Early this morning my wonderful dad lost his battle with pancreatic cancer and passed away. He was the kindest man I knew, and the type of guy that a million people would bend over backwards for because they knew he'd do the same for them in a heartbeat. But most of all he was my best friend.

If I we the dude in The Raven, I would have just told that punk-ass bird to fuck off.

An impossible port: Dragon's Lair for Game Boy Colour (2001) Digital Eclipse and lead programmer Cathryn Mataga opted to bring the original QTE-based arcade experience of Dragon's Lair to the humble handheld, pulling it off spectacularly with programming wizardry and a larger cart size.

Well, when you put it like that this starts to sound mighty cartel-y. The only thing that'd make this more suspect was if the CEO of Nvidia and AMD, despite ostensibly being the only two competitors in the space, were actually super clos-- Oh Jensen Huang and Lisa Su are cousins, you say... Huh...

This series is awesome because when he was playing NES games it was a total spin of the wheel if a game you'd never heard of would be awful or kinda neat (or both), but now he's moved onto the N64 it's like the house has loaded all the dice and the pit boss could break you legs at any moment.

dipshit nice sneak peak of the sort of media policies you can expect under his presidency

Here's some first time Gamescom survival for anyone that wants it. Always remember, that showfloor is WAAAAY bigger than you expect and after Wednesday it can take upwards of 40 minutes to get from one end to the other once the public gets in.

Seeing some games media and PR folks saying they are going to Gamescom this year for the first time. I wrote some crash course tips for the Giant Bomb folks last year and you'd like me to share them with you just reach out. It is a physically demanding show and you have to mind yourself at it.

Oh well, if Sony is doing it cautiously then I don't even know what all the fuss was about.

The Stellar Blade AI music video is funny, because it's meant to be a showcase of the tech to convince people that the studios massive use of AI is good, but the actual result is highlighting AI's continued terrible temporal consistency because the art style keeps shifting and changing her face.

Thank you all for the kind birthday wishes. I am not celebrating today due to family circumstances (which is also why you haven't seen me on any content in a while) but if you like my work you can toss me money for a coffee it would be much appreciated. ko-fi.com/basicallilexi

We gotta kick Palmer Luckey outta retro gaming I’m sick of seeing him throwing his loser ass government contract money around in my hobby

Let me get this straight. - Wuchang came out and was published by 505 - The studio closed because it "underperformed" - The studio head founded a new company and bought the Wuchang rights, around the same time that it was announced it sold 5m - And now 505's parent company is publishing a sequel

Technically I'm not working, BUT, I should note I'm always looking for tips or to have a chat about retro gaming bits and bobs (especially if you're working on hardware). Either DM me or hit up phil[dot]hayton[at]futurenet[dot]com

Jenson Huang has also singlehandedly make the black leather jacket extremely cringe. I'm sorry but you have to absolutely trash the shit out of your black leather jacket if you don't want to be associated with the stench of a rich AI-addled exec
