A bullshit urban legend would have you believe that Golden Axe’s voice samples come from death row inmates. In reality, two come from Conan the Barbarian and two from Rambo: First Blood.

I want to find the rest!

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

A fierce expression pixel face

Florina's amiable expression

Dorcas's stern expression

Sain's smug looking cheeky expression

Picked up our first playthrough of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade for GBA, and once again charmed by the pixel art and how much character the little pixelized faces convey.💜

No matter what happens at work, so long as you've got Crash and Parappa (who were often presented together in Japan!), everything will be okay.

The growing North American anime fandom was getting mainstream media attention by the mid-90s, with the Sci-fi Channel heading to Anaheim to ask a question: why are y'all so fascinated with Japanese animation and comic books?

A neat peek at Anime Expo in 1994.

The Computer Chronicles is a rich resource for demonstrations of tech developments and showcases from the early 80s onward.

Here in 2001, in an episode devoted to wireless devices and tech, the ultimately unsuccessful but stylish IBM ThinkPad TransNote gets some time in the spotlight.

I’m glad so many people are enjoying Apothecary Diaries, and it’s generating more interest in dynastic China and stories about female physicians. There was a time when anime was the nearest thing to Chinese cultures getting any rep in popular entertainment. Now, we've got some amazing Cdrama. 1/

MSX Magazine 12 Dec 1987, which has a pixel art rendition of an onion-headed guy with a goatee (think Parappa the Rapper!) chilling with a book by a TV, a tree, and a strange steampunk bulb light.

This cover for MSX 9 Sep 1987 with a cool duck sporting shaders driving a small call on a beach and holding up a red phone.

A watermelon whale beneath exploding fireworks graces MSX 9 Sep 1986.

On the cover of MSX Magazine for the 5th of May 1987 has an old flying boat named the Luna Clipper is docked at a bay where a beret-wearing snowman chills with a glass against the side of a building

The wonderfully surreal world of MSX Magazine covers.

This series of covers was taken from a movie made on MSX2 (it could be quite a capable video production machine) called The Flying Luna Clipper, which I'll link below.

Ubisoft Brasil's marketing team deserves an award, they evoked our passion for tokusatsus to make this fantastic ad for the game: youtu.be/89bztUO2JuE?...

painting of a little Christmas tree covered in big yellow lights outside at dusk, sitting behind what looks like a hotel pool, which is in the foreground of the image. tree is almost centered and reflected in the pool, which darkens from blue to almost inky black as it reaches the edge of the painting. behind the tree is a green railing with three palm tree silhouettes reaching up into a pinky-blue sky, and then the sea or the ocean is behind that. the backdrop is a city skyline, reflected in the sea.

in the foreground of the painting is a Christmas tree on top of a blue building, covered in bright yellow lights, surrounded by a short peachy-pink wall. to the tree's right are brightly lit yellow windows. behind the tree is the city: black with tall skyscrapers lit up with tiny yellow squares and streets comprised of round yellow lights. behind that is a blue grid of lights, and a thin blue line that might be the sea. the sky is a gradient of pink to blue as it reaches the top of the painting.

I'm so happy to finally have a computer powerful enough to capture footage. Now I can share things like this ritual scene from 2017's Faith of Danschant.

In the future I want to make a video showcasing these non-English RPGs that people never heard about.

Planescape Torment: Never meet other people’s heroes [Content warning: This article cites misogynistic dialogue in several places and also refers to in-game scenes of relationship-related abuse.] I’ve had my eye on this RPG for a long time now,…

Not the sort of torment I was expecting, really.

"I’m convinced there must be some other game called Planescape: Torment out there, because the game I cleared was one of the most misogynistic wastes of time I’ve ever experienced."

Chinese RPGs introduced me to Hmong people and how they have some of the coolest clothing & hats ever.

On one hand I would love for more games to let me interact with a broader range of cultures... on the other, it would feel dirty to see EA or Ubisoft making money out of their cultural heritage :/

Still figuring Blue Sky out, but let's start with some screenshots of 太極張三豐/ The Tai Chi Master, a 2000 RPG by 厦门火凤凰公司!

It tells the same story as the 1993 movie with Jet Li & Michelle Yeoh, where martial artists fight against the Mongol invasion of China. Great art, with some weird JoJo vibes lol

The game magazine that spent two years taunting a Final Fantasy VIII hater I'm unsure how popular GameNOW magazine was, but over the course of two years, they pulled off one of the weirdest running gags I've seen in a game magazine, just to have fun at the expense of an irat...

I hate to be one of those bait and switch "wait til you get to the last image" kind of people but it's worth it for this story about GameNOW trolling one of their readers with a Final Fantasy 8 screenshot. ff8isthe.best/2024/02/the-...
