Hello, everyone, and welcome to another Joe's Monologues that has an announcement that I am happy to share today. Before we get to the announcement, I have other topics to talk about first. Without further ado, let's dive right in.
PlayStation 30th Anniversary:
The celebration is in full swing so far. The PS5 got an update that given us an option to switch between themes of older PlayStation consoles. I liked the PS2 theme the best because of one thing besides the fact that it's the best selling Sony console. It's the charming environment platforming PS2 games have, like Jak and Daxter. We currently have them on the catalog. And we are gonna get more of them in December 10, which is when three more PS2 games get added as part of the milestone celebration.
During PlayStation's 30th year, PlayStation Plus Premium will get more classics monthly and that's something that will make the celebration even more exciting, so no more just sticking with playing our remasters bullcrap with the execption of one game that is faithful to the original's charming environment despite being remastered. That's Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, which I got to beat before playing the sequel.
What I like to see the most on the PS2 department are Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, the Budokai trilogy and the Simpsons: Hit & Run. These games are the ones I loved as a child and been holding them to my heart with the exception of the 3D-era Mortal Kombat games because I was too young to play them and Mortal Kombat is a franchise only suitable for mature audiences because there is extreme violence with gore and strong language on games on the NRS-era, which consisted of hearing the f word. Hopefully, I can be able to revisit them if Sony ever brings them to us.
Seasons of Mana:
Of course, I have did my pitch for the next Mana title. What makes it so special is that I have been coming up with avenues it can really take, like Unreal Engine 5, the party of six characters, etc. But I have one piece of information left over that I have not talked about in my Seasons of Mana pitch yet. Like how Mario & Luigi: Brothership involved relighting the four Great Lighthouses in a way to restore Concordia to its former glory and Tales of Symphonia involved activating all eight elemental temples, you would activate all eight Elemental Lighthouses.
So when you are at the point when you have all eight Alms, you would be tasked to activate all eight Elemental Lighthouses. Each lighthouse has a Benevodon you must fight. Activate all eight Elemental Lighthouses and the portal to the Sanctuary of Mana would open at the naval of the world located in the land of four seasons.
Again, we don't know if Seasons of Mana is potentially the next mainline Mana title. We will be in the know for the next one when 2026 comes.
Big Announcement:
Alright, folks, it's time for the big announcement. I have officially bought my new gaming laptop. The specs are good that it can not just play games smoothly, but also enhance multitasking with little to no slowdown. With it, I can be able to start my journey to also become a PC player, do video editing to create my own video game logo combos, speed up my Wrapper Offline career and send an invite to my online casual. I was playing MultiVersus on it as a test run and it turned out to be smooth. I am doing a PC streaming test on MultiVersus. Because this is a test stream, there will be no commentary and I will be playing against bots throughout the test stream.
I plan to get games I have on console on PC, like Marvel Rivals. Great hero shooter. I will be posting video game clips and VODs on my gaming channel on YouTube, so don't forget to subscribe there. Here's the link to my gaming channel.

Conclusion:
As we approach the end of 2024, this is potentially the final Joe's Monologues of this year before we head into 2025. I am excited to start this journey to also become a PC player. You have a wonderful day.
