I absolutely adore how the game cards sit in the system, it has a feel similar to those overlays on the Jaguar and Atari systems that go over the controller, just this element of a "Now Playing" marquee.
One hella cool and rare PC Engine model: The PC Engine LT.

Released in small numbers in late 1991 for just under 100,000 yen, this laptop PCE sports an attached LCD screen, giving it a PSOne-with-screen feel. Or rather (given its squarer appearance), an oversized Game Boy SP.

I had waaaaaaaay too much fun messing around with the physics in that room, especially the bar, but also, the glass divider, the TV and sending the magazines flying. It still stands out to me as one of the best examples of completely unnecessary details that totally enhance the experience.

Can Adam and Jamie come up with a plan to save a kidnap victim? As they debunk popular rescue methods. The clock is ticking, in the end, will Abye still be kicking?

Meanwhile, Kari and Tory test guns or cars or something IDK."

I like the implication that the effect of mass is to leave the building as a fully decked out futuristic soldier.

"And what effect did mass have on you?"

If Skeleton Warriors was released today, or YouTube was released in 1994...

There are some VERY disappointed science fiction writers who, after pictured every way that Al could end humanity and the world, did not see this one coming...

Probably the most offensive thing about them is that they're not called "XCrocs".
A number of Xbox Crocs customers have reported red ringworms of death appearing on their feet.

She died for our fins...

No, seriously, she gets a game over if she eats a fish (it's OK, she liked the fish).

Walking on the path, a car mounts the curb, lets two people out, I wait for them to get out before continuing, get in front of the stationary car, get beeped at because his highness should be allowed to continue on his way.

God, how I missed the town life.

I used to work with a guy who installed a Skyrim mod that turned the dragons into Thomas the Tank Engine. He told me he felt a pang of fear when hearing the theme and "choo-choo" noise.

A radio promotion that encouraged meeting Thomas the Tank Engine, complete with choo-choo, did not help.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

I like dropping Scottish slang and dialect into a sentence to completely throw people off. The inner Scot comes out when I'm around my father's Motherwell side of the family.

A kid watches Star Wars for the first time, wants to play the game.

They're enjoying the planet spanning adventures of Luke Skywalker, the sandcrawler being the first bump in the road as they take on the lowly fauna and Jawa as they-

OH SHIT IT'S DARTH VADER
"Uncle Owen! Aunt Beru!"

"Luke? What's wrong?"

"I had a scary dream... I was holding this glowing stick and fighting someone dressed in black armour, and I hit him with it, and he turned into a sand scorpion!"

"Now, Luke, it's just a dream. Here, have some blue milk and go back to sleep."

This is how the PlayStation GameShark works:
Instructions are sent to a tiny lady that lives in the faux memory card who plays the game expertly for you.

In another reality, Doctor Jax became the world's favourite Agony Uncle.

You can feel the palpable envy from graduates in 3D modelling, who had a tonne of well made models that served no purpose other than demonstrations of skill, and would never be viewed by the public... As they witness one of their peers working on a racing game and adding tires to the sample models.
November 23 1998, Top Gear Overdrive debuted on the N64 in the Americas!

The game features an absolutely iconic array of unlockable vehicles including: Taco
Glass Box Carnival Donkey
N64 Logo
Weiner Mobile with Pickle Tires
