      Kjellbjørn Åsmo It was after James refused to review the gender swap Ghostbusters movie. They said he was “cowardly.” Although, I do think that it was on a Pre Rec stream so they can just ignore it ever happening haha.

    The shining the game could be great! Base it on the book, you’re walking through the overwatch hotel as jack Torrance, switch it to his son at times, and in every room there is a creepy story to play through. Overlapping adventures with father and son and it all comes together at the finale.
    edit: the hotel works as a hub, you can enter every room/ the basement etc. If I remember correctly, in the book there was a creepy story connected to all the rooms

      Simon's Quest is a decent game. It's like the first Turtles game for NES. It's good, but it definitely has its flaws.

    Nice natter guys. As for the Home Alone games I must confess that the SNES version is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know the game would hardly tax a Gameboy or a Vic 20 but it had some of the charm of an 8bit computer arcade adventure about it. Yes I know the SNES is 16 bit and can run this without breaking a sweat but I enjoyed it! Lock me up!!

      We all have our guilty gaming pleasures. I actually really loved the first Bubsy game on SNES. Nowadays everyone shits on it. Yes, it's no Super Mario or Sonic but come on!
