Man, Left 4 Dead is so good. Valve was a generational run from 2004-2011.

My top 8 as of right now. I guess I have a type.

Not a fan of Laylee’s new furry look? Don’t worry, the Fur-ious tonic brings back her classic furless style! 🦇 (We think she looks great either way ❤️) This is just 1 of over 30 tonics waiting for you in Yooka-Replaylee, out October 9th!

I'm also fucking stupid, but the character who will make me buy the game doesn't even require voice lines.

hot take, they're drawing Super Sonic wrong these days. He used to be an electric wildfire and now he's just yellow Sonic.

We did it guys We uploaded the unique music / battles from the stream on the bottom of the page here if you want to check it out! undertale.com/10/

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

> rate Sonic games based only on stories? I don't really come to this series for that but okay~!

we’re bringing this vibe back

We got older, but we're still young We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up

This is one of my favorite things I've ever seen.

Man, that was a great night.

You know you must be strong and hold your own 'cause the power's on your side The enemy will try to give you fear But you never run or hide And we'll come running to your side We will protect you from your fright All of us are on your side We'll take them, we'll take them down FIGHT

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

It took all summer, but I finally unlocked Peepa.

I'll always be a Sega kid. The Genesis was my first. I owned a Saturn when my age was still in the single digits and knew literally nobody else who did. The Dreamcast is my favorite video game console of all time. And yet. The answer to this question is the Nintendo 64.

This thread is magnificent. Maybe some day I'll tell y'all about the Full House fanfic I wrote when I was 11.

i remain resolute in my confidence we will win and it will be because we stuck together. dooming and fatalism is not how any of us will get out of this mess. i’m saying this as a veteran climate journalist who is a trans woman. if i have more hope than you, think of what that says about your view

2024: Astro Bot 2025: Donkey Kong Bananza I'm tempted to slot in Katana Zero for 2019. 2020 was FFVII Remake until the SoR4 rougelike mode pushed it over the top. 2016 was once Overwatch, but that game no longer exists. 2005 was WWE SD! vs. RAW until I played Ninja Gaiden last year.

So the way I see it, the clearest dividing line between what Sonic *was* and what he became is actually Sonic Adventure 2. Especially in terms of game design. That's where the series really started to hyper-focus on stylishly blasting through a stage as quickly as possible, *and* ranking you for it.

I was listening to Don Henley's original, but I'll forever associate the Ataris' with this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T3x...

I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone <3

Uncultured anime fan moment: I thought "Let's Kick It Up" from the Digimon soundtrack was playing at the gym. Had to music match to figure out what it actually was.

The one winged angel screams It fuels my hopes and dreams THE BEST BOUT MACHINE~!

Oh, of course I was expecting it! Every series did that with the 3D leap, no reason to expect Sonic to be any different, and even if there was, it came out in Japan almost a year before we got it here so there's no way I'd have gone in not knowing.

> Hot Take: Sonic could surpass Mario if it wasn't a toddler-focused, nostalgia-pandering husk of its former self. Yeah! They need to stop trying to appeal to toddlers with garbage like Shadow and the Chao, and get back to appealing to cool teenagers like they did when I was a toddler!

> Is "intellect and romance vs. brute force and cynicism" a reference to something, or did you come up with it on your own? I got it from Craig Ferguson, and his explanation as to why Doctor Who was "so beloved by geeks and nerds":

I know being critical of media is important, but I can't fathom being one of those content creators who gets big off of being negative and feels obligated to make relentless dissatisfaction their entire brand. I know algorithms favor negativity but what a Faustian bargain. Makes me cringe a lil bit

Panzer Dragoon "It's a really cool game." ―Nobody in particular

Mario Kart World is one of the better Mario Kart games and people were too mean to it. That said Mario Kart even at its best is just pretty good. It didn't even have Bumper the badger, Hasty the moose or Ryo Hazuki the human.

Opal is here to help.

like a lot of people I bought the DK Island DLC, booted it up, tried it for a round, and went "well okay." saw dunkey's video today, booted it up again but *with intent* this time, and yeah. this thing's pretty amazing

Intellect and romance will - eventually - triumph over brute force and cynicism. But we're all going to have to be very brave. It's only going to get harder from here.

I find a lot of strength in this song right now, and its message has never felt so relevant: youtu.be/9OZ-yNdKw3o?...

Easily one of the best, most authentic versions of "the thing in video game form" ever. And it's actually a *fun* video game, to boot!

We've known about Metroid Prime 4 for over 8 years - when it comes out, nearly as much as time as passed between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime!

In no particular order: RANGER DANGER - A critique of all sixty billion episodes of Power Rangers. HOW2WRESTLING - Kefin introduces his girlfriend Jo to pro wrestling, but it's been 10+ years and she's an expert now and also his wife. BUTTS IN THE SEATS: Nick & Emily chronicle the downfall of WCW.

Though you might turn the tide, I'll hold the line forevermore This flame inside of me burns brighter than it ever has before

> Donkey Kong tierlist?

A video started, "If you were born from 1998-2002, we likely have a lot in common. We were raised on the internet, we don't admit we like My Chemical Romance even though we do, and we wasted most of our time in school playing Flash games." Buddy I was born in 1988 and you described me to a tee.

I make liberal use of the Mute Words feature, and mute entire accounts if they get too doomery. I just counted - I have 90 muted terms! I add a new one whenever a horror breaks containment. Social media is the most miserable, hopeless way I've ever seen to keep up with news that matters.
