My studio inserted Easter Egg credit sequences into our mobile releases because our parent company didn't allow them as much as I fought for it. I "wasn't aware" they existed in our games

I'm guessing (hoping?) there was some discussion beforehand rather than someone just showing up with this collection to trade in

I had zero awareness of this movie but 3PO on Chewie's back vibes has me interested enough to watch. That and of course Mike, e, and Danny vouches

A photograph of the last page of Merry Shelly's Frankenstein. The printed text, page 206, reads "He sprang from the cabin window as he said this, upon the ice raft which lay close to the vessel. He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance"

In pen someone has added: As he drifted away I could just make out his final words.

"It's okay if you just call me 'Frankenstien' instead of 'Frankenstien's Monster', I really don't mind."

The End

My partner got me into it and they were playing before there were conveyor lifts. The quality of life improvements to the game over time have been incredible and it's one of the best gaming dollars I've ever spent

I don't have time to workshop it but some variation of Homer in the lesbian bar but it's "This Ferengi bar doesn't have any fe-males in it!" That plus the weird hand-wavy first Ferengi TNG appearance

I paid $400 for an external HDD that was $250 2 months ago. It's grim but the only positive outcome here is a focus on right to repair and less planned obsolescence? Picturing myself harvesting bga RAM modules over a flaming barrel while eating rat burgers with Dennis Leary

For real though, don't take any personal device you aren't comfortable losing. I know a company that put epoxy in any open USB ports
