a blog about video games from a guy stuck in the 90s!
Updates regarding this blog.
The WordPress community is certainly not shy when it comes to sending around good vibes, and I was recently nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award - twice! Now I'm generally not great at receiving these kinds of things so please forgive me if it's taken me a while to get a good response together. Truth …

Well it happened, and I'm a married man! The wedding, reception, and honeymoon couldn't have rocked any harder or gone any smoother - they simply were an absolute blast. What I remember of them, anyway. Not that I spent the days drinking heavily, but moderate drinking spread over two and a half weeks can really …
679 days. On this Saturday, it will have been 679 days I spent of my life as an engaged man! And now I will start back at 1 day as a married one. I couldn't be happier! Woo boy, what a long journey it's been. During that time, I started this blog and found a …
Why hello there folks, it's Geddy here, Geddy from NostalgiaTrigger. I have two confessions for you today: 1) I have major writer's block lately, and 2) I've been super busy. If the two things were ingredients in a recipe, that recipe would be for "mental turmoil" and it would taste like hot garbage. Truth be told, …
Why, hello there, fellow video game and nostalgia enthusiasts! It's been a while, or at least a few days, so have a seat and read some sentences that I have typed down before you. "Sounds good Geddy!" you probably said aloud. But today is a different day, for I am no longer just Geddy, no! I have …
In this day of pre-order bonuses and looking forward to games months before release, it's relatively simple to set yourself up for practically the whole year, all at one time. I was looking ahead into my gaming plans, and I thought, "I have so many games pre-ordered for the next year, that if I made …

Well I'm back from a Fourth of July weekend trip across the country, and I am officially behind in every conceivable way! I've tried to catch up on all the WordPress notifications that have come through, while also being able to put out something of interest myself. I have totally dropped the ball on both …
While it's been a good long time since I did a monthly update, I wanted to drop in and do a quick summary of games I've been playing, what I've got planned for the foreseeable future, and some quick news! First of all, I've got a special feature that nostalgia'd me pretty hard sitting in the …

For those of you that follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may know that I had some fun this weekend working on the new office. Specifically, my goal was to turn it from a cardboard jungle into an actual office and game room! In my old room, I have some track shelving that held a decent …

Hey everyone! Hope your weeks are all off to a great start. Today is my first day back in the office since buying the house so I feel like things can finally get back to normal. Like actually updating this blog! Speaking of the house, it's coming along awesome. However, try as I did, I wasn't …
Happy Friday good people of WordPress and other places! It's a good day indeed and a cause for celebration, and that's because I have officially reached 50 followers! 51, to be exact, but I totally missed it since it went from 49 to 51. I never thought I'd get a single follower, let alone fifty …

Welcome to the first in a new segment, "What's In Geddy's Hand?" the ambiguously named installment where I tell you about the handheld games that have been keeping me occupied, entertained, and most importantly, distracted from my real-life obligations. As I've mentioned before, my playing style is usually playing one large game at a time, with a …
Following an hour-long car ride to the airport, a 2.5 hour flight, a 20-minute Uber ride, and a 45 minute drive, I'm finally home from vacation, sun-burned and with the worst tan you've ever seen. I mean I look like I said "watch me get the shittiest tan you've ever seen," and then called Guinness World …
It's one week to the Switch launch and my nipples are hard as diamonds, people. I am majority excited yet a strange calm has washed over me. I feel like it's the last week of 5th grade before summer vacation. On the morning of Friday, March 3rd, of which I naturally took the day off work, …
I've been getting an elevated level of traffic recently, and as I've been spending more time on the site trying to crank out some quality content, something hit me. The name Nostalgia Trigger - do people even know why this blog is called that? I follow a ton of blogs with these great names that have …
Hey, I haven't posted one of these monthly updates in a while! Around the time last year when I was wrapping up Dark Cloud 2, I had plans to grab Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD and finally play and finish it. I had some fond memories of playing parts of it on Playstation 2 back …

A few words about Fallout 4 after a year-long hiatus.
Not unlike a long road trip, something happens close to the end when you're close to your destination, but somehow the last 25% of the ride takes forever. This is definitely the case of what happened with Dark Cloud 2. For anyone who hasn't played this game, there are 7 chapters in total, wherein at the end of …
It's 1:34am, Friday morning. I just paid $10 for Dragon Fantasy: Black Tomb of Ice. What's Dragon Fantasy? Truth be told, I have no idea, outside of a few brief reviews I skimmed though. Why's this worth a new post? Well, I don't do this sort of thing often. But for the life of me, I …

In this post, I briefly discuss Earthbound, which I have been enjoying.
