It took me like an hour to get this joke. I just kept rereading the headline, trying to understand what happened to Weird Al. This is gonna happen all the time now, isn't it

I dunno who needs to hear this, but these are not the same person

What's the proper mindset for someone trying to get into Baroque on the Saturn? Should I expect it to take fifteen years to beat like Layer Section? I played it for a week and didn't really progress past the intro tower.

since we're on the topic... did you know the Ninja Kamui game from a year or so back is a G.rev joint? did you even know it exists? no? well one of the leads pushed through immediate life-threatening illness to get it over the line so it'd be nice if ppl gaf store.steampowered.com/app/2586560/...

Gungrave GORE was my favorite game of 2022, and even I think it's very weird they just announced a remake. This joins Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and Ninja Gaiden 2 Black in the category of remakes that weren't particularly warranted but will run worse on your PC.

Wait it was Gwyneth Paltrow's HEAD?!

Typical Street Fighter 6 session: -30-60 min. of fruitlessly troubleshooting graphics and connectivity issues -30 min. of losing to every person on the continent at an unstable 5-60fps Typical Sega Genesis session: -Playing a video game within fifteen seconds -Mostly steady 60fps -Hours of fun

Being a "branding genius" is kind of like being a "clubbing a guy with a bone" genius

It's midnight and I will now watch Juon 2. Thoughts and prayers please

Replaying Tenchu 2, maybe for the first time in 25 years. I remember it feeling like a pretty big leap forward from the first one, though not quite as snappy. It hasn't aged TOO badly, but its flaws really show in areas where being spotted ends the mission, which often happens inexplicably.

Calling a 60-second, gameplay-filled trailer a "teaser" is one of my favorite game marketing practices. It's the opposite of calling a cinematic trailer a "reveal."

This "teaser" for the just-announced Bomb Rush Cyberfunk follow-up, Hyperfunk, has more gameplay footage than we've seen of the upcoming Jet Set Radio since it was announced in 2023. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDzg...

Technically you're only shooting 'em "up" in a vertical shmup. Otherwise it's a shmideways.

This channel creates various video catalogs of retro games, and it's really good about showing high-quality play and a variety of scenes from throughout each game, rather than just some crummy footage from stage 1. I could leave this on all day. youtu.be/wZ6jREyDGRI?...

I'll never forgive America for the Lunchable

This is still the ideal way a video game can look imo

E-marketplace idea: online store where people sell their limited-edition, out-of-print collectibles for the exact price they were originally sold for. For nice people who just want to break even.

You order a matcha at a cafe in America and they just ASSUME a matcha latte. Who assumes a latte?? Get on your knees!

I like how words like "yap" and "slop" have come into vogue without having their meaning changed. They're old words that are just suddenly popular.

When you're playing Virtual Boy, your screen time tracker should have a multiplier like surge hours on a cab meter.

I've been wanting to see Weapons, and it just dropped on digital, but the rental price is six times(!) the theater ticket price during deal hours. I just think it's funny we're now paying a premium to not have to deal with the theater experience.

Listen, it's "balls to the wall," not "balls to the walls." Having your balls pressed up against multiple separate walls is a very different experience.

I've been reading MF Doom's biography and binging his discography for the last couple weeks and it's really helped a lot with mental health.

Oh man, Japan also made a ninja game

I can't believe this one guy is giving away everything I was looking for

We may never get a better CAG than Devil May Cry 5, and I don't think we need one. I'd pay a bundle for playable Lady and Trish though.

This article makes me feel like a space alien. Are we really at a point where it's this remarkable when an action game simply exists? I feel like we're not, and games like this drop constantly. It also seems like action and Shinobi fans aren't really that into this one...🤔

Why does Reddit alert you for this

I got one of my best friends on the show @brucewaynebrady44.bsky.social and got to reference my other friend @lacquerware.bsky.social so you honor it’s a good show

Man all I want is another Ranger X but where the bullets make a better noise when they hit stuff

These folks are slightly underselling what they're doing on the mega drive, check it out (WIP of course).

When were we all supposed to learn the word "gestalt"? I read a David Foster Wallace essay book this year and he used it like eight times, and each time, I said with great confidence, "I don't need to know what that means." I also played Nier Gestalt and don't know what either of those words mean.

Back on my Layer Section BS. Trying to incorporate strats from this great 1CC video guide, which of course means rewiring my brain, so I (temporarily?) suck again. But I also got to stage 6 on one credit for the first time in my 18 years of playing. youtube.com/watch?v=wYEoGabXh-s

I don't really believe in God, but apart from that I agree with everything I've ever seen Qasim Rashid say. I wish Virginia would've elected him, because I long to be proud of where I'm from. For now I'll just be proud to support him. ✊

I have a near constant desire to watch a Cabin Boy, the Chris Elliott vehicle. Is this a disease or

It pisses me off that MF Doom didn't live to be an old man. I love him

President shouldn't be a job you want.

Cool to see any Taromaru news, but I'd've called it "Taromaru the Hexecutioner," 😋.

Shinrei Jusatsushi Taroumaru, a Sega Saturn sidescroller renowned for its beautiful dark feudal Japan setting, now has an English translation patch thanks to a team of fans led by Exxistance! Get the details in our story: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/08/29/s... #sega #saturn #segasaturn

Okay, early Earthion impressions. Easily the easiest Easy mode I've ever encountered in a shmup; I 1CC'd it on my first try (with 6 lives to start, 3 to spare at the end), and I can't 1CC a pay phone. Also easily one of the most polished Genesis games I've ever played.

Does the new Shinobi have anything in common with any of the old games? I keep trying to get excited for it, but I just feel like they didn't make a Shinobi game, and what they did make has already been done to death. It looks like Odin Sphere, Dust, Icey, et al.

Last night we put on a random SNL ep on Peacock. 1996, Jim Carrey and Soundgarden. On paper, this is a recipe for, AT WORST, one of the best things you could see on TV in 1996. And yet somehow, it was dog doo-doo from start to finish! Also Peacock apparently cuts all the musical guest footage?!?!

I have been looking for this Steel Battalion disc (and like a dozen other missing things) since I moved seven years ago. It was hiding in my Pulse case along with Kirby's Epic Yarn! This means there's hope for all the other stuff.

Gradius is just stubbornly dumb, right?

Now that I've escaped Manhattan, maybe I'll unwind with that Die Hard with a Vengeance game where you speed around New York smearing pedestrians all over your windshield while disarming bombs by ramming them with your car.

Rewatching Godfather 2. This is as scary as any horror movie.

I don't think anyone in history has been upstaged as hard as Old York.

One of the few ways in which I am definitely American is that I prefer to say Genesis even though Mega Drive is both cooler and more correct and despite the fact that I hate the holy Bible

Me every time I play a new video game: Sure hope this game places me in a sewer at some point. Sewers!

I drove in Manhattan for the first time today and got absolutely everything I'd been dreading for the weeks leading up to it in a single left turn, lmao
