No life bars.
No combos.
No rounds.

One hit. One death.

I almost literally ran into Itagaki at E3 2005 as he was flanked by dual braided body guards.

He was on his way to the Capcom booth where he stood alone and watched Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams in a disapproving manner for about 10 minutes before marching off.

RIP legend

The day that The Duke officially died.

Reminder to remove that clock capacitor if you still have one of these.

The clock capacitor is very cheaply made and many have begun to leak acid onto the motherboard, which will destroy the whole thing. You can replace it or just pop it off. The only consequence is your console won't remember what time it is after you turn it off.

Oh. Well, in that case... I got all the achievements in Fable II Pub Games. A game Ryan called "A crappy gambling game that also doubles as a parable about the dangers of downloadable content."

It’s not a good sign when your sports sim gets delayed to the end of the season. It was one of the first to render every MLB stadium and it was Sony’s first step on the journey to The Show.

And the San Diego connection was already strong thanks to Jerry Coleman on commentary.

A jarring tonal shift from the first game and maybe the first big example of GTA3’s influence on game development.

MK3 hits home.

It’s difficult to explain the level of MK3 obsession throughout 1995. Scouring early internet for rumors (shoutout rat.org), clipping magazines, trading secrets at the arcade, etc.

Shoutout to Flux Magazine’s @danamrich.bsky.social. Whatever happened to that guy? 😉
