Bruce Campbell on Duke Nukem/3D Realms:

Yes, although ScummVM had support for non-adventure games for decades now. Mainly RPGs and such. But yeah, there's something about seeing it running a Tetris clone that feels a bit off.

Oh, the refrigerator puzzle in Pilot Brothers is giving you PTSD? Well, why then not try out a game of just THAT with "Flip - Flop" (1995)? 😂

Turns out that in addition to the first two Pilot Brothers games ScummVM now also supports a handful of other games developed by Russian company "Gamos", ones that aren't adventures. Such as the Windows 9x port of WildSnake!

Go up to your brother
Kill him with your gun
Leave him lying in his uniform

My anaconda don't want none unless you got DOS, hun.

I understand. That's how I felt about Transformers 2. Haven't watched a Michael Bay movie since.

I don't mind a bunch of the 3rd one.

I'm way too old to be excited about anything that has "Scary Movie" in its title.

Do you care about things? The AI companies want to stop that. Their product, more than any other invention in human history, is training you to stare dead-eyed while a machine serves you a stream of mediocrity

The future The Lawnmower Man (MS-DOS, 1993) promised us never arrived :(

This is one of those films that I caught randomly on TV when it was new, and in my memory it is a cool weird & creepy flick. I've been afraid to revisit it ever since and most likely ruin the illusion.

Finished Gobliins 6. Despite finding its puzzle design too frustrating, I'd have to say that it's an improvement over the previous Goblins entry in every aspect. And I loved all the Gobliins 2 lore expansion, and the setups for Goblins 3. Now we need a Goblins 7 about Blount becoming a journalist.

I'll give you one better: you don't have to put a space in there either.

How do you do, fellow olds? 😄

If I paid a bit more attention I would have realized that ScummVM could display the MT-32 LCD messages for years, it just did it as a generic message popup. Now a little screen that looks like the MT-32 LCD appears in the top-right corner:

It's only because everyone is running. Walking speed is much slower.

How do you do, fellow olds? 😄

No

The recompiled PC version of Duke Nukem Zero Hour got a mod that allows you to play it in first person with mouse + keyboard support, really awesome

I am one of those people for whom Spongebob doesn't exist beyond the 3rd season. Which is partly why my hottest pop culture take is: Star Wars is for children, and Spongebob isn't.

A couple of weeks ago someone said to me that classic style dungeon crawlers don't exist anymore. Well, check this out

What I meant to say that the DOS port is inferior. In, like, every aspect.

Oh shit, you're right! It literally says so in the description. 😅
