cone of shame vs cone of delight

Random old dude at the farmers market is dragging around the legendary E3 2005 PlayStation party bag

:O

How are you this morning? Me, I'm still not over the fact that at one of John Denver's last concerts, his backup singer was Tony Hawk's sister

Bumping this up because it's genuinely groundbreaking stuff and I don't know that it's reaching the audience that it should! I think this is one of the greatest video game stories of all time. My guests are rarely heard from and were extremely generous with their memories.

The Namco Legendary Pack is launching for Atari 50 on November 13! Pac-Man and Atari, together again!

We’ve just pushed PlayStation hotfix live that improves latency and online audio, as well as numerous smaller fixes and improvements. Full patch notes: https://www.digitaleclipse.com/media/mortal-kombat-legacy-kollection-patch-notes-11042025

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

I was front row center for this amazing panel and now you get to watch it too. Probably one of the best panels ever given at a retro gaming show. Felt like the culmination of @frankcifaldi.bsky.social's life's work:

This is a great read. Ninja Gaiden isn't given half the credit it deserves in terms of its impact on games as a cinematic medium

Mortal Kombat accomplished nothing less than forcing the creation of the modern games industry. Facing a threat of government regulation, companies like Nintendo and Sega had to sit down and start talking to each other, ultimately forming the first industry-wide ratings and lobbying organizations.

Tearing my attention away from the baseball for a moment to amplify this -- a Steam hotfix has gone out with some fixes that will also hit other platforms, alongside many other fixes, in the days to come!

Attention to every game dork born between 1975-1990: The Mortal Kombat Kollection is fucking incredible. The games themselves are a nostalgia delight, but what you’re really buying is a brilliant documentary/multimedia recreation of living through MK’s cultural moment. it’s a game as a time machine

Strength. Performance. Luxury. Millions of years of evolution. In God’s own image. The 2025 Human Skeleton What’s inside 𝑦𝑜𝑢?

Beware the Pumpking's wrath, my child Each darkened Halloween On Mischief Night, he watches all And should your pranks be seen A hefty toll he will exact While naughty children sleep He'll steal your candy, every piece And give it to his creeps!

History saved! Thanks to Kay and the larger Atari 8-bit community for their great preservation work.

This is a great day for so many team members, but let's have some big congratulations to @danamrich.bsky.social today. I've handled the lead writing on our documentaries prior to this but Dan has such a lifelong history with MK and such a rapport with the creators that this had to be his story.

I was flying to DICE earlier this year, where I was going to meet up with @mikedrucker.bsky.social, and I was reading his book where he tells the story of buying the Game Boy version of Mortal Kombat. I think before I left Vegas I was like "Mike, I need you to sign an NDA so I can tell you something

An update around lobbies and online play for the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection.

We really left it all out there with this one. No stone unturned. No detail too small. Goro feet pics

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is almost here (or if it's October 30 where you live, already here)! Here are the online features that are available at launch, and our plans for the immediate future:

If/when they hit inning 20 they pivot to 1:1 hand-to-hand player matchups. Much like Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection releasing on October 30th

Here’s who’s left in the bullpens

Hi, CEO of I Made It Games LLC, here. We're looking for viral indie games with a cool aesthetic that have a proven gameplay loop, narrative hook, the interest of top 1% streamers, and are 80-90% complete. In exchange for 50% of your profits we'll let you put our name on the Publisher field in Steam.

This level is so ridiculous that I realized that it was actually far far easier to just not take the Spring Mario power up at all

I am playing Mario Galaxy 2

Want a deeper look at some features of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection? Noted MK expert "Ketchup" applies his skills and knowledge to a few of our unique features in a new video today. I'm still blown away by what this team has collectively accomplished. www.youtube.com/watch?v=py_-...

quick question if a fancy restaurant has a "corkage fee" they can't charge it if the wine doesnt have a cork right? asking for no reason

Too bad they put in all that work just to get totally steamrolled by the Nintendo Gamecube (GCN).

"kool." sorry I don't make the rules.

I should ask how much for just the boring old gray one and not the special gold one

It's called Fatality Trainer, which it absolutely is. But it's also like Fatality Theater. Want to see every finishing move in the game, even stuff like Animalities? Jump right in and you can do them all one after the other without having to get to the end of a fight. Oops, now it's been three hours

Listening now and it's amazing. Just got through Dracula singing "I Want To Bite Your Hand"

Great essay that explains with copious illustrations the question of why Mario dies like that

I met @othatsraspberry.com at PRGE!!! I have zero evidence for this but it happened

Paper towel dispensers are the pettiest machines. "I need another towel." "Ugh FINE you baby here's another HALF a towel. Make it work

jeremy: we should have this sake with dinner. it's really good but pretty strong me: yeah ok what could go wrong jeremy one hour later:

Good morning from war-ravaged Portland where the trees are, as you can see, on fire. My panel is at 2:15 today!

Better Not Get Wet, Jesse Bear

Portland Retro starts at noon today! You can play our version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy that will be in Legacy Kollection!
