Once for a magazine assignment in the short-lived "tech, but for LADS" magazine Escape from Dennis Publications, my brother was hooked up to a heart monitor to determine "scientifically" if Quake really was "better" than sex. (It was not. Bungee jumping, meanwhile, was.)
I once got a PR that described a game as "hockey meets Hades", and I have never been switched off from a game more comprehensively and conclusively than with that subject header. The sad thing is the game it was referring to apparently ended up being quite good.
"Pete, you're on a roll on LinkedIn!" I haven't logged in, posted anything, looked at anything or indeed interacted with the site at all. Who knew that *this*, not making garlic chicken in a kettle, was the REAL secret to Making More B2B Sales?
Also, this sale is still ongoing until October 10th. I like pretty much all of the included games, but the pair of Dariuses… Darii? The two Darius games. They’re great pick-ups at $3.99 per. postgamecontent.com/post/7625770...
It seems like people appreciated the heads-up last time, so let's do this again. Hamster and Taito are having another sale on some Arcade Archives games for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, this...
Didn’t have time to put up any new reviews today, but I’ll go ahead and post this Atari 50 DLC review again just in case some missed it. postgamecontent.com/post/7628411...
I love Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration. Regular readers know that I'm a sucker for gaming history stuff, and this was one of the slicker packages we've seen in that category in quite some time....
My video on Ninpek from UFO 50 is up! This is a challenging little arcade-style platformer, but, like the rest of UFO 50, it's well-designed, fun and always fair -- even if it might not feel like it after your umpteenth failure! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCiT...

Yeah. I saw a fair few people online saying that the manic energy of the first couple of episodes wasn't really representative of the whole thing, so I gave it a chance. I'm glad I did, it really settles down into something rather fun after that.
Also it still kind of blows my mind that Combs was both Brunt (FCA!) and Weyoun in DS9. He does an amazing job of both characters in quite different ways.
Decided to give Star Trek: Lower Decks a go despite first impressions of it via trailers and the past work of some people involved making me feel it might not appeal. It's actually really good! The latest episode I watched, with Jeffrey "Weyoun" Combs playing a maniac supercomputer, was a delight.
