megaman11 due October and you know i have the odd feeling that classic Megaman will end up in some weird space-time thing like kirk did in StarTrek generations.

So, there is now a pack of ships for Star Citizen that costs $27,000.
Seems a bit pricey for a game suck forever in alpha....

I was intently following Star Citizen for about 3 years, maybe 4, but I’ve recently gotten burnt out on it.  There is a lot of impressive tech there, but it’s not a game yet. There’s still a lot of work to do to make it something fun to play. So I’m just going to ignore it for a year or so and hopefully some of the lofty ideas it has will finally be realized.

Don't know if I'm all that interested in a Neo Geo mini. I would prefer that Sega releases a Sega Saturn mini.

If you want to get any Bally or Williams tables for Pinball Arcade there are only a few days left to do it.  After June 30 they can no longer sell them, but the ones you already own will still be yours.  Seems the people that own the licenses have decided not to renew their deal with Farsight Studios.  Looking at the list of what I didn't have there were 2 I figured I should add to my collection, Addams Family and Xenon.

All 7 Myst games are now on GOG (entire set is on sale for ~$41), just got my codes from the Kickstarter campaign.

[Variety of Cells]

I'm going to wait to play any of them until I have that linking book in my hands.  So excited!  Should get here right around my birthday hopefully.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

I was thinking I'd have some free codes to give away since I already owned 2 of the games at GOG, but there was one code is for the bundle, not the individual games.

Has this game been posted about in here? It looks potentially amazing:

Just found out about that today. It has my attention for sure. The art style is neat and I like the idea of a cartoony puzzle version of Pool.

It has begun. Spyware in commercial video games.

I first found this out thanks to Civ 6. Needless to to say, the recent reviews have been scathing, putting it into the "mostly negative" category.

I didn't make a post about it, I think, but Summer Games Done Quick raised over 2.1 million dollars for MSF last week, which is amazing.

That is kind of incredible.
