retro game enthusiasts and the wives of characters in kitchen sink dramas are often saying things like "my mister is broke" "i hate my mister" "there are connectivity issues with my mister"

it's true that its a cool weird transitional game that's fun to think about but more to the point, i feel that the steam banner art makes it look like a t-rex is yelling "DINO CRISIS 2" at you

don't feel bad about being self-deprecating as a creative! even yuzo koshiro called the super shinobi's boss theme "terrible beat"! it comes with the territory!

quick and crash was released in 1999. i think if you had asked me to guess when it was released, all i can say is that i would have definitely at least got the right millenium

excited to share that "Tough Gummy Pro" is now my number 1 favourite product name, narrowly beating the long-time champion, "Gorilla Mind Smooth"

epstein engineered the ps3's lack of exclusives to drive 4chan traffic, you heard it here first
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Well it was him and I spoke with him. There is a flyer art keychain gachapon... In related news I now have about 5 espg2 keychains, 5 pink sweets keychains, 0 ketsui keychains and 0 ibara keychains
i went to this and i'm like 90% sure IKD-san was giving out tickets at the front. i'm 100% sure i embarassed myself for not knowing what "we're closed on tuesday" meant
the store's open today! available merch includes the aforementioned soundtracks, various B2 poster reprints, a few shikishi, a couple shirts etc

afaik the plan's to only be open Friday through Monday of each week, a few hrs each day

What would happen if you could randomly unlocked one video game move to do IRL but it was the "roadie run" from gears of war... Could a person be happy with just that...

happy hogmanay. it ain't gonna be my year, it's gonna be everyone's.

somewhere in the history of video games it became the prevailing belief that regardless of genre, people really want to read dialogue in little text boxes where the text appears letter by letter -- often as early as possible, before you actually do whatever the game's about

i saw some mutuals talking about the nikke characters that remind them of themselves and i felt like a victorian coal-mining orphan looking inside a warm sweet shop

still got no idea what the revelatory advice is that the gambler from "the gambler" gives kenny rogers before he dies. "you have to know when to fold your cards". gee whiz. what's next, "press c to crouch"?
