I've seen a few people comment how they love the "Conan reference" here.

Reminds me of when I worked on Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and everyone was loving that Beenox added a reference to "Spider-Pig" from The Simpsons Movie.

Just caught a few minutes of @p1podcast.com’s Episode 1000 extravaganza. Congrats, guys!

@liretro.bsky.social—you guys need to help them celebrate their upcoming 20th anniversary milestone with a panel (it’d be @sewart.bsky.social’s second LIR panel appearance!).
We are recording the 1000th episode tonight at 6:30 pacific. No need to send in questions—Rich Grisham will be on to ask us all sorts of things that will no doubt make us all feel old. Join us at twitch.tv/p1podcast at the appointed time!

I'm such a MOTU nerd, one of my biggest reactions watching the new trailer was, "Was that Vikor?!"

Yes. Yes, it was Vikor.

Who knows how good the actual movie will be -- but no one can deny they're NAILING the fan service.

Random photo (of a photo) of me I just stumbled upon from Christmas morning 1981.

How many toys and board games can you identify?

Someone calling me "oddly formal" was such a specific, on point comment that I used it as a touchstone for writing a game faction.
What's an insult you'll never forget?

RIP Gil Gerard -- one of the first live-action heroes I remember loving on TV as a kid.

And this tweet from just after I saw Endgame is still my head canon until proven otherwise.

Looking forward to this one!

While downloading, I remembered I reviewed the NES version, I think in 1999 for the All Game Guide. T2D’s attract mode (it has a legit attract mode!) already surpasses that one. web.archive.org/web/20141116...

I love that Ando Prime is featured in the Galactic Racer trailer -- a callback to the original Racer. It was also seen in hologram form in Episode II.

Watching from the beginning right now!
Great work, @mylifeingaming.bsky.social and @gamesack.net

Worth a read if you keep hearing how “rough out there” it is in games and don’t really know what that means. LOTS of examples here. Good work. @aftermath.site.

Top Cow sent me a stack of Tomb Raider #1 variants when I covered the comic in Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine.

Somehow—over 25 years later—I’m just now realizing that one was autographed by several creators—including the late, great Michael Turner (on the logo). I can’t believe it. Wow.
