I can't get over how good the MT-32 music in Leisure Suit Larry 3 is. youtu.be/MktdYOSFJWo?...

I went like 30 years not realizing how incredible the Apple IIgs soundtrack for King's Quest III is youtu.be/6G2Q8mbbor4?...

I didn't need a horoscope to tell me this

"So when Karl Jenkins was in Soft Machine he re-used the riff from Song for the Bearded Lady on Hazard Profile. John Marshall also played on both, and Roy Babbington played on Labyrinth, so it's basically three ex-Nucleus members playing a Nucleus riff on a Soft Machine album."

Update: Just saw this on their FB post. Still not seeing any US retailers offering it yet though.

Looks like you were right, the pre-orders are live at the official RGL website and they don't ship to the US :(

I will never get over the fact that Yes released a song with a New Jack swing bridge in 1991. youtu.be/J3VMpjML6Hg?...

Who up drinking Miralax

Funny but also sad how a really bad console port can tank the average score of a game on aggregate sites. Ikari Warriors is one of the greatest arcade games of all time, but sadly most people rating it are more familiar with its dismal NES port. Shame.

I know this isn’t the point but holy fuck that thing looks disgusting

How your email finds me

Yeah that's a good point. I saw the Amazon UK listing won't even ship to the US. I hope I can actually get the fucking thing because I'm pretty hype for it.

Yeah I saw that. I know they're based out of the UK so I'm just gonna try my luck with a US seller and if it doesn't end up happening... oh well. I'm not spending the cash for the outrageous international shipping fees, don't need it that bad.

I'll add it to the list of games to play when the A1200 maxi drops. Apple IIgs—there's a machine I haven't seen since third or fourth grade!

I've actually never played it. I stumbled across the title screen on Mobygames and fell in love with it.

How big is it

The snob in me wanted to hate this, but I gotta admit, this was an above-average popcorn movie. Not the worst Del Toro but definitely not the best. I enjoyed it! Shame about the lighting, though.

Kill me.

Yup! youtu.be/3UVzepqkmts?...

I know the one you're talking about but I can't remember the name either. Prominently featured in my favorite movie of all time, Dawn of the Dead (1978)

You'd be surprised at the amount of people who never do this

Yeah Pitstop is definitely in that conversation too

It pioneered the behind-the-car third-person view that racing games still use as a default to this day. You could make an argument for Turbo being first in that department, though I don't think it's as recognizably modern as PP.

1982 Pole Position
1985 Ultima IV
1989 Secret of Monkey Island
1990 John Madden Football

(Angry Video Game Nerd voice) what were they THINKING?

Dreamed I was parts-swapping an arcade stick and found out halfway through the buttons were the wrong size. Horrifying.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
