- The daily video game history fact -

Driver (1999)’s structure directly influenced later 3D open-world action games, with missions scattered across a massive city, a cinematic presentation, and a focus on criminal themes.

And the circle is now fucking CLOSED. Found Dan Rockwell's blog. Corroboration of an anecdote I heard ages ago - the "Do It Now" ad was originally set to Chemical Brothers' Chemical Beats when shown at A-Kon 1997.

ADV couldn't get the rights, so they used "Do It Now" when it started hitting tapes.

AnimeSuki was a very formative site for my early days as an anime fan in the 00s. Tons of titles I came across & later watched simply by perusing the list of series.

B't X, Ring ni Kakero 1, Tales of Eternia the Animation, Yokoyama Sangokushi, Combustible Campus Guardress, Hunter x Hunter '99, etc.

The Internet Archive has an archived version of AnimeSuki just days prior to its main site being shut down on February 15, 2019 (the forums are still active to this day, though), and the "Groups" list is an excellent collection of old fansub groups that I can recall from so long ago.

Yeah, I old.

We're now up to 71 out of 98 Broadcast versions of the original G1 Transformers on the YouTube channel + 4 additional alternate versions. Going to be a bit slower now as the final episodes need repairs to be complete but so far only 2 will need to use Rhino footage😁🎞️

All I want for my birthday is for everyone who sees this to buy #TheMangaBible or borrow it from their local library. If you buy it from an indie bookstore or bookshop.org that's even better because it shares the love even further.
