I've been a Predator fan since I saw the original as a kid, and honestly? Predator: Badlands absolutely ruled.

I never thought I'd like the idea of a Yautja as the protagonist, but it worked for me. This was a really fun time in the theater!

I'll definitely be picking up a physical copy of this.

HALO 2 officially launched 21 years ago today, November 9th, 2004.

I was so excited for HALO 2. I bought the soundtrack on CD and jammed out to "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin on my way to the midnight launch to pick up my copy.

Years of LAN parties with friends would follow. Great memories.

When I say I want "time with the bros" I need you to know that this is what I mean.

Say what you want about the 1994 Street Fighter movie, but you can't deny how absolutely PERFECT Raul Julia was as M. Bison.

I actually have a pair of shorts with his face with this exact quote on them.

David Lynch was an ally, and an incredible artist with a beautiful mind. I miss him.

It is! It has RKA, and the SNES and Genesis versions of Sparkster, plus a bunch of extras.

'SSX Tricky' launched 24 years ago today, November 6th 2001 for the PS2!

It's no secret that I miss when we got more extreme sports games like this that were just pure FUN to pick up and play, and this one is one of the BEST.

So, turn that VOLUME UP, and enjoy a vibe straight out of 2001! 🏂😎

Here's an AWESOME photo of Japanese students in a game development class from 1998!

Notice all the black-colored PlayStation consoles? That's the Net Yaroze—A development kit used to learn PlayStation programming for indie devs and hobbyists.

This reminds me... I need to pick up a Net Yaroze. 👀

Hey, if it helps, at least the PS3 and Nintendo Wii aren't turning 20 years old this year!

...they both turn 20 years old NEXT year.

This is still one of the most badass character intros in a JRPG ever.
