DTM House Show – What A Horrible Night To Have Belmont’s Curse (October 3rd, 2026)

If you want the broken ass live stream with live chat retained, click here.

Hello, this is not THAT video. It is a stream of the Belmont’s Curse demo that is available for play via Steam. Except not really because the stream was borked with issues. I do have an unbroken version that I’ll upload when I can and hopefully, that will not cause any issues beyond… well… eh.

The stream will be unlisted so that folks can watch the unabated edition instead once it’s up. I’ll keep a link for those who want it, though.

 

Review #1376 – Ghost Hunter (Atari 8-Bit)

Spooky season begins with Pac-Man At Home.

“But we already have Pac-Man at home.”

Shut up.

Also… yes, it’s another one of these accursed AI thumbnails that Youtube’s Inspiration tab provided before its retirement. But I whitened the fellow’s hair and added in a screenshot as well as the usual material. Last time we’ll use one of those. Next time, we steal images off Google Search as per usual.

YouTube’s AI Thing Couldn’t Construct Picard Facepalms

Normally, this post would be your State Of The Blog for the month, which denotes the video schedule and such things. That schedule is not ready, but I can tell you that tomorrow will feature another video review thing and Saturday will not only feature the occasionally updated DTM Mailbag, but also the Video Of Bad News (a.k.a. DTM Rambles #35). And hopefully, with that albatross off my back, we can resume more fun stuff that will be revealed on Sunday.

In the meantime, however, I asked Youtube’s Studio AI thing to construct me thumbnails based on the infamous PICARD FACEPALM meme and the bloody thing… couldn’t be bothered. Not enough RAM for the process, I guess. However, they did provide concepts of how each thumbnail could be made if I wanted to make them myself, which is… yes, of course. I’ll make these myself. Why not?

Anyway, AI is a touchy thing and I’m leery about it, especially with all the rogue news that have been broken… but for stupid shit like this to laugh at… eh, whatever. Anyway, read what the AI thing has to say about its inability to recreate an image that has existed for generations. Maybe they’re saving that for The Next Generation of AI-image creation or something… eh.

What does it matter? We’re dead in a few years anyway, so…

Review #1375 – Marvel Cosmic Invasion (PC)

From PC Game Pass comes another beat-em-up brawler inspired by the 90s. Because it saves me a few bucks from having to play a game that I’m probably going to abandon not long after this video is done… which I probably will. Sometimes, being able to “rent” games online is a better deal than outright “buying” games… especially if you’re going to make no pretense about ownership or whatever the case may be.

I might keep the Game Pass thing for another month or so before abandoning it, see what else I could mine for video fodder next year… but I think we’ll be heading back to older stock for the remainder of the year… with maybe one or two exceptions.

TNA Bound For Glory 2017

In 2017, TNA was acquired by Anthem Sports and one of the things they did was ditch the TNA name in favor of IMPACT Wrestling, which would be the company name until 2023 when the decision was made to revert back to the TNA name. Despite this change, some people continued to call the company by its older, more recognizable name. As much as I tried to call it IMPACT, TNA popped in and out it went. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, I will continue to refer to the company as TNA for the rest of these musings.

And then there was Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling endeavor… which may or may not still be a thing depending on what time of day you ask Jeff Jarrett these days. And while you’re at it, ask him if Global Force Gold is still a thing.

Shortly after the TNA name was ditched, there was allegedly some sort of deal that would see both Impact and Global Force merge into one major promotion and for a time, the company would be known as GFW. The banner that is gracing this post was done years ago when I had some consideration in giving the Bound For Glory show a watch. It ended up not happening and the banner was left unused. But eventually, things fell apart, all mention of Global Force was scrubbed, and the company was back to being Impact Wrestling, which would stick for the next few years until going back to TNA in 2024.

In any event, we’ve got another Bound For Glory show; the first one in the proper Anthem era that is surprisingly still going to this very day, though for how long is another story that won’t be told here because this is not about today. It’s about yesterday. And also, Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Gold is no longer with the company, but the banner stays the same because who really gives a shit at this point?

Review #1374 – Xiao Monv/Magic Girl (Mega Drive)

Yeah, I’ve been on the fence with this one. Not necessarily a “bad” game or anything like that, but definitely has enough of that bootleg pirate original stink that I can’t exactly call it the hidden gem that the folks at Super Fighter Team and Piko Interactive thought that it was. Sometimes, these games are unlicensed by Sega for a reason.

Anyway, Wednesday should see Marvel get the spotlight with their non-Playstation new game… well, fairly recent, anyway… and then we’ll be doing “Spooky” stuff or something.
