If you’re new here, welcome to one of the better parts of the internet! I’m Earl and I specialize in creating background chatter. Here’s a copy of Psychocandy, a Wawa hoagie, and an FM Towns Marty. If you also like any of these things, there’s a good chance that we’d get along.
While digging through my Game Boy carts last night I found what might be my favorite bootleg find. The title and label really capture what I love about unofficial releases.

My guess is that it gets ignored largely because it was developed by Taito’s American team, but I still hold out hope that some day we’ll get a Zoo Keeper Arcade Archives release. It’s a shame that it can only be found on Taito Legends.

I just had a caesar salad that had Taijin seasoning in the dressing and it was such an upgrade that I can’t believe I haven’t encountered this sooner. Full recommendation.

I picked up an Atari 7800+ new for $50 shipped, and while I know it’s effectively a specialized emulation box, I’m having a great time breaking out some of my favorite VCS titles from storage. HDMI out eliminates 90% of the setup headaches caused by RF output.

If you like the PlayStation, chronogaming, Japanese obscurities, or all three, you owe it to yourself to check this out. It’s terrific, and why I’m actively on the hunt for two somewhat obscure mahjong titles.

Goodwill may not be what it once was, but for $2 I’m about to quintuple the versions of Culture Beat’s Mr. Vain that I’m currently familiar with. Over 26 minutes of knowing not only what Mr. Vain knows (what he wants), but also when he wants it (now).

Something I love about music is how it can personally develop a tie to a certain time or place. Usually this is tied to memory. However, sometimes an artist is just tied to a time of year. When winter finally sets in, I find myself listening to Squeeze more. It also helps that I like black coffee.

Ukraine Is Jamming Russia’s ‘Superweapon’ With a Song
A few years ago, Putin hyped the Kinzhal hypersonic missile. Now electronic warfare is knocking it out of the sky with music and some bad directions.

Absolute missed opportunity by Magic here. Do they realize how many of us would buy into a game with Urkelbot, Waldo Faldo, Stevil, or Stefan Urquelle? I’d build an entire Waldo Faldo deck.

J.J. & Jeff/Kato-chan and Ken-chan is just as occasionally frustrating as I remember it being, but the soundtrack is even better than I recall. This track always gives me Brubeck vibes.

This game has gone from being the play by play metaphor portion of Paradise By The Dashboard Light to becoming the indecisive duet part of Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

it is simply nobody's business why someone on SNAP is doing literally anything short of murder
It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

PRGE weekend is upon us, which means seeing a lot of game prices that will make the idea of selling off some of the collection very tempting.

It never dawned on me until now that Capcom’s Fighters Edge logo was possibly just using some slightly modified clip art.

Even as the console seems to be circling the drain, Microsoft would get an instant purchase of a Series X out of me if they gave it full and region free 360 BC. My 360 imports have been languishing on a shelf since my Japanese 360 died.

Layer Section for Saturn is probably one of the best shooters on the system, and remains affordable even after The Great Saturn Land Rush. Every time I play it, I’m happy I took that guy on AtariAge up on his bundle offer in 2009.

Now that I’m back home, I can safely say that the UK has some of the best availability when it comes to old guy music on CDs in the modern era. I was able to fill in some gaps in my collection relatively affordably, which is nice.
