SE (finally) expanding the FFXI free trial from 14 days and lvl 50 cap to unlimited time and lvl 75 is a really good idea. All the other 24th anniversary announcements were good too. Particularly excited they reconfirmed the Trust gear system and new zones. Makes me wanna jump back to retail.

Seems it's a bit unclear when Vagrant Story released in North America 26 years ago; sometime over the next few days. But, I will never pass up the chance to heap some fresh love on one of the GOATS. A dark fantasy espionage thriller that I can't recommend enough. Happy birthday, Vagrant Story. 💜

The thing that makes dungeon crawler games difficult to recommend to people who don't share that particular sickness is that I think it is funny and entertaining when the dungeon designers are deeply unfair to me.

My name is Brandon Miracle, and I'm a voice actor! I'm available for your games and animations! If you have a cool indie game project and want a Brandon Miracle sounding voice, I know just the guy for the job.

I feel super lucky to have been able to watch Christopher quietly work on Heathen behind the scenes over the past several months, and it's super exciting to see it finally getting a full announcement.

It's only a Roguelike if you have to take the chalice back to the province of France.

I just want more ROGUE in roguelike!

Fresh scan (as in I just opened a sealed pack) of Mega Man X milk caps that went to Nintendo Power subscribers long ago. These still rule.

lol in the time since I posted this, I've seen THREE new comments on my videos taking issue with this very thing

HEATHEN One town. One dungeon. A descent into madness. Wishlist now.

A weird thing that will be relevant to no one: If you talk about Dungeon Crawler video games online, there's an interesting tension you have to navigate between "Dungeon Crawler" the subgenre (like DRPGs and Blobbers), vs "Dungeon Crawling" the activity/aesthetic, which exists in numerous genres.

every single time anyone talked about e33 on social media this happened in like 5 different ways it was really funny and a digital anthropologist’s dream

discourse? howabout DISH-COURSE: What food could you eat a vat of? Mine is baba ganoush

what are we doing what's going on but genuinely

I just want to work. I just want to work!! Even fake job listings are drying up again and I'm no less burnt out. I feel disgusting. I'll keep chasing work and I'll keep fighting for a place to stand, but until that day comes, unfortunately we still very much need your help. I'm so, so sorry.

is this how I'm gonna be when they make a game about being a teenager in the late 2000s?

I was playing Bananza and Jungle Beat yesterday, which had me thinking about the ways that DK relates to the worlds in those games, and what that reveals about Nintendo's perception of him. Very different from the Country games! Would love if you checked this out :)) medium.com/@abrambuehne...

i think any good repository of romhacks and fan translations needs to just refuse to host MTL patches. they do far more harm than good and dignifying them with a database entry does everyone a disservice.

Big ol new video up! Happy belated 50th birthday DATA EAST youtu.be/8MG6MOxPe5E Sharing is much appreciated! (YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO COMPLY)

I almost called this episode the Minority Report, but anyways this is the most left I've been on this show It won't be the last.

I may or may not pop up in this 👀 A ton of work went into this video, be sure to come see what everyone had to say!

It's true, and it's $5 on Steam rn (or you can easily sideload it onto a hacked Vita), there are no excuses.

Look, I don't really have skin in the game aside from being a fan of the games, but the Atari v. Drecom back-and-forth on the Wizardry IP rights is very funny and has as much drama as a Bravo reality series reunion.

lol these Star Fox takes are a fun teaser of what folks are probably gonna be say about, like, Darunia, Impa, and Talon if the OoT remake is real

*looks at Switch 2 news* Star Fox 64 remake. Rumored Zelda OoT remake. Rumored 2D Metroid remake. Welcome back, 3DS.

Like this skeet if you have brain damage from covid or you really like first dungeon crawlers

The Sega CD version of Eye of the Beholder is perfectly playable but does inexplicably have an all-timer soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro that sounds like he is using music to separate himself from his humanity after his partner drowned mysteriously

you look strong, meet me at Δ Reincarnated Purgatorial Altar

Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight + Mysteries of the Sith. Also some of the EU Legends-era Dawn of the Jedi and Old Republic comics.

Is the Griffith fit real

So May 4th is my mom's birthday. She's a big Star Wars fan, even helped my uncle make fan film with their friends shortly after the first film called Car Wars. One of these years I'll find, digitize, and upload it.

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

Guys I'm starting to get kinda annoyed I have to spend my precious time doing someone else's work, making someone else's money, achieving someone else's goals. Anyone else ever feel this way!!??!??!?

Did my first Game Mess Mornings today! Thanks to Giant Bomb and @grubb.wtf for having me, really enjoyed our conversations. It's always fun getting to chat with the GB guys and doing so officially is just icing on the cake.

To celebrate 15 years of Alice Madness Returns, I was invited by American McGee to do an interview about his experience with the Alice series, as well as what game development is like in China, where he's lived for over 20 years! Lots of great insight here! #gamedev #devdive youtu.be/OkcAT45zfTQ

HOLY SHIT THIS DUDE IS WHOSE KID?!?!??! (this crowd work routine OWNS by the way)

The blacksmith's workshop.

Just put out a new video on what I believe to be the most iconic player-home mod for Oblivion. A cozy walkthrough and analysis of the insane mechanics (Dungeon Defense & Arena minigames) as well as the comfy rooms. Check it out! youtu.be/SkAXtF-C9t8 #oblivion #elderscrolls #theelderscrolls #rpgs

i think a ghost must've turned the volume knob up on my tinnitis. it's like a fleet of CRTs and thousands of breaking glass panes in there today.

Next day bump, watch my new vid so I don't feel tempted to have to retitle it to THE REVIVAL OF A GENRE THAT TIME FORGOT and switch the thumbnail to something with Mr beast

Gold, infamy and adventure await. Black Flag: RESYNCED

I forgot to say that I went to the AEW Dynamite/Collision recording in Portland a couple nights ago bc my buddy knows Tony Khan and got free tickets (I still am not sure how) and now I think I like wrestling. Like, for real this time actually like it.

found this on tumblr, mostly meant for headcanon territory, but I feel like it relates

This will not be a controversial, surprising, or even novel take, but Terror really have been--and as of today, continue to be--the best hardcore band of the past 25 years. flatspotrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fsr92-...

Wizardry making you hungry is the whole premise of Dungeon Meshi

🚨 Good morning folks, the new Terror record is out today and we've got a fresh review of it! Ellis gets into the gritty details of the return of one of the greatest bands in hardcore, and it won't be a surprise that this record turns out to be a rager Read it here: noobheavy.com/album-review...

Hello, This is a blanket statement to the many folks who've messaged about this: Yes, I am aware Vampire Crawlers exists. No, I am not playing it, nor do I plan to talk about it on The Crawl. Nevertheless, I think it's cool you're all enjoying it :) Thank you for your attention on this matter.
