[1/2] It's TAGAP Day 2025 – the 18th anniversary of TAGAP. Pablo is all grown up now!

Time to start peeling back the curtain around The Next Game in TAGAP saga. Previous teasers showed our hero sitting in a cockpit.

And here is the thing the cockpit is part of, shown in its bay being refuelled.

Ever wonder why some bugs stay in the game? 🤔

🐧 Weekly #Penguin 960

Though I spotted many a decoration in our theme, I came across only one Christmas Card. The baby penguin on the front is connected via pivot pin so you can pose it. The card is from the Finnish greetings card specialist Karto. Sadly, the designer is not named.

Off-topic, but this was one of my 2023 GOTYs (Best of Backlog). It starts over-simple, but once the full character roster is unlocked, tactical use of their synergies feels darn great. It takes a while to get there, mind.
Probably one of the best deals in our winter sales is Relayer! 
A discount of 80% off 👀

GMail has gone full GenAI, so I've started the process of moving everything to Proton. Sadly I can't ditch it altogether thanks to YouTube and Drive used as a download mirror.

Off-topic; The Word on the Internet Streets is that Wolfenstein 3 is indeed a thing that is in the works.

Let's hope Nadella doesn't destroy everything before it ships.

For a kindergartener, Jules has a few talents. She’s also quite the entertainer.

There’s a bonus panel in honor of @skullpizza.bsky.social who had a birthday last week. Give him a follow and check out his comics here and on Tiny View.

Off-topic; That other site broke down, again. This time in a way that instead of people's posts, "Following" keeps showing just their replies to posts of others.

Thanks to that, all I saw was an industry person I followed having a, um, 'twitter moment' in replies of others.

Thanks, I hate it.

🐧 Weekly #Penguin 959

2026 starts with a fun vintage, wooden string puppet penguin. To my surprise, it turns out to be a vintage collectible made by M. Gschnitzer Co. of Austria, who have been doing all kinds of wood puppets since 1800s.

Coincidentally, today marks 15 years since starting VO by posting my first audio on Newgrounds. It sucked but like 3 people said something nice so I kept going. Never doubt how much you can encourage someone, and make whatever you want because even us idiots can get lucky.

A new year means the 14th annual Penguin DT 'Games of the Year' picks, chosen from the games we played and loved last year.

There were so many crazy good games in my playlist last year that I had real trouble trying to rank them.

Since Nadella is having a moment because of this - and since I personally think he is a personification almost everything wrong with computer industry - I decided to change the 'Xbox' controller option to the more appropriate #Microslop.

BTW, this is from TAGAP X menus. First screenshot, I guess?

First news for 2026; I'm re-starting 'making of' blog feature - for TAGAP X now that it is announced and it is easier to speak of the nerdier behind-the-scenes stuff.

Before that, however, there will be the annual 'Penguin DT GOTYs' blog that will be on Monday.

Today I learnt of a new source port under development for that other early id Software FPS: Hovertank 3D!
The developer, Havoc, has also acquired the rights to the game. He has a YouTube channel and maintains a blog on his website at havoc.de.

Get out those metal body suits, because we've officially made it to the year Metropolis is set in. (Also that shitty Doom movie.)
