Warhawk Next is a fantastic update to the 8-bit classic, and for those without a Next, this is a fantastic way to play it… …because it’s an amazing deal!

Posting today’s #RandomGameSaturday early, and I pulled out “Killed Until Dead” on the C64. It has you solving a variety of cases as you try to stop five scheming murder mystery authors from trying to bump each other off. It’s one I found incredibly charming as you try to solve each case.

Ahhhhh, fuck. I was kind of curious about The Alters, but they've been doing dodgy buggers about using AI Slop, then it's a yeah, nah from me. A shame, but you gotta stop the slop gaining ground where you can.

Wasn't able to visit for most of the night, so ended up plonking myself on the couch for some mechanised hope in the form of Transformers One. I am genuinely sad that it isn't getting a sequel, as (controversially) it's by far the best Transformers movie ever made.

Is it me, or does that graph look like a guillotine? It can't just be me right? Kind of what I wish would happen to some of these suits, or maybe just seeing kicked out and going broke for their crimes to the industry.

Can we get an "ewwww" in chat? Like this is genuinely fucked, considering how much traffic AI in search has pulled away from sites, it's going to be horrid for video makers in the long term. I can't until this shit withers on the vine, and gets the fuck outta dodge. Makes me wanna blegh so much!

Reddit is so weird about people sharing their own work, even when it’s relevant and interesting to a specific community! Help an indie publication, share a link online 🧡

I'm quite pleased with the new Atari Archive episode, which looks at the Supercharger add-on and its first four games. Engineering challenges, Activision connections, and linkages to some of the best computer games of the 1980s are all right here!

And like an idiot I forgot to prepare the marketing materials for the steam summer sales before our family trip… 😑 anyway, here goes nothing: 🕹️ store.steampowered.com/bundle/45802...

Video games should be allowed to fail. Video games should be allowed to do just okay. Video games should be allowed to not be instant hits but still find a core audience. And video game developers should not have to get laid off and start over every time they don’t make the next massive hit.

The late-evening combo of indecisiveness and guilt because I want to play ~something~, but feel guilty because I want to enjoy something for myself, and not for "video" (or whatever) purposes. Feels silly tbh, but it's something which happens, and I can't break out of it.

Continuing to expand the archive, we have today added entries for two #Atari 400/800 games by Russ Wetmore that never saw the light of day: Lulu and Preppies in Space. Thankfully one of them, you can play a demo of: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/06/lulu/ www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/06/prep...

This is a genuinely good bit of fun that you should all check out.

The remake of Front Mission 3 is out this week, and the in-universe 'Network' news graphics & photographs have been awkwardly recreated for the re-release, leading to confusing imagery and other nonsense. See for yourself: www.rpgsite.net/news/17799-y...

This is sobering, and kind of depressing to read. But I think you need to regardless. Seeing so many views on how AI rubbish has fucked over people's careers is kinda hard, but man, I think it really shows the problems many of us in tech (and adjacent places) kinda fear. 🫠

BIG WEEK NEW GAME GO PLAY (All I’ve done this week is marketing and biz dev tasks don’t make me write copy here too)

I reviewed Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut for Nintendo Insider. What can I say? It’s the best version yet of an amazing game. Don’t ignore the Raid mode, it’s good silly fun. www.nintendo-insider.com/yakuza-0-dir...

Sometimes it’s nice to be able to play a game without having to think about it on a critical level. Backed ZPF last year - and it arrived today, been having a grand time blasting away so far. Feels like I’ve earned it after getting a vid done. 😁

During his visit to 2K Australia, @hewso.bsky.social got the chance to chat to Randy Pitchford and Andrew Reiner of Gearbox about just how Borderlands 4 is coming along. In typical Randy fashion, some of the answers are crackers. www.player2.net.au/2025/06/bord...

Time for another one from my video archive - "Gravity Shooters" were more an 8-bit thing than a 16-bit one, but Sub-Terrania on Mega Drive/Genesis shows there's plenty more to explore than you might think! (No surprise as it was done by demo coders! 😉) www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3__...

I love Salamander's Famicom port because of its inaccuracies, not in spite of them: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2023/05/05/s...

Not only is masking up a wide move to combat folks not getting their shots, but it helps when things are bloody cold and you have to get out of the house… Not only for errand reasons, but for being away from a screen for a bit time. (Because: AAAH reasons)

Woke up and still so enraged over MS’s plan for another round of layoffs in their gaming space. WHAT ARE THE SUITS SACRIFICING, EH? NOTHING, because as always they’re a bunch of cowardly [REDACTED]. Think I gotta touch me some grass today to blow off stream.

Man, Fuck Microsoft so Fucking hard for this. If you're up to your fourth wave of layoffs in 18 months, then your leadership has serious problems and it's time for them TO FACE THE AXE. No golden parachutes. Nothing. The leadership is rotten and has to go, because it's the failure here.
