Virtual Boy haters were wrong then and are wrong today.

Can a business acquisition make you cry?

Holedown is my best out-of-nowhere discovery so far (though I've only tried maybe three or four games so far). Super casual; super charming. I'm picking up elements of Breakout, Bust-A-Move, Mr. Driller, and Peggle, but it's even simpler and less stressful than any of those. A great podcast game.

Less than 10¢ per game, many of which are individually worth more than the $10 minimum asking price! In a time when nobody has money for video games and we're all worried about where the money we do spend will go, purchasing this bundle like this is practically a moral imperative.

Why would Iran mess with the water in Michigan? Don't they know we already have that covered?

After all these Spider-Man sequels, reboots, and spin-offs, we still don't have a Turn Off the Dark adaptation. Get it together, Hollywood.

I'm so tired of freaking myoclonus.

Can someone explain how I went 19 years without knowing this existed?

Incredible scenes on YouTube as the algorithm recommends an Alanis Morissette cover of My Humps from 19 years ago and lots of people are very confused about what timeline we are on.

When I hear, "3DO game," I expect something weird. When I hear, "Cancelled 3DO game," I expect even weirder. When I hear, "Cancelled 3DO game starring Rudy Ray Moore as the leader of a fire brigade that choreographs dance numbers," I think I'd know what to expect, but no. This is far beyond weird.

DUELIN' FIREMEN!

This article is obviously worth your time. Rebekah is one of the best in the biz. She's highlighted some great games. I love that she's encouraging everyone to get their colon checked. However, as someone who's had sooo many colonoscopies, bringing a Switch into the bathroom during THAT...? No.

The Five Best Switch Games To Play While Prepping For Your Colonoscopy:

Everyone expects these Atari movies to be creatively bankrupt flops, if any of them even get made at all. Not me, though. I hope they're successful. I want a future where Centipede is such a box-office smash that every streaming service rushes to produce their own Bug Attack or GridRunner.

They're telling me the FIFA would've been 500, 600, even 900% worse under Biden.

You know what's cool about the Web? I found myself thinking about the Everybody Votes Channel, and sure enough, the results of every poll they ever ran were just a search away. If you were curious whether more male or female Wii users had a widescreen TV in August 2007, here's your answer.

I can't. My head is going to pop straight off of my neck. This can't be real. Please let me walk you through one of the FIRST puzzles found in 1995's The 11th Hour: The Sequel to The 7th Guest...

How is it that the Angry Video Game Nerd has been doing his thing for more than 20 years and he still hasn't covered The 11th Hour?

I've been re-watching Wentworth. As happy as I am that I'm not in a maximum-security Australian prison, I'd be lying if I said I'm not just a little sad that life on the outside doesn't come with many opportunities to shout about "laggin' to the screws."

Jazz Jackrabbit is important to me in the way that only a game that comes out when you're six years old can be. The same goes for the people behind it. It's so good to see Cliff getting introspective; grappling with the ego and alcohol that have been poisoning his work and life for much too long.

Weekend read: I spent 2+ hours with Cliff Bleszinski — his first real interview since the memoir. He brought a typed list of every mistake that killed Boss Key, and walked me through it. Also why, 8 years later, he’s coming back. ☕️ 80.lv/articles/cli...

Learning that Shigeru Miyamoto feels exactly the same way about Yoshi's Island that I do is just one of numerous fantastic discoveries found in this 1996 conversation he had with Kenji Eno. Who knew Aquanaut's Holiday was such a hot topic? shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Shut up! Yeah, I like dinosaurs, but I don't LIKE like them! I meant that I like dinosaurs, as a friend.

YouGov@yougov.co.uk · 3w ago

Who doesn't like dinosaurs? Certainly not the person who paid a record-breaking $50m for a T-rex skeleton at auction on Tuesday Our 2024 poll found 15% of Britons love dinosaurs, and 34% like them - only 3% dislike or hate them, while 47% are indifferent yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

Ha ha ha! The carpenter from Donkey Kong is a MAN who JUMPS!!! I JUST got that.

Why aren't murderers recording their murders? It's not enough that cameras are already everywhere, recording everything from multiple angles. We MUST buy body-mounted cameras for murderers, as well as paying for classes where we can teach them the importance of capturing their murders on video.

END ICE NOW

I understand feeling numb, feeling defeated, not having the words to say after another ICE murder. Protests, investigations, and legal actions, however, have weakened ICE. Not as much as I'd like, but undoubtedly enough to make some difference. To save lives. Silence, meanwhile, gets us nowhere.

It's no secret that his movies didn't always make me laugh. Still, I'm going to miss the times Sam Neill and I spent passing laws when the cameras weren't rolling.

What do "Back the Blue" dorks do when they get pulled over? Do they just thank the officer in person, or are they mailing a handwritten card?

I've just learned that Democrats refused to fund body cams for ICE, and that's the problem. That is the only problem. Illegals are invading our country, and Democrats didn't pay to put cameras on state-sponsored murderers. Case closed.

Ohhhhhhh, boy. Scrolling through Nextdoor the day after a local ICE murder was a mistake.
