The instructions on my ready meal said "pierce film lid in several places" so I went to the library, the park, a greengrocers.. These things aren't as convenient as they're made out to be.

Where's my Unreal Engine 5-quality remake of Sonic 3D Blast, please?
Since there's a whole new generation (and also the old generation, again) warming themselves up to whinge about Navi, let me tell you the story of Ortho...
It's really funny seeing streaming services discover how TV works from first principles. Or at least it would be if they hadn't completely gutted the entire film and TV industry first.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 5d agoA new report from Luminate has found that long gaps between seasons of streaming TV shows are leading to major losses in viewership. More than a 1 year gap is seen to largely cause a significant loss in viewership. (Source: luminatedata.com/reports/2026...)
Ocarina of Time's art style is the new "what should we call Metroidvanias".
Maths-based Stephen King horror sequel... Carrie: the Remainder Reviews prove highly divisive.
The core notion that Samus is a cool character is correct. This doesn't mean that you have to continue to PROVE she's cool by giving her action hero lines, vendettas, vampiric urges or reasons to flip out in battles. Samus is cool because she's a badass hunter who still chooses to save the animals.
New to #MecchaChameleon and interested in trying it on Switch 2? Here are the basic controls when playing with Joycons (no mouse) or a Pro Controller to get you started.
Extremely tempted to play Star Fox Adventures using my Switch's N64 controller, as the Krazoa originally intended.
Watching "The Man Trap" for Star Trek's 60th and it's really making me want a packet of Walker's ready-salted crisps. A classic sci-fi story, holding a lens up to the modern-day and going "no YOU like salt actually". Makes you think.
For Star Trek’s 60th anniversary, why not revisit the article I posted earlier this year about the history of the Mike Mayfield fan game and how it wound its way to the Atari 2600? www.atariarchive.org/blog/stellar...
Stellar Track – March 1981, Atari Archive
At first glance, Stellar Track seems like a minor VCS release, and it is – as a Sears exclusive that requires the instruction manual to learn to play,...

You can't really see the rain on YouTube so Ganondorf just looks the moistest he's ever been.
It still feels like unbridled sorcery to be able to boot up an official game in 2026 and go "Yes, I would like to play as Amy in Sonic 1 with Tails as my buddy while we go on a quest for all seven Chaos Emeralds, thanks. Oh, and I'll have that bubble shield too."
You might think you're having a wedding in 2026, but if you haven't got a Stars On 45 vinyl mixing everything right down to a simple 4/4 beat, are you even celebrating? www.youtube.com/watch?v=43mv...

Oh, yeah, from that time I thought "you know, what Duke3D really needs to be a contender is a map based on Mario Kart 64's "Block Fort".
In an unexpected but welcome turn of events, I've just recovered a load of my Duke Nukem 3D and Half-Life maps from 25+ years ago that I thought had been lost to time. ...I'm a bit scared to actually load them.
Can we just get Super Mario 65 already I'm sick of all these spin-offs
Was looking forward to Whisper of the House and its strong Unpacking vibes, but sadly, the text is miniscule. And you need to read the prompts to work out what item you're holding.
Okay, just hear me out, right, a chronological video series going through every video game that's got cavemen or dinosaurs in it and then I put them all in a big tier list at the end. Then, as an epilogue, a Prehistoric Gaming iceberg. Yeah! Yeah?
You've got to practice jokes about docks, harbours and piers, because timing is quay.
The fact the Peter Cullen's passing has made it to the front page of BBC News shows you how much he meant to people. I can only think of a few notable voice actors who'd receive such acknowledgement. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Peter Cullen: Optimus Prime and Eeyore voice actor dies
Cullen voiced the heroic Optimus Prime in the Transformers TV series and then the Hollywood films.

I don't know why but I saw this and immediately had to freehand-mouse draw it. I think it's the way his pupil exists in 3D space.
