Hot off the presses, a new issue featuring a big step forward for Hikaru arcade emulation: Planet Harriers, Star Wars Racer Arcade, Brave Firefighters, and more!

Saturday night retro gaming fun.

Looking at the announcements last night, I feel like I saw more new IP than I expected, and I didn't see nearly as much as I expected from the "big" publishers.

I’ve been playing Retro Game Challenge on the DS lately and I love it so so much. I’m going to play the sequel next. But I wish evil Arino would give me challenges in tons of classic arcade games. Sounds silly perhaps but I love clearing all these odd challenges.

Thanksgiving shenanigans.

My son thought he would do better against me at Street Fighter II if we used the fight sticks. He did not succeed. We’re having fun though.

These children. I don’t know what I did to deserve this but yeah.

Building the LEGO GameBoy with my youngest.

Saturday afternoon project. My son has been very hard on his laptop keyboard, so I replaced it. I had to take almost every component out and remove the screen from the body shell to get it done, but it worked.

I’m hoping we have a tight enough scene that if someone spots this stuff for sale we can catch these shitheads

I'm pretty sure I want a GabeCube. No I didn't make that up, but I love it.

Brie Larson and Benny Safdie are going to be great. Particularly excited for Larson. Chris Pratt still sounds so so wrong as Mario. Sigh.

Introducing the boy to Dead Space tonight.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

This won’t impact audio

One of the goals I set for myself this year is to read more fiction. As of mid August I hadn’t even started. But now I’ve read five novels and I’m starting another one this evening. My goal is to finish twelve before the end of the year. It’s been fun. I definitely want to keep this up.

$30 a month? I’m sure glad we’ve got a Gamepass at home. At this point I’m just buying new games I want to support and playing through the backlog. This subscription stuff is bad for us.

My youngest son and I are playing Split Fiction currently. We’re in Chapter 3. This game is absolutely wonderful. Wow.

repost with a game from the year you were born! (Get off my lawn!)

For #randomgamesaturday here’s an odd one. My wife and I initially bonded over love of video games, horror movies and music. We got married on a Friday the 13th. And so, for every year of marriage, I’ve given her another copy of this absolute masterpiece of a game.

Movie night in Kilbornia.

I’m still not sure how to convince people to care about other humans, but as the weeks go by, I’m getting more concerned about how safe it is to express such an idea out loud.

In Metal Gear Solid (1998), when fighting the Hind D helicopter, you're advised to keep track of its location by listening to the stereo panning. But if you've set "Sound" to "Monaural" in the Options menu, you get this exclusive addition. . .

Honestly I was hoping for RE2-4 remakes but ok.

They have no idea how to market Metroid. But I’ll buy it.

I’ll buy Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. The Yoshi storybook game looks cool. Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment. That’s my list so far.

Virtual Boy accessory for Switch. What? I’m tired this morning, I barely slept last night. Is this real life? lol

Bibimbap-ish.

I love this so much

Movie night with Milo.

360 night over here. Schooling the boys in the ways of Geometry Wars.

Traveling with Hiccup.

Sunday morning cooking shows with the kids, looking for things to cook this week. I might regret letting them see the real Fak. But man his recipes are good.

Well that was fun

Some friends of mine worked on this, and it's sounding like it's being well received! I SUCK at these games but I'm going to give it another shot now that the first campaign is out.

@wes.readonlymemo.com I’m reading your new issue. Small world: I’m writing this from Hong Kong on my way home from a work trip to China. I saw Crayon Shin Chan stuff in just about every nerdy store I visited in Shanghai. It’s wild. I just bought the new Switch game for the flight back.

Late as always for #RandomGameSaturday. If you’ve never played Puppeteer it’s worth a look. It’s a charming platformer with a gorgeous puppet theater visual style. I’m not sure if it’s available now but if you get the chance to play it, do it.

My latest video is about what’s happening at Microsoft/Xbox, and why I actually think Microsoft is much more to blame than anyone at Xbox’s gaming division. youtu.be/yHfGJ53nHqc

My secret weapon best sound design plugin of all time is going to bed and coming back to it later

Romeo and Juliet. And the teacher fast forwarded past the nude scene.

Look, I don’t have a problem. #RetroGaming #RetroHandhelds

Dude what post-punk.com/oliva-rodrig...

It's the last Thursday of June so it's time for monthly #MiSTerFPGA news as MiSTer FPGA had another awesome month! #Sega Saturn updates, #arcade fun, @wickerwaka.com expanded the Taito F2 core, CD-i and more! (vid in reply) youtu.be/yAPNG6ZnA9Q

I just read about layoffs at The Chinese Room. Disappointed to hear that. I'm a big fan of their games :(
