[VHS] Unbroadcast 1995 Irish Gaming TV show - Full Episode YouTube video by Unexpected Amy

Had a lovely message from a viewer who was inspired by the BBI and GamesMaster videos to make their own '90s inspired videogame show... And my god, they absolutely nailed it.

Absolutely solid YouTubing.

Mistigram: when we have a decent showing of #ANSIart, as we do in the new MIST0226 artpack collection, we like to give a little overview of the range of pieces featured, some whimsical, some grim, some cartoony and others realistic, some promotional & others aesthetic in nature.

48 years ago today, the first bulletin board system (BBS) was created, and thus the online world was born.

I hope your BBS Day was full of modem screeches (but the ones you heard when dialing out, rather than what your family members heard when picking up the phone and interrupting your connection)

We've added the near-complete run of Game Player's magazine to our digital library! 232 issues across 12 (!) different series

OPINION | Canadian TV needs to get weird again | CBC Arts In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...
