Has anybody checked the lobby of EA?

TIL in Norway (and other places?) they race motorcycle powered mini cars on a road course made of dirt and asphalt - called Shortcar www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VzX...

Cat Hand / Hardware / Casio / 1983

Sure you could jut TOW a camper trailer, but have you considered…

You’re unprepared for the [unreleased] Japanese title of Burnout

Chef Boyardee Pac-Man (1983-1987): A line of canned pasta concoctions, based on both the "Pac-Man" arcade games and short-lived TV series. Featured pasta shaped like ghosts, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Baby, in "golden chicken" sauce, cheese sauce, or tomato sauce with meatballs

Not gonna lie, this 1991 ad using Nagel-style art to hawk Bob Evans Restaurants is deeply unsettling yet oddly comforting

Great write up about the 16-bit Road Rash games by @extentofthejam.bsky.social . Of course you know I’ve got thoughts on the “end of an era” paragraph about the 3DO version at the end 😅

Tired: finding the texture sources in Mario 64 Wired:

Florida, tho 🙃

Okay that was misstating it: The local government site I found the info on was just a list of historic buildings for an architectural history walking tour, it wasn’t protected (clearly!) www.cityofsthelena.gov/638/1380-Mai...

A Superb Owl Going Supernova: Psygnosis in '96 into 1997! This is a pretty awesome hype reel, a snippet from a longer video, from my overall favourite software dev/publisher (and developer of key dev kit hardware for the PS1) of the past. #VideoBytes

ちょっとらくがき

Reminder: Venus Wars

From Sega Rally to… “what if Road Rash?”

youtu.be/GbH88j6V_2I?... Did you know that Rave Racer isn't the only game that Namco made🤯 Hard to believe eh.... but there's actually at least 2 of them, possibly even more

mfw friends are visiting Laperopter Corporation’s Ridge City location

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

This article is so brutal it actually made me like the one LA mark they SHOULD have picked (the one that looks like the 84 games) less

🥵🥵 #everythingonwats

oh shiiiiiiiiit

I watched a MX-5 Cup race on YouTube and can't stop thinking about this livery that presumably aimed for Marlboro but hit Jibanyan.

No Second Prize also features one of the turffest cover paintings ever:

One problem with this website is that I haven’t seen anybody talking about the intro to No Second Prize

I trust I'll see you all at Road Rash Church this week, they're starting a new series called Break Your Rusty Cage And Run. Sunday at 9/10:30.

How did the show Party Down have a whole plot point about the Snow Crash film actually being made (in the first 30 seconds of an episode no less)

While fascism continues its hapless dedication to on-the-nose obviousness and any inability to introduce nuance or the slightest cleverness whatsoever, enjoy the queer and camp dissent of TCM’s counter-programming this evening.

Forgotten Worlds’ vibe—as presented inside the game—couldn’t be improved upon, or so I thought…

Enjoying this thread. Haven't done this with anything that isn't very deliberately based on a real place rather than just vaguely evoking it, but the other year I did get a bunch of snaps in Japan to match up with various anime/visual novels.

Excalibur.

And I was disappointed at Atari's rebranding efforts. History used to mean something, dammit.

*Soul Calibur voice* Welcome to the Halls of Medicine

Which is partly why the Chinese outdoor industry has boomed over the past 5 years because everyone is sick of the mall culture: www.chinadailyhk.com/hk/article/6...

I thought Airframe Ultra was going to be just Jet Moto 2026 but it's surprisingly so much more than that?? It's Jet Moto, it's NFS Most Wanted (2012), it's car combat, it's Road Rash. Game that is going 120% on everything. Incredibly awesome. store.steampowered.com/app/2522120/...

TIL Japan will put a bucket on something as small as a Town Ace (not a Kei truck, but literally the 80s Toyota Van platform)

It really is

Ooh! Also yes I am now rewatching this video (this is the highest praise for a long YouTube video), thanks all (esp @dark1x.bsky.social for this, lol). Video is simultaneously inspiring me to present my findings in video and intimidating me with the high standard it already covered the topic with.

Things you may not know about Prop Cycle

Not posting this because it’s a leftist clapback I just enjoy the “ohh noo im gonna get in trouble” reaction from the anchor.

lunchtime browsing today: fairly convinced most microcars have load-bearing luggage racks, and that’s fine because this looks like a one-way ticket to the Miyazaki universe www.carandclassic.com/la/C2017708

www.famitsu.com/article/2026... I'm sure you can steal them for free already if you're like that but Namco's putting 150 Ridge Racer series songs from 9 albums onto all of the usual streaming platforms worldwide from tomorrow Also Rave Racer next week, incase you'd not heard

If you've ever wondered about the sheer size and majesty of Mount Fuji, I took this photo of the Tokyo metropolis from the window of JL43 to London Heathrow yesterday. 🗻

Anyway, I have absolutely no idea what to do with this cat.

I’m watching Initial D for the first time because my eldest got into it after seeing a TikTok about an AE86. So anyways, new livery idea:

Recce WRC Celica spotted 👀

Reminder to watch PanaMonium's Sega Rally documentary www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CEd...

One of these days I’m gonna need to graduate some ideas off of the sketch stage
