The Boondocks got delisted from Apple TV, so I can no longer buy the complete series. So, that's wack.

That time I was actually able to get a seat at the Kirby Cafe. Only because the pandemic had kept everyone home. I asked for a table and the lady asked me “do you have a reservation?” There was only one other person in the entire place.

Did I ever share this video of Takenobu Mitsuyoshi signing the Virtua Fighter 2 soundtrack? He loves this stuff haha.

One of the most underrated pop songs of the 80s. Wendy & Lisa’s (of Prince’s Revolution) ‘Waterfall.’ youtu.be/mdfAhCG3oDo?...

As someone now way too familiar with all of the EGM covers, that is absolutely one of my favorites.

We did TWO ME covers over at Play—one for the mag and one for Girls of Gaming—but neither was nearly as good.

At the gym and need to block out The Village People’ ‘YMCA’ on the sound gym’s system. My only recourse.

From @designroom.site and @mattleone.bsky.social re: #MirrorsEdge. "We always got pressure to put sequels and known licenses on covers."

Yeah. By that point the game had hit a half dozen covers, but I think our cover, based on a sketch I did, was the hotness. www.designroom.site/mirrors-edge...

Reminiscing about when Game Informer —pre-Gamestop acquisition— was owned by Funcoland and their editor Paul Anderson happily hooked me up with two Sega-CDX consoles (super reasonable price too) and now I can’t find either of them. Pretty sure they were lost during the ZiffDavis days. Bummed.

Thoroughly impressed with #FFVII on Switch 2. Doesn’t have ray tracing of course or any of the PS5 bells and whistles but it’s a rock solid 30fps and finally playable for me since the kids are always on my TV. Dunno how the textures hold up, but it’s infinitely playable w no compromise.

I bought a blu-ray off eBay and it shipped from Canada. When it hit the States it cost me a $10 tariff. So, anyone under the illusion that all the European countries Trump is threatening with tariffs if they don’t support giving him Greenland are the ones who actually pay them are living a fantasy.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.

They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Very cool album. Hard to pinpoint the sound. Kind of James Blake-y, with a bit more soul. Electronic but hip hop vibes at times. Love the album cover and the band name 'Crayon.'

Got a second dock at the exorbitant Nintendo rate which I justify for its ability to accept dock updates (lol dock updates) and because it comes with a charger/ISB-C cable and an HDMI cable, of which I have a million but at least now I can migrate my Switch 2 from office to living room easily now.

I need to know who did this Akira-inspired art. It looks like Tatsuya Yoshikawa from Capcom did it, but I can't find any evidence of this. Anyone know?

Considering I would kill to see FOTC perform, I feel it would be irresponsible of any LA-based friends with the capacity to see this show to not buy tickets immediately.

I love the gameplay of Assassins Creed Odyssey. Such a great action RPG. I dunno how they top it tbh. But getting stuck on this screen is a major buzzkill.

This dude was such a major pain in the ass in Stranger Things season 4 and his death was a blink and you missed it moment.
