Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

I was on a podcast! I had a great time talking to Ron and being absolutely incapable of staying on topic for any length of time... as all good conversations go!
Dude does great interviews. Check out his back catalogue. Some great stuff in there.

If you're a fan of classic adventure games, you've no doubt watched a @spacequesthistorian.com fair and balanced review of a vintage Sierra On-Line title. Join Ron and The Space Quest Historian for an interview that should prove to be interesting and little #NSFW!

Rednex's publisher has decided that me playing their game, which included 10 seconds of their music in-game, was not "fair use." Even though it quite clearly is. Another case of YouTube's copyright system being absolutely broken as fuck. I have no choice but to relinquish monetization of that video.

Hey, Monkey Island hivemind!
One more crowdsourcing request for anyone inclined to help. I’m trying to remember as many instances as I can of specific times — game and scene — when Guybrush identified himself in conversation as somebody he was not.
(e.g. I’m Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother?)

@decafjedi.com once again puts down the law and demands that we talk about Space Quest 2, a game that is better than its reputation, according to a guy who probably smeared its reputation (Jess). Listen here or wherever: zencastr.com/z/h7bjxmch

Surprise! New video! Before the chicken nugget meme, there was a band of Swedish dumbasses and a guy named Joe who had cotton for eyes. And for some reason they made an adventure game in the mid 90s. Yes, this is real.

My computer is going on 15 years (thereabouts) and it's on its last legs. Therefore I have chosen the worst months of the year to ask for support in getting new components to build myself a new computer that will hopefully last for another decade.
