Finished RoboCop Unfinished Business. Highly enjoyable mini campaign that gets a little too easy at the end. Hopefully they fix the broken chapter where you canโ€™t pick up weapons.

I havenโ€™t seen FF yet but I did enjoy it. I just never felt the need to engage with it more than once.

Itโ€™s weird, once upon a time getting the new MCU blu ray was something I did day one. Last night I was out and saw Thunderbolts* on a shelf and said oh, thatโ€™s out?!!

I will be getting it, but man, seeing $89 as the base price for the MK Kollection and a used copy of Mario Kart World for $99 last night. If game coverage isnโ€™t your job, itโ€™s about all you can afford to do and I donโ€™t want that to be my life anymore.

I have so many conversations with people now about how they used to play games and more they donโ€™t and the issue is price.

Gosh, I remember during the PS1 days it felt like almost everyone had one, especially after the PSOne where it got cheaper.

So after Philโ€™s experience I guess Greg is next.

Some type of retro game preserver at DC or Marvel.

Wow, I actually forgot there was a Direct today. I guess Iโ€™ll but PvZ again for the 6th or 7th time.

My only hope is that it theyโ€™re going to do this again that theyโ€™ll pull a Marvel Rivals out of it.

I just started this tonight and agree with just about everything in this video. Robocop feels like something out of the 360 era in all the best ways. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cO0U...

Batman - Generation 16 Episode #055
Publisher: Sunsoft Developer: Sunsoft Released: July 27, 1990 One of the handful of great games Sunsoft produced based on Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film. This game also became a focal point of gaming's growing impatience with Nintendo in America. Batman - Generation 16 Episode #055

On this day in 1990 Sunsoft unleashed Batman on the Sega Mega Drive. It would eventually come west to the Genesis, but not before a drawn out public fight that saw media and fans turn on Nintendo's draconian 3rd-party publisher restrictions. #Sega #GenesisDoes #Generation16

For many reasons this year next to none. I bought the new RoboCop but havenโ€™t had a chance to install it. The last new release I got if you can call it that was DKCR HD.

Iโ€™m interested to see the sales on this. Switch 2 is in that early 360 era where all its base if effectively jumping to the next big thing. Most people who bought one will get this. But, are they also find with MKW for a bit longer given DKB is $90? (In Canada, regional price may vary)

Here are some of the level 'script' files for NES Silver Surfer. These control the spawning and behaviour of the objects within the levels. This example is taken from Firelord Horizontal. It uses a simple programming language that is interpreted at runtime. These were manually typed in - no editor!
