Time for another #RandomGameSaturday, this one is a pretty rare Europe-only Master System light gun game, and is a totally different game from Sega’s 1990 arcade game with the same title. This is more of a haunted house side scrolling light gun game where you protect a girl running left and right

I left my PS Vita on an airplane a month ago, and I just picked it up from the airline and it STILL HAD OVER 50% BATTERY LEFT. Had this since 2012 & the battery is still this good, never been replaced. How is it that modern device batteries die in like 2-4 years? Sony did something right.

I’ll get my #RandomGameSaturday in here before it’s Sunday, with GunBare! Game Tengoku (or The Game Tengoku 2,) another weird piece of light gun history from the PS1 era. The game is the sequel to Jaleco’s awesome parody shmup, Game Tengoku, this one adds light gun functionality (cont. in replies)

I guess I’ll finally jump in on this #RandomGameSaturday thing with an odd little piece of light gun history called “PUFFY no P.S. I Love You,” a PS1 disc that’s more of a multimedia experience than simply a “game” by normal standards. It was made to promote the group (cont in replies)

constantly fixating on shitty people or shitty events or things that are True but Negative actually doesnt help you, or the world, or anyone around you. it poisons you. it chains you up, it wears you out, it makes you mean and paranoid. and it sucks. refuse to do it. focus on anything else

I think the simplest way I can put it this is:
I don't think you're wrong if we happen to have wildly different thoughts on a game. My opinion is not the correct one, it's just mine. It is not an attack on your joys or memories.

Love it when someone acts like I shot their dog out of a circus cannon because I didn't like Old And Expensive Game Internet Video Guy Said Was Important. I played it. I explained why (please stop calling every article a review. They're not). Others think differently. That's fine and normal. The end
