Hunter R. Explains Animal Crossing Town Generation
Just a quickie today. I mean the post, not the linked video, which is 18 minutes long. Hunter R's done lots of videos about various aspects of Animal Crossing, and this one's no different. In the most recent game, New Horizons, most of your village (or "island" in that game) can be edited, but for the whole rest of the series yo

Inglebard Gaming Reports On Obscure Game Sequels
The games mentioned here (17 minutes) really are obscure, including two sequels to Green Beret, a.k.a. Rush'n Attack, one for the arcade. I've only heard of one of those before, and vaguely Heart of the Alien. I'm working on a lot of Caves of Qud stuff for the coming days and weeks, hopefully things like this can help

We're a gaming site sure, but I think our broader focus is on using computers for entertainment purposes, and it's not as if sites like Digg and its aggregation successor Reddit don't gameify their workings to a significant extent, what with the reputation and the karma and the scoring and whatnot.

The original MacOS traces its lineage all the way back to 1984's original Macintoshes, and existed as Apple's pr
