A 1990's-style video game ad for my Suikoden 1 & 2 book from Boss Fight Books. It features a mockup of the book cover over a red and black map, surrounded by screenshots and logos. The words "Coming 2026" blaze above in fiery letters.

PHOTO NEGATIVE: Space Harrier and the Return to Lost Negative Worlds
YouTube video by Retrograde Amnesia PHOTO NEGATIVE: Space Harrier and the Return to Lost Negative Worlds

Our first full video INFINITE PERFECT production covers the intersection between the bizarro world of film negatives and the fantasy zone of Space Harrier. It's a wild ride.

When you do everything you can to hide the fact that your game is about beating the shit out of ghosts and bears but your game is about beating the shit out of ghosts and bears.

Kendo Rage (1993) // SNES

The decision to localize a game about a magical girl who has to use a kendo stick to save the world from pollution and evildoers was a choice, man.

I thought I knew a lot about the Super Nintendo, but then I accidentally discovered Shien's Revenge (1994) and a new path lays before me.

What the hell were we doing in the 90s? Is this why we're on the verge of autocracy?

Spent some time capturing footage of 32X games while watching sports. It's rough out there. Cosmic Carnage might be the clunkiest 2D-fighter I've ever played, but it does look have a nice look with big, chunky sprites absolutely bonkers character designs.

Glad I discovered that @markennis.bsky.social is on bluesky. Have spent the better part of two football seasons googling "mark ennis twitter" to get his thoughts on Louisville football games since I deleted my twitter account.

Followed too many college basketball accounts and now I feel like I did when I used to follow college basketball too closely (bad).

there's something about metal gear when it comes to storytelling and characters... they scratch all the same itches but i cannot explain why or how!

In an age when social media is falling apart but nobody blogs anymore, it feels gleefully irresponsible to run a website where I just post things like this ff8isthe.best/2024/02/i-ma...

after some deep soul searching, i am deeply saddened that we only spoke about the toyota echo for one (1) episode of our 44 podcast episode exploration of FF8

you'll sound great but it'll pick up everything. so if you sound echoey you may want to treat the area with some curtains or something
