While the hotline message is legendary, my personal meme is calling it "Super Off-Road Chicken" because I thought that's what my friend in grade school was saying over the phone telling me what he rented

Here it is: A piece I've been working on since September. I spoke with a ton of folks from across the many eras of Fallout – from Tim Cain and Todd Howard to Jonathan Nolan and Walton Goggins – to tell the definitive oral history of Fallout bsky.app/profile/game...
Fallout has gone from a small side project to a worldwide phenomenon. We spoke with many of the people behind the various eras of the franchise to tell the story of the series in their own words.

The original Deception has a monster creation system that I did not know about!
I was able to summon a big eye to make an enemy painfully short. The PS1 is truly mind-boggling.

So we get Night Trap on Sega CD but sadly never Night Court on Sega CD
It would have been an amazing platformer and would have had scaling and rotation features
Also a soundtrack by Spencer Nilsen

Although murder mysteries were huge on Japanese consoles, very few of them were released outside of the country until recently. I believe the first Japanese-penned mystery game to get released in the US was J.B. Harold Murder Club for the PC Engine.

Front Mission 3 is great because it lets me use a drawing that a party member's daughters drew to express their disappointment and frustrating that their father is never home--

As long as people are paying attention to Minnesota let's all remember that Sean Tillman, known as Har Mar Superstar, is a sex pest.
Har Mar Superstar faces further accusations, fallout from supporters
Another woman said singer Sean Tillmann assaulted her at his home as Minnesota companies cut ties with him.

As long as people are paying attention to Minnesota let's all remember that Sean Tillman, known as Har Mar Superstar, is a sex pest.
The story goes like this, in 1967 a little girl called Takara’s customer service number, and asked to speak to Licca-chan.
Not wanting to crush a little kid’s dreams, the operator quickly replied “Hello, this is Licca-chan!”
Very cute, totally harmless. …right?

A long-lost father, the legacy of a slain demon; it's time for Latok to wield his blade once again on MSX in Xak II: Rising of the Redmoon from 1990.
But first, before you insert a single disk, you're treated to some gorgeous box art from Kia Asamiya.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.
But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.
