Take care of yourself, Aspro.
He was the guy behind the characters that T&C Surf Designs used for their merch and were ultimately featured in one of biggest "of-the-moment" games on the NES.
Granted the game was not good, but for kids who were obsessed with a mainstream skater culture, T&C Surf Designs was one of those games you had to say you liked. You had to wear their t-shirts to sit at the cool kids table at lunch, and you had to talk about how much you like the game. Because you weren't a real skater if you didn't like the game. You could like Skate or Die more, but you definitely had to like T&C Surf Designs.
Lunchroom tangents aside, those characters were in fact pretty damn cool and it's probably why the brand ended up appealing to kids so much. So here's one last thank you to Steve for coming up with some iconic designs.
Happy Mar10 Day!
Dana Carvey is back in business.
Shit I forgot it, and it's already Mar11 Day here. What''s a Marl? How am I supposed to celebrate that?!
It will be a PC handheld and not made by MS, but branded and clearly Xbox looking.
They say ASUS, Lenovo etc are possible manufacturers.
Anyone interested?
Nope. I don't have much interest in portables anymore. If Nintendo sold a no screen version of the Switch 2, I'd buy that over the portable one, especially had more internal storage.
I’m interested.
Happy 30th to Chrono Trigger. One of the greatest games of all time. It’s my second favourite game of all time and was only surpassed recently with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
It most certainly was. Would love a new Chrono game or even just a remake of Trigger and/or Cross.
Yeah, you better hide!

Also they're saying there isn't a dev kit for the next Xbox. They're saying its like a PC and the next Xbox is like a PC in a tv friendly box?
Yeah, I saw that. I’m very curious as to what they’re cooking up.
You really should get on that. It's actually a fairly short game. First play-through should only take a little over 20 hours.
It's a charming game, but I've started it, I'm going to guess five times and it's not stuck with me. I even tried again on DS when it came out.
I got into this a fair bit on the latest Game Under Podcast (minute mark 7:45)

It's a surprisingly bad idea once you get into the numbers. .
