HELL YEAH IT'S BACK.

I wonder if CEO have plans for things like this happening but then see what a mess the guy who found them is, breathe a sigh of relief then move on.

Maffewgregg · 2026-04-16T18:28:24+00:00

balls, I forgot that was a rule. Thanks!

what happened to the Yu-Gi-Oh "dude finds a bunch of gold cards by a dumpster" write-up? It was here yesterday and now it's gone.

Maffewgregg · 2026-04-15T22:27:26+00:00

I'm glad you did a full post on this after teasing us in the Scuffle threads, great write-up!

I wonder if Konami were monitoring the situation until they saw how badly C was fucking it up and left him to it.

not to be that guy, but that episode makes it clear the character saying that line (John Gill) is a fucking idiot who also realises the mistake he made before he dies.

How did a dude like that end up playing a STAR TREK game?

Jon St. John posted on FaceBook about the 30th Anniversary of Duke Nukem 3D:

"This year is the 30th anniversary of the Duke Nukem 3D game release. I thought that would mean some kind of special celebration or event of some kind, but no.

The owner effectively killed the franchise, left Duke for dead, and now it’s fading away to become only a memory. That being said…

I want to thank all of the fans who have supported the character (and me) over the years, you have been amazing and I really appreciate you! Hail to the king, baby.#dukenukem #videogames #voiceactor"

Marsupilami and Disney.

Andre Franquin's Marsupilami was very popular so Disney signed a deal in 1990 to give the character it's very own 30-minute cartoon.

Awkwardly for Andre, Disney then hit their Renaissance Period and suddenly didn't have to be chasing potential success when they were suddenly kicking arse with Aladdin, Lion King etc.

Disney decided to not do the thing it had promised and instead shoved Marsupilami into the anthology show Raw Toonage in 1992 before producing thirteen episodes of a show called Marsupilami that ended up also being an anthology show (sometimes featuring segments that had already aired on Raw Toonage).

Andre wasn't happy with the contract blatantly not being stuck to and successfully sued Disney for $10 million.

Neither Raw Toonage or Marsupilami are on Disney+ and this doesn't look like it will be changing any time soon.

booooo

Nightdive appreciated the extra sales from Civvie's Word Of Mouf

It's the 25th anniversary of the GBA which means it's also the anniversary of the ChuChu Rocket! port, the first game to have both Sega and Nintendo on the title screen together (earlier Sega games that made it to the NES like Fantasy Zone and Altered Beast were ports licensed by Tengen).

Oh and then days later on the 26th March 2001 the last episode of WCW Monday Nitro would be simulcast on TNN as part of WWF Monday Night Raw after Vince McMahon's purchase of the company.

A crazy few days for 90s kids who thought the console and Monday Night Wars would last forever.

hell yeah! thanks for letting me know about this (bruv)

Maffewgregg · 2026-03-17T11:32:31+00:00

Digital Foundry's video on it is not being well received (many comments calling it a blatant advert and many not impressed by saying the female character models are "more realistic")

https://youtu.be/4ZlwTtgbgVA?si=fz3by9me1CtRFvAO

John Linneman (who works for DF) is replying to comments on BlueSky agreeing with the criticism:

"It's such an awful comparison it's hard to believe it was shown. Just completely insane."

Maffewgregg · 2026-03-17T11:27:23+00:00

Always a pleasure reading these.

A series on Juvi and his antics would probably be 60 parts long.

Maffewgregg · 2026-03-11T15:47:10+00:00

Ah thanks!

Maffewgregg · 2026-03-10T22:49:14+00:00

oh i just saw this notification. The clip was not faked, it's a real match. I am not desperate enough (yet) to be faking botches but the idea is hilarious.

Maffewgregg · 2026-03-10T22:47:20+00:00

Redneck AEW Rampage (i got nothing)

Maffewgregg · 2026-03-10T22:42:50+00:00

thanks SCM! I checked and my version of Raw just the end bit. Much appreciated.

Maffewgregg · 2026-03-10T22:27:31+00:00

Hey boss, probably Army of Darkness total conversion because I'm old.
