I'll never ask for a new game again.

Happy 2026 everybody! Holy shit 2025 is done already? Where does the time go. Feels like it was just Christmas! XD! But hey... it can still be given all the games in this years New Winter Games Block! Or... as I like to call it... The Winter Jackpot 2026! We hit the casino in this chilly season as this will literally be my BIGGEST new games block ever! Bigger than the 2025 Winter Games Block with 29 games. Bigger than the 2024 Summer Games Block with 17 games. Bigger than the 2024 Winter Games Block with 23 games. Bigger than all fucking 3 of those COMBINED! The grand total of the amount of games in this block? ONE-HUNDRED AND FUCKING SIX! You can especially thank my job for even giving me that many games. 99% of the games I did get from Steam during the Winter sale. There are a few Switch 2 games sprinkled in... oops did I say that out loud? Yep I got a Switch 2 for Christmas! I'M PART OF THE CLUB NOW BITCHES! XD! These games range from silly, to horror, to puzzle, to platform, to sports, and pretty much everywhere in between. I know you are all DYING to see what games I got. So let's go through them in order!
I already had 3DSEN. But did you know the 3D NES emulator has a VR version? It's true! So now I can play my NES games in 3D AND VR! Man this list is already starting crazy. So let's up the craziness factor like 10 trillion fucking times with "420BLAZEIT 2: GAME OF THE YEAR -=Dank Dreams and Goated Memes=- [#wow/11 Like and Subscribe] Poggerz Edition"... because memes am I right? Oh if you thought the stupid games ended there? You are dead wrong. I picked up a little gem called "A Story About Farting". I'll be honest, I picked up most of these games on Steam because they looked so stupid yet so good. I probably don't even know half these games I got. Yet I still got them because I was just like... hey that looks interesting! Now a couple games... while I don't fully know, I at least know the series because I played the first game. Those games being Amanda the Adventurer 2 and 3. Again I haven't seen much on the games themselves but I am familiar with Amanda the Adventurer. Being the Dora the Explorer inspired horror game about a girl named... well... Amanda and her friend Wooly the sheep. Am I ready to be scared shitless? You know I sure am! But those games will probably be nothing compared to Andy's Apple Farm. Yep. It has a Steam release. And you better believe I am keeping my fucking light on when I play that game... assuming I do play that game. Or maybe I won't. Obviously the Miicord Crew will be featured in this block as Baldi, Sans, Monika, Bobby, Sammy, and Sonic.EXE will be checking out these new games too! If you've seen my Summer Games Done Quick 2025 block, you'll know I played Backyard Baseball '97. It was definitely a little more difficult of a game than I thought... so I went ahead and picked up Backyard Baseball '01 and Backyard Football '99 anyway! I can't wait to score maybe... 1 run and 1 field goal? That sounds about good! At least I'll know how those games work. I have no fucking clue how to play card games and yet I picked up Balatro anyway. Maybe that'll be just one of many games where I do play the tutorial. Not in Bejeweled 3 though. I know how that game works.
Now this next game... technically I got when it was free on the Epic Games Store. But I had originally put it in my Steam Wishlist because I knew it was a popular horror game with a good fanbase. That being Bendy and the Ink Machine. I mean... who could be scared of a 60s animated character on cardboard? Not me! This next game should be a throwback. I actually played this way back ago during my awful block. YOU REMEMBER THAT? I am fucking stunned this game made it to Steam. That being Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. What's that it mines Bitcoins from your computer?... Do I look like I give a shit? So what if my CPU usage spikes up? I just want to know that I AM FUCKING WINNER! The next 2 games... I know next to nothing about. To be honest I put a lot of these games in my Steam Wishlist like 10 years ago. But they are Broken Reality and Click To Continue. Again, I don't know much about them. But I bought them so clearly they must be good! Just like Crash Bandicoot N. Sand Trilogy! I never played the Crash series but I am... VERY VAGUELY familiar with it. You control this... I don't know... fox? What species is Crash? I don't know. But you bust crates and spin and go WOAH and a bunch of other fun shit. Banjo Kazooie isn't a game on Steam sadly. But you know what is? Croc: Legend of the Gobbos! I think the Croc series is supposed to be for children? I mean don't take it from me, take it from Druaga1. Another game I thought looked fascinating was Crowbar Climber. I think I've seen content creators have this game on in the background while they do commentary or whatever and looking at it? I was like... hey that looks fun! So I got it! Or how about a game created together by said content creators in Curiosity: A Cat Climbing Game! I heard DGR_Dave was a role in this game and he's one of my favorite live streamers. One of many reasons why I picked up that game. You know if we go back to my Summer Games Done Quick 2025 block, you might know it ended on DELTARUNE. I did have the chapter 1 and 2 demo. But now I have the full game. And because I paid for the full game, it has made its way into the block!
Did I mention Switch 2 games? Oh yeah I did. How does Donkey Kong Bananza sound? I was actually debating whether I get this game or not. But after looking at it, I was like... okay sure. Anyways back to PC with Dragon's Lair! The classic FMV game where it's essentially about hitting the right buttons at the right time. So I watch a movie and tell it to give me the good parts when it wants to. I hope I make it further in the original version than I did in the NES version. Holy shit was that a nightmare. Couldn't even make it past the first fucking screen. Another couple games here I don't know much about... but I still got on Steam because it was my taste of gaming was Dreamcore and Drywall Eating Simulator. I did say good taste after all. Of course at this rate it's tradition that I just get all the new NFL Madden games. I got 23, then I got 24, then 25, it only makes sense to get 26! Hell when I eventually play that game, whenever that day is, I might even do my next Detroit VS Everybody match in that game exclusively! Then I can say I lost in Madden 26! XD! Sticking with EA, I also got PGA Tour as well! I sucked ass at PGA Tour 2K23, I'll probably suck ass in the EA version too. Elipsium, Fever Meme, and Fly Corp are 3 more games included in this block. I think Fever Meme is meant to be like a troll rage game. The other 2, again same with many others I know next to nothing about. But that's what will make this block more fun right? Why not? I might as well add some more Humongous games in this block too with the Freddi Fish series games 1 through 5! I imagine I should enjoy those games as much as I did with the Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, and Putt-Putt series! I hear Garbage Pail Kids: Mad Mike and the Quest for Stale Gum is supposed to look and feel like an NES game if I recall correctly? I hope I recall correctly at least... I never dabbled in Garbage Pail when I was younger. Although I do remember collecting Wacky Packages. That was fun seeing the disgusting parodies of everyday products! Speaking of old retro games, how about Golden Tee Arcade Classics? More retro goodness fills the block as... I assume it's some sort of Golf collection? I mean I never played Golden Tee so I could be dead wrong.
Oh yeah here's another game I remembered seeing during Awesome Games Done Quick 2025. A really stupid game but it looked entertaining and silly. Golf With Your Grandmother is the game. You literally golf with your grandmother. The game will really speak for itself once I play it. So... 2 years ago... holy shit it was that long ago already? I finished up Trover Saves the Universe! What does that have to do with anything? Because the company behind that game also had a game called High On Life. Another game with that Rick and Morty comedic spunk into it. I know your main weapon is this talking alien gun... thing... and uh... that's it. You know I never really had a real interest in the Hollow Knight series... and yet at the same time I felt inclined to play it anyway so... fuck it... Hollow Knight and Silksong made their way into the block! Who knows maybe I will end up enjoying them like everyone else does! I have a question for you. Do you like to be balanced on your feet? Of course you do! But the main character in this next game probably doesn't. That game being... Human Fall Flat! I think I checked out this game like... one time long ago. I remember next to nothing about it. But I was familiar with the title of it. I know some big let's players checked it out a while back. And by while I mean like... 8 or so years ago... oh well better late than never! And yes... I don't know why I got these next 2 games. I guess I'm a fucking masochist but I did get I'm on Observation Duty 5 and 6. I guess I deemed Observation Duty's 1 through 4 not as scary as I thought which is why I got these 2. Not like there's guarantee I can rest easy after playing those 2 games. Here's a game you might or might not remember. The Corridor. A goofy little Stanley Parable inspired game where you walk down a corridor and push a button... yeah well that developer is back with It Takes a War! It looks like it's supposed to resemble those old 90s or early 2000s FPS games. But of course I doubt it's going to be just that. Literally given that this dude also made The Corridor. He didn't make the Jackbox games though but I still bought those anyway. I already had 3 and 6 before and 4 I also got for free from Epic.
I know Jackbox does have a Discord server where you can advertise games. So I'll have to see if I can get some of which going. If not, I have other ways of showcasing the Jackbox party games! You know having a job now means I will be dealing with... not so happy customers. So maybe it's time I know what it's like to be a Karen in Karen: An Outrage Simulator! Maybe then I will know what makes them tick! You know speaking of DGR_Dave, another game I got was King's Quest Collection. This was because he himself played it and I guess I was intrigued enough to play it myself. In the Halloween block I checked out a game called LIDAR.EXE. And the dude who made that made LIDAR Exploration Program on Steam. It's the same idea. You take a LIDAR laser device to create dots and reveal your surroundings. What mysterious secrets will I uncover? Just like in The Long Drive? Or Luto?... okay I only got that game because I saw a clip on TikTok of someone playing the game and apparently if you make a wrong choice the game closes itself... yes that one simple thing intrigued me to play that game. It had been a while since I threw in a Switch 2 game. Let's throw another one in with Mario Kart World! This was a digital pack in game with my Switch 2. However but I wished for this game anyway so I'll include it in the block! One thing about me is that I don't have a girlfriend just yet. But maybe I can know what it's like to have on in MiSide. Or I can just put a cap on and whack some baseballs in MLB The Show 25! Moral Dilemma: The Interview is technically a free game. However it did have a paid DLC which is why I am throwing this game in the block! You know just like Madden, I also went ahead and picked up both NBA 2K25 and 2K26. Did I need to get 2K25? No. Did I anyway? Yes. Will I play it? Absolutely! How about a tech demo for the block. Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour anyone? This next game was temporarily removed from Steam because I guess allegedly there were claims of stolen copyrighted assets. But I guess the dev of the game won the argument because No Players Online was brought back on Steam and I was able to pick it up! HUZZAH! Another game with a similar theme I picked up was oneway.exe: Module 1.0. This I know less about. But it was once again another game on Steam that picked up my interest!
Remember Only Up? Yeah of course you do!... or maybe you don't. The original game is still not available on Steam... wait... sorry... "not available" I meant. However there is a... bootleg copy we will say on Steam also called Only Up. There's a shit load of negative reviews given to the game... which is exactly why I got it! XD! Yeah yeah cancel me all you want. It's my money to spend on the games I want to play okay? Just like Papa's Pizzeria Deluxe! Albeit that game is much more loved by a mile. Same with PEAK. I'm sure I will have fun playing with random people who have no clue what they're doing. Albeit the game does have an offline mode from what I know. So I did play Pixel Ripped 1989 and 1995... in reverse order. And so let's reverse order it even further with Pixel Ripped 1978: An Atari Adventure! Because fuck proper orders! Albeit 1978 was actually released after 1989 and 1995. So who am I to complain? Did I get Planet Coaster 2 and not the original? Yes I did. Why? I really don't know. I honestly have no idea what pulled me to want the 2nd one and not the original. At least I had the original Plants VS. Zombies before I grabbed Replanted. Yeah yeah I know Replanted had... flaws that people didn't like. But once again, I really don't give 2 shits. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on that game that I was hooked. I loved the original Plants VS Zombies and to play an official remaster of it for PC... without ads will be very exciting! In fact it's one of the games I am most excited to play in the block! Another game I got that quite intrigued me... holy shit I am saying intrigued a lot... XD! But it's called Police Simulator: Patrol Officers. I don't know I guess I was interested to know what it's like being an officer of the law. I wonder how many traffic tickets I'll write! Speaking of simulator games... I also picked up PowerWash Simulator 2 and Pro Gymnast Simulator. Both fun and entertaining games. With Pro Gymnast having a more comedic side of course. Still a game I am looking forward to playing though! And on the topic of Humongous games... like... 500 sentences later... I did pick up Putt-Putt Joins the Parade and Putt-Putt Travels Through Time. That should be it for Humongous games for a while at least.
From the creators of Plague Inc: Evolved, brings you Rebel Inc: Escalation! You're not managing a deadly disease this time. No. You're on a war. And it'll be up to me to make the best military ever to keep my land safe! Here's a horror game that captured my interest. REPOSE. Sometimes all it takes is the cover art to get my attention. Sometimes it's the title like Rock Simulator... yes... Rock Simulator. I'll let that speak for itself. And sometimes you can get a game gifted to you by a friend. For example, special thanks to AcousticJamm for gifting me ROGUE LIGHT DECK BUILDER. No I wasn't screaming. The title was. I guess you're trying to build a deck with a hammer, nails, faulty lighting, and I guess your goal is to achieve getting one million dollars? I mean how hard is it to build a deck? Surely not that hard. Oh yeah here's another couple games I got but not the original. I checked out The Room Two during my Halloween block and now have The Room Three and The Room 4: Old Sins! I did quite enjoy playing Two during my Halloween block and I think I will have fun checking out the puzzles in those 2 other games! Hey I'm a techy guy. I can get my way around a computer. And other electronics too. Why not fix them up in ServiceIT: You can do IT? Put my tech skills to the test. And then after that I can shit my pants some more with Silent Hill f, Simulacra, Simulacra 2, and Simulacra 3! Wait what am I talking about? Phones aren't scary! But sometimes if I don't want to shit my pants, I can just visit my old friend Sonic The Hedgehog and do some racing with him in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds or celebrate his birthday again in SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS. I know I had been playing the original Sonic Generations... I mean yeah it had been a long ass time since I played the original. But this is a good excuse to get back to that game! I don't know if save data carries over from the original to the Shadow version. But if not, I suppose it wouldn't hurt restarting the game anyway. Kids look away... this next game isn't for you. It's South Park: The Stick of Truth. Are you ready to hear probably 50 million F-bombs? I sure am. I wonder if they did just enough to still get an M rating but not quite AO.
Kids you can look again now. It's a big transition going from South Park to SpongeBob as I picked up The Cosmic Shake and Titans of the Tide. I haven't watched SpongeBob in a long ass time. But dammit it's still a part of my childhood and I wanted to check out the games! Okay so... cancel me all you want for me getting these next 2 games. I don't care. Yes I know they were part of failed scammy scummy suspicious Kickstarter but I still got them... again... for the memes. Star Rangers XE and Starlite: Astronaut Rescue! That one (allegedly) being developed in collaboration with NASA. I guess one of those games at least was supposed to be some MMO game about... uh... space? Do I think either game will be any good? Probably not. But again... it's for the memes. At least a legitimate good game I got was Stray. Not a rage game like Curiosity as far as I know. More of a chill kind of cat game. Don't be shocked when I go "awwwwww!" a shit load of times. Just a few games left to announce here. The goofy games don't end. Do I want to break the law? Well not in real life obviously. But I can in Street Stallion: The Jaywalk Simulator! I can gallop my way to jail! One more Switch 2 game. Technically Super Mario Party Jamboree was released for the original. However there is a Switch 2 version with an extra mode called Jamboree TV. I don't know whether you can access that from the start or not. I hope you can. Though if not... I mean it's still a fun Mario Party game. I'll play it one way or another! Super Video Golf was a game I got because I saw the Game Grumps play it. It legit looked fun. I don't think it'll be difficult like true PGA games. I think it's meant to control more like classic retro Golf games. Speaking of retro, I picked up Tetris Forever and UFO 50! 2 amazing games with true retro aesthetics! But you know I just can't spend time collecting video games forever. I also need to save up to be able to get what truly matters to me. I know houses are expensive at the moment. But when I do get one... I need to be able to learn how to move. Which is why I got Unpacking!... that's totally the reason why I got that game! And perhaps I can go back through old memories and mix in old photos into now reality with Viewfinder!
Just a couple games left. It may be Winter. But somewhere around the world, it's nice and warm and bright and sunny. And you know what that means. Yes it's that time to get out into the water and splash around. And no better way to experience that feeling than with some Waterpark Simulator! And believe me... I will only use the best water! And last... but certainly not least is a game called What Remains of Edith Finch. Now... technically I have played this game before. It was a very long time ago. At least according to Steam the last time I played it was April 5th, 2019. I remember... honestly absolutely nothing about it. All I know about the game is from the description about why you are the sole survivor of your family. And that does it for all the new games I got! I hope I didn't miss any... I'm not going back to check. XD! I'm sure I got most of them down anyway. I tell you... this is going to be a long ass block. So long it might actually stretch until the Steam Summer sale. And believe me, during this time I'll definitely want to be playing more than just the new games. So how about some bonus announcements? Starting with some new NeedNoMics branded YouTube channels!... okay i think i'm starting to become the next jacksucksatlife with all the channels i have. XD! Along with the 5 main ones I have, I will be adding 4 new channels. NeedNoFortnite, NeedNoArt, NeedNoSpeedruns, and NeedNoMics II. Though albeit you could technically say I'm only adding 3 new channels. But why did I list 4? NeedNoFortnite will be the new name to my NeedNoMoreMics channel. Since for the most part all I did stream there was just Fortnite content. I know I did do other streams there but I definitely did dedicate Fortnite streams to that channel. Which is why that channel is being rebranded as NeedNoFortnite. NeedNoArt... yeah believe it or not but I've actually been wanting to do some art streams. I'll be using a Wii U app called Art Academy: SketchPad to do so. For the most part I'll be taking images of... whatever and trying my best to recreate said image. I've also been really wanting to get back into speedrunning lately. Which is why I am creating NeedNoSpeedruns. Especially since I still have an NES Remix 2 100% speedrun to do from my incentives.
NeedNoMics II will essentially be like the new NeedNoMoreMics channel. I'll be streaming more or less whatever I want whenever I want. However the difference there is that unlike my NeedNoMoreMics channel, the vods from NeedNoMics II will be published to NeedNoVODs. Along with my streams from NeedNoSpeedruns. NeedNoFortnite and NeedNoArt will not have streams posted to the VODs channel. Any and all streams from those 4 channels too will not have blogs associated with them... what? That's not a lazy excuse to not do stream blogs? I don't know what you're talking about! One final thing and then I swear you can go to bed... there will be a change in the schedule. With all the new channels I am adding, I want to make room for streams to do on those channels... but with having only so many days of the week... how will I fit them all? Well... I was thinking of alternating weekly schedules. I may adjust them as time goes on... but for now I will have a week A and week B. Sundays on both Week A and B will be Simulator games. Mondays on Week A will be a Miicord Crew stream. Tuesdays and Thursdays for both weeks will still be off or makeup stream days. Wednesdays on Week A will be art streams. Fridays on Week A will be Fortnite streams. And Saturdays on Week A will be Mario 35 or Wild Cards. for Week B, Mondays will be main channel Wild Cards. Wednesdays will be dedicated to the Winter and Summer of Wii Sports Extravaganza! Fridays will be Miicord Crew Wild Cards. And Saturdays will be speedrun streams! WHEW!... that was a handful to get through. We really are starting 2026 off strong. And of course for any doubleheaders I have, the 2nd streams of all doubleheaders will continue to be main channel wild cards on the channel of my choice! Whether that be main channel, Fortnite, Art, 2nd channel, or Speedrun. I will enjoy streaming on NeedNoMics II especially during my Winter Jackpot Block just because of how fucking long that block will take. I am genuinely excited to play all the new games I got...
And yes even the games that will scare me shitless.
