fan art of Sonic the Hedgehog. he's in green hill zone, bouncing off a spring to excitedly grab some rings, while a spike snail stands nearby. the fan art is accompanied by a caption that says "WHAT A STUNNER One of the best drawings yet received by us lot at MEAN MACHINES was sent in by the very talented Matt Lyon of Basingstoke, Hants. His stunning picture of Sonic the Hedgehog is a real eye-catcher. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots more stuff from this guy in the future - keep your eyes peeled."

shout out to this fucking rad bit of Sonic fan-art by Matt Lyon, adorning the pages of Mean Machines issue 10 (July of 1991, making this one of the earliest known pieces of Sonic fan-art)

A bunch of pictures I took from the 1947 stop-motion adaptation of the Tintin book Crab with the Golden Claws (by Claude Misonne)

Clever Case Placement in the Ace Attorney anime - cartoon milk Finally watching a show that never interested me, and finding something to appreciate about it.

Hullo howdy, I posted a blog today talking about the Ace Attorney anime. It mainly digs into how the show took a very game-specific thing and made it work in the context of a TV programme. I hope it'll be interesting to read: cartoonmilk.com/ace-attorney...

Also, I only just realized this is my 90th published review for the site. That's crazy, and considering how busy I've been working on other articles for them, it won't be a long road to 100...

Howdy folks, it's been a while! One of my @hg101.bsky.social articles got posted on the site today, looking at the solid point-and-click adventure revival Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse by @revolutionsoftware.bsky.social! It's pretty good! www.hardcoregaming101.net/broken-sword...

Three Mini-Reviews of Cartoon Films - cartoon milk Sometime in the last few weeks, I decided to create a Letterboxd list of all the feature-length films I’ve seen so far in the year of arlord 2025, and even rank them for the hell of it. Although I hav...

oh my giddy aunt i've done it. i've written a blog about animation for the first time in months, and put it on the internet!!!

i talk about a trio of cool animated films that i've seen this year in a casual manner, i hope this is a fun chill article to read! : ) cartoonmilk.com/three-mini-r...

@fabraz.bsky.social hullo, just wanted to ask a daft question about Bubsy 4D. Will there be an option to manually change the colours for his shirt and tie? (Not counting the options for different shirt patterns in the costume menu)

I really dig the new design & I'm looking forward to playing it : )

Kinda thinking I might step back from blusky, unless I got something of mine I wanna promote.

Lot of stuff be going on, and even as I mute loads of words, I still catch glimpses of stuff I can't do anything about and only serves to unsettle me.

So I think distance might be good for me.

We never get around to posting any western RPGs, well this snow saturday we finally did it. Here we have the western RPG Wild Arms which features falling snow in the outside areas of Mount Zenom. Wild Arms (Playstation, 1996)

oh cock i'm a bit late with this. lotta animal comedy cartoons this week, with the excellent T&J Trap Happy and the very rubbish Mansion Cat. glad that FIXED got to come out, even if i didn't jive with it all that much, and Technological Threat's a good time.

Started Lufia II last night and, man, what a good game. I really love the combo of Zelda-esque puzzle dungeons and more typical console RPG combat and world exploration. On-map enemies that move when you move and don't appear too frequently is great for keeping encounter fatigue at bay, too.

Business.....

Cats defeated my wall.

Had to cut stream early due to cats pulling down the barrier I had put up to keep them out of the 240p setup :(

Boosting this in hopes that somebody can help my boy @shoogles.bsky.social!

Why does this short cut-away joke in King of the Hill have such a beautiful little song under it?

The episode was scored by Chuck Mangione, who was (RIP) quite famously a trumpet player. Did he also compose this sweet little electric piano tune?

Otacon happily asks Snake via codec call "Hey Snake, are you planning on getting an Xbox 360?"

A confused Snake replies "An Xbox 360? What's that?"

Otacon's smile drops as he mutters "...You don't know?"

The realization dawns on Otacon, who screams in anguish "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT AN XBOX 360 IS?!?!"

Metal Gear Solid if it really took place in 2005

I just realized that Quake is the Wario Land of first-person shooters. All the games "generally" play the same, but they have such different tonal and structural priorities that each one scratches a super specific itch.
