Welcome back to Sunday articles. That is 2025, which means this column has run for Eighteen years. What can change here when we turn to adult age? Very little, I doubt. We are here like the cliffs of the southern downs: bright and majestic and under the inevitable but slow erosion on the beach. Or another way: I am thinking about bringing news points to separate different links. How are you?
Felipe Pepe wrote about the gentle of video game history, argued that the history of American video game was overwritten on more local experiences. “We are not all the suburbs with Nintendo 64 for Christmas.”
There are many examples of this – one of the most popular examples is the way European family computer scenery in the 80s was often deleted and replaced by events of the 1983 video game accident, an event that was mainly limited in North America. Amstrad CPC, C64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga, Demoscene, etc. are all replaced by NES.
And if that happens to Europe, just imagine the rest of the world.
I have heard that Chinese gamers are extremely difficult steam assessers, so that it is a consideration when developers decide whether to translate their games or not. Translation into Chinese can bring a new sales line, but it can also reduce your overall assessment. In the Journal of Art, Thu-Huong Ha wrote about different types in the region in the cultural evaluation outside the kingdom of video games.
Japanese critics do not allow 5 out of 5 so that a good service or facility. If it is firm, it will receive 3. If it is really good, it will receive 4. Nothing has 5. Japanese critics evaluate the size of the service, the cleanliness, ‘Cosu Pa’ or ‘cost efficiency’, the ritual of other customers. At a Soba store near my house, low stars were given the color of Tempura (black), smell (ammonia) and the presence of ashtray (one for each table). On Tabelog, a Japanese Yelp for restaurants, if I see 3.49 stars, it gives me a little nervous. A typical review can read something like, ‘food is super delicious. Perfect night. The server has messy hair. 2 stars. ‘That’s why Shake Shack has 4.5 stars on Google and Udon the best that you have ever had in life with 3.8: Tourists love inflation.
BFI has published an easy summary of Indiana Jones video games to coincide with the launch of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Everyone here knows about Fate of Atlantis, I think, but do you know about the biggest adventure? Either way, I expand the ancient telescope at any time a store outside the media expert decides to include games and how they choose to do it for the object is probably less information.
For those who like the arguments and traps of franchise in history scenes, the greatest adventure of Indiana Jones (1994) on SNES put archaeologists into the action mode. In this platform appears in the form of equal parts of Castlevania (1986) and Super Mario Land (1989), Indysy Jumps, Rolls and whipped through levels, flakes on my holes and drivers with all the surprises you expect about films. Players can even fight with horrific, old corpses from Guess-The-Greail at the end of the last cross.
SEGA has made a late journalism tour, for themselves more than any game. They want to focus more on Transmedia IP that they can turn into a film, just like their recent success with Sonic. That is probably why they have supported the PC strategy that they invested a lot in ten years – divestment from amplitude, selling relics. No one asked them about that, but Eurogamer talked to President Sega Shuji Utsumi about their new focus.
Utsumi: SEGA has somehow invented – if you compare the game business with music business – the role of Sega is to invent rock & roll, compared to Nintendo. Nintendo’s Like Pop Music, Good Music, Jazz …
But then Sega comes with and like Led Zeppelin?
Utsumi: Exactly. Pink Floyd, Abba and Queen!
I love the list. As a game website, they help convey the taste of our group (and thus the values) to readers, they direct newcomers or normal players for the games they may like, and when writing well, they have a joyful and comprehensive spirit. However, when the listing season ended, I found the things to agree and think in Elena Gorfinkel’s new movie essay 2019 by Elena Gorfinkel.
The list of pretending to pretend the present and the past, but against history, obsessed with their own moment, with the narrow horizon and the authority of contemporaries. They reinforce and reaffirm the hidden tastes of the heard.
Talking about what has happened since the 00, Internet DJ Earwim organization launched the mashup of all the biggest hits in 2024. Let it be your first song of the year.
