Can you believe that the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is now 40 Years Old? That's right. The video game console that resurrected the video game industry in North America turned 40.

Happy 40th Anniversary, Nintendo Entertainment System!

(1/3) The designs for the Apocalypse Tanks in #RedAlert2 and #RedAlert3 are actually impractical to be honest. However, I came up with a more practical design for the Apocalypse Tank that takes the best of both designs.

Good Grief! Can you believe it's been 75 years since the Peanuts comic strip made its debut in 7 American newspapers? Since then, Peanuts has become a force to be reckoned with, even after the death of Charles M Schulz in 2000.

Happy 75th Anniversary, Charlie Brown!

#Swordtember reaches its conclusion with this final set of swords!

If RuneScape's Dragon Longsword can be red in colour, then MapleStory's Red Katana makes sense.

Why would the MapleStory producers name a sword after a Greek city? Just why?

Does any Miitopia fan still remember the Chopper Sword?

Tiberium. A highly valuable but radioactive mineral that turned living things into all sorts of mutated life forms, including visceroids. Many living things ended up dying from Tiberium radiation poisoning instead. That's why the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) consider it bad.

If there was one operating system that deserves respect just like Windows XP and Windows 7, it has to be Windows 10. Not only did this Windows operating system helped to rebuild Microsoft's reputation after the Windows 8 fiasco, it made Microsoft fans forgive Microsoft for said fiasco.

#Swordtember continues with yet another set of swords!

What would the Master Sword have looked like if it was in the NES Legend of Zelda?

What would Fairfrozen from #MapleStory look like if it was a sword?

Does anyone in the #RuneScape Community still remember the Dragon Longsword?

If anyone is applying for a job where Peter Pepper from #BurgerTime is the recruiter, #Pac-Man will have a higher chance of getting a job than #Hebereke or a Rabbid from the #Rabbids series.

#Swordtember continues with another set of swords!

I'm very sure Pac-Man would love to wield the Pac-Sword, because the Pac-Sword would have been called "The Bladed Bane of Ghosts".

The Lionheart and Neocora from MapleStory needs some love too. It's a pity MapleStory has fallen on hard times...

Who would have thought Nintendo launched Super Mario Bros during the turbulent times when Japan was grieving from the worst single-aircraft accident in aviation history and North America was still reeling from the 1983 Video Game Crash?

Happy 40th Anniversary, Super Mario Bros!

Sad news for all who love to watch cat videos. Maru, the cat who proved that claustrophobia is not in his vocabulary by stuffing himself into tiny cardboard boxes, died on the 6th of September, 2025.

Farewell, Maru. You were the original "If I fits, I sits" meme before it became mainstream.

(1/2) Hey, folks! I have decided to jump on board the #Swordtember bandwagon, so here is a comic about swords.

I definitely wouldn't want to wield the Glass Swords from Uncle Grandpa...

If you still remember the sword from the original #RuneScape logo, then you have nostalgia for a bygone era!

If there was one thing that was overlooked by video game historians, it has to be the red logo Jaleco had from 2010 until Game Yarou's bankruptcy in 2014. This Jaleco logo only appeared on the box art of the Nintendo DS game WiZmans World and it never reappeared after that.

Contrary to popular belief, nowhere was the word "surrender" mentioned in the Japanese surrender message that ended World War 2.

Anyone here misses Connie Francis and Hulk Hogan? I do.

You know things are not good in Indonesia when a pirate flag from the Anime series #OnePiece is prohibited just like Newgrounds and Reddit...

In contrast, Singapore allowed #Sega to join #SG60 celebrations by organising Sonic's Golden Ring Rush across 18 malls.

I do not have any grudges against the #RuneScape Noob in this comic. It's just that he may have been a bot user in disguise, and bots have been a big nuisance as far as legitimate #RuneScape players are concerned.

Can you believe that two British warships that bore the name "HMS Norfolk" were sold to the Chilean Navy? One was a County-class destroyer that was renamed to Capitán Prat (DLH-11), the other was a Type 23 frigate that was renamed to Almirante Cochrane (FF-05).

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the #JapanAirlinesFlight123 tragedy that has left enormous scars to this very day. With 520 fatalities, it still remains the worst single-plane crash in aviation history.

This image of Malaysia telling Singapore to leave sums up the most significant thing that happened on 9 August 1965.

Can you believe it's been 60 years since Singapore was ejected out of Malaysia? What began as one man's day of anguish became a day synonymous with true independence. Since then, Singaporeans have been celebrating that very day.

Happy 60th National Day! 🇸🇬🥳🎉🎊🎆

Imagine if Spelunker, Dirk The Daring, Shovel Knight, Peppino, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Yuko Asou and Roche joined forces to take down an alliance between fascism and communism. Looks like these heroes and heroines are ready to destroy autocracy, and no villain will be safe from them...
