    New article! 'Virtual Lab' As the Virtual Boy counted down its final hours, a fledgling publisher emerged to release a last-minute cartridge for the console. But was it even a finished product at that point? Leave the experiment to us.

    After further re-reading: Apparently, a game that would otherwise be rated something like PEGI 12/16 with warnings for "violence" or "alcohol use" will now just completely cut those warnings from the label -- where gambling trumps all, and becomes the sole descriptor if present??

    If anything; gambling minigames (with no real-life cash investment component) can actually do a pretty good job of teaching folk how rigged casinos typically are, that card games have sharks, and how it's ultimately not worth it to invest money into games of chance!

    In-game slot machines and card games with exclusively digital currency (or "teaching kids how to gamble") obviously aren't the problem. The problem is excusing insidious microtransaction systems that fool consumers into believing they somehow aren't gambling their money away?

    The whole model of loot boxes is to largely fill them with unwanted garbage, and to drive repeat purchases with the off-chance of earning one of the arbitrarily ""rare"" gets. To me, that's far more insidious than a simple cash stakes game where the win/loss state is binary.

    Very dumb, arbitrary ruling here. But what's worse is the goofy doofuses coming out of the woodwork to continue justifying loot boxes and gacha -- claiming that "you always win 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 when you roll, so it makes sense that it's still allowed under this!"

    So it seems that any video game that has simulated gambling is now rated as an 18+ in Europe through PEGI Pokémon Red, Blue & Yellow all flagged as gambling As much as people hate the removal of the Game Corners in Pokémon games, it's clearly necessary

    'The Guy Game' released on this day in 2004. A gross attempt to deliver "Girls Gone Wild"-style Spring Break erotica under the pretense of a trivia game -- made all the grosser by dodgy consent and the reveal of an underage participant. Whole story here:

    Hey howdy! As one of the few other folk on the web to have given Virtual Lab the time of day, I figured you might be interested in learning a little more about the circumstances of it's development haha

    New interview! With 'Virtual Lab' developer Megumi-tan (): We discuss her time in the industry, the circumstances of Virtual Lab's troubled development, and the wonders of virtual reality. Fascinating insights from an awesome person!

    Y'all will not believe the scoops I have coming to the site soon. All I can say is: I sure guessed wrong about a lot of the details of 'Virtual Lab's development! Luckily, we have a very informative (and awesome) source to help clear up some of the details...

    I've been online for over 25 years. In that time, I've run a lot of different sites and channels -- all of which I've done under various different aliases, and most of which I've wiped from history. But the BGHOF stands as the project I'm most proud of. It's not going anywhere.

    I'll also use this as a moment to reflect that the site turned 5 years old at the beginning of this year, and that I deliberately didn't make too big a deal of it publicly lol. But truthfully? I'm proud of myself for sticking with it for so long -- hiatuses aside, of course haha

    I can't remember who it was who first steered me toward making the move, but it was certainly already long overdue by that point already lol. Next move: Have swappable MP4s in place as redundancies, for those who have issues loading WebMs.

    As per several long-standing requests, and thanks in particular to a reader who was kind enough to walk me through the process: The Bad Game Hall of Fame will be moving to WebM files in place of animated GIFs. Dark Castle will be the first article to feature them.

    After two years (mostly consisting of stalling and forgetting), I'm finally finished... Every legacy article on the Bad Game Hall of Fame has had its old, oversized animated GIFs replaced with more convenient [and controllable] WebMs. Pain in the butt, but ultimately worth it.

    My motto here remains the same as ever:

    IMHO, games journalism should exist largely for the purpose of taking the industry to task and hauling corrupt company execs over the coals. Everything else comes second; save for serving as a marketing channel for AAA publishers, which comes dead fucking last.

    Really respect the angle of this headline, which sounds like it's implying something like "Activision sure is a scummy company with inhumane business practice, but boy howdy do I love cool gun animations!" (The article doesn't actually address Activision allegations at all lol)

    Sometimes it's nice to appreciate the smaller things.

    'Arthur's Quest: Battle for the Kingdom' released on this day in 2002. A loathsome fantasy slash 'em up courtesy of THQ's Valusoft label. Read the fable of the good King's righteous mission for yourself, here:

    'XDR: X-Dazedly Ray' released on this day in 1990. Considered the worst-in-class shmup for the Sega Mega Drive, and the sole output of its developer UNIPACC. You can learn all about it - as well as the mystery of a cancelled 16-bit RPG - here:

    I mean, this is the loading screen I got when I quit out of the March Through Time instance. "Aim for the head" is a helluva thing to tag on the loading screen for a tribute to MLK. And granted, it's random, and it's unrelated to the event but... that's my whole point.
