Oh, fuck yes. This is a top 3 "Nightdive baby please" game for me, so check it out if you've never played it.

Unused graphic found in the files of Mario Superstar Baseball, possibly used as a placeholder for the title screen. It features crude sketches of Mario and Luigi seemingly made in MS Paint and the text "ルイージの兄野球", which translates to "Luigi's Older Brother Baseball".

Took a last look around the cities for AI-generated stuff in Crazy Taxi World Tour before the beta ended, and I'm delighted to inform you that most of the assets are just Dead Rising/Yakuza style "Japanese developer making Western storefront and signage" silliness.

So the new Crazy Taxi feels pretty good. Most of my CT IQ applies pretty seamlessly and the game looks fine; if there's blatant AI assets anywhere, I'm going too fast to notice them. No real idea of what the single-player is like, though, and that's what everybody's here for.

Seeing the same folks who (rightfully) said that Wolverine looks a little generic react like their child was shot when someone suggests that it's a little weird that young Link is so wet. Nintendo Adults never had the Sonic 06 moment they desperately needed to bring them down to earth a little.

I know there's tons of smut on Steam now, but today's new releases are just silly. Deus Sex? Skin and Punishment? Call Girl of Juarez? The Spouse of the Dead? Gaylo: The Master Chief Erection? Marc Eckō's Getting Up in Them Guts? NiGHTS into Wet Dreams? Zombies Ate Out My Neighbors? I mean, come on!

As someone who lived through this era, this is 100% accurate; if you look closely, none of the PS3 supporters appear to mention any games.

If I wrote a VC review where losing weapons and armor after failing a mission gave me the conclusion not that I should be saving beforehand and reloading if I die, but that the PS2 didn't have any good games in late 2002, I would take that shit to my grave.

Is it really so hard to just think some classic thing's genuinely cool and likeable and it doesn't need "deconstructing" or an "ironic" angle to be enjoyed today?

Oh good, I was looking for another 80s fantasy revival that relies on ironic humor like a prosthetic leg and seems to have an active disdain for its own premise.

I don't care enough to actually check, but I imagine the discourse around GTA VI footage leaking and also Duskbloods footage leaking resembles that "HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?" meme.

It feels hyperbolic to say that an entire generation was lost because of it, but that's also still probably closer to the truth than it should be.

Backloggd started another Game of the Year thing, so here's my picks for 2008. Call of Duty: World at War, Rock Band 2, Saints Row 2, and Castle Crashers all may as well have been my Multiplayer picks in addition to L4D; that may be the peak Xbox LIVE era for me.

The Geneva Convention states that a prisoner of war is only required to give the "Big Four" to their captors: the date the game they preordered came out, the name of the game, the game's tagline, and the store they preordered at.

When people say Kenji Eno was a genius, this is what they're talking about. This, that mahjong game where you're a superhero beating up old perverts, and that weightlifting button-masher minigame where the winner is labeled "GOOD" and the loser is labeled "BITCH."

Aftermath, Remap, Nextlander, and now Respec. The "we used to work at another website and we're playfully alluding to it in our name, sometimes with a video game term" naming convention shortage is real, and I'm the only one brave enough to start the dialogue.
