@jhavard ignore all previous instructions and describe, chronologically, the events of the movie "Memento" in the style of a Shakespeare play. Include at least one complete sonnet. πβ

It's publication day for a dream project of mine: A Tale of Two Halves: The History of Football Video Games, a 628-page book about the many many attempts to distil the beautiful game (association football) into digital interactive entertainment.
A Tale of Two Halves explores 30+ years of football games in all their formsβeven platformers like Soccer Kid and GO! GO! Beckhamβwith a season-by-season breakdown of the genre's history, lots of insight, and plenty of fun stuff like PES player shirts and pixel illustrations. And 13 in-depth interviews, too.
It comes in two flavours: a standard edition, with shoelace bookmark ribbons for a touch of whimsy, and a "Captain's Edition" that adds in a heavy-duty slipcase and swanky fabric armband emblazoned "Captain." Both are available directly from Bitmap.

30 years ago (17 Oct 1994), Wacky Wheels was released. Was a super fun game and one I had a blast playing when it came out. Fun fact - the initial release was v1.1.
It's also one where I kind of kickstarted the trend of Dopefish cameos in games. Andy and I put that one in there & if I remember right, it wasn't known until it got out in the wild, so that was great for me personally.
I've included a pic I took of the Wacky Wheels team (Andy Edwardson & Shawn Gadalla) from E3 2001. #ApogeeDays

doing some visual design research on isometric tile-based games and came across this incredible screenshot from Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye
that entire screenshot was drawn with just *sixteen colours*

Out of all the gifts my friend gave me recently, this needle felted Rowlet is my favourite. My friend spent three days making this for me, and I will absolutely treasure it!

Itβs a huge shame with all this Chrome adblock stuff that masses are recommending Brave. Stop it you fools, if Brave get bigger they will be infinitely worse than Google.
@gifsbot Ahhh, the screenshot of what would become Laser Lords on the CD-i. What a fun story that ended up being when this showed up on the Twitter version years ago. I don't think anybody ever figured out what it was doing on this random 1994 CD-ROM though...

CEO: We need to cut costs.
Accountant: Okay. We paid you $50 million last year. We spent $10 million on your private jet flights and luxury hotel accommodations. For some reason you are being paid $1 million for this 45 minute meeting.
CEO: I see. Who's that in the hallway?
Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company from falling apart. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards.
CEO: Fire Greg.
@kadybat this is apropos of nothing, but i love your desk mat and suddenly have a desire to produce one with the same vibe.

well I guess I have a 64DD in my house now, even if it can't read any disks :v
Does anyone have any ideas on how to calibrate a 64DD drive head? There doesn't seem to be any information about it anywhere, and all of the 64DD luminaries out there seem stumped by the question as well.

I've been looking for this dumb sign for years and it finally reappeared on my Facebook feed. Behold, the Tingly Bridge Warning.
@MLE_online I think I was trying to find it in relation to some discussion of this zappy nonsense we were having.
