Talkin' about old games, mostly Sega. They let me talk on the HG101 Podcast sometimes by mistake. He/him/they/them, these are all fine.

Damn, Sonic betrayed the Soap brand (which I don't think exists anymore)

A Virtua Fighter nerd explains the New Virtua Fighter EVO teaser at length After months of buildup, the Virtua Fighter staff came up on stage at Evo this weekend, dropped about a minute of actual gameplay footage, updated us on continued support for VF5 Revo, and went on the...

"When you show this at Evo, you are effectively inviting genre maniacs who have played the previous game for thousands of hours to pore over every detail and speculate.

And that’s what I’m going to do for you, because I’m exactly that kind of maniac."

One of the things about working grave shifts for almost a decade is that not only is my perception of time completely messed up, any breaking news or whatever had already happened so I'm playing catch-up on the horrors that have been unleashed on the world after media workshopped it for babies.

The secret to success is to be best friends with the actual top draw of the company and then marry the owner's daughter. And also get on a ridiculous amounts of juice and steal Shane Douglas's gimmick.

I've heard Full Force's "Ain't My Type of Hype" a lot, both from the movie "House Party" and just from regular music player means, but I never saw the music video before. I had no idea who ECROF was, and uh...I wasn't expecting that.

I just assume it's because it is one of those luxuries that The Poors can't indulge in due to the price of entry.

It was some Idaho medical center CEO or something, but I guess they can't decide if it was a drug overdose by his own doing or if it was a murder (the family is arguing it is a murder because ???)

This is like not telling the kids that fire Pokemon are weak against water attacks.

It's weird how you don't hear much about the recent mysterious slayings of CEOs in the news. It's like the media is making a concerted effort to not inform the public of the mortality of the rich and powerful.

That reminds me, Xfinity is basically the only game in town in my area for internet, and while we don't have a cable TV subscription, they at least give Peacock as a free add-on to the internet service, so that's kind of neat.

I rarely utilize streaming services, maybe I should watch a thing or two. I just let my other family members have access to them. My parents end up just using Pluto TV and Tubi the most after I showed them how it works, they like what is basically cable TV navigation menus.

My phone plan should add HBO Max as a freebie so I can watch AEW regularly and nothing else since it seems like everything else WBD has is on every other service.

They just keep adding streaming services to my phone plan as free add-ons and it really dawned on me that there's just too many streaming services and also charging for them plus showing ads is like cool I love cable TV with extra fragmentation and steps.

I'm officially hired! But it's going to be a minute till I start

Our food stamps didn't come through on the 1st either (the application is still processing afaik)

We're broke and running out of food, and still need ongoing grocery help until I can get paid

Also enjoy Wolf's work in AJPW feat. Virtua for the Sega Saturn. The game has both Wolf AND Jeffry, you can play as Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Jun Akiyama, Stan Hansen...basically an all-star cast, plus Johnny Ace.

Oh shit. I wonder if my ad blockers will keep ads from showing up on this like every other YouTube video, because I might end up watching this.

It did seem to lead to an uptick of more wireless mechanical keyboards and such, which was neat, but even without the wires, the other problem they couldn't really figure out was the ergonomic issues with trying to do a keyboard + mouse setup while you're sitting on the couch.

This reminds me of back when SteamOS, Steam Machines, and the dream of couch PC gaming was still alive. I really wanted that sort of lap based keyboard mouse desk thing to use on a couch. I don't think any of the major peripheral manufacturers really nailed a design that worked well.

Also only a couple of folks that would otherwise not orbit the types of circles I think we mingle with on the regular. I got some blowback but I didn't get it as bad as some other friends and mutuals who, let's say, got it way worse because of, well, who they are, lets just say.

Just the sort of folks that are like "not everything is political" and etc etc, you know, that sort of "centrist" talking point.

It has been a long time since I last saw House Party (the original, not the remake or whatever) so I wonder how well that movie holds up to my nostalgia.
