We have a new website as of today! All the old content and lots of new stuff on the way. Give it a look!

You know what's up

I believe this actually showed up on Xbox much like the, uh, bootleg versions of Wipeout that I covered lol

I just like CRTs, what can I say?

I'm convinced that Xbox today would be in a different place if Kinect had never become a thing. This was the point when things started to go off the rails.

Working on an Unreal video - when using modern renderers, has anyone managed to achieve the current sky color? It’s always wrong compared to the original 3DFX renderer.

Hmm, my Hucard copy of PC Genjin 2 (Bonk's Revenge) is suddenly not working even with cleaning. Just garbage tiles on screen...that's concerning. Has anyone had any failures with PC Engine Hucards before?

First episode of the DF Retro Super Show is out! This is our new retro focused podcast that will sit alongside DF Direct Weekly with episodes hitting twice a month! First one focuses on the launch of PlayStation 2. Be sure to give it a look!

In case you missed it, a new episode of DF Retro dropped yesterday! While the new bar is featured it’s mainly focused on the originals.

I had the urge to fire up Halo MCC on my PC and it’s been 20 minutes of account jail as it just refuses to let me in. I have now given up. F*** this nonsense.

Marcus?!

We're starting a proper DF Retro podcast called 'The DF Retro Super Show'! View the full announcement within! We'll have guests but main cast includes myself, @pc98audi.bsky.social and both Coury and Marc from @mylifeingaming.bsky.social! First ep next week! youtu.be/FZLio3AN4fY?...

Man, looking at this again...it's such a bummer that they canned this version and turned it into a regular action game. Anyone know what happened behind the scenes here? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oYJ...

Nuff said

This place is nuts

I watched this episode of Shin Project X on the PlayStation and it was super interesting. I knew a lot already but didn’t realize the importance of the late Oohashi san from Toshiba who passed away from cancer not long after the PS1 released.

This is such a sad and difficult situation. Wanted to share and raise awareness.

Did some ring adjustments tonight, as you do.

This is gonna be good! Be sure to check it out.

The perfect soundtrack for DF Direct

Huh, PCSX2 really really does not like this even in software rendering mode! Will capture from a regular PS2, of course, but this is interesting.

Getting close to finishing up a DF Retro on Tony Hawk 3 and 4! I got back to it over the last week at last!

Whoa. Interesting find in the patch notes. Curious to test this myself. Wonder if it’s just a coincidence or they saw video and tackled it? 😅

Who wants an Ear Swirkle?

If you wanna check this out, YouTube added auto-generated subtitles now! Good to know that they appear after a while.

Well heck, finally! Great to see a top tier HDR implementation as it’s become increasingly rare.

How about some photos?

I’ll be joining Mitsuyoshi san live on YouTube to talk about TGS and more! #segasoundstreet youtube.com/live/JkT3AAy...

I think I have an idea for the next Xbox marketing beat…

Andrew rules - check this out

New video is up! In HDR!

So it seems that HDR is broken in yet another UE5 games. Devs are dropping the ball and Epic has a real problem here. HDR generally never works right in UE5 games and it needs addressing. OLED TVs are hugely popular - most displays do HDR these days.

The ultimate Sega Nomad - the box From 家電のケンちゃん

Chip Tanaka doing his DJ set live was such a joy. youtu.be/NtznHkQTLVQ?...

I like how this bad name basically captures the last years of Yuji Naka’s career.

Earthion is launching September 18! 🎉 Nintendo Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox One/Series X|S, with the Steam version already available. A brand-new side-scrolling shooter that captures the golden age of late-80s to early-90s arcade shmups. Dive in and enjoy!

Just tried this thanks to @pc98audi.bsky.social pointing out that it exists. It’s very cool. Uncapped frame-rate and ultra Mario with some nice enhancements. www.opensourceprojects.dev/post/1967620...

What do ya’ll think? It’s not Cherry’s responsibility, of course, but I felt like it was a little mean. It was gonna sell like crazy regardless and dropping it this way hurt a good number of games. They’re not “in the wrong” or anything but man…

Dat PS2 aesthetic 💪

Amusingly, the screen will be a lot worse than an actual Virtual Boy lol

Come hang out over on @mylifeingaming.bsky.social - I'm joining Coury to chat about Nintendo Direct...live. If you want the rawest of the raw impressions, you'll find it here. Best stream for watching Nintendo Direct, most certainly! www.twitch.tv/mylifeingaming

Man, this demo was so good. I cannot wait for the Return of the King. Lumines PSP is still one of the best puzzle game experiences I've ever had. I remember sitting outside in the warm sun beneath gently swaying trees, PSP in hand, and reaching Lights for the first time. It was magic.

Man, this list makes me sad. Most people playing games really only play the same few titles huh.

30 years eh? You know what that means! Time to watch the DF Retro episode on the launch of PlayStation again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SaA...

I'm, uh, not sure about this Panzer Dragoon Zwei remake...

A sad day. :(

May your Sunday be filled with CRTs #ブラウン管テレビ

Best cover or best cover?

Does this trigger a memory for anyone else?
