Always seems a bit redundant saying this about such an iconic movie like 2001, but this was truly tremendous. Every part slots together perfectly. Nearly sixty years old yet the special effects look better than almost anything comparable from today.

This is the sort of wildly impractical feature that, if it was standard spec, would get used in some genius way in like three games and then never again.
An e-ink display can be used as the front panel on a Steam Machine (used for testing by Valve, will not be for sale) youtu.be/bWUxObt1efQ?...

The legend lives on
In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Fantasian is fun. Monster design is cool, combat is fairly simple but I enjoy the aiming mechanic and the Dimengeon is a great way to make random encounters more rewarding and organic.

Do you think as the editor put a three line disclaimer onto the front of the cover they might reflected on how the industry had brought comics to this point?

Got a fever of 38.5 right before my week off work. Cheers body, you’re the beeeeesssstttt
Wait I think I just might be getting sick
I was working off site today and despite the commute taking basically the same time, I guess the novelty of different scenery tired out my baby brain.

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

Picked Crow Country as my annual spooky Halloween game and had a fun time with it. It’s a perfect tribute to classic Resi, and I’m a big fan of the FFVII-alike art style that makes every screenshot look pre-rendered.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Missed this yesterday, but very much anticipating it. Minus Zero is a deeply confusing and also perfect title.
