Displaying Team USA Olympic figure skater Ilia Malnin on a CRT brings out a lot of the artist-intended details that get lost with pure pixels, this is why so many of us retain vintage hardware

Beep21 has reported that Hideki Sato, the father of Sega hardware, passed away yesterday at age 71. We planned to publish this article later, but it seems more fitting now to honor Sato's commitment to Sega's quality and legacy.

This is an excellent recent article that adds further nuance to Sega's misfortunes and the reasons why they happened.
It's not TK bashing, so please don't just react to the thumbnail. It's an analysis of SoA and SoJ (and a little SoE) and the market conditions involved and the practices of both.

I think about the giant Death Crimson mounted light gun quite a lot. You could say one of my bucket list items is to make the pilgrimage to see this thing in person. It’s high art. Just look at it.

Just want to reiterate for the record: I do not use AI narration, I just fucking sound like this. Sorry, lol.

Okay I buried the lede here. In the 1995 E3 Show Daily, Crystal Dynamics ran an ad that promised, in no uncertain terms, that playing Gex would give you "multiple orgasms"

Just wanted to put out to the world that I actually will take any Digital Pictures E3 chocolate bars if any of you happen to have one.
If you have the Digital Pictures limited edition E3 chocolate bar, please do not donate it, it is probably super gross by now

Just want to complain about how Fair Use is totally and entirely ignored nowadays. The material in my next video is tied to the history of MTV-era music videos, but even though this is "a work of journalism," just one half second of Madonna's Like A Prayer would instantly nuke the upload with ads.

If you've ever wanted to read a 7000 word piece on the theatrical short animation industry's final hit character, Pink Panther, today's your lucky day. I watched 100 cartoons, and went long on this Friz Freleng and Hawley Pratt series from the '60s and '70s.
The Pink Panther (1964-1977)
More than two months ago, friend and Box Office Gross podcaster Brian Schmid asked me if I had interest in discussing any of the Top 50 Highest Grossing Films of 2006 on the show. I pretty quickly …

I just think it's wonderful that Aphex Twin's Drukqs has, on multiple occasions since its release, cemented itself into human cultural relevance. Not for the high octane breakbeat jungle trips, but for the brief interlude tracks. Catch Lornaderek getting 500 million Shitify plays in five years.
