Hop in dude.

You had the money, the power, and the fame. Where did it all go wrong? Why couldn't those sniveling little city dwellers see that you were meant to lead them? You're now a twice certified loser from a family of winners. Your father's name is on a bridge. Your name is next to a Wikipedia entry that says "sexual harassment allegations."

[3D Realms co-owner George Broussard] simply couldn't tolerate the idea of Duke Nukem Forever coming out with anything other than the latest and greatest technology and awe-inspiring gameplay. He didn't just want it to be good. It had to surpass every other game that had ever existed, the same way the original Duke Nukem 3D had. But because the technology kept getting better, Broussard was on a treadmill. He'd see a new game with a flashy graphics technique and demand the effect be incorporated into Duke Nukem Forever. "One day George started pushing for snow levels," recalls a developer who worked on Duke Nukem Forever for several years starting in 2000. Why? "He had seen The Thing" — a new game based on the horror movie of the same name, set in the snowbound Antarctic — "and he wanted it." The staff developed a running joke: If a new title comes out, don't let George see it. When the influential shoot-'em-up Half-Life debuted in 1998, it opened with a famously interactive narrative sequence in which the player begins his workday in a laboratory, overhearing a coworker's conversation that slowly sets a mood of dread. The day after Broussard played it, an employee told me, the cofounder walked into the office saying, "Oh my God, we have to have that in Duke Nukem Forever." https://www.wired.com/2009/12/fail-duke-nukem/

I will legitimately never forget the "don't let George see it" anecdotes from the Duke Nukem Forever postmortem

'creative director played a new game in the weekend and wants to pivot' has probably cost the games industry around 50 trillion dollars over the past decade

oh no

Since it's the spooky season again, I have to share this art of Vampire G'raha I did a few years back 😇

Oh, it's PS2 North America's launch anniversary

It could have been, but the biggest barrier (among others) to that is the core gameplay is really, really awful. A worse combat system than even the original's and not really any alternative other than combat. Dishonored even at its worst runs rings around it

I'm sure none of you actually needed me to tell you this to know it, but after finishing Bloodlines 2; yep, that wasn't very good

Bungo Stray Dogs the Movie: BEAST (2022)

I like that this 2022 movie has a shot that passes for a screenshot from a mid-90s FMV adventure game.

this looks like counter strike

Sega Rally 2 is a good game

French street fighter commentators be like "Et l'shimmy! C'est merveilleux"

Will they let me say "rest in piss" on here about A Certain Occurrence today

Hope that sale doesn't go through (it probably will) 'cause that happening after waiting 15 years for this is some real monkey's paw shit. Guess we still have until June to see how that goes

Some switch shit at Fake Pier 7

Really hope the replay editor gets up to par with previous games soon. Even better if it'd be on par with Session's because its is easily the best in any skating game (if not any game outright) and really should be the new benchmark

And here's some of the R35 that took me through the last stages and endgame. Went for a more sparse visual that looked a little menacing, I think I got that

Tokyo Xtreme Racer (2025). Rival stats screen displaying 457/457 completed profiles.

I no-lifed it already obviously (nothing spoiling new content)

Some photo mode shots of this lad in 1.0.

Full release fuckin rules btw

If you don't have it yet you should pick it up now in case they try to do a shitter move and have the free/cheap editions pulled to juice the remaster's numbers later.
