New year, new list of games that I roll credits on in 2025. Some old, some new.

...but the bosses were the same creepy robot called Doc Robot and he would take on the abilities of the Robots Masters from Mega Man 2. It created a surreal feeling of terror in me as a child - like experiencing something inherently wrong. It was like playing a nightmare version of the game.

The first time I was frightened playing a video game was when I first played Mega Man 3 & beat all the robot masters. Suddenly four of the levels opened up with a menacing portrait draped in shadow. You would have to replay the levels, but they were broken and strange. Each level had two bosses...

Mega Man 3 level select screen. Background is blue with a repeated "Mega Man III" pattern in cyan. A 3x3 grid has Mega Man's head in the center and black box in each cardinal direction. The corner boxes have a robot head in shadow with a red light coming from the top left corner.

Text at the top: "Push Start"
Text below the outer boxes starting with the top left and going clockwise: "Spark Man", "Snake Man", "Needle Man", "Top Man", "Shadow Man", "Magnet Man", "Gemini Man", and "Hard Man".

It’s ghosts!

According to Mikhaila's account, Peterson's health crisis began this summer after he cleaned out his late father's basement and recorded episodes of their call-in show together. "We don't have a better explanation for his neurological symptoms at the moment other than spiritual attacks," she said in the video. She also revealed that the family's infant, Audrey, was hospitalized twice this summer, including once for near heart failure, all happening, Mikhaila noted, after those call-in show recordings.
Futurism reports that while Peterson's family believes he's under spiritual attack, a "lesser mind" might, instead,
"conclude his exclusive
diet of beef and salt has been bad for his well-being." Or, I'll add, perhaps it's Long COVID, which, you know, causes neurological issues, among many other things.

Disco Elysium screenshot, wherein I am extremely rude to Harry (who I would... maybe?... date? but it isn't his looks it's more that he's self-destructive and also wearing piss-stained trousers)

Dialog as follows:

MIRROR - What are you doing with your die, why is your shirt hanging open like laundry on the line...

What does it even *mean*? What is the message you're trying to convey?

YOU - I'm twenty years old. My breasts are juicy and succulent. I am a god damn verdant field waiting to be ploughed, in a *tired 5 acres and an aging mule* kind of way. I possess a certain charm.

MIRROR - That might have been true thirty years ago, but the plot is fallow and the farmer left you for a larger, newer, factory-owned operation.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Impossible: Failure] - It's too late. Like an illuminated masterpiece by the modern master Thomas Kinkade, your value isn't what it used to be. You're dusty, poorly framed, and have lost the fleeting, almost quixotic appeal you had in the 90's.

The jugs have been milked, and you're no dairy maid. You're the mule.

First of all, cool UB.

However, I can't stress enough how I think most people are feeling burned out by the non-MTG MTG sets, and focussing up on Lorwyn for a bit longer outside of just announcing that this was the crossover would have been nice.

Prepare to clash against your favorite TMNT villains! Here are a few you'll come across in #MTGxTMNT.

This image depicts the card "Super Shredder". One Mana, one black. Legendary Creature - Mutant Ninja Human. Mythic rarity.

Card Art: This is an illustration of the gigantic monterous mutated form of a man, his once well fitted armor cutting into his body like sharp metallic spines. The mutant reaches towards the viewer with a claw as it rushes through any obsticle in his way.

Rules text: Menace.
Whenever another permanent leaves the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on Super Shreder.

Flavor text: "I have molded myself into perfection, Hamato. Look upon me, and know fear."

This image depicts the card "Krang, Master Mind". Six mana, two blue. Legendary Artifact Creature - Utrom Warrior. Rare Rarity.

Card art:
This illustration shows a squid like being wearing a bipedal mechanical suit. It's head is covered by a orb helmet while its tentacles pop out of 'arm' holes to hold up two large drills. The creature laughs maniacally.

Rules text: Affinity for Artifacts. (This spell costs One Mana less to cast for each artifact you control.)
When Krang enters, if you have fewer than four cards in hand, draw cards equal to the difference.
Krang gets +1/+0 for each other artifact you control. Power one/toughness four.

This image depicts the card "Bebop & Rocksteady". One mana, two black or green. Legendary Creature - Boar Rhio Mutant. Rare rarity.

Card art: This illustration depicts two mutants: A humanoid boar and a humanoid rhino. The pair stand gloriously upon the wreckage of cars as colorful sprays of energy explode behind them. The Rhino holds a large tire above his head.

Rules text: Whenever Bebop & Rocksteady attack or block, sacrifice a permanent unless you discard a card.

Flavor text: "They'll beat you with firsts, with a bat, with a knife. / So don't try to steop them, just run for your life! / Get set and get ready, / For Bebop & Rocksteady!"

I wish, just once, one of the journalists in that room would say "Hey, can you show us that clip/interview?" The way we've continued to normalize the literal President lying in every other sentence is astounding.

I was privileged to be given the opportunity to write about a video game I love for this book. It's a small part, but it is an immense honour to be a part of it!

Darren Hupke 🔜 PRGE @darrenhupke.bsky.social · 9d

Okay, I’m like 98.47% done with my parts of 32 Bit Library Greatest Hits Vol 1!

The other cool part is stuff is rolling in from @hg101.bsky.social for it, and…

“HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!”

I got @glitch.mov’s contribution for the book already.

This one is going to be fun!
