I actually played a bunch of that Star Wars vector arcade game at my local bowling alley. Yes, I am old...

Starfox never did it for me like Space Harrier. I'm not sure why. The primitive 3D maybe. Space Harrier creature design is just plain bizarre and intriguing.

I love Space Harrier. There are a handful of other third-person, on-rails shooters (Sin and Punishment), but nothing recent that I'm aware of.

Also, Bangai O on Nintendo DS is insanely fun. I can't think of any other games where slowdown is a necessary mechanic.

Pop quiz: four of the top five most anticipated games are Doom, Gears of War, Perfect Dark, and Assassin's Creed: what year is it?

Ehh. What's the average age around here? I'm guessing it wasn't the youth that migrated from Reddit.

The numbers between zero and one are where all of the fun is!

Yeah, I didn't say I trust them to do it right, just that it could be done tastefully.

Good thing I haven't bought a game from a big name studio since, uhh, does Elden Ring count?

If they'd just be smart about it. Make the ads in-game. Like a Nike poster on a wall or a can of Pepsi on a table or something. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Making them the entire focus - however brief - just makes me hate them immeasurably.

If I made 3 cents a stream, I'd have a quarter of a million...

Not sure I'd use one of the most iconic sexy lead singers in history as an example. No matter much how much he looks like shit now.

Yep.

Another one of my most popular tracks is an atonal hour-and-twenty-minutes of cubic spline curves, granular synthesis, and other assorted noises I programmed in Csound.
