Facebook just reminded me that I used to be someone, including a running namedrop gag with the original cast of Rick & Morty.

Tron Ares was a little sloppy up front, but it coalesced towards the end. Legacy is still my top choice, followed by the Uprising series.

There was a clear, missed opportunity for Tron to appear, but maybe Bruce Boxleitner was too grumpy to sign a deal.

Sequel bait firmly planted at the end.

Got @jparish.bsky.social’s latest books today, but @limitedrungames.com goofed and sent me an extra Volume 2 in a separate shipment. Not sure what to do with the dupe…happy to send it back since I have no idea who’s want the middle third of the series?

I reviewed Mario Galaxy 2 a zillion years ago, but I don’t remember the character controller getting as confused as frequently as it does in this Switch port.

Just run in circles on the Mario ship faster than Mario moves, and the control stick orientation gets all janked.

Not since the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System has Nintendo been so committed to the Super Mario franchise on its current generation console: 2007 was the year that Nintendo revamped the 3D M...

Since I do have a bunch of time on my hands until my next gig, if you're an indie developer looking for some (gratis) professional feedback on your in-development game, DMs are open for this too! Gotta keep my chops sharp after all.

Craig Harris @craigharris.bsky.social · 15d

The industry's not quite done shaking things out. Sucks but hey, can't keep it going without a breakout hit.

Anyway, I'm looking for work! I'd love to stay in game production/management so hit me up. Producer, writer, localization, quality analysis. DMs open!

Retweets are super appreciated.

It’s incredible to find these Discs of Tron environmentals out in the wild AND in excellent playable condition. Barcade in Phila, PA…well done.

Thanks for the shoutout at the end of the article, gang! Tekken Advance was another one of those ambitious first-gen GBA games that pushed it out of the “it’s like a portable SNES” expectations. Even though it was similar to SNES Killer Instinct in tech.

Criminal this game never got a sale on eShop. It was persistently $40 for the life of the system.

Such a chill game and a worthy sequel. All three in the series are fantastic.

At the very least, knowing how approvals work, Garrett Hedlund's gotta be in Ares even if it's a small cameo...otherwise they wouldn't have put a bunch of his Legacy scenes into the marketing trailer. They'd have to pay him out.
