You were not kidding. That second verse is jaw-dropping!

Which game?!

Lots of wonderful picks here, but Sim City 3000 in particular stands out. One of the greatest soundtracks of all-time!

That movie is so good. I wish it was talked about more frequently.

This was an incredible watch! Looking forward to the blu-ray!

It's oft-mentioned in discussions like this, but Akira. It is eternally cool.

I'm sorry to hear this, and I'm hoping it turns up at a con soon.

Including @mega64official.bsky.social in this collection is amazing!

Loved seeing G2 looking so happy. Well deserved!

Fantastic selections. gyrofield in particular is wonderful. Always so forward-thinking!

I knew this would be great, but I wasn't prepared for just HOW great. Impeccable designs throughout.

Couldn't agree more. The gentle soundscapes in the transitions between the layers are my favorite.

All your recent posts in this vein have been great, but this one is especially amazing.

I'm an avid physical media user and this bothers me to no end.

Might end up being the rarest diamond coin ever at this rate.

PCC doesn't know just how good their Music and Sonic Arts program really is. The price-to-performance ratio is probably the best in the entire country. And -- as you said -- the faculty they brought in were not just amazing instructors, but life-changing role models.

Great episode! This is one of my favorite anime films. I need to read the manga someday.

G1 Transformers back-of-the-box mural by David Schleinkofer. It shows multiple Transformers characters (most prominently Optimus Prime and Starscream) battling in deep space.

SimCity 2000 box art by David Schleinkofer. A UFO hovers over a large city.

I'm saddened to learn that we lost David Schleinkofer earlier this week. He created lots of incredible sci-fi artwork, including the box art for SimCity 2000 and one of the most incredible pieces of Transformers art that many 80's kids still have seared into their brains.

This is the best video you've made about the Switch 2 so far! I'd love a follow-up where you discuss what you two would do to manage the crisis.

YouTube's war on ad blockers continues, now making ads truly unskippable Ad-blocking users don't seem to see ads, but they can't skip them either.

Still sounds fresh today!

Remembering Viktor Antonov, Beloved Artist Behind Half-Life 2 And Dishonored Marc Laidlaw, Harvey Smith, Raphaël Colantonio and others remember a lost friend

It was announced last week that artist Viktor Antonov had died, and it was clear people had a lot of love for him. So I reached out to some former colleagues, like Marc Laidlaw, Harvey Smith, Laura Dubuk and Raphaël Colantonio, who all wrote wonderful tributes.

Half-Life 2

Viktor Antonov
1972-2025

Really insightful series of posts. I'm increasingly drawn to music that exhibits these characteristics as well. It differentiates the art from its contemporaries immediately.

And also City of Heroes is still the best MMO ever made.

The third game is the most divisive of the three, but it's certainly just as enjoyable -- especially now that it can be found at discounts during Steam sales and the like.

@worldofcrap.bsky.social Hi Justin! To your knowledge, did Central Park Media ever make shirts for Now and Then, Here and There? I'm just now watching it and would like to track down official merch to rep it. Thanks!
