Mi selección de juegos para Halloween ya está aquí! Juegos de terror y mal rollo, así como un pequeño extra ovular. laeradelvideojuego.wordpress.com/2025/11/03/d...
Mi lectura de Spirit ha llegado a la época de Lou Fine. Creo que no me convence tanto, pero a nivel de personajes llama la atención lo violento y sin humor que se vuelve el propio Spirit.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Esta vez me tocó a través de @hyperhype.es hablar sobre las adaptaciones al videojuego de Spider-Man a través de la década de los 90s y he hecho especial hincapié en el cómo se nota que el universo de Marvel se fue quedando sin ideas durante esta época tanto en cómics como en otros medios.

Here it is. I just uploaded a repack of Tron Evolution, the prequel tie-in game for Tron Legacy that was delisted way back in 2019.
It's working offline with both Securom and Windows Live DRM fully disabled, just install and play, enjoy.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
