Well, shit. Exactly 40 years ago this day, I walked into the ZZAP! offices for the first time to start my new job. That teen might now be four decades older, but I still love video games - and indeed writing about them - as much as ever. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."

every UK video game in the 80s and 90s was made by a guy named like "lord wensleydale" or two guys named "the chippy twins" and was about an egg with no special abilities going on an adventure and dying immediately. it was ported to the super nintendo where everyone hated it

normal games: "this is a keycard. it opens doors." Metal Gear: "This is a P.A.N. card (Personal Area Network). The P.A.N. system passes small electrical currents through the user's salt content to emit a small field, allowing access through level 1 doors." snake: "doors?"

I went to the store to get a cucumber and they were all the same price but one was much bigger so of course I got that one. When I took it up to the cashier he said Dang and swung it like a baseball bat a few times. Now that's what I call Going to the Store.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

It’s not that hard, folks: genocide is bad. Opposing genocide is good. Supporting others who oppose genocide is good. Shitting on the tactics of those opposing genocide is bad. Obstructing those who are opposing genocide is bad. Threatening those opposing genocide is bad.

I’ve been playing a lot of the Indiana Jones game (it rules) and it’s really interesting how Indy’s character has been modernized. The classic “it belongs in a museum” is problematized—Indy now vouches for cultures being caretakers of their own material history.
