Remember The Zone? Australia's wonderfully weird 90s gaming show is the subject of my latest Blast Processing video. I loved it as a kid. 30 years later, I've gone back to find out why. #TheZone #RetroGaming

I remember the first SAGE back in the early-ish days of SFGHQ, with Angelfire-hosted 'booths' and plenty of demos for relatively simple fan games made in Click and Create. It's quite incredible to see how far the community has come!

Desperately trying to catch up on what I missed in SF6 pools for #Evo2026 before Top 8. Nice mix of regional representation in the finals. Doubt I'll be seeing an Alex pick though... 😢 Maybe next year!

Dinosaurs and ultraviolence - it's a perfect combination in any media, but especially for a fighting game! Primal Rage was huge back in the 90s, but ended up surprisingly being a one-and-done. More about the arcade development, home ports and cancelled sequel in the new video: youtu.be/TzzDmWdRcJE

Cool article from the ABC here that touches on why the Game Boy is so compelling to develop for. Back in the day, I used to make fan games with Click and Create back in the day, so the idea of making short titles in GB Studio sounds very fun in a similar way 👍

New games for an old console: Meet the new generation of Game Boy developers

This is a lovely piece of writing - not technically a 'review', but gives a far more compelling and understandable viewpoint than most of the equivalent reports on the 'big' tech sites.

Oh my god, he looks fantastic. So many throws! A good cross-up! A low run! The nostalgia costume looks great too. Looking forward to finally booting SF6 up again!

One more video for 2025! This one is all about Top Gear Rally, one of my favourite games for the Nintendo 64. It's a physics-heavy rally title from early in the console's life that is punishing to start, but very rewarding when you give it a chance. Watch it here: youtu.be/4NYXy1BhuAk

I'm curious whether other #YouTube creators think of the built-in thumbnail A/B testing tool. I've used it for all my videos this year - not only does it end 'without a conclusive result', but overall video visibility over time seems to take a massive hit resulting in much lower view counts

Sonic Blast on Game Gear wanted to be handheld Sonic & Knuckles with pre-rendered graphics, but it was not to be. Awkward level design and physics, mixed with an art style that was rough to say the least! Premieres this weekend: youtu.be/KcOcrCbwOR0?... #RetroGaming #SonicTheHedgehog

The footage from the New Virtua Fighter Project at #Evo2025 was absolutely ridiculous. The closer you look, the more you notice. The facial expressions in particular stand out to me - seeing characters grimace in pain or look surprised really helps sell the combat. youtu.be/dfG8XdOwPK8?...

Sucks to hear about the Xbox layoffs today. Particularly devastated to hear about the Perfect Dark cancellation - I loved the original and thought the vertical slice for the reboot looked great! So much good work from devs over years just up in smoke...

I genuinely can't believe how quickly after watching the Bananza footage I have gone from "I think I can wait on a Switch 2 for a bit" to "How can I explain to people that I need to drop the best part of $1000 to play a Donkey Kong game" I thought I was more disciplined than this

Can't believe everything that just went down with #GiantBomb over the past 48 hours. Disgraceful corporate mishandling of a site that helped usher in the modern age of games media. Looking forward to seeing what the individuals affected will get up to now that the shackles are off!
