In addition to being one of my favorite games, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1, 1997) is also one of the most cooperative photography subjects. Very easy to work with. Effortless. What a beauty. I wish every game were this photogenic.

#crt #retrogaming #castlevania

Richter Belmont, seemingly under the influence of some malicious magic spell, unleashes a kung fu werewolf and a shotokan minotaur to attack our hero Alucard. They go absolutely ape shit with special attacks, and Alucard leaps into the fray.

In a twisted nightmare prison depicting the lynching death of Alucard's mother, an evil succubus spreads her leathery bat wings and prepares to attack Alucard after he thoughtfully dispels her magical ruse. Her rude titties and clam are out, but Alucard is unfazed. Nothing he hasn't seen before.

After defeating the parasitic corpse demon Legion, Alucard takes a moment to gather his thoughts amidst thousands of human skulls. His faithful faerie companion rests on his shoulder, knee-highs kicked out playfully.

Finally Alucard confronts Richter Belmont in Dracula's throne room, having solved the mystery of Castlevania. Wearing special goggles, Alucard can see the mysterious green orb, actually the Dark Priest Shaft, that is controlling Richter.

Anyone know any modern parody games? The only one I know of is The Looker which is a parody of The Witness store.steampowered.com/app/1985690/...

The Looker on Steam

You wake up, alone, on a strangely familiar island full of puzzles that will frustrate and annoy you.

I only played until Lyceum because I dont want to play too much and spoil my appetite for release but the Skate Story demo is brilliant, the soundtrack caught me off guard too. The music is excellent

(for context its being developed by ex-neversoft devs)

I started up the very early WIP version of Cheapskate to see what it was like and somehow they have Sin City from the THUG2 soundtrack on there, I wonder if the band is some friends of the developers or something because I remember AndyTHPS saying his brother's band was on the Project 8 soundtrack

I also think playing it right after the base game was a really bad idea because I got bored pretty quickly and then it became a slog

I finished Doom 3 ROE, I really didn't enjoy it. The base game I'd probably give 4/5 but the expansion just seemed extremely low effort. If it didn't have the super shotgun I don't think I'd even have finished it. I'd probably give it 2/5 with the super shotgun and 1/5 without

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Spending is controlled, not spiralling

Worklessness is near record lows

My first thought is a dislocation but I think you'd be in excruciating pain if that happened

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔
