The Second Day of Ramen-mas
Friday night was ramen and retro gaming night, as you might be able to tell from the place setting and the SNES controllers.

Ordinary Retro Gamer: Tom and Jerry, Timon and Pumbaa, Toy Story, and Rambo III

Ordinary Retro Gamer
I don’t exactly know what got me watching JonTron, but I can’t stop watching him now. I love his off the wall review style, and his attention to detail. He has a joke or observation for almost every element of the game under review. His reviews of terrible retro games have really gotten me thinking…
