We just got one of the most unexpected announcements out of Comic-Con today- G4 is coming back! They released this teaser and haven't yet said in what capacity they would be coming back. The official Twitter accounts for Attack of the Show and X-Play also tweeted the teaser. I can't see them starting a new TV channel in the day of streaming, but I am happy that the brand has been resurrected, it carries a lot of nostalgia for me.

General / Creepy sprite found in a Spongebob flash game
« on: May 29, 2020, 11:13:41 am »
Thought you all may be interested in this. A Spongebob art collector was digging through the code to the flash game Spongebob Saves the Day and found a weird sprite that goes by the name of YUMMER in the file's code. It's uhh... definitely unsettling. My first thought was that it was a fan game, but you can find this game on the Nickelodeon website. Why this is in the game, I have no idea, and it seems like nobody else does either. To make things stranger, an unused sprite depicting Sandy's suit completely destroyed was discovered when people dig deeper. My personal theory is that it was just a bored developer, but what do you all think?

General / How do y'all handle your backlogs?
« on: May 26, 2020, 07:29:31 pm »
I'm someone who tries to get enjoyment out of games, because I know it's easy to get sucked up in trying to clear the backlog. However, I still have a somewhat systematic approach to finishing games. This is partially because I want to be fully immersed in a game and not worry about anything else while I'm playing, and partially because I'm neurotic about that sort of thing. I only allow myself to play 1 game per console at a time, with the exception of PC. I try to keep PC down to 2 games at a time. 1 game online and 1 offline, because I like to be able to hunt for achievements and stuff, and that's very hit or miss when not connected to internet. Plus I do a lot of my gaming in between classes when I can't have a reliable internet connection. I was just curious if any of you all have a similar system to mine, or if I'm just crazy.  :P

Insignia was announced a couple of days ago by Luke Usher, of cxbx fame. This is pretty much a custom XBL server. There are ways to play Xbox games online, but these methods utilize system-link, not Xbox Live servers. Expected to come out this Fall. Best part is, ya don't even have to mod your console! This seems pretty exciting as someone who was too young to play during the heyday of original Xbox Live. Always wanted to play Unreal Championship online.  ;D

General / What's the best free haul you've ever gotten?
« on: May 17, 2020, 10:06:36 pm »
I see posts on reddit all the time about family members giving their collections to people, today it happened to me! My uncle was getting rid of his old games and checked to see if I wanted them. The text that he sent me said there was just a few, but when he gave them to me, there were 80 exactly, plus a couple of old wrestling dvds. Granted, most are sports games but I'm definitely not complaining. https://imgur.com/a/ifTy1rF

Anyways, that got me curious. What was your best haul that you didn't pay for?

Modern Video Games / Custom Switch spines
« on: May 13, 2020, 10:25:10 am »
I found a cool subreddit where people are making their own custom spines for Nintendo Switch games since the actual spines are a little bit dull. I know some people don't like the look of printed covers for games, but I personally love the way mine look. The sub is r/SwitchSpines. Here's a picture of a few of mine, I haven't finished cutting all of my spines out yet but I'm loving them so much that I had to share. https://imgur.com/a/3NzBQNq

Video Game Database Discussion / GOG games?
« on: April 30, 2020, 10:35:15 pm »
So I recently bought a couple of games from GOG, but I'm not seeing any games with GOG as the platform in the database, even though Steam is listed as a platform. Would it be alright to make listings for GOG games?

General / Lukie Games???
« on: April 29, 2020, 02:25:44 pm »
Anyone order from Lukie Games? I hear that they're overpriced, but I decided to take a look and they have better prices than eBay on less popular games. Like Mario, Zelda, etc. are all overpriced, but Unreal Championship on Xbox is cheaper than eBay. Plus, free shipping on orders over 25$ so I got a pretty good deal on the ones I ordered. They haven't came in yet so I can't attest to the condition of the games. I know it sound like I work for them, I promise I don't lol. Just wondering what everyone else thought of them.

Classic Video Games / Anyone played the True Crime series? Thoughts?
« on: April 23, 2020, 08:05:47 pm »
I've been playing Streets of LA, and while I do really like it, it can be too challenging in certain places. Like certain racing levels are near-impossible to beat. I typically wouldn't have a problem with that but it's a cop game and trying to get to your brother's dojo in time isn't the main draw to the gameplay.

Modern Video Games / Nickelodeon Remaking Old Games
« on: March 22, 2018, 08:56:14 am »
     Did you all hear that Nickelodeon signed a deal with THQ Nordic to remake their older games? Here's the full article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/classic-nickelodeon-games-are-returning-thanks-to-thq-nordic/ar-BBKwitX

     What Nickelodeon games would you like to see remade? I'd love to see a collection released for the SNES-era games like Spunky's Dangerous Day and Ren and Stimpy. Kinda like Disney Afternoon Collection. Or maybe they can remake them completely like DuckTales Remastered. Do you think we get a Nintendo Switch release for these games? I really want to see games like Battle for Bikini Bottom remade. Something that confuses me about this article though, is that the article acts like the shows listed will have their own individual game. However, shows like Catscratch and Teenage Robot never got their own game, but were included in the Nicktoons series of games.
