257) We used to run a yearly festive-themed article focussed on Christmas hames but stopped it due to the issue arriving so late for overseas readers. Plus we run out of good games to cover.

256) Desert Island Discs features a developer picking eight of their favourite videogames. Eugene Jarvis’ Robotron 2048 is one of the most popular choices by a wide margin.

LucasArts Posters: The Revenge

Welcome back! With the forums back up, I think it's time to revive my poster thread as well. It's been quite a while since I've added anything to the project, but lately I felt the need to get back in...

Welcome to Silent Hill.

I thought Weapons was a magnificent movie. So nice to see a film nowadays where the trailer gives you no real clue as to where it’s going.

I think it will be at least 2 decades before I consider it again 😂

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

Did you do the extendeds?

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t think I’ll do it again. Lucky I had 12 hours to myself.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks. My mettle was tested a few times.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

And we’re done.
Man that extended final cut is a slog.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

4 and a half hours to go

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

😂😂😂

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

Shit’s about to go down.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

Been up since 4:45. On the second one now.

Also, why are these cook books so popular. There were loads in Forbidden Planet and half of them just seem to have made up crap in them.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

Like it’s obviously designed to be edible, but if you’re going to copy something do it properly, otherwise it’s a completely different meal.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

There’s an official Friends cook book and it obviously feature Rachel’s trifle. Shame they couldn’t get the ingredients right.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

Feels like a reality TV show to me. Lots of fake performances and drama in it.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 1d

😂

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 2d

Just started watching Season 1 of The Traitors. It’s the best reality TV series I’ve seen since The Circle.

RetrogamerDaz @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social · 2d

Now with added googles
