I make games, I make comics, and I make jokes. I also play retro games. What more is there to say?
I always see people bringing up the terrible 2016 Dirk Gently series with Samuel Barnett and Elijah Wood.
But no one ever seems to remember the vastly superior 2010 Dirk Gently series with Stephen Mangan and Darren Boyd.
It was like Sherlock... but really funny. About on par with the books imo.

The game is nearing completion. All that's left is to sort everything out ready for it to be submitted online (such as a trailer).🎮
Hopefully the game will be finished either sometime this month or early next month.

Just finished Sleeping Dogs.
Every part of it is incredibly well made. The graphics look incredible, even now. The driving is like a racing game. The combat has lots of depth. The writing is top notch.
But it never quite gripped me.
Still 3 out of 3 stars.

I finished Digimon Digital Card Battle (Arena in Japan) for the PS1.
Easily the best Digimon game I've played. Engaging story, beautiful music, fun mechanics. That final boss was definitely the best part.
An easy 3 out of 3 stars.

I just need to listen to them, rerecord any lines I flubbed, play my game, and then send it to my beta testers.

Just finished The Sims Bustin' Out for GBA 🎮
An incredibly fun game for what it is. Hilarious dialog and fun gameplay, albeit simple. It makes me pine for the days when The Sims had edge.
I may be biased, but I give it 3 out of 3 stars.

I've recently been playing Dungeon Keeper using KeeperFX, and boy is it fun. Especially the recreation of the DK2 My Pet Dungeon maps.
I've managed to get so many skeletons, that I can just leave the hero lever left on, without any worries. 🎮

Today I learnt that you unlock the final level on The Sims 2 for GBA by linking two GBAs. 🎮
All this time I thought that you had to get a 100 rating on all of the other levels.
Well, it might be 15 years after I started playing it, but I can finally finish the game! (Kind of fitting though.)

Finished Ultima Runes of Virtue 2.
It's an early Gameboy game ported to the SNES and it shows. Ugly, janky, and unfair. Crap ending too. But I had fun. The dungeons were like puzzles.
It's a 1 out of 3 stars game.
But for me it's a 2 out of 3.

An absolutely brilliant game. They don't make them like this anymore. Fun the entire way through. Only annoying part, was how you had to press up to boost.

I finally finished D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun.
Overall:
Very slow start, mazes galore with lots of backtracking. Anti-climatic ending. But a fun dungeon crawler, with a plot that slowly ramps up.
A solid 2 out of 3 stars.

I personally give it 2 out of 3 stars.

I've been playing Daikoukai Jidai Gaiden. And while I can't read any of it, the fact that it has the exact same menu structure as Uncharted Waters 2, makes it a breeze to play.
It's been a lot of fun so far, with some nice QOL improvements.
