That’s better best forgotten

Mine couldn’t count past 5,6,7,8 so I had to return it.

Oh you just know that there’d be a handy Omochao tutorial right there if it was made today! 😁

Slightly diminish a band:

Mild Anger Against the Machine

this guy is clearly in on the joke

Gamers, what does this item mean to you?

(Apologies if I’ve dredged up bad memories! 😅)

I’m pretty early on in the story but I’m enjoying the atmosphere and the stealth mechanics a lot - it almost reminds me of Metal Gear Solid, not the kind of stealth I was expecting from Ubisoft; I’d pictured something more like Assassin’s Creed.

Sleek, shiny, and now you'll be able to see Metroid Fusion in all its glory without fighting the sun or pointing wormlights at the screen: the Game Boy Advance SP.

Released first with a frontlit screen before a hardware revision (AGS-101) upgraded it two years later to a full backlit one.

Ah yes! I played that once, I remember it being billed as an epic hack & slash adventure game but actually being more of an RTS?

Ehh? How did that work, some kind of quirk of licensing (maybe because they came on cassette tapes?)

Cyber Obligations

The splash screen for Exile: Escape from the Pit with a rocky landscape with a lens flare and trees visible beneath a cloudy blue sky.

My favourite of the two images, a molten-looking rocky hill reflected in a pool of water, all with that particular early CGI look that manages to transcend into being an art piece rather than janky

The ethereal beauty of 90s raytraced landscapes, born of software such as Impulse's Imagine.

Ahh, Moonwalker’s a classic! It’s based on the short film, which I still haven’t sat and watched properly. Might have to bring that forward…

Alliteration be damned, it’s #MegaDriveTuesday and here’s Crüe Ball: a pinball game based on the music of Mötley Crüe!

Games based on rock bands were something of a novelty; also on Mega Drive (and many other systems) was Revolution X, starting Aerosmith. Can you think of any others?

#RetroGaming

Somewhat improbably, received a tie-in party game for the Nintendo Wii and DS some time around 2006… 😅

Good job!

I wonder if “appearing in alphabetical order” is a joke… 🙂

It mattered way more to them in the 2010s, before the resurgence of “retro style” games, where there was an almost linear progression in 3D polygonal graphics and that represented what a “new game” should look like. Nowadays games can be anything and everyone’s so much better off for it.

But they’re comfy and easy to wear!

Shorts at least…? 😅

Thanks sweetie 💜

From the right angle 😉

“What’s a Sonic the Hedgehog? I know, I’ll just draw a Christmas tree with a face” 😛

It’s really impressive, I need to give it a try myself - have only seen videos of it in action.

It’s a stripy socks kind of day!

(More importantly it’s a skirt kind of day because I think I’d be boiling otherwise 😅)

Ohh gosh, I forgot this was releasing today! I loved the trailers they put out a while back. It's a sweet dungeonpunk premise of televised adventuring in five minute episodes.

This is absolutely adorable! Live news broadcasts from dungeons, using magic to light the scene... such a clever idea!

Yeah, I can't help but think that this organisation's finance team are half to blame here too, for letting her get away with wild expenses without catching it for so long.

Was going to be Mamma Mia 😅

More importantly it was a free community event so I figured I'd pop along! But apparently they had problems with the event licence or something.

Fab indeed, lovely shade! Is it more ed or gold as it hits the light?

I was going to an outdoor cinema event this afternoon but it’s been cancelled! 😔

That was about how I felt too. A decent enough attempt to copy the originals’ style, still funny but nowhere near as good. I did enjoy it though.
