PERSONAL NEWS: After 13 years working as a (legendary) video producer for @eurogamer.bsky.social I have been made redundant in the recent Gamer Network cuts. I loved that job so much (probably too much) and I will miss the people and the opportunities it gave me, but I'm not ready to give up yet!
I didn't make the thumbnail, potato butt! (I will check the backend, promise)
Known Stan for over 10 years, really great guy. Your ass is 240p
Happy to reveal the release day for He-Man. It’s been a crazy 2+ year journey. You never know what life brings you, but I’m happy that in some small way in this universe, I helped make something that can create wonderful new memories. Never Hold Back. (Yes, that is Stan Bush)
Happy to finally announce this! It’s been a privilege to work with such a beloved brand. Especially cool to bring back one of the best arcade beat-’em-ups ever (with rollback netcode courtesy of our amazing partners at Komi Games). Excited for folks to be able to play this…soon!
Very glad to have done some work on this collection, as it has a lot of awesome games. Plus working with some great people on bringing classic games to modern platforms is always much fun.

Love the manga. They just released a compendium for it.
New Dominion Tank Police is really good too. While I generally watch the original JP version, the EN version has some new music made for it that is amazing youtu.be/fpXM2lQxi9Q?...
Dominion Tank Police is the greatest anime of all time. I will hear nothing else.
It was one of the best games of 2025 and I wanted to find out more about Terminator 2D: No Fate! I chatted with @bitmapbureau.com’s Mike Tucker & Henk Nieborg about the journey to make a brand new pixel art T2!
Vic’s Basement is presented by PNP Games! 👇🏻

Welcome to my life since 2002
Fuck MGS4
Absolute legend and a man responsible for many of my childhood favourites. I only had some brief correspondence with him in doing research for a project but a warm kind soul. RIP.
Fuck next-gen RDR2, I already got Dead Eye Jim on PS2.
Also please hire you and I to do the commentary.
Please be true.
If you pick up the latest issue of EDGE (March 2026) you'll find an interview with @bitmapbureau.com and I talking He-Man! Also lots of great insights into the other incredible brawlers we've seen the last few years, loved the piece personally.

Damn that does sound amazing, as a fellow savory breakfast man
Thanks to @pc98audi.bsky.social, I got this pamphlet for Rune Master, a cancelled RPG from Armor Project for Famicom. While not connected to MSX Rune Master, I still wanted it for my collection of Rune Master stuff. Scanned at 600dpi. @frankcifaldi.bsky.social @gamingalexandria.bsky.social #famicom
Looks like Bubsy is enjoying some time with his ghosts of Christmas past. 🤭
Calling all 6502/NES programmers!
We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state.
I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping?

As is tradition, it is time to repost the Holiday special @dark1x.bsky.social and I made a few years ago. 12 Days of Phoenix, putting John through the darkest, most shameful games on the PS2 for a jolly good holiday time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slkt...
Fuck ModRetro

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
