The Dorks’ Delight

No, it was a game I never saw before but it was pretty fun

You have to throw a set amount of knives at a rotating target. It gets harder as you need to avoid the other knives, and the target keeps spinning faster.

It looked like this, but it wasn't exactly this one

Same for me on the n64 version

I'll never forget using the old man as a secret character and his password

OLDMAN
2001

I just got smoked by a 75 year old man in a video game...

On his flip phone. What year is this?

I'm actually pissed right now

🕹️🎮

Oh, yeah, I kinda buried the lead on this one

ITS (the true) NBA JAM 4.

the franchise is confusing because the name got bought out but the actual forces behind the original games kept making basketball games with different names. So the true lineage of games are those made by midway (imo)

This was an era where they were crapping out basketball games like every 90 days but actually don't sleep on this one, it's so good

I have a younger coworker who's not really in to video games, but they get the most random bits and pieces of gaming info via tik tok.

Today he was like "yeah so I heard that purple guy from Mario is 7ft tall, is that true?"

Gamer pro tip: If you're about to be hit by Liu Kang's Fatality, there's a little button on the Sega Genesis console labeled "RESET." Press that and you won't lose.

If you aggressively yank your controller at the right angle, you can cause the console to freeze. You receive comparable results, but without leaving the couch!

Kirby 64 is the only other one that comes to mind for now. Same thing, the d pad is your movement. There is a few others but I don't remember them.

I had a weird adjustment period when I got one of the modern shaped controllers and those were the games that stuck out

It makes the AKI pro wrestling games a little awkward to play since the d pad is the movement input instead of the stick

The stick? The stick makes you taunt your opponent...because that makes sense

Sorry pal, you didn’t water your Bulbasaur enough, it’s dried up. Do better next time.

They should make a Pokémon game with permadeath.

Sorry kid, your Charmander is fucking dead. Please go back to Pallet town and try again.

Also, I didn't know you had game like that John. congrats on the height

Despite being listed as 183cm, I have my doubts about that accuracy since he's always doing that bendy thing with his knees. I don't think he's ever standing straight and tall.

If the measurement were to be his height standing with unbent knees, 7ft or 213cm is plausible

I recently had the deeply nerdy pleasure of explaining the whole Super Sentai / Power Rangers connection to someone who had no idea

If you can't handle me at my Mankind you don't deserve me at my Dude Love

"King of the Hill Shippuden" okay you're right but don't call it that

Between the old mask toy line, the Batman forever toys, and modern NECA toys...there's plenty of Jim to go around.

I don't even know why I was caught off guard, I guess I just never thought to google "Jim Carey action figure"

I was going trying to make a funny post along the lines of "surely this is the first Jim Carey action figure"

And oh boy, was I wrong. What a weird rabbit hole that I'm now falling down.

New collection incoming?

That may be true but citing Captain Planet probably also wouldn't go over well with the same surly school children who think "Gay-uh" is peak comedy

Thank you for the sacrifices that you make in the name of gaming

Every time I see this game, I think of some dweeby 90's kid getting mocked by friends for playing
"illusion of GAY-uh" and having no way of proving that it's pronounced "Guy-Uh"

There are so many original Game Boy games that if someone were to play and review just one per week, it'd take 20 years.

That's not even counting Game Boy Color.

L.A. Machineguns: Rage Of The Machines was released by Sega in 1998, but the game's plot takes place on August 7th, 2025 — TODAY!!! This is the sequel to '95's Gunblade NY and can ONLY be found here in LA! #Barcade #LA #LosAngeles #Sega #Arcade #VideoGames #Gaming #Gamer

Today I learned that there are a handful of video games based on E.T., not just the infamous Atari 2600 one.

I (and I'm sure many) just kinda assumed that nobody wanted to take a chance after the first game.

You never hear about the other games.

🕹️🎮

The box for this is amazing, I love the space background

I never realized that the PlayStation 2 had a whopping 29 games at launch in the states, that is insane! Some real bangers in there, too. And then, there's fantavision.
