucks "Fireese" and "Bob MacanCheese".
