The 2nd annual LucasFest starts this week!

We'll be playing nothing but classic LucasArts games all month long!

Like last year if we get through all the games before the end of the month I'll add a bonus game!

The game that started my love of theme park sims
- The daily video game history fact -

Theme Park (1994) was the first major, commercially successful game focused specifically on building and managing an amusement/theme park.

It set the template that later hits like RollerCoaster Tycoon would refine.

In Horizon Zero Dawn seeing a Metal Devil (which the player doesn't even know what it is at that point) off in the distance just sprawled across, seemingly frozen on top of a mountain.

Just the moment of wonder here stuck with me ever since
tell me about a time you were awed by a set piece in a video game. not a story beat, not an emotional moment or a cool mechanic, but something just There, in the world, that made your jaw drop or sent a chill up your spine

Did you know I have a Ko-fi page?

I use it to blog about various things, mostly related to my 8bitJosh stuff. I haven't always been consistent with it but I'm going to try and be better at it this year.

I just posted my first blog of 2026 where I have a lot to say: ko-fi.com/8bitjosh

If you're still actively using Twitter at this point....I don't know what to tell ya
Grok is producing ~6,700 sexually suggestive or nudified images per hour

• Twitter (X) is now the top deepfaking site in the world

• Women who speak out become targets by users

- The daily video game history fact -

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge (1991) was the first game on which artist Peter Chan and designer Tim Schafer worked together.

They later collaborated on Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango.

Fuck resellers.

I didn't hear about the 8bitdo NES themed controller until after it was sold out so I thought I'd check eBay...

People are selling them at like a 750% markup.

Fuck resellers.
