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!

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

I've been playing Fable II for several hours and I've gotten to the point where I feel bored and uninterested with everything about it. I think that's a sign that I'm done playing it.

Absolutely unremarkable RPG that was only bolstered by the hubris of Peter Molyneux. Not really worth playing.

I wonder if there's a Bo Jackson of esports

I'd rather hear generic jock jams over this organ player at this point

well now what am I gonna do now that the game's finally over

I wanted to keep sharing dumb memes!

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY

one of these teams for the love of god just hit a homerun and end this misery

don't tie or break the record of 18 innings, please

it's still going........

can we consider will smith a generic name at this point because I know like three people named that

dang, crossovers are getting weird these days

Halo Campaign Evolved has the most "Nintendo hire this man" energy I've seen out of a video game remake in a long time

Never really drank any pumpkin spice coffee but this ain't half bad tbh

New Secret Area post: Here's Some Stuff I Bought, covering 2025's Portland Retro Gaming Expo.

Plus a small rant about the state of retro game collecting.

Shares and comments appreciated, as always: https://asecretarea.com/2025/10/22/some-stuff-i-bought-portland-retro-gaming-expo-2025/

It's weird. We're seeing a small guitar game revival, with Fortnite Festival, the rise of Clone Hero and YARG, and that RedOctane game that's forthcoming

yet this rise could go away just as quickly as it did last time, when RB4 and Guitar Hero Live came out back in 2015.

I hope I'm wrong in this case but I keep feeling that we'll never hit the glory days of Guitar Hero and Rock Band dominating the music game space ever again, no matter how many games we throw at it

After many years of wanting to play it but unable to, I finally get to play Rock Band 4 just as it gets removed from sale and most of its DLC delisted

The latter isn't a big issue as the 5 fret rhythm game community has preserved every scrap of DLC, but it still feels bittersweet.

Decided to randomly hit eject on the disc drive on my recently purchased Xbox One S, and out came a Blu-ray of SeaQuest DSV Season One, Disc 1.

Can't say no to a free Blu-ray!

Wonder if anyone else has also discovered a disc inside a used system that they bought...
