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/

Hey, remember when I was talking about wanting a cat fursona?

Well, thanks to a picrew, and a friend who was willing to help, it's now a reality.

Say hi to Tonya! She's soft, cuddly, and friendly!

ps visit my website it has cool dumb video game things

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

http://asecretarea.com

Some of the things I watched today:

- A goofball kids game show with a host who has the most Larry Fine/Carrot Top hair I've ever seen
- A game show based off Mad Libs
- A "modern" take on Name that Tune
- That Donny Osmond Pyramid revival that wasn't great

Can you tell I'm a trash connoisseur?

New Secret Area post: It's Shadowgrounds: Survivor.

Back in 2016, I wrote about Shadowgrounds, a fun little top-down horror/action shooter. Now in 2025, I finally play its sequel.

Likes, shares, and comments appreciated, as always.

Played a bit through Alien Breed: Impact and my god this feels generic and not very fun

Also it crashed on me like twice and had to use task manager to close it

The hunt for a good top-down shooter continues....

the pusheen store has a cowboy pusheen plush and I am *so* tempted to grab it

look at the boots!!

one day we must find "hot dance 98" just to hear the other covers on that besides Block Rockin Beats

Listening to SomaFM's Groove Salad and this song came up

Almost sounds like music you'd hear in Unreal Tournament

New Patreon post: It's Shadowgrounds: Survivor.

The original Shadowgrounds was a fun little top-down shooter. For the followup, Frozenbyte decided to get a little Phun with PhysX.

Reminder that the 1992 Jeopardy! theme absolutely *slaps*

I'd like to solve the puzzle

mehdi hasan piker

here's hoping that someone mods Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 so it has the N64 version of Pro Skater 3's soundtrack

we need AND DON'T FORGET THE JOKER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu1KM9HMpso

look, I may not know my shakespeare or US history, but I could definitely yap in your ear about game show themes that are inspired by other songs because they used the song in a pilot

wait, people *care* about me??

my dumb ass???

I can't believe it!

I wanna look more into the modding/custom scene of FPS games from the 90s, it seems woefully undocumented

At least, in regards to some games. The big games like Doom, Quake and Half-Life are about 95% covered outside of a few rare instances.

Other games, not so much.

are people still cool with websites that have gradient backgrounds
