If you thought the internet today is rough, you're lucky that you weren't online in the early 90s, where polarized internet communities were constantly fighting over the 1993 Billy Idol concept album Cyberpunk

The game my friends and I spent 8 years working on outside work is finally done! We're proud to present COLD CALLING, a real time puzzle game where you man the White House switchboard during a satirical, alternate history Cold War.

Aerial_Knight's DropShot is a kick-ass game that, despite some momentum issues, makes you feel as badass as its protagonist Smoke Wallace when things come together. Finger guns are cool again (or at least for however long you play DropShot). My review:

Brand new footage of the Virtual Boy debut in 1995. It would have been cool to include these non-interactive demos in the Switch release! People love squinting at the Super Mario one!

Third entry in the Mossa and Pleiti series and maybe my favorite so far? Great book. It’s probably reductive to describe it as “what if Sherlock Holmes and Watson were lesbians in space” but that’s my elevator pitch for it I guess. Maybe your local library will have them too
