Lots of things wrong with this of course, but I sort of feel like you could investigate this without having to go all the way to Nigeria. What are they going to tell you in Nigeria that isn't online? Are there shelves of paper copies of chess championship winners that haven't been digitised?

BEHOLD THE KICKMEN is only 69p, the sexiest number of p you can get! At that price, blag a quick copy and try to kiss the villain. Don't ask me how, I've forgotten. store.steampowered.com/app/529440/B...

For some reason the incredible Earth Must Die does not show up in my dev list of games, even though I distinctly recall working on it. It's 40% off! That's only £7ish! Do please buy a copy, it's funny and good: store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

These moronic Terranoids think they can just roll in here and take over my beautiful Tyrythian kingdom? The kingdom that I built from the ground up with my bare hands, and only sort of inherited from ...

Behold the Kickmen is an absolutely brilliant game. Not only it is hilarious, but it's a very fun game, capturing the feeling of a time when footbal games were simple and fun (think Pelé's Soccer on the Atari 2600 or the early Sensible Soccer games).

Buy all of this if you derive any joy from when video games are actually funny

Great deals all round here but £3 for Lair of the Clockwork God in particular is an incredible steal. Get right on that if you like any combination of puzzles, jumping and funny dialogue.

Lair of the Clockwork God is somehow both a good point and click game AND a good puzzle platformer, while warmly sending up both genres. Go buy it and play it.

KOLUN - Official Demo Release Trailer

This game is called KOLUN (pronounced 'colon') and it's about getting logs out of a big dirty brown pipe so I *assume* the developers know, but I can't be sure sure? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg5G...

This is not a jab at ND. AAA games are just taking too long to make now because the bar has moved up into the stratosphere and if you can't see individual hairs raising on the back of Nathan Drake's neck when he gets cold, The Gamers will scoff loudly.

'Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet' is going to look like it's set in the past before this comes out.

Got into the office this morning to find the last thing I had scrawled on my ToDo list yesterday was "DITCH VISUAL STUDIO" in big, angry letters. Thanks to everyone who suggested Rider recently, this is WAY better so far, can't beliiieve I put up with VS for so long! 👍

In the 90s there was a trend for game main menus that were real objects. Click on the door to Start Mission. Click on the radio to enter Audio Options. Click on the TV for video settings. I feel like it died a death because it was bad UX? Can anyone give me any particularly egregious examples, pls?

This isn't like that, because Barbie and Oppenheimer were two huge Hollywood projects, each with multi-million marketing campaigns behind them. This is more like uploading a good TikTok video at the same time as Barbie/ Oppenheimer came out and claiming you're at the premiere. Game looks fab tho
