The title track is "Girl It's Alright" and if you look into some of the allegations surrounding our favorite Aikido guitarist, it certainly is NOT

Questioning whether or not my personal copy of Steven Seagal's SONGS FROM THE CRYSTAL CAVE pulled out of a 100 yen junk bin has any value
I foolishly guzzled some of it and immediately got a brain freeze, it was great The pizza is god tier as always
🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL🚨 2 Bros Pizza in Kobe now has a SLUSHIE MACHINE
"let's try doing a thing where we no longer make money off the product after a set amount of time" "Yes yes very good"
Scrapple, Biscuits and Gravy, Taco Bell (with gimmicky US only items like Doritos tacos), trashy American sushi rolls, Turkey Hill iced tea.
I feel like this is the repulsive equivalent to Pennsylvania making it legal to put "skill game" slot machines in its mini-marts
The TV show "For All Mankind" is 100% my shit. It totally aligns with the NASA fanfic I was writing in 1984. For example, they just got a shipment of M16s on the moon and they're hinting that the Russian Buran space shuttle clone has weapons on it
I REMEMBER THIS TOO but I didn't mention it because I thought it was my old man brain playing tricks on me
Coulda sworn my high school had a teacher's smoking lounge.
Wait is this literally the same premise as the original Megami Tensei novel (which I've read and is soooooo bad)
Credited to Inio Asano!
COOL SEGA STICKERS ALERT, included with the latest issue of CG WORLD magazine!
Is there a legitimately good version of Dark Castle to begin with? I played it on Apple IIgs and was like eeeuurghhhhh
Does Gabe have any self improvement in #3? Somehow I managed to skip that one what with the moustache puzzle 😬
Is there some sort of instant resume feature so you can GET BACK INTO THE CAESAR III ACTION when the stream drops, or is it back to your three virtual save cartridges
I desperately want to see the usage metrics for this service. Like, has any human EVER completed ANY of these games in this format, or is the average play time for all Sierra releases like 2 minutes or less as people are like "hahahahahah no"
Hey Gabriel Knight is on here and it's the CD-ROM version. Voice of Tim Curry too! (Plays for a few minutes) Hahha oh wow Gabriel Knight the character sure does not age well
Can I please have $5M so I can do a modern reboot of Manhunter New York (cries)
Premium 90s bubble Japan feel, seemingly untouched in expectation of being manhandled by drunken bar patrons for decades. I think you would approve.
I went to the Hard Off today with @allymobbs.bsky.social with the sole purpose of getting a classic beefy amplifier and decent speakers. This was there, 5,500 yen and in pristine condition. WELL THEN
HOLY SHIT I was not expecting him to whip out the chucks
I'm at EXPO 2025 Osaka and as much as I love Myaku Myaku, the best mascot here is NAURU-KUN, coincidentally shaped like the country of Nauru, pop. 12,000
HOLY SHIT Christa you are absolute legend. This beats the remaining setups I've seen in Japan that do this because NOBODY HAS VF KIDS!!!
You better believe that super dope folding poster is a hanging up over my desk at work.
This is from the best era of video games, when composers were given the time and budget to make entirely original vocal albums based on goddam fighting games. Track 4 on this whips ass
I regret selling many of my systems but THIS ISN'T ONE OF THEM
That's a heckuva book. I did not realize that Don was Mormon and DEEPLY into his faith to the point where he states the failure of his films is due to his relationship with God not being good enough 😅
Oh oh oh oh. Finally gonna crank this and see if @jeffgerstmann.com is justified. No bonus tracks on the Japanese release though, boooo
This book also goes into how everyone got pissed off at Don Bluth (who has an awesome autobiography too!) for leaning too hard into rotoscoping at Disney, but Bluth's book mentions how he constantly could not find enough animators who could realistically draw humans, plus he had no budget lol
Bill wound up being THE "live action talking animal" animator, working on Babe, Cats & Dogs, and a ton of other R&H gigs before escaping the VFX meltdown to academia. Book is a little pricey on Amazon but I dug it.
Bill was one of the earliest guys doing 2D+CG hybrid work, rigging an SGI IRIS workstation to a plotter that would draw straight onto animation paper. This book has so many crazy stories it's ridiculous (including going to the Philippines where his ink & paint work was done under armed guards).
ANIMATION NERDS! Bill Kroyer (Ferngully, TRON, Rhythm & Hues) wrote an autobiography and it's awesome! Bill started doing 2D for Disney and was a huge CG pioneer, blindly keying in XYZ and rotation coordinates for every object on the screen in every frame in TRON like an absolute madman.🧵
It's also made with the cooperation of JR East so it's all scientifically feasible to drive a headless rescue train backwards and couple it to ANOTHER train....???
If you are a Densha De Go sicko, I highly recommend BULLET TRAIN EXPLOSION, in which trains do things that trains should never, ever do (also please watch the original 1976 BULLET TRAIN with Takakura Ken and Sonny Chiba)
One of the few advantages of living in PA!
Beyond phenomenal work here. This blue guy was a superstar and people were snapping pictures all day long! THANK YOU @feltmistress.bsky.social !!!
I had the pleasure of designing the logo for @17-bit.bsky.social’s incredible new game Awaysis. A more illustrative approach than typographical the details were intended to echo Satoshi Matsuura’s amazing character designs (one of which @feltmistress.bsky.social has brought to life - see last pic).
HOLY SMOKES WHAT A MADHOUSE. Thank you everyone from coming out and playing!!! Geez you guys go hard, all the stations were packed with 4-player groups until closing!
IT'S BITSUMMIT DAY! Please play our cool dungeon brawler AWAYSIS, we're on the third floor in front of Nintendo! Four-player co-op stations and spectacular gachagacha prizes!!!
Man I remember when games were GOOD
I swear he does the same thing on RRRRAIDEN
Uchida rules! Some of the most fun I've ever had playing co-op beat em ups. Dynamite Cop is one of my favorites.
After a period of absolutely nothing being available on Amazon Japan, there are now some Nintendo-branded ones from Samsung in 256gb in the 6000 yen range. Maybe worth it if you are running out, though my Switch library is predominantly EGGCONSOLE releases and retro filth
Aw man, and we wound up getting Pilot Kids (?) by Psikyo (???)
Dang they got the real Dirty Pair to show up
They killed XNA a few months before our XNA game was going to ship, ha ha ha that was fun, we all have fun here
Ohhh this sucks. They had a ton of pinball in the basement and a fully working GOLLY! GHOST from Namco.
God in heaven, what a location. Anytime I was in Shibuya I'd zip up to 3F and binge Daytona 2 which was set to 20 laps! Absolute kings.
YO THAT PLACE HAS THE SAUCE
Ah!!! This reminds me, a buddy of mine was interviewing Suzuki in 2000 about some unrelated game when he mentioned that Virtua Cop 2 had come out that same day on Dreamcast. Suzuki was FURIOUS and was like "That's MY game! They can't rerelease that without telling me!" So yeah, that seems on brand.
It's incredible how few Megalos are left, the only one I can place is the one in the Sega Japan lobby

So I managed to dig up Kojima's and the powers that be let him put his address on it. That's the front of Shinkawa's card on the left. This would have been from 2001 or so.
"What? That can't be right." "Oh holy shit"
I actually saw a post somewhere complaining that 4DX on F1 was totally abusive and was mostly rumble instead of tilt
I'm going to tell you right now this is in no way a mistake. If you look at prices along the Yamanote line, Akiba is consistently cheap AF and is unbeatable for Chuo line access to the West. As for the clientele you gotta deal with tho...
Hmmm, I just followed but it is giving me the same error. I'll send you an email.
Sure thing, send me a DM.
Sometimes I wonder where my old TH-29FB5 sleeps, and if it still dreams of 2002
I post this once every few years hoping someone can tell me what to do to preserve it somehow: This is a BitBoys Oy Pyramid3D card, casually given to me by John Carmack back on 1999 when I was interviewing him for Quake 3. I remember him commenting that it wasn't very good. (No drivers, obviously.)
Asking some serious spring cleaning questions, like "how many meters of TOSlink are you realistically going to need before you are six feet underground"
What what what which one
I've always been of the opinion that said track should be impossible on the hardware AND YET
Dammit autocorrect, that's HEIANKYO ALIEN, go fall in a pit
I vaguely remember a making-of video where Billy Bob was going off on the deadly creatures in his own life, personally; I think they were veiled references to his wife
I got stuck in Brandish 1 on PSP but I had a damn good time getting to that point, I felt like I was playing a weird Apple IIGS game. I wish they would have remade the second one! Or maybe I should just go in on the original hardware like a true sicko
I have decided that modern video games are bad because they don't have enough pits Please reply with your favorite classic game that has pits, mine is Heinankyo Alien
When I saw the Pixar Cars guy rolling down the street I shot coffee out my nose
maps.app.goo.gl/KKLzc1pPQuMF... Here's those fun guys!
Ahhh the Konami Building is still there! You can check it out if you go to the Ikea. Now it belongs to... (Drum roll) a cult!!!
I saw a naked board for sale at BEEP a while back and I was going crazy trying to figure what it was, I knew there was a Saturn controller adapter but the PCX2 chip was confusing the hell out of me, I was like "this isn't a NV1 or anything, why the hell is there a 3D chip on here!?"
These are awesome. I LOVED the earlier ICOM stuff (Uninvited, Deja Vu, Shadowgate). I cannot imagine how wild it must have been back in the day working on early CD-ROM stuff. Making test discs must have been abhorrently expensive, I assume they used 650MB+ hard drives as CD emulators!?
Awesome, I...erm, my friend says "cool cool let me make 2rdered"
Did they keep Murdered Soul Suspect? Asking for a friend ...Who worked on Murdered Soul Suspect
Oh I remember this, the guy who made this was clearly going for it and I respect that BRUDUS WINS
Oh I found one of these at a backwoods Hard Off a while back. I could not figure out for the life of me what the removable panel in the center was for! Also it was a chonky boi
(Also please do not ask me about my Velfarre CD collection)
OH OH OH OH. I remember attending the Xbox Live launch party at Velfarre!!! Absolutely insane club, never seen anything like it.
I know America usually gets screwed with crappy box art but man I'm not so sure this time
I unironically love the end when you rescue WolfDad and it starts blasting what sounds like the ALF theme youtu.be/EM678TqwBWk?...
BROOOOOOO
Giving Yahoo push notification permission is like giving a loaded handgun to a toddler
Oh nooo, this is all Callen's red-hot animation work and Paul's crazy materials. I just set up the camera and let it go
I think with all the acquisitions, Microsoft technically owns the rights to Manhunter unless the Murrays got to hold on to the rights, does anyone know?
Here's AWAYSIS, the game I've been working on. Xbox/PS5/Steam/Win. The frog is the best.
I haven't really been able to find any more of these; Marty Goldstein is listed as the publisher. Would love to see this kind of thing pop up on archive.org, it really is an encyclopedia of 80s design sensibility.
A lot of people think 80s style was all neon and gradients, but I remember these cool stylized paintings (paging @supcat.bsky.social ) and really intricate cartoon art that would reproduce well in black and white.
YOOOO this lady knows what's up and how to relax after a long, hard day dealing with dipshits who think they're Don Johnson from "Miami Vice."
This book is THE GOOD SHIT for real sickos like me. Look at this crazy in-camera and hand composited stuff! Digital imaging stuff literally doesn't exist! This cost MONEY!
Hey let's talk about THE CREATIVE BLACK BOOK! I found this for 100 yen at a Book Off, it weighs a TON, and it's 800 pages of the best artists/illustrators/photographers of the 1980s. Look, there's Atari cover artist Cliff Spohn for godsakes!!!
I worked at Blockbuster and was quite the salesman for this POS, I constantly was renting these things out. The manager was so pleased that he wound up just giving me the old demo unit, which remains in my parents' basement
Don't be like me, who stared into the abyss
Train line building/city management game. "Lite" version of series that is nearly incomprehensible in its mainline releases.
Attention sickos: The best Switch game, A-TRAIN: ALL ABOARD TOURISM by Art Dink, is uncapped and absolutely rips at 60fps on Switch 2 with maxed graphics settings
Hey!!! We're still around! We're a thing! Maybe!
