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!

I hate being such a weakling when it comes to pain, oof ouch owie 😭

New Patreon post: It's Soldier of Fortune: Payback.

The gore-filled action shooter franchise gets one more installment. And it feels like a direct-to-video sequel that's only tangentially related.

I have been slowly chipping away at an article idea I might go with, to keep up with my habit of covering a mediocre-to-bad game in November

I like to call them "video game turkeys" because using turkey to refer to something bad is funny to me

They don't know what to do with James Bond after he died in the last one?

I thought 007 regenerates into a new person when he dies, so why don't they just do that???

I'm so tired.

Tired of it all, really.

I've adjusted some of my gaming setup: I wanted to have the Xbox One S I bought and also my 360 hooked up, so I unplugged my mostly-dormant PS2 and moved the Wii.

Now I just need to actually play the dozens of cheapo games I've bought over the past few years... 😅

I beat Wolfenstein 3D on the Xbox 360 a few days ago, which lead me down a rabbit hole about the lesser-known Wolfenstein games, like the Spear of Destiny Mission Packs, something I wrote about 10 (!) years ago

Found out you can't get those on Steam anymore, just vanilla Spear of Destiny 😔

Anyway I updated this old article to reflect that new information (along with a few minor grammar/spelling changes):

One of those mornings where I'm listening to the same song on loop to keep myself grounded before having to go do a few things

that song? The Decemberists' The Perfect Crime #2.

Sometimes my dumb late night comforts are silly stuff like listening to scores from old TV shows

Turns out the score Alan Silvestri made for CHiPs is surprisingly damn good for a goofy cop drama show!

oh dang, I can hear the rainstorm outside

quite tranquil
