NEW VIDEO!

You do not need to buy $80 games

Reject FOMO, forget about tariffs, who needs economics when there have always been games that cared about your wallet. It’s me Derek and I’m here to talk recent & old examples of games that were a bargain on day-one!

Hot take - Bubsy is fine. The 3D game retroactively made the series a meme but the pervious two games were fine. Nothing amazing but Bubsy was always just another 90’s mascot platformer that was fine.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

was once told by the "editorial director" of the company i was working for at the time that covering prime day was "serving our readers" and that not doing so would in effect be a dereliction of journalistic duty

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I hope the nice skeleton gets out of the cauldron too. Loaded up my save the other day and she’s STILL just soaking in that boiling soup!

Though if Replayee has a new angry nerd character to deliver 4th wall breaking jokes, it’ll be just as well.

Hey I calls em like I sees em! I don’t just hate for the click, though in this instance it did result in a lot of clicks. But being negative online is something I generally try not to do.

I’ve seen some of the trailers and they did mention improving things I had issue with. But I wasn’t the only person who didn’t like the first game so, I didn’t let it get my head too big

Stop Skeletons From Fighting | SSFF @stopskeletons.bsky.social · 2d

I didn’t want to big myself up too much, but watching the Replayee trailers I did think “Huh, maybe they watched my review…"

Yeah but when I made that video I had no idea it would blow up like it did, I was just trying to make rent! And was working on a different collect-a-thon retrospective video!

Well this is awkward...
Playtonic themselves reached out to me to offer a review code for the new Yooka-Laylee remake

And yes they’ve seen my video 😬

Hi Derek,
My … at Playtonic Games.
On Thursday, 9th October, we're launching Yooka-Replaylee, an open world 3D platforming collectathon game. The game will be

We thought since you weren't a massive fan of the original Yooka-Laylee that maybe you'd like to give it another shot?

We'd love to offer you a game key ahead of the launch if you were interested in covering the game on your channel.

Hi Derek,

We were aware of your review of the original Yooka-Laylee which is precisely why we wanted to get in touch to see if you'd be willing to give the game another shot. There's no expectation that by receiving a key you give us a good review the second time around. It'll just be a triumph for us if we manage to win some of the crowd over that was disappointed the first time around, which we believe we can!

Yeah if the main set isn’t all that great, can’t imagine the other 3000 had a high quality bar to clear.

Time Crisis 3 (2003 | Nextech | PS2)
It's sad that every big modern game costs $400 million to make yet fails to reach the pure ludonarrative heights of the Time Crisis Twinks ripping off their Hawaiian shirts to reveal custom varsity jackets during a daring jetski escape
