I have 90% confidence that is Lenne Hardt's voice (PRIDE announcer, Sarah from Virtua Fighter)

"Of castle walls
and torchlit halls
and a price men had to pay.
Till men of old
for blood and gold
had rescued Skara Brae"

On the Apple IIgs this intro was sick as hell. Played it with my dad in 86 and our jaws were on the floor

These are some Richard Mark Honeywood-ass credits

They have/had an office in downtown Kyoto. I was like oh, the ninja HQ!

I think I did a dozen line reads. We constantly joked that word for word, that was our most expensive recording session.

Oh yeah, I remember this place. I took the bullet train down here from Square Tokyo to do voice recording for one of the DS Slime games. I thought I was going to be in some fancy recording studio but they just put me in a non-descript white meeting room with a single microphone and a laptop.

I am an ex-loc guy so it took me about a week to write all of the translator's notes for our mostly untranslatable script; the vast majority of the comments are me apologizing for jokes about umlauts, explaining Pennsylvania Dutch slang, and basically throwing my hands in the air

Is this footage from Half Life 3

3d printed switch 2 vertical grip playing Xenotilt

The back says TATE MODE

Got this Switch 2 vertical grip 3D printed in honor of Joe @gamesack.net , thanks for the splendid work @allymobbs.bsky.social!

The markup on Saturn games wasn't too bad either!

Oh my god you don't wanna know what people would FREQUENTLY reorder those boxes to spell back in the day in Japan

I got my copy of Gunstar Heroes (Game Gear) at K-Mart in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. Never realized it never came out officially in the USA.

Trying to restore 15 years of purchases to a brand new Xbox 360 S was pure torture, and took me WEEKS

Q: How to make katsudon tastier
A: Cover it with ground meat

I biked over to the Don Qixote and got some Donki Milk, I left the TV in my bike basket thinking "If someone steals this, I find no fault with them as a human"

I was like "Hmm I bet it would be a pain to hook up an actual--WHAAAA IS THAT COMPOSITE"

Oh my god I...I don't know what I would have done in this situation

I went out to buy milk but I wound up biking home with a 550 yen color CRT

When I was a kid I thought living in New York City was literally Double Dragon

DID SOMEONE SAY SLIME WORLD

I showed this from my wife and she forbade me from doing this scientific experiment. I think I'm going to have to sneak out

PC88 is arguably worse, I cannot count the number of "Oh NO" moments

I worked at Square for 10 years and would like to state Kawazu is a wonderful guy and showed up at work every day absolutely dressed to the nines

Sculpt some cool tentacle hair, stretch the UVs over a noise texture, hit the izakaya

WHY IS IT LIKE THIS

The tunnel networks connecting the buildings are cool as hell, sadly I could not locate the Tomb of the Unknown Tool

I am in Boston right now for PAX East and did a trip to MIT to explore; classic game company Infocom (among others) came out of here and it was awesome to see places that were referenced in games like Lurking Horror (like the Infinite Corridor)

Ahhhh you were there too!!! This wasn't just a dream I had!

I have this game and it is the most unfiltered weird shit. I love it.

Off-model Pokemon, at E3 1998 the Nintendo booth would fire out a couple dozen of these from a giant Pikachu every twenty minutes and it turned into a riot. They had to stop doing it because people were getting knocked over.
