Currently Playing - 12 - Dad Mode (Lollipop Chainsaw, Mario Kart World, et al) with Jonathan Holmes
Episode 148
Friday, 4 July, 2025

We're talking with one of the hosts of Talking to Women about Videogames on this episode of Currently Playing, Jonathan Holmes, writer for Nintendo Force Magazine, MTV reality star, illustrator, video producer, musician, and all-around Rennaisance man. Due to the unique nature of his personal and work life, he's currently playing a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing. We get impressions about Mario Kart World, mini Tetris, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP, Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered, SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos, Street Fighter 6, PuzzMiX, F-Zero GX, and more. We go through a few rounds of talking about The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask before talking about how the Zelda series has been used as a technical showcase for the latest things Nintendo has to offer...for good and for ill. Then Jonathan takes a look at Daniel's backlog and suggests tons of different things before settling on recommending Cave Story+ due to it's nature as a similar feeling game to Majora's Mask, just in a genre Jonathan prefers.0:00:00 - Welcome to the Show, Jonathan!0:08:22 - Maintaining a Certain Level of Inadequacy0:09:39 - The Latest from Mario Kart World0:16:35 - Dad Mode (Mini Tetris, Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered, SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos, Street Fighter 6, PuzzMiX, F-Zero GX)0:23:07 - The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask Preamble0:28:49 - Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP0:37:00 - Backlog Recap: The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask0:51:57 - Backlog Challenge: Cave Story+1:06:14 - Wrap Up/PlugsFollow Jonathan on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tronknotts.bsky.socialCheck out Nintendo Force Magazine: https://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/Check out Daniel's latest song Light World on Spotify (also available on every streaming platform): https://open.spotify.com/track/393fSKmE0MhWZYuoAiHZmL?si=b04e9b9ee7404659Follow Daniel on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/douibyorthst.bsky.socialFollow the show on Bluysky: https://bsky.app/profile/ttwav.bsky.socialSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ttwav
