Heyyy I finally got around to writing the first Secret Area post of 2019!

It's about Enemy Front, a WWII budget FPS that's... surprisingly good???

New on the Secret Area: Homefront is a bad first-person shooter.

It's also a game with ridiculous amounts of product placement.

I decided to document all the ones I saw.

And if you want to give a person who writes about random video game junk some money (for some reason), you can do so here:

Anyway time for SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION!

I've been writing about dumb video game-related malarkey on my blog, You Found a Secret Area. Give it a read: http://youfoundasecret.wordpress.com

sometimes I get annoyed when I'm not productive every day, feeling like I wasted the entire day.

it sucks.

Oh right, Buzzr's airing a Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour marathon.

A show that hasn't been seen in 35 years and I thought would never, ever be reran, is now being shown again.

What a trip.

Huh, seems a tumblr post I made years ago about seeing an old TV/VCR combo showing Sister Act at an Oregon state office is getting traction again.

It just feels weird to see notifications for that years after I posted it.

Currently in my head: That sick slap bass riff in Animotion's Obsession: https://youtu.be/88H0PfTp9Hg?t=75

Minor update on the website thing:

Still trying to find a good hosting and domain for cheap, and one preferably with Wordpress integration for seamless transition.

Yes, I know good hosting and cheap are probably two circles that don't overlap, but it's worth a shot.

you know, I was fairly indifferent to pokemon characters.

Then I saw a cute piece of lucario art and now I'm team lucario all the god damn way.

The Escapist, which said late last year "HEY, WE'RE LEAVING POLITICS AT THE DOOR" decided to abandon that strategy in lieu of writing an article about "ethics in games journalism" that mentions Gamergate.

Bonus, Zoe Quinn herself went off on the site and Russ Pitts, the EIC basically doubled down on excuses until he eventually corncobbed.

It's almost noon here and I want to go back to sleep

Shoutout to @Xkeeper for referring to terrible people as clowns.

It works oddly well.

Not watching the thing because the last thing I need to hear right now is a clown spout the same bigoted bullshit he's been saying since 2016. 🤡

I was watching some speedrun of bad games and they played Savage on the Amiga, which probably has the most amazing soundtrack I've heard on that system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHU3wqJjwNQ

I saw someone mention Dragon Tales and it reminded me of a dude I knew from a game show community who was *really really* into that show.

I don't have much else to say after that really

everybody's getting on the boob train

Sometimes I make dumb impulse purchases like these.

These look so goofy yet I like them??
