For people who didn't grow up in southeast Michigan, Dearborn (very near Detroit) has a large population of people from the middle east, including many Iraqi refugees. Yes. People made refugees by USA invading Iraq twice. So if you were wondering why they are doing this in Dearborn, now you know.

So it's not a total loss, I cut out all five video game commercials from the 5.5 hours of off-the-air nonsense on this tape. Enjoy video game commercials from 25 years ago. I kind of forgot that the year 2000 was still very much the 90s.

The ending to the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels will become corrupted simply by Mario being too close to the right edge of the screen. While Mario will remain normal, Peach will become an uncanny jumble of corrupted graphics.

See, the “immigration crisis,” “border emergency” etc - it’s 100% made up. There is NO crisis except panicked, violently racist white people. That’s it.

All this suffering and death is caused by that and only by that. The rest is bullshit: an excuse to grab power by a white supremacist regime.

I'm really excited for more MST3K and glad to hear we're not just getting Mike and the bots but also Brain Guy, Bobo, and Pearl! Beez and Patrick Brantseg are coming back too!

Can't wait for the new episodes!

(Also very curious if it's in continuity with the last 3 seasons.)

Soul Blazer was out 34 years ago (1992)!⚔️ The first of Quintet's "Heaven & Earth" trilogy, seeing you restore a barren world by fighting demons and freeing the souls of its inhabitants. The game found poignant ways to talk about life and death.

"Virtuoso does deliver its share of excitement" —Geoff Keighley

archive.gamehistory.org/item/64d786d...
Review of Virtuoso by Geoff Keighley. Shortened for alt text: "The concept of "shoot everything that moves" applies to this game, and the 3D engine falls into the usual "Doom clone" category. Unlike other 3D games where you only see your hands, this game allows players to see their character's entire body. The rock star you play has very fluid animation and movement, as it is motion captured video. The experience is divided into three major worlds, with those being Mars, a Haunted House, and a Biosphere. The Mars level has an acceptable premise, but when the Haunted House level asks you to shoot down sinister snowmen, you know they didn't exactly work "40 days and 40 nights" on the concept. As is always the case in these 3D blastfests, the concentration is on action, and Virtuoso does deliver its share of excitement, and also its share of annoyances. Perhaps the biggest problem is the fact that when you are walking, the character is unable to shoot. In order to fire you need to stop, aim, and then fire. This proves to be a very tedious exercise on later levels, especially when it's very hard to aim the character correctly. In addition, the character waltzes through these levels at a very leisurely pace, and there is no way to make him run, resulting in a major loss of excitement. When you're trying to escape from Mars and hundreds of enemies, don't you think it's time to pick up the pace? To say that Virtuoso is a disaster-oso might be a slight exaggeration, but not by much. It's certainly not as bad as The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki, but then again, gameplay annoyances and the extremely outlandish concept are the nails that close the casket on this title. In such a fiercely competitive 3D game market, one has to recall that familiar adage of 'sex, drugs, rock and roll' and wonder how it became interwoven into a 3D game SO poorly, and SO strangely."

I don't care what anyone says;

-The Virtual Boy had the best Wario game ever made.

-Red Alarm was actually a REALLY solid game and pretty unique for what I was.

-the best aspects of the 3rd person view in Mario Tennis games come from VB Mario Tennis

Aight. Slander can continue.
