A few screengrabs from RyanUkAus' wonderful vid. Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere, original or gutted international version, remains a dispensary of timeless vibes. Peak Namco era.

The Shield. A gut-punch finale to a hell of a show.

A new year is just around the corner, but before we start slinging new wares, we wanted to show you what we made in 2025. Australia's best game devs have put together a sample platter of their work from this year. Get 16 games for just $10 and help us ring in the new. itch.io/b/3462/ausrp...

Birth of the Boom Witch, timelapse of inking and coloring what was originally a work sketch I did during down time. Glad I refined that sketch a bit after that job had ended, rather fond of drawing her. #ericlvargas #boomwitch #timelapse #oc #witch #digitalart

For the hard surface perverts. An incredible restoration.

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers. Hard Mode: No Gundam Series,Battletech or Macross allowed.

Has not left rotation since its release last year. Absolutely sublime, which is what you'd expect from a Nils Frahm project, but equally as interesting is the inspirational and enigmatic figure behind the outfit's third album creation - Herbert Lazlo Laser and his Synthar.

If you see this, post a comics cover you love.

Fantastic account to follow

A belated 'it's the last work day of the year so post a video game banger'. Still boggles the mind that the ill-fated and egregiously-monetized Homeworld Mobile sported such a stellar OST, but here we are.

'Legendary Pilots is an indie flight simulator that doesn't aim to be the most "realistic" flying game ever, but rather offers a fun, stylised experience centred on the pilot's career.' Whoever is signing these gems at Microprose, stay the course! Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/2393730/...

Speaking of Drop Command, newest dev update from @pillbuggames.bsky.social paints an expansive picture of not just old school mech combat, but dynamic NPCs, factions, uprisings and more.

Between Drop Command and now Steel Bounty, the Mech2/Earthseige fan cup runneth over! Iron Soldier 4 next?

Excited for Rust Never Sleeps to be part of this mecha rpg bundle alongside great games like RIG, Spectres of Brocken, Lost Among the Starlit Wreckage, Leadbellies, and more. Plus, 35 games for $20 is a fantastic deal. Over $150 in discount. itch.io/b/3426/sprin...

I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie.

👀👀👀 'CARNIVORE is a cataclysmic dinosaur miniature skirmish game where predators battle for survival in the shadow of extinction. Built on a fast, visceral D10 system, it delivers combat that is tactically deep but accessible—easy to learn, brutal to master.' More info: gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Been really enjoying Ali Awada's analog horror work set on the islands of Jurassic Park.

collectionchamber.blogspot.com/2025/12/chri... The Collection Chamber Christmas Countdown has begun! And Day 1 brings us SkyRoads: The Kosmonaut Collection (1990-94 Bluemoon), that includes the Xmas Special too. Enjoy!

Between the unstoppable Lollapalooza DJ set and Salvation LP, Rebecca Black made a meal of 2025. Capping off the year with this live Addison Rae cover seals the deal.

Tankhead now TankRat.

That feeling when a client takes your technical design artwork for the project and stuffs it into the gAI slop-machine 'to see what it looks like!'. What it looks like, sir, is what was sent.

What actor's facial expression will stay with you for the rest of your life?

This machine was originally designed for @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social's Rust Never Sleeps, and I was graciously given the green-light to reuse it in an assumed original construction/commercial form.

Didn't get much in the way of personal artwork done this year, but did squeeze in a quick thing for @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social and @ehronlime.bsky.social's Mini Mecha TTRPG Jam, my first ever little solo 'game' called HEAVY VERTICAL LICENSE: alex-connolly.itch.io/heavy-vertic...

Bringing this back for 2025. Something watched. Something played. Something heard. Something read. Doesn't need to be explicitly from this year, just favourably experienced within.

My time is spent writing these days, but I really should get back to the ol' digital paints.

Psst! Biff has trussed up AvP2 very, very nicely.

Some of the mecha design I've done over the last few years, some of it for the comic "Steel Siege". Got some new mecha focused work in progress that I'm hoping will be ready in time for the upcoming Norwescon. #ericlvargas #mecha #mechadesign #steelsiege

It would be no surprise to anyone that the designer of the Transavia Airtruk (and the Bennett Airtruck), Luigi Pellarini, was also the brains behind the Aerauto PL.5C. It first took to the skies in 1949, but was refused registration as a car due to it being propellor-driven. Only one was ever made.

28 years to the day. Still one of the most bangin' music tracks in gaming.

Was checking out this 1981 video commissioned by the Tasmanian Department of Main Roads, and whoever was responsible for the soundtrack turned a basic educational film into an ominous Oz New Wave gem. Brake in Fright!?

New truck. Ear defenders optional.

News report by ABC journalist Peter Luck during the early production days of the Airtruk, beginning with the 1969 promotional flight throughout SE Asia, India and Africa.

Made famous by its outing in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the Transavia PL-12 Airtruk was a unique agricultural aircraft. Despite Australian government reticence to support a domestic aviation industry, Transavia manufactured 138 between 1966 and 1993, and had plans for utility and military variants.

Hardsuit-em-up Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri is currently on sale for mere cents, or your regional equivalent.

And just to cap off the S:AAB-Millennium crossover trivia, Millennium season 2's portentous comet was named P1997 Vansen-West, after S:AAB characters Shane Vansen and Nathan West.

Showrunners Glen Morgan and James Wong gave their alien antagonist a cameo in Millennium's 'The Curse of Frank Black' (Season 2, Episode 6), after Space: Above and Beyond was axed.
