DOOM X The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - "Fairytale Of New York" It was 93, man The magazines said I'd need a 486 To get this thing to run And I was blown away By all the review scores But all I could do then Was dream about Doom Became a lucky one Got it on PS1 It sounded different But still I carried on So happy birthday We love ya Doomguy You created memories Where all the things went boom It's got guns big as boats It's got demons galore But it's not for the faint-hearted With the guts and the gore When I first laid my hand On that old BFG I knew that some mayhem Was waiting for me It was violent, it was gritty With the graphics so pretty When we'd all finished playing We cried out for more Jack Thompson was crying Mrs. Clinton was lying "It simulates murder" What a big load of shite The ghouls in the Aubrey Hodges choir Were singing "Danny Won" It was time to rip and tear 'Til it was done Yous are dull, yous are cowards Yous don't want things too hard Tiptoeing round bad guys With cover and stealth Cos Halo's for laggards Call Of Duty's for [UNSAFE CONTENT DETECTED] "Cinematic" your arse Your campaigns never last The ghouls in the Aubrey Hodges choir Are singing "Danny Won" So it's time to rip and tear Until it's done And so it's clear to see There's quite a legacy I can't believe we're here Yet still we're playing on 'Cause it's bee thirty years And here's to thirty more What would this industry Have turned into without you The ghouls in the Aubrey Hodges choir's Still singing "Danny Won" Once again, we'll rip and tear Until it's done -------------- RIP Shane MacGowan

Gonna be THAT person for a minute: No Dan Houser No Les Benzies No LAZLOW And certain topics of satire have already been declared off-limits. Consider my expectations well and truly managed. Oh, and it's not coming out until 2026. I know this because R* games always have a minimum of at least 3 delays..

Pretty much this, although this position makes you a Sandy Hook denier in Rudolph's eyes if the last time this topic came up is anything to go by...

No way, this shit is official?? And premium??? I thought this was some fanboy's bedroom project, not a commercial product you have to pay for. The problem with meme games is that memes have a shelf life. Once the novelty wears off, all you're left with is a substandard Metal Slug knockoff that you just burnt $20 on. But hey, like others have said, those billions worth of legal fees aren't gonna pay themselves. Nah, just a mouthpiece. That's why he's into the civil courts for 9 figures but still a free man. 1A functioning as intended, folks. Talk shit, get sued.

Pretty sure the Sensible World of Soccer is still getting fan updates, but I haven't checked back in about 2-3 years.

I see MAMEUI in there too.

My primary (gaming) rig: 6-core i9 12900k 3.2GHz 32GB RAM 12GB RTX 3060 My secondary (music and creation) rig: 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X 3.6GHz 32GB RAM 4GB GTX 970 (I have a 2070 Super, but my monitor is too old to use it) Both emulators run about as well as they can be expected to on both machines, the only potential issue being game compatibility (Scott Pilgrim, I'm looking in your direction). Xenia is kind of a pain in the arse though, as different revisions run different games and the newest release isn't necessarily the most compatible (there is precisely ONE revision of Xenia Canary that runs the CAVE games and another ONE that runs Quake Arena Arcade).

Emulation has been a staple of my PC gaming experience since first finding a cracked version of Bleem back in 2001 and using it to play Gran Turismo at 640x480 on my S3 ProSavage (yes, my first PC was that terrible). Since those early days, I've used emulation to explore tons of game libraries that I would never have had access to otherwise, the latest of those being the Sharp X68000 via px68k, allowing me to finally play the original version of Thunder Force II and Cho Ren Sha. I built a new rig at the beginning of this year following a cataclysmic system failure and am now enjoying the delights of Xenia and RPSC3, allowing me to bring games like WipEout HD Fury, Hard Corps Uprising and all of my 360-exclusive CAVE games over. I'm also a sucker for the mini consoles and the Raspberry Pi, although for me most of the fun comes from hacking/building them. Right now I'm pining for the next major hakchi update so I can finally mod my PC Engine Mini - KMFDManiac has apparently been able to engineer his way around the lack of a reset button (previously essential for hacking the minis). As an aside, the WipEout 2097-inspired announcer mod I made for BallisticNG was done with WinUAE. I spent what ended up being several hours getting Workbench set up just so I could install the speech program. Worked out in the end.

Things aren't as bad as they used to be - we still kill each other from time to time, but despite the lack of a functioning government for several years now, we're at least able to focus on the important things in life like not being able to afford basic necessities. I'd call that progress.

That must cost a fortune in hairspray...

Canon-welding in BallisticNG:

A sandbox crime game set in Belfast during the 1980s. Choose your alignment through the decisions you make, or go it alone and have the entire city come after you. Engage in missions that run the gamut from madcap heists to terrorist operations that would make No Russian look like Animal Crossing. Participate in fun side activities like bootlegging VHS tapes or hot-wiring runabouts for the local joyriders. All to a banging old-school acid-house soundtrack. Of course, those dinosaurs up at Stormont would immediately try and get it banned, but that's kind of the point. Who needs a marketing budget anyway?

Like clockwork.

Sriracha because why not both?
