game-related lolz of some fashion

I riff to myself sometimes but classic mst3k episodes can’t be beat

Manos is on right now

https://www.twitch.tv/mst3k

i've said this on the MST thread, but the key to the classic period is that very few jokes are really of the type "hey, this movie sure is dumb/bad, huh?" and when they are, many of them get at that by picking up on some very small detail or odd bit of writing or production design that hits my brain in a left-field unexpected way. but YMMV!

i remember the first time i went to rocky horror, that was also a long time ago

"BOWSER MEANS... NOTHING TO ME"

The ridiculous plasticity of the Demon's Souls character creation system is always good for some laughs, but I came across this one randomly and nearly pissed myself.

what the heck is an interstice?
also surprised to discover this game still exists AND also just got a US release last year

As the comments point out, an interstice is defined as "an intervening space, especially a very small one," which is unfortunate, given the font choice.

lol, Microsoft Flight Simulator video is slowly, quietly hilarious. Needs Laurie Anderson "From the Air" dubbed over it.

also:

lol, Microsoft Flight Simulator

lol Microsoft Flight Simulator, but also i really wish it was on mac so i could play it! i haven't played one since the 90s at a friend's house

oh god that was brilliant

I only just now saw the lol in that PSO ad.

what is it?

the kerning

ah, okay

OK, this is like an epic troll, but I'm not sure who it's trolling, which is irrelevant, because it's so stupid it's hilarious, at least to me, this morning:

did u see the top comment

Ha! That's awesome.

My 5 yo niece downloaded this game and I looked over and started watching. She went through 9 levels and at the end had to deliver a baby via c-section. Keep in mind neither of us had any idea what the game was about at first or what it was called until the very end pic.twitter.com/g8gCnICce1

so confused...

you want confusing: dunkey's new video is a (pretty good) review of Jacques Tati's movie Playtime

Yeah I thought it was pretty solid. He does do movies from time to time.

i was a very late dunkey adopter mainly cuz every other massively popular gamer youtuber is the worst ever. his dream drama videos hooked me and now i'm a convert. even my girlfriend who cares not for video games loves him and now i have to wait to watch his new videos so we can watch them together :)

I think he eased off the voice thing that initially struck me as, uh, minstrelsy-adjacent, maybe it was never actually that to begin with. PlayTime is an all-time great video game of course

playtime is mario

this got reviewed in the latest edge. 6/10

Preposterous score

Joni Mitchell's Blue came out 50 years ago today, and id Software's Quake came out 25 years ago today. In honor of these two influential classics, I modded Quake to replace Trent Reznor's soundtrack with the entirety of Blue. Enjoy. pic.twitter.com/ggx8kWikSE

imagine being paid to put out a series of 6 videogames and someone chooses this font for all of them and no one ever fixes it

(the remastered Final Fantasy games coming soon)

Wouldn't it seriously be easier to just emulate the ROMs at this point? I mean for SquareEnix!

Tim Rogers was trolling them, accurately, by telling them they could just BUY a much better font for like $100 on any number of websites

if only we could fix this font problem...sigh. well, it's impossible, let's move on

josh in chicago, i have a game recommendation for you! just check out this overview:

Just watched this thanks to you tweeting about it -> I am SOLD.

hahaha, i haven't actually played it. But it's a bennett foddy recommendation :)

go tell him he's wrong!

I’ve never convinced anyone to play a videogame, but I’m going to try again anyway:
