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

http://asecretarea.com

other examples that would probably fit would be stuff like Quiz Kids Challenge, Rugrats or Seinfeld

"some guy just noodling on a keyboard and using samples to make music" kind of stuff

was listening to this theme song and it brought back memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYEb5WA9BLs

is there a name for this kind of music, where there's sampling of weird noises to make a specific beat

New on the Secret Area: It's "you broke me."

A Doom mod by one of the folks who brought you the popular My House, this mod also subverts expectations on what a Doom mod should be.

Shares and comments appreciated, as always.

Finally got a haircut a few days ago, and Folks, bev has now entered her bangs arc

forgot how good master system music was

New Patreon post: It's you broke me.

A Doom mod that's not only a technical marvel on what one can do with an old game engine, but a really emotional experience too.

Available now for $1/month or more: https://www.patreon.com/youfoundasecretarea/posts/you-broke-me-162069714

happy 30th anniversary, Quake

a game I've written about countless times, covering the various mods, maps, and expansions of that series

a game so good I named my website after finding a secret in that game.

hell of a game.

it's 4am and I can't sleep

decided to look into one of the dumbest fake gamer scandals out there, driv3rgate

and much like a lot of gaming controversies, it's all dumb bullshit

something a cynical ex-games journalist and a british gaming youtuber tried to make a "scandal" when it really wasn't.

I'm always overthink how I will present myself to others that I tend to dress more normally and casually than I'd like

Being in queer spaces shows off an amazing variety of fashion that I could probably pull off

I wanna be more bold like that tbh

visiting a furry queer market and realizing more and more that, once again, I need to get gayer

hanging out with friends and watching stuff is fun

get in a voice chat, watch some schlocky 90s TV show, and chat a bunch

probably one of the best things about the internet these days

if a dog ran a very famous game show company, would those shows be considered a Bark Goodson Television Production

Showed a few friends Debt and Win Ben's Stein's Money, both quirky trivia-based game shows with silly gimmicks attached

I think we need to bring back that style of quiz show again

my friends are so cool!!!

love the people in my tiny computer screen 💜💜
