Welcome to the Virtua Planet

As an interactive medium at its core, I’ve always been fascinated with gaming as a means to explore, experiment, and vibe in virtual worlds. Inspired by the curiosity-stoking experiences of the arcade’s polygonal pioneers, immersive sims, virtual reality, and whatever it is that Shenmue is, I enjoy games as travel destinations as much as artistic works, products of play, or nostalgic relics.

Join me on this blog as I explore games and inhabit their spaces as a virtual traveler, and chronicle the personal discoveries I find unique, interesting, and absurd.

These are my travelogues of a gaming backlog

You can find me on this blog (The Virtua Planet) and on podcasts including the Dreamcast Junkyard‘s DreamPod, and the TitanCast. I try to avoid social media as much as I reasonably can but you can also follow me on Bluesky (@JetBrianRadio).
