Barbarricade. The wall that breaks you back! Heh, I like the sound of that.

This is always the part where I stop playing these games.

Alternate title: Barbarricade

Idea: Eradicade. A ColecoVision game that uses the roller controller. It's Breakout, except the wall tries to kill you. Based on a mode in Super Breakout (2600) where the wall steadily moves downward as you play.

Understood. That's not bad overall, but I presume a game like Street Fighter II would have required a lot more than what the Amiga's sprite engine could offer. That must be where the blitter objects come in.

Again, many thanks to the Final Fight MD team for all their hard work. Does anyone NEED Final Fight on the Sega Genesis in 2026? No, but doggone it, I'm glad we have it anyway.

If he was that tough in Ikari Warriors, I might have actually finished it.

I don't understand how Amiga handles sprites. So it can only handle four at a time, or four on a single scanline? Because those are two very different things. I understand blitter objects do most of the heavy lifting, but they're not sprites; more like stamps. There's a big distinction.

Next time they have Garfield represented at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, it should just be a big float of Liz's lips.

You know what they say... "lay it loud."

Continuing this whole ridiculous cooling fan saga, I found a SUITABLE replacement for the old fan, with the right part number and everything. This will take- oh dear- a week to arrive. (Ugh.)

He's hungry... for JUSTICE! And he's going for all the marbles!

So I guess state laws are only for making statues of whip-crackin' redneck douchebags in the Civil War. No matter. You assholes will take my pot from my cold dead hands!

Yep, NVM and SATA III conflicts seem to be an issue. I wasn't informed of this in the repair videos I watched.

Thanks for the information. I can root around in the BIOS to see if I can fix the conflict.

He was effectively the villain in the movie Ron's Gone Wrong. They didn't even try to mask the resemblance.

The gaming laptop won't function with both a SATA III and an NVMe inside. Got no idea why. Really annoying, though!

It does provide additional motivation to reach your destination...

Correction: Yuzu and melon. So mel-lemon? Le-melon? Yuzu is this stupidly sour citrus fruit from Japan that's been all the rage lately. It doesn't pair well with the rindy flavor of the melon.

It was puke-cumber and melon. Icky! So I guess not entirely off the mark. I don't want no puke-cumber and melon energy drink!

Yeah. I really didn't want a LeBron James flavored Sprite. "Mm! Uh, sweaty basketball player with an extra helping of ego?"

So dreadful was he that when the end finally came for him, the heroes fought over who got to kill him. The pit got him first, so they just shrugged their furry shoulders and had a thimble of mead together. "Oh well! Can't fight gravity, I suppose!"

I keep reading their surname as McFelon.

Well, the RAM I ordered tested clean, so that's good news. Two sticks of 8GB DDR4 laptop RAM, running at 3200 (3200 what? I don't know, it's a speed rating. It sure ain't RPMs). This is supposed to be a huge boon for the Atari VCS, because the extra RAM can be assigned to the GPU.

Toilet... Recipe? "Take one ceramic bowl, attach to a water tank, then attach that to plumbing. Empty waste into bowl until gold and brown."

What the fuck is this even supposed to be? Pickle? Is Lando Norris Monster supposed to be pickle?

A Rand-droid! Awesome! Way to go, second best blue orb in all of video games!

I don't know who Lando Norris is, but he sure tastes gross.

Ninja Hayate Arcade: Reconstructed YouTube video by Insert Coin

www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0UM... The HD version of Ninja Hayate in its entirety. It's really fascinating how Taito and Toei took the basic concepts of Dragon's Lair and put them through a Japanese filter. Derpy knight? Nope, derpy ninja!

People say the Star Wars holiday special was the worst Star Wars broadcast. I would counter with the Donnie and Marie Osmond Star Wars special, with Redd Foxx as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Tony the Tiger as Darth Vader, and Paul Lynde as Grand Moff Tarkin.
