it sure would be a shame to be blighted right about now...

No room for Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondylus-lows-laos?

i am very normal about her

well, now this is just phallic

who up kissin they weaveworm?

one of the few marathon complaints i super can't understand is that it's "too complicated" or the "menus are confusing", which like yeah... if you can't read

like these menus are just overwatch/arc raiders menus and you're fine with that, and it is almost too streamlined as extraction shooters go

From what I can gather, the lore of Marathon is basically "Somebody put an evil RTX 5090 into an MSX computer and accidentally created vengeful gods, so now we have to go space and unload a Glock into its hard drive", is that about right?

i like it when commentators just say things, they don't have to make sense or be true, just words to be said in a semi-convincing manner

incredible turn around in the four games that tandy has been in charge

computers should be cool, man

from what i gather, people have worked on a costum linux-based OS that greatly improves prefromance but out of the box a lot of stuff struggles

I don't think I have ever looked at an Anbernic device and been like, "Yeah, that seems optimal."

Anbernic releasing a handheld called the RG VITA that can't play Vita games because Vita emulators are super nascent on Android, right after releasing one called the RG DS that's too weak to play most DS games is maybe the most Anbernic-coded-giving-Android-handhelds- a-bad-name thing imaginable.

cool. cool, cool, cooooool

i hate this god damn show...

Jamie is lovely!

if you tell the same lie every year, eventually it turns into the truth, right?

just realised i hadn't booked gamescom accommodation yet...

Sorry my bad I meant, "Somebody put a regular 5090 into an MSX and created vengeful god."

We all know that all 5090 are evil.

Very excited about this.

Some really rad games going on sale and getting demos.

If any press peers want to contact Imirt or any of the Irish devs in the run up to Patrick's Day, gimme a shout and I can send you in the right direction!

From what I can gather, the lore of Marathon is basically "Somebody put an evil RTX 5090 into an MSX computer and accidentally created vengeful gods, so now we have to go space and unload a Glock into its hard drive", is that about right?

It is very neat, but I have barely played anything because I am juggling two reviews right now.

Hell yeah.
