Kill.Switch was the game that basically invented the third person cover shooter as we know it, inspiring the likes of Uncharted and Gears of War, defining the genre even today. It's also old enough to have gotten a weird 3D GBA port, which is what we're looking at today! youtu.be/gwRXgsEr200

Big thanks to Baxter for letting me write about the Fatal Frame movie for this! Here's a fun Fatal Frame film fact: during the scenes where we see thru the lens of the Camera Obscura, you can hear the same "spooky ghost sound" as in Fateful Findings, another F.F. movie. Coincidence? Who can say!

a couple of years ago i started an ironman character on OSRS having never touched the game before and it kinda blew me away just how interesting it is and how completely incorrect its reputation of being "a simple game where you grind" is. there's really nothing else like it. really enjoyed this vid

still kinda bums me out that it seemed like we were getting a resurgence of couch/splitscreen multiplayer until 2020 swung things back towards online play. i guess i'm in the minority but i find it way easier to to get friends over for a game night vs convincing them to bust out the headsets etc.
