Yeah, the Type O Negative and Skinny Puppy(-ish) songs were great additions to an already amazing soundtrack.
Never got the love for the PC midi soundtrack, though.

Gaming now needs curators more than critics. Steering players off GaaS treadmills (they're 50% of playtime) and toward interesting games. Piggy-backing on events rather than launch-hype for attention and a Patreon might work.
That's not ideal but would actually help the market and be independent?

That's my underrated 32bit game.
From the soundtrack to the visuals this is such a coherent production.
Game artists were (partially) responsible for the amazing metal soundtrack. 🤘

Shawn Elliott vs TotalBiscuit
Outspoken developer calls some streamers behavior "gross" and that streamers PR team goes right to his employer? Resulting in a gag order and probably reputational damage?
Has this side gotten better?

I haven’t seen the game in almost 30 years, and it’s worrying to think what passed without question and how it might have shaped my and others people’s worldview.

Maybe buying Activision Blizzard was what killed Xbox. Call of Duty is their bigger, more important gaming platform now.
How much do you want to spend on launching a console when you have Windows and Sony is suing you to bring CoD to PlayStation?
Or: how much revenue on PS is done in MS games now?

The WiiU sold out in the US during its launch week.
That's not a good predictor for success.
Why I'm not excited: it's more of the same at a higher price point.
It doesn't seem creative, more like a thing they had to do to stay competitive.

Oh, sorry for the "interesting", I meant that positively! I think it's a good way to have proper journalism and still bring in personality.

I rented a Genesis to get into Sonic 2 and played through Sonic 1 on the Game Gear, but never truly got what the hype was about
