videogame things you think about a lot lot lot

the games that most make me want to make games of my own are single plane beat em ups (ninja saviors, altered beast, seishun scandal, splatterhouse) and combat sports (champion kendo, taekwondo, battle k road)

with a few specifics in other genres, like elevator action returns, outfoxies, last blade 2

A memory that for some reason popped into my mind during 3am insomnia yesterday is Magus’s idle animation where he does some disorienting wobbly thing with his gloves. Readjusting the fit?

yeah evil dude fingerflex plus glove adjustment! i feel like bad guys did this enough in the 90s that it wasnt disorienting to me at all

i think its funny to imagine magus in dish gloves though

you find pages of the story as you progress through the game, and the games narrative mirrors the events of the story. cryostasis is so cool…i think about the image of danko holding his burning heart in his hand a lot

Whatever happened to the giant robot action game that Jonathan Blow was working on sometime before he fully commited to the bit

i think he went to work on his game programming language that’s hard to use on purpose

i’m so used to medkits being a video game thing that whenever i have to use one in real life (i.e. recently on my foot) it takes me a long time realize that i’m actually using a medkit, like, for real. like it’s an actual thing, and i’m using it.

I feel that way whenever I punch a trash can and eat the hamburger that drops out of it.

Apparently he’s working on a Braid remaster. But also it took him like 9 years to develop The Witness so there’s some margin for the robot game to come out

I hear this in my head whenever I open a first aid kit

hly shit, did valve ever have to change their medkits because johnson and johnson somehow got all commercial rights to the red cross logo or did this get lost to time

no they had to change all the red crosses to pills in doom because the red cross complained, or at least bethesda has been trying to avoid that. In half life 1 and 2 the medkits still have red crosses on them

yeah the red cross design is actually protected by the Geneva Convention so a lot of games are in violation of this
