Edited screenshot from Disco Elysium that reads: RHETORIC [Heroic: Failure] -- Alright, here we go. We're devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about video games. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question about video games, the alpha and omega of video games questions, and that question is: 1. - (Whisper.) "Are games art?" 2. - Oh god, that's bad. Surely I can think of something better.

Every time.

You: wants sleek, modern UIs

Me: Wants a big honkin' dragon sitting on the menu for no particular reason.

Vinny from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads "Everything that guy said is bullshit"

The Judge from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads: "Are you on drugs?"

Mr. Tipton from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads: "I don't know, I'm a fast cook, I guess."

Mona Lisa from "My Cousin Vinny" in Ace Attorney style. Dialog reads: "A little? You've been thrown in jail twice!"

Had to finally release this from my head

what a thrill

When I bought my big box Dagger of Amon Ra off eBay, there was a photocopy of Sierra's internal walkthrough (used by customer support) inside. Finally got around to scanning it today. Haven't seen this posted anywhere online before. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eqvuk...

A screenshot from Space Quest 4. The text reads: "To my brothers on a mission with no permission...an inspirational name drop to Public Enemy: Chuck, Flav, and X. Nothin' fake, just that raw, hardcore shit.

This might be my favorite Space Quest Easter egg.

“Games actually used to cost more when you account for inflation”

Hmmm yes, good point. But have you considered that Demolition Man for the 3DO features brand new FMV starring Sylvester Stallone while no Switch 2 games do?

The loss of access to old Looney Tunes cartoons is a tragedy for culture. How else are kids going to find out about Peter Lorre

a variety of grim fandango sketches. one of glottis standing scratching his head, one of him playing a too-small-for-him piano, and two headshots: one of him pogging and one of him looking upwards with his ears twitching. there are also three drawings of manuel calavera. one of just his head, one of him lounging with special focus drawn to his big butt, and one with him wearing a shirt that says "BONE MACHINE", except defaced by domino by sharpie-ing an R at the end of BONE. manny has a text bubble that says "pinche domino".

finished grim fandango on friday. you can probably guess who my favorite was

an edited PS1 game cover, based around Elemental Gearbolt. 'Playstation' on the side has been replaced by 'Kangaroo', and the ESRB rating is now "YOU HEAR ABOUT VIDEO GAMES" with "AEIOU" underneath. on the box art is "SPACETWINKS REC THREAD" with a black silhouette of my fursona, a kangaroo, in the middle, and japanese text above it that says "I don't speak Japanese. Sorry." behind this is doris from wild guns reloaded, tama from 428 shibuya scramble, the ILLEGAL CONTENT banner from hypnospace outlaw, a crab wielding a hammer from fight crab, and an actual forklift. at the bottom right is the working designs logo, but it says "HONEY IT'S TIME FOR YOUR 3PM LUNAR RE-RELEASE"

you already know what's up

(steam sale rec thread is what's up)

as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help.

so, onwards!

World of warcraft Outland orc saying 'work is da poop! NO MORE!'

This daily WoW quest planted the seeds of leftist ideology in my young mind. For what is the liberation of the workers but all of us standing together and stating plainly and clearly "Work is da poop. No more."

PC Gamer, April 2010

In honor of the VGHF Library going live, my favorite cover for any game I've ever worked on. PC Gamer, April 2010.

Not because the art is so great (that award goes to the Bioshock GI reveal cover) but because the art has a giant sticker slapped on it that reads, RICKETS: THE GAMER PLAGUE.

an insert from nintendo's GIRL GAMER telling viewers they can win a ds with a copy of Space Chimps

vghf archive has the goods

A hard drive labeled "BAD" in sharpie

The hard drive has "BAD" scribbled out

A sharpie writing "bitcoins" on a hard drive

The same hard drive thrown into the trash

Remember to spread a little joy, even if it will be fleeting
