On the subject of GTA 3, I've been playing the definitive edition. I know it was poorly received on launch, and I don't know if it has improved since then, but I'd recommend playing it on PS2 or Xbox every time.

There's a haziness on PS2 that just adds to the charm in particular.

That's a good shout, actually, I may look into that!

Getting Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 running in 2025 turns out to be more challenging than expected. I'm also not keen on signing up for an EA Play subscription just to play it either. 🤔

They're made of meat.

Resident Evil / Bio Hazard themed magazine. Apparently from Hong Kong. Features Claire Redfield in an anime style.

HK mag from ‘98 promising gun tactics, trendy fashion, and 100 free copies of Biohazard 2. Hell yeah.

Reading this blurb feels like stepping back in time. Back when digital speedometers and "funky styling" were enough to make a car feel futuristic. 🥹

Genuinely chuffed I got to play this for a couple of hours last night. No distractions, kids asleep, wee can of pop. It was nice.

Seeing some of those old Japanese cars was a nostalgic gut punch, and racing around Tahiti Road felt as sublime as ever.

Gran Turismo 2, race finish.

You might not like it, but this is what peak automotive excellence looks like.

Surprised to read that RE fans pretty much hate this entry. Namely the backtracking and a couple of disappointing boss fights.

Quite jarring given the media fawned over it on release. But then again, that was 25 years ago. 🫣

The kettle one, shit, I don't know. Hopefully bait lol. But I've seen far too many people complaining about the memes for the CEO, and I'm sorry, but this is the internet. Generally speaking, you get caught doing something shitty at an inopportune moment, and it's going to go viral.
