new american football album art looks like the kinda shit that's gonna hit your favorite quirked-up white boys like black tar heroin

I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution

the instant i finished that game i wasnt sure if i believed them that they could finish the arc in one more game

I had another dream This one was about the existence of a show on HGTV named Bitch House. The host was a man who appeared to have been a werewolf college student dragged off some Florida beach during spring break, poured into a suit, and shoved in front of a camera. He wore giant sunglasses every episode. There was no explanation. Every episode was the same. He would show up and tour somebody's house while they talked it up: how much they paid for it, square footage, time to the highway, backyard, last renovated in xxxx, bedrooms, bathrooms, home office, new roof, everything. They would be touring the house the whole time, just like any normal HGTV show. Then they would gather back out in front of the house and there was a really tense moment where he would tell you if your house was a bitch house or not. It not, he would just kinda shake their hands and thank them for the tour and walk away. Otherwise, he would turn to the camera and scream "BITCH HOOOOOOOOUSE" at the top of his lung

This is approximately what it Looked Like, in 10-minute photoshop format HGTV courtesy(?) of the party rock anthem guy (plz don't sue me)

The clap before he winds up is incredible

"... where, anytime, and interact with crafts and characters all over each of fifty planets, for as long as I wanted After rescuing my allotment of pods I can survey the world, taking out remaining enemies, playing with different viewpoints and examining structures. Each level is a different type of rescue mission requiring a completely new strategy than the last. Some moons are totally hostile while others require intense exploration and passive gameplay. I played for 3 hours to complete the first eight moons, then suprisingly met a boss on the ninth. At that point (I'm used to 16 bit games) I figured it was over. But I was wrong. Eight more appeared that required massive study to conquer. Then, after another twelve hours of engulfing gameplay, I reached the end once again, fought two huge gunships and figured, for sure, that was it. Again, I was wrong. Eight more planets appeared that I am still, two days later, studying."

It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident.

In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot

The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

rivers's Review of 'OCTANE' by Don Toliver unfortunately a pretty major downgrade from "HARDSTONE PSYCHO". i don't really think anything here is gonna stick with me. {fav track: Gemstone} {least fav track: Tuition} have a great day!

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

i guess the right is also that but i think blue belt on white pants looks nicer

middle methinks. the white into the blue into the white again works the best i think

person very clearly struggling in a tetris-like game asking a chatroom "are you not supposed to match the colors? wtf is going on here" with a screenshot where they are trying to match the colors by putting all the like tetriminos together

good reminder that there is always a first time someone encounters something in their life and when it happens it is not about personal intelligence or ability but just access, pure happenstance, and the entropy of the universe

have you ever been to culvers
