Shiny and non-shiny versions of all three Porygon evolutions.

Gone back to Pokemon Violet after the fantastic Switch 2 upgrade. It's taken a bit of work, but I think I now have the perfect team. Go Porygang!

There's only one choice for Switch 2 exclusive launch day games, right?

Sorry, only just seen this. I'll DM you. And figure out why my DMs are closed :)

I went there on a school trip about 40 years ago, and filled a roll of film with photos of that police box :)

The FunKey is definitely the most practical way to play Tetris. Game Boy for scale.

From the Nintendo UK Store, as they didn't put this in the direct.

They could at least have put this on it.

A game I worked on has just been announced for Evercade. I am officially retro.

Wait, it was on my wishlist. Why didn't I get an email?

Oh, I did, but I don't read my emails apparently.

I had no idea - Record of Lodoss War was amazing!

Stop talking about the Switch 2, and start talking about how Kiryu is in our game and Pinky's actor's performance is probably the best performance in any game. I'm serious. When we release some longer gameplay footage of her acting, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND

Everybody getting excited about Switch 2. Meanwhile, I'm learning Game Boy programming. Look, I made a triangle wobble a bit!

That VGA Monkey Island art was so good. And apparently all drawn with a mouse!

Looking forward to Nintendo releasing a trailer for an Alarmo update or a LEGO Virtual Boy at 1pm today.

Another nice thing from my Japan trip 20 years ago is this little magnifier and strip of film from the Ghibli museum. The strips were 1000ยฅ each and have a few frames from a movie on them.

Just found this retro Gradius phone strap thing that I bought at Tokyo Game Show in 2004. The strap, which I haven't yet got around to opening, is now older than Gradius was when I bought it.

Day 20 of our "Build a Model of Tailsโ€ advent calendar. So far zero pieces of Tails. I assume the final day is just a Tails figure you stick on top.

Got off to a pretty good start with the new Mystical Island expansion for Pokรฉmon TGC Pocket, opened a God pack.

As far as I remember, I don't think we used that on Doctor Who. The engine was used over a number of projects and it's probably something used by another game.

Cologne cathedral has a window where the texture hasn't finished loading.

Definitely interested in Cowboy Bebop, might have to look at that one in future.

Shame the Steam versions are region locked for the previous games. Though I imagine this one will keep me busy for quite a while anyway.

Seems really good so far, though I have no idea what half the menu options actually do - it doesn't give you much in the way of a tutorial. I'm only a few battles in though, so just starting to work stuff out.

I don't know how I've never played one before. I like strategy RPG type games, and giant robots, but somehow I've missed it until now.

I have that DLC, I think, as I got one of the bundles when I bought it.

Very much looking forward to getting Amuro so I can have that 70s Gundam theme playing on a loop through every battle (assuming it's in the game, that is).

Picked up Super Robot Wars 30 in the Steam sale. Never played the series before, but I'm already loving the over the top attack animations.
