    Preview – Every Day We Fight

    Zoey Handley / May 2, 2025 / No Comments

    I loved XCOM and XCOM 2 (The new ones. The old ones kick my ass), but I can’t say their style is a carrot I’ve been chasing. In fact, I haven’t played XCOM 2 since the expansion, though I remember really enjoying it. So, I probably wouldn’t have paid that much attention to Every Day We Fight if not for…

    Retro-Bit is trying again with preorders of the Toaplan Shooters Collection Vol 2 – minus Twin Cobra

    Zoey Handley / April 29, 2025 / No Comments

    That’s messy. A few days ago, Retro-Bit announced that it was removing Twin Cobra from their Toaplan Shooters Collection Vol 2, a set of reproduction titles for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Apparently, licensing issues are to blame. They’re now set to re-open preorders for the collection, but it’s now been slimmed down due to Twin Cobra’s absence. “Following discussions with the…

    Review – Empires of the Undergrowth

    Zoey Handley / April 27, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Does every kid have a period of ant appreciation? I never had an ant farm, but I did once have other ant-related ambitions. I wanted to find a way to grow ants to the size of cows and have a petting zoo. Just an incredible example of childhood delusions. Like, clearly, the only reason we don’t have giant ant petting…

    The Switch 2 needs a mascot – I offer Linkle as Tribute

    Jonathan Holmes / April 26, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Most Nintendo consoles have had official or unofficial mascots. Captain Falcon, a more muscular, futuristic man than Mario could ever be, initially was created to represent the Super Famicom/SNES, with his colors intended to match the console’s Japanese controller’s buttons. The Wii came into this world bearing the visage of a whole new lifeform – the Mii – things that…

    Review – Destiny of an Emperor (NES)

    Jay B. Ross / April 25, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Before Breath of Fire – years before Monster Hunter was an itch in Capcom’s balls – came Capcom’s first video game RPG, Destiny of an Emperor. Picture this: It’s 1990. You’re standing in the video game aisle of Toys ‘R’ Us. Back then, there wasn’t much in the way of “video game media,” and the internet wasn’t in everyone’s pocket.…

    The Nintendo Switch 2 Experience had us thirsty for Donkey Kong and also water

    CJ Andriessen / April 16, 2025 / 8 Comments

    There was larger emphasis on rules and regulations outside the Switch 2 Experience venue than inside. As I walked into the Television City parking lot, I had to show my ID twice and the QR code Nintendo sent me at least seven times in the weeks after I got picked to attend the event just to get to the front…

    No way! Farming Simulator 16-bit Edition is getting a legit Genesis port

    Zoey Handley / April 11, 2025 / No Comments

    Do you know Farming Simulator? The surprisingly popular series about running a modern farm with massive farming equipment? Not the Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon brand of farming; the real industrialized sort. The series that has dedicated peripherals to use with steering wheel controllers so you can work your harvester or whatever? The one that has been going strong since 2008? Yeah,…

    Preview – Hollywood Animal

    Zoey Handley / April 10, 2025 / No Comments

    Not for the faint of heart, Hollywood Animal isn't merely about making movies. It's also about the seedy underpants of the humans who make up the industry. People are awful is the lesson to be learned here.

    Review – Promise Mascot Agency

    Zoey Handley / April 7, 2025 / No Comments

    Marketing is one of the most powerful forces on earth. It steers human society, telling us what is important and what to think. It has caused immeasurable harm as it single-mindedly puts profit above everything else. We have never been without marketing, but it’s become so much more unstoppable with the increased access to information. Humanity’s downfall will probably be…

    Microsoft’s Copilot Gaming Experience is haunted and pointless

    Zoey Handley / April 6, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Tech companies are really pushing generative AI for some reason. The technology has a lot of practical uses, but companies would rather wave their dicks around to show it off. Their dicks, in this case, being braindead chatbots and dangling carrots in the form of generated art. The latest in these flashes of useless genitalia is Microsoft’s “Copilot Gaming Experience.”…
