Fair play to Christophe Gans for deciding that Silent Hill 2 should open with a meet-cute. And by fair play I mean what the fuck was he thinking.

One of the biggest killers of Star Wars in the Disney era: no one has any clue when stuff is set.

Is this Old Republic times? Post prequel trilogy? During the Clone Wars? Post original trilogy? Pre sequel trilogy?

NOT A CLUE.

I miss the days of fairly dull hardware being characterised as a big scary robot who's thirsty for blood.
For those who remember, the '90s UK print ads for Action Replay cheat devices (this one for the Mega Drive/Genesis) always had fully chaotic art direction. [Ad scan via the VGHF Library.]

The idea of there being an Arkham Shadow sequel that's been cancelled in cold blood is tormenting me. This is my Batman origin story. My metaphorical Crime Alley.

I wonder if this'll be like Amazon Go and actually just be overseas workers playing games better than you.

It was and always will be those damn apes.
Quote this with your favourite game from 1999 NOW, and what your favourite was THEN (if you had one)

Localisations/expansions count, remasters/ports don't. Remakes depend.

Two-way ties count.

How can Signalis only be 3 years old when I've been thinking about it for at least 10?
SIGNALIS was released 3 years ago today.

It still feels like a dream that people still play,
discuss and create fanart of our game today ✨

Thank you for your support throughout the years!

I think this quiz broke me. I grew hair and lost it again. I was sick on my shirt from laughter and frustration.

All in all. Good watch!
We decided to make a video game quiz show. You know, like on telly and that.
It was 1000% more unhinged than we intended.

Play along and see how well you do: youtu.be/Mm1d0ODlCNY

Love when a new console comes out and you get genuinely tempted to pay £60 for a game you wouldn't pay £5 for on any other console.
