New on the Secret Area: "Halo with chips" has been found.

A dumb back of the box quote from Maxim magazine promoting a poker video game had become a small meme. I wanted to find out where it came from.

Likes, shares and comments are really appreciated. https://asecretarea.com/2025/02/21/halo-with-chips-found/

ps visit my website it has cool dumb video game things

I made a new post yesterday to cover devolver digital's silly advergame

more games should totally rip off Marathon's art style though, because while it feels dystopian, it at least it has some goddamn colors

Decided to check out Marathon before that free trial ends.

In my tutorial run, I got downed by a UESC soldier, yet still hobbled to an exfil area I activated beforehand.

Otherwise, yep, that's an extraction shooter alright, a genre I want to like but find too frustrating to play

found out Mina the Hollower has music by Jake Kaufman and I practically went "the guy who did the soundtrack for the Game Boy Color port of Who Wants to be a Millionaire 2nd Edition???"

I know he's done stuff I'm more familiar with but that's the one that immediately came to mind

really annoying to see one of my favorite channels that posts rare game shows decide now to post videos of their AI slop renditions of game show themes

I am here for you posting episodes of forgotten 70s game shows, not your shitty AI version of the Wheel of Fortune theme!

these are not good arrangements! stop it!!!

while thrifting with my partner, I discovered some cool things, including DEV2.O, that Devo album but made for kids; Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon for the Wii, and an album that's has both Blues music and nature sounds.

the world has a lot of wild stuff in it, lemme tell ya

lord help me I am getting interested in RetroAchievements

I'm not really big on dungeon crawler RPG types, but Doom RPG was a surprisingly good one

Glad that PC port exists now.

watching The Price is Right april fools episode with Craig Ferguson guest hosting

feels weird to watch after years of watching DaThings' The Price Is Rice series and having that burned into my memory

New Secret Area post: It's Medal of Honor: Airborne.

EA, unsure where to take the Medal of Honor franchise, opts to make it go a bit weird and silly.

Shares and comments appreciated, as always: https://asecretarea.com/2026/05/28/medal-of-honor-airborne-pc/

New Patreon post: It's Medal of Honor: Airborne.

One of the last WWII era Medal of Honor games, and it decides to get goofy (in a good way!)

got a new heating pad today

the box it came in uses comic sans as a font

it's funny

I think I'm at the stage now where I'm not watching Giant Bomb's Blight Club until I see "Space Ace | FINALE | Blightning Round"

It's basically become This Is The Run and I'm not really a fan of that series

you ever think anyone who ever had $250 on hand go "ooh, I have enough money now to buy a vowel on Wheel of Fortune"?
