Good morning

I guess when I backed up tweets, the package contained media from things I reposted. I didn't make this clip from WWF Raw and can't tell who did, but I stumbled across this in my archive, and it made me laugh.

The four-player gameplay was amazing, but I can't say I ever did this.

Good morning

Taito's Music GunGun always seems like a fever dream of an arcade game, and I'm happy that it exists.

A new entry on GemuBaka looks at the indie game concept The Eternal Sleep, developed by Locked Door Puzzle for the Dream Disc '24 game jam. This is a narrative adventure that tasks players with solving a main puzzle inside of a creepy tower.

A game jam concept gives Dreamcast fans something new to tinker with in 2025. While The Eternal Sleep isn’t stuffed with gameplay, those that enjoy narrative and atmosphere will find somethin…

When playing Ridge Racer, I noted the announcer during the replay has a tone similar to the ClayFighter announcer.

I found the role is credited to Michael Guinn. Not the CF announcer, but IMDb has Guinn as Dracula from Symphony of the Night and Harry Mason from Silent Hill.

I didn't expect that.

One more return to Nioh 2 with friends 3 before my long trip!

Starting with some chatting now before The Gaming in an hour from now.

Roll through! Starting shortly! twitch.tv/ryyudo

Trio De Ponce's album cover for Acuerdate De Mi. The "Ponce" has been replaced with the designed title for Nioh. The faces of the three musicians have been replaced with crops of Ginpu, DrDubz, and Ryyudo's drawn selves.

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry.

Whenever I say I dislike Bubsy 2 the most, there's always someone who responds "So you haven't played the Jaguar version."

It's time to put it to the test. Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales gaming tonight after chatting!

Stream starting shortly! twitch.tv/ryyudo

(art by @drdubz.bsky.social)

Bubsy designed like a Guilty Gear characters, with sparking flame effects around him as he grins widely and devlishly, swinging around his (yarn)ball-and-(string)chain weapon. He has a belt with some nonsense writing hanging off his neck and a chain around his left leg. He has pauldrons for his shins and feet. He is still appropriately pantsless.

It would be weird if Bubble Bobble were meant to have an anti-alcohol message. But it was also be weird if it didn't, given how the ending plays out.

The GemuBaka YouTube channel is now at 777 videos!

This was reached with the conclusion of a mini-series that took a one-credit look at arcade games with a marquee copyright of 1980.

This includes Space Zap, Space Encounters, Carnival, Phoenix and Gorf

Anything that puts extra puzzles in the game is a plus! An Easter egg that gets discovered and has someone return to the game later is a neat feature.

Game 20 off the SEGA Dreamcast shelf for #RandomGameSaturday is Rayman 2.

I played through this when it launched, but I feel like I don’t remember a single thing about it. I know I liked it enough to finish the game, and it was reviewed highly. This is probably another game I need to revisit!
