If you kept that brand new copy of FF V Advance sealed, or even just the box & manual …

Is this the “actual” one that went viral last fall? I assume it has no console port? There’s a bunch of fake ones on PSN with tons of negative reviews, but I can never find the “original” game.

twenty five years ago today, on September 25, 2000, the United States men's basketball team was playing France in the Sydney Olympics

with sixteen minutes left in the second half and the USA up 69-54, Vince Carter stole the ball

between him and the rim was 7'2" Frederic Weis

then he did this

If the Detroit Tigers miss the playoffs after leading the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins by 14 games and Cleveland Guardians by 15 1/2 on July 8 – it would be the biggest advantage blown by a team that did not win its division or league in modern AL/NL history 👀

@alexnavarro.bsky.social Here’s the dubbed RGG Direct to watch before the podcast tomorrow. :)

I don’t even have all my ***x physicals yet, & now I have to rebuy 4 of them as of now to get English dubs. I’m betting 4-6 get the same treatment eventually.

So, a bit of an announcement: I'm retiring. My last day at IGN will be Oct 1; after that I'll be a full-time dad for a bit while my kids are of an age where they'll think spending time with me is cool rather than lame. It's been a huge honor and privilege to run reviews here for the past 12.5 years.

@grubb.wtf Saw yesterday’s video about the Bubsy 3D part of the collection, but what else did they fix on the other games?

Wondering about buying the physical collection on XBox from Limited Run just b/c of how low the print run will be.

10 years ago today, at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, Bayley and Sasha Banks had one of the best women's matches of all time.

A CLASSIC

JUST IN: Crowd LOUDLY BOOS Trump at WWE SummerSlam

via @jasonselvig.bsky.social

Musk has admitted that he and Trump plan to collapse the U.S. economy completely and that if Trump wins, USians should prepare for hardship. The plan requires millions to sink into poverty, food insecurity, and be preyed upon by organized crime, addiction, and corporations.

Just a reminder that Donald Trump, Musk, and their regressive inner circle have been plotting to engineer a Great Depression for years now. When you have trouble affording rent, food, or your local economy starts to collapse, remember, someone did this on purpose to you. #3E

total mentions on Fox Business so far today

Obama: 53
Epstein: 1

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

This last minute freeze of funds will cripple summer classes and camps scheduled to begin soon, leaving poor working parents without options. Shameful. Illegal. Wrong.

Vaccine Shortages. Viral Outbreaks. Widespread Illness. More Death. This could be America’s future if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues his rampage against public health—and it may arrive much sooner than you think.

“It’s hard to know how this is all going to play out. But right now, everything appears very dark... I don’t see a turnaround at this point. We’re still in free fall as far as I’m concerned.” ~ @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social

Star Wars actor Kenneth Colley, 87, passes away after catching Covid The actor is best known for starring in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as Admiral Piett, an imperial officer in command of Darth Vader's flagship.

Broken arm➡️ hospital➡️ covid➡️ pneumonia➡️ death. When I was a child I remember seniors (born 1900-1930) reluctant to go to hospital because “that’s where you get sick and die.” That’s what it was like for them growing up. It’s like that again.

$600 TCGPlayer Low

Same, but have to keep the parental units entertained & not talk about President Orange, so watched the STL fireworks streamed on @ksdknews.bsky.social YT, but whomever was director was doing a terrible job both in camera cuts & camera placement.

Who’s producing the @ksdknews.bsky.social stream of the STL fireworks, Kevin Dunn?! Constant camera cuts & cameras being too far zoomed in or out with bad angles constantly.

All the people glorifying the “glory days” of PS360 over the two generations since have not gone back & tried to redownload & reinstall their digital PS3 library to a replacement system & it shows.

I’m hoping the physical XBox copy of Yakuza Zero from Limited Run is getting the Director’s Cut added to it; it was delayed to a September ship date while Kiwami 1 is shipping now.

If it’s DLC I’ll buy it to get the English dub but hopefully it’s just included on the physical copy.

I’m sure I’ve posted photos of this before but it’s been awhile and I just dug it out again, so here’s a Sega Dreamcast autographed by John Carmack that I won at QuakeCon.

Great job by the Racers to keep this 1-0 through 6. Also nice having a good ump behind the plate today.

7 years ago today. The Elite vs New Day happened.
