The race to be edgy and memetic to secure clicks (and stay in business I suppose) has eroded almost all journalism to the point a lot of it has become unreadable at best or ai slop at worst.

I miss when games journalism didn’t use terms like ‘enshittification’ in article titles.

tweet that reads: Lady behind me at The Thing screening last night to her partner "why are they shooting at the dog?" and her partner says very firmly "have you never seen a film before? You watch it and information is revealed"

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

I'd like to announce that I'm directing and editing a documentary on Electronic Gaming Monthly in conjunction with @mylifeingaming.bsky.social. This is a passion project of ours. There will be no fundraiser. No ETA yet, hopefully soon. It is not associated with the recent compendium.

In case this guy is out there and needs it for his UI or anything, here's a link to a high quality, 600dpi scan I did of the keyart/flyer for Cliff Hanger.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is notorious for its poor DVD release. A year or two ago, someone sent me 4 of the home laserdiscs releases. Here's the first of four that I am uploading to the Internet Archive. archive.org/details/Teen...

Me on a Friday | Me on a Monday.

There's just a scene where he says he's going 'out to a movie, dat okay wit you???' and then it goes into Mikey and Donnie harassing the Dominos pizza guy, and then the scene with him leaving Critters is a bit after that.

i am declaring the next twelve months the Year of Virtual Boy (for those age 7 and up)

THIS SHIT IS SO DANGEROUS THE LAST TIME I DID THIS I HAD A PIC-A-NIC BASKET AND SOME STUPID BEAR IN A GREEN HAT WEARING A COLLAR AND TIE (WHILE RIDING A GOTDANGED BIKE!!!) CAME ALONG, STOLE IT, AND CYCLED OFF INTO THE SUNSET YELLING ABOUT HOW HE WAS SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE BEAR FUCK JELLYSTONE PARK

Me on a Friday | Me on a Monday.

So apparently this is exactly what they're doing. Wish the main post called that out because it's rad af.

Oh shit, you're right. Reading comprehension fail.

Imagine if TMNT just cut when Raph went to the movie theater and then they started showing Critters, and then after Critters ended it cut back to Raph leaving the movie theater and continued the TMNT movie.

The sad part is if and when these tariffs go away, all these companies like MS and Nintendo aren't going to go back and lower the prices again. Because why would they when people are willing to pay more?

I keep seeing one of these up at the thrift store. I wish it had VGA on it!!

So we did those mischief galleries and even though they're tons of pages of stuff we couldn't even HOPE to find all of the references...

It’s a 55in 1080p display. https://support.vizio.com/s/article/M501d-A2R-Model-Information?language=en_US

It’s called Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. It’s based on Record of Lodoss Wars. It takes a lot of cues from SOTN.

Had this old Vizio LCD in my basement so I tested it out. The panel is low enough resolution that I'm in love with the aperture grill look of it. I wonder if we'll eventually have more nostalgia for the look of older LCDs like we do for CRTs...

Funny they made him nicer, but the sky edits are definitely so you can read the logo better. The bane of soooo many covers I've designed. I guess they also felt they would've have to shrink it too much if they didn't change the pencil angle, so they tried to make the composition fit the DS better.

Spongebob got the reverse Kirby treatment.

Going to save everyone the trouble. BUY THIS ONE. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. THIS ONE. BUY IT. IT'S NONSENSE BUT WILL BE BETTER THAN WTF IS COMING OUT. BUY IT.

Bandai owns it.

Panorama Cotton: Flying high As much as I love fresh digital releases of very old games played through a competent emulator packed with every modern convenience I can think of, there’s just something special about seeing…

A flawless re-release of an old shmup that actually lives up to the hype, "...the perfect marriage of technical skill and awe-inspiring flair":

Glad they finally did this, but sad that's already sold out...
