birdsite link, ion fury controversy
welp, I guess it's okay to pirate Ion Fury again.
New on the Secret Area: I plunge back into the world of eurojank with Alpha Prime, a mid-2000s Czech FPS that's... interesting. https://asecretarea.com/2019/08/24/alpha-prime-pc/
Updated an old blog post about Chaser, a eurojank shooter. I had been thinking about it again recently after playing Alpha Prime, another eurojank shooter.
I feel bad having to use that term, but there were a *lot* of games in the 2000s that had their heart in the right place, just not enough polish to be amazing.
Still have a soft spot for them, though. They give experiences no major AAA game can give me, that's for sure.
transphobic game dev warning
The devs behind the recently-released Ion Fury are kinda anti-SJW types. https://twitter.com/BadGameHOF/status/1162504845296721920
These days, I think Red Faction Guerrilla is *very* overrated.
A decent game for its time, complete with ridiculous levels of destruction, but that's all the game had going for it. It was an average free-roaming game otherwise.

in 2007 the official Mute Records youtube channel uploaded a copy of the video for Yazoo's "Don't Go" which was in very low quality and had clearly been edited using Windows Movie Maker. in 2013 it was finally made private and then deleted
