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

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 💜💜

more games should totally rip off Marathon's art style though, because while it feels dystopian, it at least it has some goddamn colors

Decided to check out Marathon before that free trial ends.

In my tutorial run, I got downed by a UESC soldier, yet still hobbled to an exfil area I activated beforehand.

Otherwise, yep, that's an extraction shooter alright, a genre I want to like but find too frustrating to play

found out Mina the Hollower has music by Jake Kaufman and I practically went "the guy who did the soundtrack for the Game Boy Color port of Who Wants to be a Millionaire 2nd Edition???"

I know he's done stuff I'm more familiar with but that's the one that immediately came to mind

really annoying to see one of my favorite channels that posts rare game shows decide now to post videos of their AI slop renditions of game show themes

I am here for you posting episodes of forgotten 70s game shows, not your shitty AI version of the Wheel of Fortune theme!

these are not good arrangements! stop it!!!

while thrifting with my partner, I discovered some cool things, including DEV2.O, that Devo album but made for kids; Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon for the Wii, and an album that's has both Blues music and nature sounds.

the world has a lot of wild stuff in it, lemme tell ya

lord help me I am getting interested in RetroAchievements

I'm not really big on dungeon crawler RPG types, but Doom RPG was a surprisingly good one

Glad that PC port exists now.

watching The Price is Right april fools episode with Craig Ferguson guest hosting

feels weird to watch after years of watching DaThings' The Price Is Rice series and having that burned into my memory
