i don't think pinball fans quite know how strict or weird licensor rules can be (see: John Wick with no guns).

why would anyone ever rely on user votes for television on IMDB good lord

(or anything, but television especially)

Broken Sword box art.

This week on Quest Quest: @bvigeant.bsky.social and I talk about the first Broken Sword game (in all its forms)! A video game about a shadowy modern-day conspiracy perpetrated by the Knights Templar? Seems like a stretch, but okay.

I was a bit of a Spooky skeptic, but seeing this and having played a bit of Evil Dead, I'm a believer now.

New Quest Quest the Adventure Game Podcast day. Today we're talking Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, a completely beloved game that has been ported and remade a million times. Like, not MYST level, but still a bunch. Join @decafjedi.com and I here or wherever: zencastr.com/z/v9Z9WQda

You're absolutely right. I didn't have a plan for the Strait of Hormuz when I helped plan this war for you. Let me take a look at this contingency for a solution.

/* Claude is pontificating...

ha ha not falling for this one

Why...did CNN do this

I am amused by every photo I find of Tim Burton promoting Dumbo.

Every day I try to achieve this level and I'm not even in the ballpark

IMO 2025 was the best year for adventure games in a long time, with Rosewater being one of the highlights among the point-and-click adventures

i know the names of too many CEOs, and this information is filling important brain space that could be taken up by interesting baseball players or literally anything else

after a few playthroughs of slay the spire 2, i'm ready to call it: we have another Good video game. this brings the total number of Good video games in the world to two, joining the original slay the spire

Watched the second season MST episode RING OF TERROR for the first time this weekend and I gotta say this one is a sleeper for great nightmare movie. There's some truly bizarre and strange sequences in it, I can't believe I've not watched that one before.

Just learned that the prime minster of Poland is named Donald Tusk, which is what a Donald Trump-like Muppet character would be called on Sesame Street (walrus, probably).

feds took the six people to wisconsin before repeating them.

Docter and many other old timers at Pixar wanted to deal with heavier, more serious issues like grief and emotional regulation, with tons of “therapy speak” in Inside Out, Wall-E, and Up. But when it’s queer themes it’s all “Back off loser, I’m not your therapist. I’m just here to sell popcorn!”

This post definitely drank from the hose
