Since I posted about IDW's Sonic #75, thought I'd post my favourite covers from #50 as well since I just finished cataloguing it. www.thevideogamelibrary.org/book/sonic-t...

A lot of ppl who enjoyed our Bulk Slash project missed this one, but it greatly benefitted from all we learned on the former. SASS is, if not the Saturn's *best* 3D game, certainly its *most* 3D game. And @silos.bsky.social 's Mission Stick implementation makes it the best Mission Stick game imo.

One of the weirdest things about documenting so many Sonic comics is learning about so many different non-game characters that exist. There's like 75 characters on one of the alternate covers for issue 75. www.thevideogamelibrary.org/book/sonic-t...

Trying to make a tool for my city where you can easily sift through voting records, and I'm challenged trying to figure out how to automatically sort out things like "vote to end today's meeting at 4:27pm" with universal approval.

Drivers almost hitting me as I cross the street might actually be a good thing because my heart rate spiking makes it look like I put more effort into my run than I actually did.

Same treatment that Vile got. This sucks. But hey, at least "Talented Exorcist Won't Submit to Tentacle Demon" has only family friendly content so Valve allowed that one through.

Backlash surrounding Metroid Prime 4’s chatty supporting cast has inadvertently bled into one gamer’s relationship. paletteswap.site/dif...

Obviously no other boomer shooter looks like this, but the game feels pretty unique as well. At least in the demo, rooms are pretty small and cramped, but you're still trying to fly around while visual sensory overload happens around you. It's really fun. I'm glad it's landing so far.

24 years ago today Eyedea & Abilities released "First Born". If you played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 you might remember "Big Shots" from this album being on the soundtrack. It's kind of a weird song on an album about philosophy and mental illness, but I love it all the same. youtu.be/JpEdD1-6zOo?...

Playing Halo 4 and seeing the Chief/Cortana love story going on is really weird in 2025.

I hate AI as much as the rest of you, but weirdly it's inspired me to try and make stuff just so my life will never be surrounded by stuff I hate. Don't get me wrong I'm new and bad, so everything I make I ALSO happen to hate, but at least it's by a person.

Sometimes it feels good to see that you've still got it.

I'm such a sucker for old amusement park stuff. My local one just put out some of their old stuff and while I have no idea why a mammoth would stand on a rotating barrel, I kinda dig it.

I don't have a better suggestion but something is wrong if the simplest way we can describe a game is "FPS action adventure RPG".

It wouldn't be an Oilers game if it wasn't somehow terrifying even with a two goal lead most of the game.

I get why, but losing "greatest hits" and equivalents sucks. Demon's Souls and Ratchet: Crack In Time were $30 permanently a year after launch, now Demon's Souls PS5 and Ratchet Rift Apart are still $90 3.5 years later.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Saturn in North America, but it was also the second anniversary of our English patch for Stellar Assault SS! Don't sleep on the best space sim for the Saturn! Get it here: segaxtreme.net/resources/st... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming #videogames

Stuff like this is why Danny is one of the GOATs.

Took me way too long to get around to finishing Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but I really enjoyed it. Even if fighting was the weakest part, broke up the platforming enough and was always in short bursts.

Pulled off a big one at Skitching the Elephant today. Still can’t believe W sent me a list of his 100 favorite games! www.skitchingtheelephant.com/p/george-w-b...

Hit gold 3 in Starcraft 2. On a side note, studios should standardize if "Division + higher number" is better or "Division + lower number" is better.

NetEase issued a statement after laying off key members of the Marvel Rivals development team, claiming the game had fallen short of expectations. paletteswap.site/dif...

Giovanni's writing is always incredible. I love the way he can put games in context with real life circumstance and reflect on how that can change the way we perceive games.

Weird that Darwin's Paradox reminds me of Inside.

The worst part of Starcraft 2 so far is the amount of quitters. I can't rank down to people of my level because I'll run into a string of people trying to tank their account to lower divisions by quitting immediately and I'll rank right back up just to get decimated again.

Played my first six games of Starcraft 2 and walked away with a 50% win rate which sounds alright but one quit immediately seeing it would be zerg vs zerg, and the other two were from people quitting out of the game after I sent "gg" and was about to quit myself.

@brianaltano.bsky.social Yo, I'm visiting Portland in a couple days and I revisited your Fast Travel video. I always felt it was an incredibly cool concept for a show and just wanted to let you know that they're still incredible. Really looking forward to checking out some of the spots you mentioned

Helped a friend move yesterday and I'm not sure if I've grown that horribly out of shape or if I'm getting old but I'm fried today.

Doseone has been a hero of mine since the 90s, really happy to see him around still in music and in games. Also go play Sludge Life and Samurai Gunn 2, they're both awesome.

As always when HardDrive nonsense comes up, I always want to remind people that PaletteSwap is fantastic and has a lot of the old writers over there.

Palette Swap always has great pieces and this one is no different. Playstation used to be my favorite publisher but I have so few things to play from them in recent years Sega has kind of taken over. Cool to read some reasons as to why.

No bait, haven't played in weeks and got on Valorant the last two nights to some of the best games I've ever had and I'm now the highest rank I've ever been.

An Okami sequel, a Virtua Figher sequel, and a new Ueda game all announced on the same day is absolutely bananas.

Can't imagine a bigger "Holy shit" moment than this and the game awards haven't started yet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4hC...

When I got a 144hz monitor it felt like literal cheating with how much easier aiming was. I just now realized I've been using the wrong cable and I've still been playing on 60. GOING TO FEEL LIKE CHEATING AGAIN LET'S GOOOOO!

The rise of the war on christmas has a direct correlation with the fall in popularity of raunchy Christmas songs.

Drake has come out against Kendrick Lamar, accusing the rapper of an international scheme to make texting high-school-aged girls appear creepy.

It's only been a week and a half since the last Halo lan, but this is the longest I've gone since mid October and I'm FIENDING. I want to play again so bad.

Rise of the Golden Idol is fantastic. Kind of sucks it came out so close to the end of the year while everyone is catching up on things they missed. Here I am just detective-ing and shit. What a great time.

This game rules and it sounds like the director of the studio rules and this whole thing is just downright fantastic.
