The popup Sonic museum in LA is tiny but has some nice artifacts.

Why is there no official print of the Death Stranding 2 poster you can buy? This is the greatest thing ever--but all I can find are bootlegs.

Found these interview micro cassettes I recorded in the 90s 100% sure the top one is of the late Steve Epstein (no relation) of Broadway Arcade fame. Going to digitize these and put them on my YouTube page. youtube.com/@ralphbarbag...

It seems @xenotilt.bsky.social has hit some kind of milestone.

Yelp has a lot of photos of the Hollywood & Highland location. Look at this setup, how awkward! www.yelp.com/biz_photos/u...

For $50, this Gourmia pizza oven is incredible. PROTIP: cut the Trader Joe’s dough ball in half. There’s enough there for two 12 inch pizzas. Otherwise, it’s too thick for a New York style pie.

I searched for my name in VGHF's magazine archives and in addition to articles I wrote a billion years ago, I saw my name in a random screenshot of Usenet in a 1995 issue of PC Gamer. archive.gamehistory.org/item/d0fdc97...

I think this is the setup my local arcade had for 4 player Cadash. My local arcade always had the hottest, most obscure stuff. Every time I listen to some podcast and guests say they never saw X cabinet...I'm just like, yeah I played it at the Methuen Mall Dream Machine in the '80s/'90s.

Just hit a 100% reproducible showstopping bug in Alien Rogue Incursion for PSVR2. Every time I trigger the decontamination sequence here, the game hangs. My save is totally useless now. It sucks because I was really enjoying the game.

Didn’t realize I played that much Baldur’s Gate! Elden Ring might have caught up to it if I didn’t quit before the final boss.

He was INSTRUMENTAL in DEMON’S TILT and therefore @xenotilt.bsky.social ‘s success. He championed the game and opened so many doors for us. He even made us this mock up Japanese box art as a fan.
