Free Anki decks that are just the 2000 most frequent words stays winning.

yeah when I played the demo at Best Buy realizing that I couldn't play plant-and-aim style caused me to disengage a good bit v_v

the thing that is so captivating about this stuff is not the actual particulars of the Lore or Worldbuilding, it's their presence at all

lol

「しかし　ギャラクティック・ノヴァには狙いがあった。」

Some of the original pixel design drawings for the sprites in Cheyenne - the precursor to what would become Xevious

YEAR: 3333 - SHADOW LABYRINTH - 3210, The New Space Order War concluded with Operation Ragnarok, but simultaneously, Operation Cheyenne was carried out on a frontier planet in the galaxy, which ended in failure. 3300, a subsequent operation, Operation Panzer, was conducted on the same planet, but it also failed. Then, in 3333, "PUCK," taking the form of a PAC-type support droid, and a "SwordMan" summoned to this universe by DWD, uncover the shadow of this universe.

[reading about Xevious] operation......cheyenne..........................what the fuck

[looks at the Warner Bros. thing] see Shadow Labyrinth is essentially an extended elegy for the slow-rolling death of foregrounded creativity in corporate gamemaking

Two of the funniest lines I’ve seen in a game all year

my shadow labyrinth collector's edition finally arrived. the artwork in the "adventurer's log" is very nice :)

Man from the 1970s: “I can’t find the Metroid!”

worst of the year

(I think you can make credible arguments for Monhun Wilds, Shinobi, Mario Kart World, and Ninja Gaiden 4, and maybe I will at some point)

the woty competition this year is tough. I can think of four plausible candidates

a.co/d/5nA8z0z yup

Christ it’s been such a long wait even the back of the box says “FINALLY”

New Tom and Jerry set is absolutely stunning

thank you chris. this coverage has been baffling

after reading this this is the feeling I am left with

Rihoko in Amagami, blushing inside the school gym's storage room as your character is presented with the following three dialogue choices: -You're so cute, Rihoko! -You're so cute, Rihoko!! (two exclamation points) -You're so cute, Rihoko!!! (three exclamation points) I don't recall whether it ever made it into the anime adaptation back in the day, but it's one of the most iconic scenes among game fans in Japan by far and for a damn good reason.

amazing to think people are still arrogant enough to even attempt to write new dating sim dialogue in this day and age when the perfect material already dropped back in 2009 on the ps2

(That video is SpidersSTG’s Shinobi review, which is a little cringey and overzealous at times but I think is hitting on a crucial point about the game and about games in 2025)

Saw this in a video critical of Shinobi and it has been ricocheting through my brain ever since: the narrative in this year of video games is “progress” as a poisoned chalice I think

the problem is Shadow Labyrinth is the most interesting video game in years and Kirby Air Riders is the best feeling video game/best video game Nintendo has published in years

sigh I think I'm talking myself into Shadow Labyrinth over Kirby Air Riders

admiring how much this official render of GAIA resembles the 3D rendering style of Starblade or Galaxian 3

i will buy so many acrylics of thebe you have no idea
