I make funny videos about bad stuff in the video game industry. 🟡
I saw this bookmark on reddit with a Final Fantasy themed bookmark, and it got me thinking: what other quotes from the series would be good bookmarks?

One of my buddies has been pressuring me to play Star Citizen with him, and the way he pitched it is amazing

“let’s ride around trains and fall through geometry” ??????

I’ve been playing Dark Souls Remastered (yep, on my deck) and i have come to the realization that I am simply not good at these games

When I was a kid one of my friends was CONVINCED that capturing missingno would delete your save data. I, however, was not so sure…

I don’t normally play horror games, but I’ve been COMPLETELY charmed by Look Outside

This game’s got it all: rat babies, flesh monsters, and shady characters spying on me while I sleep. Really takes me back to my childhood 🤷

Nintendo crossed a line. Our findings show, they have the power to retroactively block legally bought physical games from working without updates AND THEY DID SO! Multiple times. Following the introduction of Trojan Horse "game-key card", this is another attack on physical media.

There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."

Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.

I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

I'm so glad to that Backrooms Horror Escape has FINALLY been de-listed from the Nintendo eShop.

It's wild that it took several days and the creator going to social media to get the stolen content pulled down, but at least they can move on (for now).

I'm not normally one to swoon over adorable (strange?) gaming advertisements from Japan, but this ad for Monster Hunter Wilds is SENDING ME 🫠

(I'm so excited for Wilds ... ugh.) 🔥

RIP Viktor Antonov.
I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise like this hits us.
You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories

Trying to subdue the flames coming out of my ears, I will say that some of the comments on reddit were good for a laugh 😅

This show is an absolute masterclass in controlled restriction. The story, the dialogues, the camera angles, the sets... And it seems it even applies to the colorimetry. Beautifully done, @benstiller.redhour.com. This is easily one of the best shows on TV right now!
