New at the Video Game Soda Machine Project: I've added the Boom Pop!, CAN-uck!, and Chunks vending machines from Starfield. That last one dispenses food and drinks in cube form, including zero-calorie chunky cola.

Huge find for the Video Game Soda Machine Project! I just added Transformers: Capture the Cube, a 2007 Flash game starring Dispensor, a stealthy Deception who can transform into a Mountain Dew vending machine! The entry includes videos of Dispensor's transformation and the game's twist ending.

A few days ago, someone replied to one of my posts with a bunch of video game soda machine screenshots. I bookmarked the posts so I could go back and catalog them later, but it looks like they've been deleted. If you're out there and reading this, would you mind posting them again? Thanks!

Wait, people are fantasy footballing game review scores now?

do not do this

Text in an email screen. It reads:
Hi Rebekah

Please, please excuse my unsolicited email to contact you but I thought I’d lay my case before you to see if you feel it is worthy of your time to reply.

I have read your review of Deltarune chapter 5 and I have no issues or anything negative to say about your insight.

However you hold the keys to something very important to me. Victory!

Now I am doing a fantasy critic and I had this game picked to take me to 3x crown winner amongst my gamer buddies and based on the 4 scores it has real promise for me to take me past the line to victory.

Why does this concern you, you might be asking?

Well your review was unscored.

And I understand why you scored it like that however I am left in a pickle (albeit a pointless and stake less one).

Is there any way I could ask you make that problem disappear? (Slides over crisp $20 note) *wink wink*

Failing that what number would you have given the score just so I can have a story to tell the guys how I tried to bribe Rebekah Valentine 😂

Many thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

Imagine how amazing it must feel to get Ratatouilled. Just absolutely freeing.

Somehow it's perfectly normal for Fraggles to eat the Doozers' building materials, but everyone gets all judgy when I take a single bite of fiberglass insulation.

I just grabbed this boxed copy of X-Men II: Fall of the Mutants (1990) for five bucks! This game's roster was insane at the time: Wolverine, Psylocke, Colossus, Rogue, Longshot, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, Phoenix, Dazzler, Havok, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Archangel, and Iceman.

I really want to like Starfield. But every time I've tried it, I bounce off in less than an hour. It's too much game!

If AI bots start scraping my streams, expect to see them get really good at Space Quest 2 sometime in the near future.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

It might be the first game to have ever included a multiverse as part of its core narrative. It’s basically “you can play ‘what if?’ with the Fall of the Mutants story arc.”
