Peak cinema.

I saw Jaws for the first time two years ago in a theater and it's such a good movie.

Please help my friend Shaun out if you have the means to do so!

That's why I had to make a GoFundMe. I'm still looking for work on a daily basis, and applying everywhere I can. I hate to ask for help, because I've always found a way to make things work. But right now? I feel helpless, lost, and scared.

I recently bought 2 and 3 on Wii so I could play the superior version.

Ninjas are so back!

BareBigBoss @barebigboss.bsky.social · Aug 2

It's awesome! Have you tried the Shinobi demo, too? It's a transcendent experience.

That's some smart shit.

I've been looking for it forever and finally nabbed a copy. I will be getting it in August!

I see Streets of Rage 2. Respect.

I think I like the SNES more overall, but I always rooted for the Genesis because it felt like the underdog. Also, it has Rocket Knight Adventures, the best game ever.

Chill vibes are always a plus, but better navigation tools and a quest log would have helped Everdeep Aurora truly shine. #EverdeepAurora

REVIEW / Everdeep Aurora (Switch) - That VideoGame Blog

Everdeep Aurora has a lot of depth if players can forgive its lack of guidance and have the patience to see it through.

Cold-Blooded Penguin, yes!

BareBigBoss @barebigboss.bsky.social · Jul 10

Thank goodness for Steam!

BareBigBoss @barebigboss.bsky.social · Jul 10

God, I wish the remake was on modern platforms so bad.

I love Minish Cap! Capcom developed it. Its only fault is that its last Heart Piece is tied to a crane game that takes so long to complete. I usually just skip that one.

But does it include members of S.T.A.R.S.?

BareBigBoss @barebigboss.bsky.social · Jul 3

BareBigBoss @barebigboss.bsky.social · Jul 2

Feel the same way. OG is a great concept but gets bogged down by passages that go nowhere. Zero Mission is the definitive way to experience.

Updates on this because people should know: Escapist Slack is gone. Freelancers are locked out of CMS. Gamurs made no attempt to notify them of changes.

Contracts have been passed on to the new owners (still not named), but no writer has been told when or even if the new owners will be in touch.

Christopher Baggett @jcbaggee.thehomeworld.net · Jul 1

Surprised no one has been posting about this, but yeah, GAMURS told their team in the literal dead of the night (around 11PM ET) that it had sold The Escapist.

Much like with Dot, no mention of who bought it or what would happen to the existing staff.

Sonic 3 because it was the only one I was good at.

BareBigBoss @barebigboss.bsky.social · Jun 26

I love this movie.

BareBigBoss @barebigboss.bsky.social · Jun 25

There will be dancing in the streets.

Baby baskets! The horror!
