Just finished The Excavation of Hob's Barrow last night - fantastic, loved it. Curious how you liked it. I had a couple of these (M.R James, Algernon Blackwood) on hold at the library and just added The Great God Pan on hold as well - thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah! Just subscribed. And ordered my destroy AI shirt of course. Love what you all are doing over there.

Gorgeous Andrew. The lighting in that 4th one is sublime.

Love it. Going to pick one of these up.

YouTube video by John Digweed Marc Romboy x Rafael Cerato x Saints & Sinners - Pushin Again

@bbh74.bsky.social ID'd. it was indeed a remix after all! marc romboy x rafael cerato x saints & sinners - pushin’ again. sounded more like the original in the beginning!

youtu.be/9YocT6Ce08U?...

Every damn time I see this thing. Awful.

Club-Mate

It was the original! He didn't play quite the whole thing, started cutting it with an unknown ID right at the end. But it was bliss while it lasted.

Right, I thought so too. Saw Digweed in Seattle on Friday - mostly new stuff but he closed with Saints & Sinners - Pushing Too Hard. A treat to hear live! Lost my mind.

You might be surprised! They've been dropping classics in some of their recent sets...lately I've heard Faithless - Insomnia, FSOL - Papua New Guinea, Orbital - Halcyon and On and On, and Saints & Sinners - Pushing Too Hard. Going to see Digweed this weekend and hoping he does something like that.

I've struggled to articulate my response to this and you nailed it. This is going to be my mental tagline for this administration.

Can't wait

Wait what? Animal craft cheat? All these years later I had no idea!

thanks! i was just struggling through it!

Arx Fatalis? Immersive sim/Deus Ex-like but dungeons.

yo! i just found the liner notes in my garage in December after they'd gone missing for years. i'm pretty sure i picked it up back in the day mainly for the tDR design, love it. now to find the actual CDs...

what emulator settings did you clean this up with? looks sharp. any mods/textures?

still playing my ps4 honestly. holding off on ps5...first time i haven't purchased a sony console since 1995.

always upvote father ted

Great writeup! What memories. I forgot about printing these things...loved seeing all the ASCII art people would come up with (and to see individualized art per FAQ). I'm always a little sad to look for FAQs on modern games and see nothing there.

sold a lot of Expansion Paks!

+1 for unexpected Macbeth

Appreciate you calling it out and pushing back. A voice of sanity in a sea of madness.

I haven't thought about this in years. I remember seeing the first screenshots and thinking this was going to be THE game for the PS2. Total letdown, complete hype.

Then a few years later there was the Killzone 2 E3 trailer...though that actually ended up being a decent game.

these warning screens always made my heart rate go up a bit as as kid

Masters of Teras Kasi or Jedi Power Battles. I should've known better on both. Open-mouthed speechlessness at how bad they were.

@nerdsoflegend.bsky.social You're not wrong. Crushing disappointment after the tanker section and all tech demo hype (glass, ice, shadows, rain, etc). Felt like a parody of MGS1. Loved MGS1 to bits. Now that you mention it...4 felt like pure fanservice (too much?), and 5 was A+ gameplay but F- plot.

no way! Thanks Ryan! checking that out now.

Good to see you here Andrew! Just joined myself, glad to continue following you here. Lovely pictures as always.

just jumped over today! glad you're here!
