Honestly, I get better deals year-round at Alibaba and Temu than from any American retailer during their Black Friday events. Although, if tariffs kick in like what has been proposed by the incoming administration, that party boat may be sinking fast.

But that game looks completely different from Pharao 1 , and also the archived website lists both Pharao 1 and …

...decline in interest in retro is myth. I think that is generally true, but the price of admission has definitely gone up a bit. Also, I have definitely noticed a migration over to realtime chat venues rather than forums. I think in the long run this will only hurt the vintage hardware/software …

Gave System Shock Remake a shot. I backed it during its kickstarter but the further its development progressed the less I liked what I saw. By the time it was released I had pretty much given up on it. That was about year and a half ago now, the disappoitment had faded and I felt I was ready to …

It's been a while since I've played any of them, but I remember losing interest in the original Crysis as I got further along the story . Still enjoyed the gameplay, but I had more fun earlier on in the game. Crysis 2 was so unremarkable for me that I can't even remember if I finished it. This. …

Crysis 2. Have been playing this game over multiple years. I'd play a little, get distracted and save, continue from said save six months to a year later. So probably around six to seven years now. I think I'm nearing the finish line? Anyhoo... loved the original Crysis and Warhead and I had heard …

that is pretty good :) i like the Baldur's gate as a 50's move one there are quite a few channels doing AI vids now, mostly nightmarish and sometimes managing to create imaginative strange worlds and short films.
