I had no idea who she was until this moment. Googling surfaces this hilariously deadpan USA Today “gallery” of her time with Maga. Found this one particularly funny for some reason www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

Writing for games peaked in 2007. So sad that developer Cing closed right after releasing the Last Window, the sequel to Hotel Dusk.

Screenshot of a nintendo 3DS running the video game Hotel Dusk: Room 215. The 3DS is held sideways, almost like a book.

On the left (aka top) screen is a black and white sketched portrait of the game’s protagonist and point of view character, Kyle Hyde.

On the right (aka bottom) screen is a black and white sketched portrait of the titular hotel’s manager, Dunning.

Dunning has dialogue box at the bottom of the right screen that says: “But right now I’m busier’n a one-legged man in an ass-kickin’ contest.”

Knack AND Veggie tales??

An old Luke Skywalker reaching out towards something out of frame and shouting in anguish “The sacred texts!”

I saw a copy of Power Monger in a local shop a few months ago. I was specifically looking for sega cd games but one look at the UI on the back cover made me say “ehhh, nevermind”

Man, Jackie Chan is a completely unserious filmmaker. Unlike the cast and crew of Surf Ninjas. They didnt forget their gamegear cartridge

A young Rob Schneider and Ernie Reyes Junior watch over a younger child actor’s shoulder as he plays his game gear in a still from the film Surf Ninjas. A game cartridge is clearly visible in the game gear.

White text on a green background. In the bottom right is a pixel art chest-up portrait of a "bad dude" wearing sick shades, a bomber jacket, and blonde flattop hair.

The text printed on the screen reads: "The supreme court has been kidnapped by donaldo trump. are you a bad enough dude to rescue the democracy?"

We will never attain his heights

A picture of Hideo Kojima in an office or conference room. He is sitting on a stool and using a playstation 5 game controller while making a silly face that exposes his upper teeth in an exaggerated overbite type manner.

Interesting! A quote from NPR: "On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments." - www.npr.org/about-npr/17... That said the same post says elsewhere that 14% of public radio station revenue comes from gov funds.
