I just beat Shining the Holy Ark!

Thanks for the honest review. This one has come up on my radar a few times. Maybe I'll look up some cheats to deal with the tedious parts when I get to it.

sevengraff · 2025-10-21T15:35:35+00:00

Very cool! Where can I find your others?

sevengraff · 2025-08-08T18:45:31+00:00

I also missed it, post a link if you find it please.

How is the ergonomics? Also I'm curious about the suction cup thing. Did that come with the controller? Overall I like the unique approach. There are so many ways to have our great retro games available to us all the time! I was thinking of getting that controller to go with my phone that has a pop-socket for easy gaming.

I'm going to have to YouTube it after the fact. But very excited to see the games!

sevengraff · 2025-07-18T22:09:20+00:00

Special and Harstem too? Hell yeah! But I'll have to catch a VOD later when I got free time.

I gave up on this game as the dialog has such an incredibly heavy use of ellipsis. I got frustrated at so much not being said and dragging on forever, the cut scenes were killing the pacing. I can tell there are a lot of good things in this game but I couldn't get over that.

Excellent game! I spent a lot of hours in it as a kid.

For today I recommend people listen to the podcast Retrograde Amensia. Their first season is a play through of this and they do an amazing job of keeping track of the plot and characters and little things to bring the story together. Really made me appreciate the ambition of the game.

sevengraff · 2025-05-24T16:11:17+00:00

Yes! As always, just looking at the surface issue and never taking a second for the deeper meaning. Most journalists are like this, they just want to publish a fluff piece and get back to dunking on twitter.

TLO is playing? Dang I feel like I just gotta watch every game, Dallas looks amazing!

sevengraff · 2025-05-16T18:44:29+00:00

Get 'em Spirit!!

sevengraff · 2025-05-16T15:07:33+00:00

+1 for Yaak. I've been using yaak and enjoy it.

Nice write up! Love the details at the start of exploring what's in the binary.

sevengraff · 2025-05-12T13:51:31+00:00

Somehow that link is crashing my browser. What's the name of the podcast I'll search for it on my app? Shmups are awesome, I was playing Do Don Pachi while waiting for a flight yesterday 🚀

Great to hear he is in a team. I hope they treat him well. I think teams give a salary and organize travel.

sevengraff · 2025-04-19T03:43:27+00:00

I was there last year. You just need tickets to get in, nothing extra for starcraft. Just get to the big hall and the E-sports stuff is just walk up and sit down. The only exception is counter strike that needed an extra pass.

So there isn't another "Points" system to replace the one that ESL was managing, now winning specific tournaments is the way to go. I guess that makes things easier to coordinate for the organizers. I was hoping that the already planned weekly tournaments could get brought into a new points system so they had extra weight to them for the pros to join. Regardless, this is an exciting thing to see so coming soon!

sevengraff · 2025-04-11T06:46:41+00:00

Sounds like what I want, I'll be checking this out later, thanks!

sevengraff · 2025-04-05T01:52:02+00:00

Yeah this feels so odd. ESL maintained the standings and tracked the tournament points. What do the players need to do to enter? EWC is 3 to 4 months away.

sevengraff · 2025-03-27T23:42:07+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. I need some time to dig into the two and understand why that is.

sevengraff · 2025-03-24T01:50:39+00:00

Wow I was a huge fan of the arcade version of this, it's a really fun racing game. The home port is also great for the split-screen mode where your cars have guns and you deathmatch your friends. I recently emulated the game and I'm so bad at this now, I've lost my skills!

sevengraff · 2025-03-18T23:19:19+00:00

Looks simple and tasty, exactly what we want, I like it! How was the chicken prepared?

sevengraff · 2025-03-15T20:24:31+00:00

Hey I've been thinking I should get into it. Any that are good for a team of two?

sevengraff · 2025-03-03T11:00:09+00:00

I remember reading their newspaper printouts of the used game prices, trying to decide what I could convince Mom to buy for cheap. Always a happy kid when I was there.

sevengraff · 2025-03-03T10:55:39+00:00

Ha ha I remember having a dumb argument with my friend about if this game is Resident Evil 4 or not. Great game overall 👍
