Sir, another NES Mario world record has struck the leaderboard. What a day for speedrunning.
I GOT THE SMB2J ANY% WORLD RECORD! The run ended up being a 7:51.607, exactly 1 framerule faster than the previous WR by Niftski. This run happened about an hour after Niftski's new SMB1 Any% WR, what a crazy day for 2D Mario speedrunning, 2 WRs in 1 day.

There is now a Super Mario Bros world record where the record holder is talking like Mario and doing 6-7 memes. 2 Frames to perfection. @Niftski

Blinking caught a cheater in SM64, staring at a waterfall solved elevator rng in FF7, and now staring into Dampe's soulful eyes are the key to his heart.
Dampe RNG has been solved on OoT When Dampe blinks, he flutters his eyes either 3 or 4 times. By taking note of how long each blink is and putting them in a calculator, the possible RNG seeds can eventually be narrowed down to guarantee the heart piece, at the cost of some waiting.

Growing up alongside the development of the internet was such a strange phenomena. "Yo, this new flash on Newgrounds is 4mb, want to play Smash while it loads?"

We really don't get video game ads like this anymore.
'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City' was released on the PlayStation 2 24 years ago today.

Firefox making the most nostalgic ad in history, Numa Numa feels like an ancient text discovered under layers of lost civilizations and black magic alchemy, when it was only 20 years ago.
How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

I made an in-depth analysis video about FF6! It goes into the lore, characters, magic and espers, and more. youtube.com/watch?v=xcs-ZgVF… It would mean a lot if anyone could share or retweet this. The algorithms have dropped me a lot lately due to inactivity.

NA commercial for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (1999). This was during the Wizards of the Coast era as it advertises the Base Set starter decks. This commercial features a skit as the newest Pokémon Trading Card Game champion is being interviewed.

Fuck it. Thread of Computer Gaming issue 208: World of Warcraft 10 page exclusive. This sucker is a GOLD MINE of ancient WoW alpha/beta lore and Blizzard's original design philosophies and intentions. My favorite was always the original plan for the reputation system.

Even the large platforms used to be more experimental. Back in 2009 Youtube had a special ad for Wario Land: Shake It! which messed with resulted in Wario actually destroying the page itself:
like for example imagine if every Glitch Productions series had its own elaborate skeuomorphic flash-style website (like the old gorillaz one) and DVD-menu style presentation what with the scene select and BTS featurettes and downloadable posters and wallpapers and OSTs as .zip

About a month ago, powmia99 discovered a way to trigger arbitrary code execution fully standalone in Animal Crossing GameCube with nothing but a controller. This was confirmed by Cuyler and I to work on vanilla hardware and we now have a setup that makes it 100% consistent.

The 90's was the era of insane drink flavor combinations, anyone remember Orbitz? Well, now we're getting Kraft Dinner flavored cream soda, and KFC flavored cereal, and Dr.Pepper flavored pizza. It's a 90's renaissance.

1640) l'Annonce de WoW - 2001 World of Warcraft a été annoncé en septembre 2001 à l'ECTS de Londres. Dès novembre 2001, Gamestar mentionne WoW, sans détail. Quelques jours plus tard, Computer Gaming World réussit à obtenir un dossier de 16 pages d'exclusivités. En premier commentaire, je vous laisse un lien qui partage l'entièreté du dossier. #Warcraft
