I should not be so terrified of the potential outcome of another country's election. It's ludicrous that we all have to worry about whether an idiot man-baby is going to have a literal nuclear tantrum
I may be anxious all day, but the announcement of a new Bill and Ted game helps. A lot.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is one of my favorite movies of all time, so getting a new game in 2026/2027 is kind of amazing

This end Dec 1st! Don't miss out on this big giveaway! Goodluck my hons! 💝
I'm not 100% convinced this is real (although it does look real - even the CG fits with stuff from the time like Jonny Quest), but if it is, the 11-year-old version of me is screaming right now.
We missed out on this AND the Aliens cartoon?!

In 2005, Destroy All Humans! would arrive courtesy of Pandemic Studios. Mixing alien tech, human destruction and explosive action, was it fun?

Found this while going through some stuff & setting up my new desktop (I can finally play modern PC games again... For now...)
It's a cool little reminder of what was.
I dunno - if she doesn't already have one, would @DirtyEffinHippy want it? (To be clear, giving not selling)
New video is up, despite my desktop dying today!
This special video is a version of my CGSA 2026 presentation examining combined, or recombined, nostalgia in modern retro indie titles!
Special thanks to @MIXPublishing and @Retroware for the copies of Rugrats and AVGN 8-Bit!
Also, shout-out to @iam8bit , @DigitalEclipse , @cinemassacre , @stopskeletons , @PatTheNESpunk @GamingHistorian , and @FrankAtHPP who all appear or contributed to my research here in some way!
Additional shout-out to @Programancer and @megacatstudios for their work on AVGN 8-Bit!

Big Red would make another return to gaming with Hellboy: The Science of Evil. With creative direction from creator Mike Mignola and director Guillermo Del Toro, could this break the tie-in curse?
