Is it just me, or does the excitement of opening a new video game sometimes feel underwhelming these days...? 🫤

What was the first game that was so "scary" that you had to turn it off and couldn't finish it?
Playing Dead Space back in 2008, I remember literally having to put the controller down at one point because my heart was pounding so hard 😬
I was impressed though and had to finish it, amazing game.

🎮 Been #gaming (mostly goofing off) with some friends this week on the new "skate." by Full Circle Studio.
🛹 I'm digging the fun, laid back online platform for #skateboard culture fans to hang out.
🛋️ I may be biased because I've waited 15years for this, but the #earlyaccess really shows potential!

And hey, sometimes just a casual walk, a few blocks away from home, can lead to surprise views that would most commonly be seen in a movie by most suburban folks 😅

During our recent playtests, players would see the cow in the barn, pet her on the way in (because of course you can pet the cow), but would also take the time to pet her on the way out to say goodbye😆
She's officially an unintentional fan favorite 🐄🖤
Now we gotta give her a name, any suggestions?

Just finished playing through The Adventures of Eliot demo. I didn't expect to feel so #nostalgic for a game that's not even out yet 😅
This is a #HD-2D #Zelda style #game with #Diablo like #RPG elements 🎮
Each time I discovered a new mechanic or new area, I just kept thinking "This is fantastic!"

90s gaming wasn’t a hobby.
It was sacred.
Blowing on cartridges. That PS1 startup sound. The chunky gray N64 controller. Memory cards. Nintendo Power. Strategy guides. No internet. No updates. Just you and the game.
We didn’t know it then, but those were the golden days💙🎮

Back in the 90s, if you weren't playing PS1 or watching a VHS, you were probably fiddling with a tiny skateboard on your desk.
