Weasel @wildweasel@computerfairi.es

This year I resolve to... stay the course. I'm not doing badly where I'm at. I have negative feelings towards my job, but I would honestly have negative feelings towards any job. I live in an economy where there's no such thing as a seasonal break, and burnout is rampant.

Perhaps things can change, but I am only one person, and it will take hundreds of thousands.

New year, new weasel! Better graphics! Over the top orchestral score! New sidekicks and abilities!

Or perhaps we'll think better of that and continue on the same path my faithful audiences have come to expect from the weasel franchise. Watch This Space (and more than likely nothing of note will happen)!

There's no feeling quite like booting up a game, watching all of the opening cutscenes, and still having absolutely no idea how it is going to play.

The 3DO is the perfect system to explore that feeling.

but I have always said, I got into the 3DO's library not because the games are good/great/the best - I got into it because the library is _batshit insane_ and made by all kinds of multimedia startups that otherwise would never have made games to begin with.

it is quite possibly the weirdest and most diverse software library of any console platform (except maybe the CD-i) with everything from Soviet Bloc game shows to first-person pinball, and I love the hell out of it.

because i mean if you asked me what the best 3DO games are, i'd probably tell you Star Control 2 and Wolfenstein 3D. Not the best look for a console's best games to be ports of couple-year-old PC games, right?

anyway Zhadnost is a crazy FMV powered party game show full of dancing and surf rock (and, *cough* not great stereotypes) and it's probably the single strongest example of what the 3DO could do really well (that isn't an enhanced port of a PC game)

Possibly the only 3DO game that is SO compulsorily multiplayer that it includes a free (awful) controller. Also, one of the biggest boxes I've got, excepting some of the PC stuff. Look how it's dwarfing the Solitaires Journey next to it.
