Mostly silent protagonist. Regularly a bloke called Mark. Occasionally a duck called Zak. Full time currburr, part time IT person for a HR team and freelance scapegoat. Consistently inconsistent. Opinions definitely my own. He/They

Games with unexpected ports:
Manic Miner, Game Boy Advance 2002 Jester Interactive

If you thought having a GBA port of Matthew Smith's 1983 Speccy classic was odd, how about when that port is itself adapted and enhanced from a GBA homebrew version put out a few years earlier?

How to upset everyone, including Wigan.

Come on, it should be a proper pie, not a pasty!

I think @gavinnewsom.bsky.social should send Dear Leader a gold painted can of California Blackeyed Peas, with a note saying "Congratulations, here's your No Bull Peas Prize (100% Cowpeas)" #NobelPeacePrize

I'm sure Frans Tromers directed some lesser known Scandi-arthouse films in the late 90s...

🚨BREAKING🚨Trump did four pints of rage-diarrhoea directly in to his bad suit when he found out he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.

So tomorrow the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 is announced.

I'm hoping that the January 6th Committee are awarded it (they are on the nominee list after all). It would be hilarious for them do then dedicate it to their dear leader on the grounds that "they couldn't have achieved this without him"

Oh jeez I didn't realise it had escalated further since Bitmap Books' statement.

I hope the staff managing the Bitmap Books stall at Blackpool didn't get any heat/flak from the fallout from this over the weekend.

That's why I reckon the game's going to be a vibecoded lunar lander knockoff where you're landing on Mars. Instead of fuel it's powered by Musk's overinflated ego and promises.

I think if social media just shut down and displayed this image from say midnight to 6am, we’d all have better lives.

I have a secret to tell

MArrrk "Zak T Duck" 🦆 Crosby @zaktduck.bsky.social · 5d

From the sounds of it the second one's Horizon Forbidden West. As for the first, Puzzle Bobble?

It all depends on if you're going hard alphabetical order, franchise release chronology or game timeline chronology. FarCry Instincts Predator came out in 2006, FarCry 2 in 2008, and Predator was a remake of sorts of the original FarCry.

Dorries is nothing more than a Kwiksave Cooper, particularly the Liquorsave offlicence counter.
