Accurate, but Chris’s piece is excellent

Scariest != best. And if we're going for scariest, then REmake wins.

Sorry, it's a boring answer but the best is still 4. 7 properly shits the bed in the final third.

Truly!!!

that does mean a week of being moderately furious, though

Hmmm, do I burn that bridge, or do I keep hold of the matches for later

It speaks to a time when I was without console and my neighbour owned a SNES and it was thus the most coveted game of all (also I maintain that Mario games outside the Mushroom Kingdom >>> Mario games within)

where's outer wilds, you say? well, in like five years' time when i'm fully over the stress of writing/attempting to ship a book about it and able to explain the circumstances of its creation i may well update this list haaaaaa

nine more: warioware inc, advance wars, kentucky route zero, hyper light drifter, return of the obra dinn, super mario odyssey, electroplankton, wind waker, pentiment

nine games: super mario world, outrun 2, bit generations: coloris, osu! tatakae! ouendan, resident evil 4, the last guardian, bonfire peaks, immortality, lorelei and the laser eyes

“Yeah that’s it, now could you fuck around with some really disorienting cuts that bring the next clip’s object in about half a second before the background? No don’t sync it to audio, I just want the viewer to feel physically repulsed by everything happening, like their brain is tearing apart”

Hahaha, yep. It's so bad.

I definitely think they wanted to make him look stupid. It's like if Alan Partridge did a TikTok

Keir Starmer talking over footage of military helicopters, call it drone warfare

"Yeah, we're gonna need his voice lower in the mix. No, lower. Lower still. Bit more, yep."

Lord Nelson was 5ft 6in. His statue is 17ft 4in.
That’s Horatio of 3:1.

I imagine most people are in this position: enjoyed it back in the day, suspect certain elements have aged badly, not massively arsed about a new version but wish it well

They've done him dirty here - having his picture next to the ambiguously worded headline implies it's what he thinks, not that he's worried about it

It's been a while, but I remember it being quite heavily signposted?

Ratcheteer DX - OUT NOW on Nintendo Switch, PC, & Mac YouTube video by Panic

Who's ready to release a video game? @panic.com gave me the chance to colorize my little @play.date adventure game Ratcheteer and bring it to a wider audience on Steam and, most exciting to me (and the kids), the Nintendo Switch! It's out today: ratcheteer.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy3e...

Righty. I’m passing the hat again. Sorry, everything is still shit here. I’m out of money and nearly out of electricity and gas again, never mind food. Bonus! Got the hell meeting on the 10th to see if the family stays together or not.

Signs are glum looking, the kids are not dealing with it well.

Israel Epstein - Wikipedia

They’re calling him “the least Googleable man of all time”

This is an irresistible combination of words to weirdos like me and I can't believe I've only just seen it

pelf-disgust is pelf-obsession, honey, and it did them displease

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

We hold these truths to be pelf-evident

I like the bit where the English are displeased to have fallen into spik'd pits and/or been hack'd to bits

Yep. Should have put that chance away at the end, mind.
