Forge is a fantastic open-source program that plays Magic. It's so good, I found myself buying MtG cards again, breaking a ten year promise to never do so again. Whoops!

I haven't written shit for 2 months. Blame what is arguably my Game of the Year for this.

Abiotic Factor is So Good It Gave Me Writer’s Block

Abiotic Factor is just up-and-down so much fun. It’s a major reason why I haven’t written shit in over 2 months.

PvdD is beter en strategisch. Als PvdD groot genoeg is, moet er wel een links kabinet komen.

I bought the final issue because it was full of good stuff. Was really bummed out it didn't alter the mag's demise!

Which reminds me, one part of your book I wish there was more about, was your tenure at GamePro. Have you ever written a piece that is more in depth?

Super Street Fighter II HD Remix was the reason I got a 360, and it's still the reason why I have mine. If only it had been released in Japan, the best version of SF2 would still have been played at EVO. Please rerelease thing masterpiece!

I'm not sure what the rules are, but if we're talking best PS2 games, where are Gradius V, Guilty Gear XX, God Hand, King's Field 4, Contra Shattered Soldier, Shinobi, Gitaroo Man, and Mushihemasama? Lol, sorry to be that guy, maybe I shouldn't be that triggered!

Always bring a console or two! Gotta work on that backlog wherever you can!

De MegaDrive was beter dan Roblox

Oef, al die jonge Megadrive fanboys, dat gaat hard aankomen

Super Street Fighter II HD Remix, which had less input lag than the PS3 version. Ironically, still the number one reason why I have the thing, as it's sadly never been ported : (

Ik was ooit lid geworden van zo'n beetje alle grote politieke partijen om te zien hoe zij waren bij bijeenkomsten. Vondst: CDAers zijn dom en VVDers sadistisch.
Oh, en SP heeft het leukste krantje : )

Yeah, AAA spellen doen inderdaad zo, enige uitzondering die ik kan verzinnen zijn Alpha Protocol, New Vegas, en BG3

Cruelty Squad begint als een 8/10 maar eindigt als een 10/10. Battle Garegga is pas de GOAT shmup als je high scores gaat jagen. Super Metroid de GOAT 'vania wanneer je gaat speedrunnen. Puzzle Strike is gemaakt voor toernooien. Ik snap de tijdsdruk maar journalisten hebben vaak te snel een oordeel.

Dear men, what is preventing you from looking like this? 😍

Yeah I love stuff like Deus Ex Machina, ID, and Frankie Hollywood. Not sure I'd enjoy them as a kid, but as an adult they blow my mind!

I love hearing from Brits what they think of the NES. I often wonder if it's merely nostalgia telling me it was way better than the C64/Speccy

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.

Just beat Alpha Protocol, it needs a remake! Fascinating narrative branching. Finally played Deus Ex Machina: way ahead of its time while also being stuck in the 80's! Plowing through UFO 50 (ten games beaten so far). And just started with Ninja Cop which I hope will get better.

I'm only at half a packet of the spicy stuff, so I must continue to talk about my struggles. How much can you take?

Last time I played Wario's Castle in SML2, I found myself wondering: how did I beat this as a kid??
