Get ready for… Side Walkin'

Honestly just dress to match the vibe level of the eyeglasses, regardless of the seasonality of the fabric or cut, and you'll be fine

After a few episodes this papier-mache weirdo is replaced by a real human, but the puppet regularly returns as her antagonistic “evil” version. They never explain the cavemen. It’s a very strange VHS magazine

free yourself today from any felt obligation to kiss a troop’s ass

Experience the weird wonder of GTV (no, not that GTV) Before PlayStation, Sony sponsored its own monthly games mag, Game Tech Video... on VHS?

I have uploaded the nightmarish first episode of another vintage VHS-based games magazine from 1980s Japan to ruin your morning: retronauts.com/article/2484...

Shane, we’re heading into MARCH 1st, not April

It's called a tonsure, and it's a sign that this console has chosen to devote its life to ascetic privation for the sake of spiritual enlightenment

Can't wait to learn who the Sisko analogue is

Good news for fans of books about old games who support my Patreon at the “send me a book” tiers: a new book about old games is here for me to send to you (once I sign them)

I completely forgot that ZD bought the Network. What an absolute scourge.

Happy to finally announce this! It’s been a privilege to work with such a beloved brand. Especially cool to bring back one of the best arcade beat-’em-ups ever (with rollback netcode courtesy of our amazing partners at Komi Games). Excited for folks to be able to play this…soon!

It was hard not to give anything away in that episode!

This project has been in the works for ages, and I am contributing Some Stuff to it, so I'm excited that it's finally been announced!
