Dune II, developed by Westwood Studios and released in 1992, was a true turning point for the real-time strategy genre. It's hard to overstate just how much it shaped and popularized RTS games as we know them. While a few titles had come before, Dune II blew the doors...

Dune 2 (Westwood Studios, 1992) was a treat for RTS fans back then. Some argue it birthed the genre for a generation of gamers. I recently played it on my good old AMD 486 with a 15" monitor (they feel so small now, ha) and felt like I never left 1992. The mechanics somehow seem hardwired into my gamer brain. If you haven't played it lately and want to relive some early '90s nostalgia, you can't go without Dune 2.

"At school or university, the thing is to be brilliant and to get the answer right first time. And there are brilliant people who can do that, but for the rest of us, we're not brilliant. And to get there, we have to strive and we have to go through failure. And we realize that you don't get it right first time, you don't get it right second time. In my case, and I counted it, it's 5,127 times. One of the things I always want to say is that sounds like a struggle. It was a struggle, but actually it was a hugely enjoyable struggle. The debt was mounting and I had three children, a wife and a home, and then a mortgage to pay, like everybody else. But I had a real point in life, I had a real aim and I had to get there. And the failures were interesting because I'd learned from every single one of them."

Final Fight was such an epic brawler that defined its era in the arcades. When it first arrived, there was nothing else quite like it. The graphics, the atmosphere, the co-op gameplay, and the sheer impact it had on the genre were something special. Even all these years later, I still love seeing fan projects that capture that original flavour while adding their own twist. Fight Forever feels like a project made by fans, for fans, and you can see the passion behind it. It hits hard and is a great reminder of why Final Fight remains such a beloved classic.

One distinct memory I have from playing games in the 80s was that every once in a while I would stumble across a game that looked epic but I had exactly zero clue what to do. Wizball was such a game. Looked and sounded pretty cool, but... "where to go, what to do, and what's the goal here?" - something along those lines went through my mind at the time. I stuck with it an eventually (much later) figured it out. Do you remember a game that you played but didn't really know what the goal was or how to get there?

Jerry Seinfeld says he turned down $110,000,000 for one more season of Seinfeld “I could have gotten more than that. The love affair between the people making the show and the audience was so intense. It was so white hot. I had to respect that. I could not go to that point where it starts to age and wither. It doesn't take long” “For example, you go see a comedian. At an hour and 10 minutes, you love the guy. At an hour and 30 minutes, it's like, ‘I thought he was never going to finish.’ And you walk out with a whole different feeling. It's a small amount of too much” “We had this wonderful, intense love affair between the people making the show and the audience, and I wanted it to end with a fireworks burst. It never was bad”

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

So yeah, after watching it yesterday for the 5th #ChristmasDay in a row, there is no denial: Patty Jenkins’s #WonderWoman1984 became my Post-Covid #Christmas movie staple. I think I’ll never forget the preview night when it came out, with the film in theatres during just a short evening, because of the announcement that, from that night or, depending on the city, on the following day which was supposed to be its opening day, all theatres would be closed for the following 6 months in the U.K. The rush to get to the nearest theatre still open that evening when the lockdown announcement came, we had to go all the way from London to Maidenhead to be able to watch it on that THU, as the preview screenings that evening in London were being canceled… I was so excited for that film for over 2 years, and somehow I knew that would be the one and only opportunity to see it in theatres. And I was so damn right! I think I never understood, till that point, how much movies, movie theatres and the moviegoing experience were important to me. They’ve always been there as part of my life, I’ve always taken them for granted. Until, all of sudden, they weren’t. And for a moment, #WW84 would be the last blockbuster we would see in a movie theatre, for a long while. That day for me was like our last, desperate way to hold on to the old normal pre-Covid. And in a way, in my mind, I was saying good bye to those Pre-Covid times without even knowing it. When theatres reopened again, 6 months later, things never got back to where they were. On top of a period already challenging as it as, my mother passed away within that bleak period, 2 weeks before theatres reopened. While some say ironically or mockingly that we went through a Great Reset, to me it was a literal reset. A forced one I was never consulted about nor agreed with. But life goes on, and we had to move on with it - but never losing that hope deep inside that, one day, we would have that life pre-Covid back. And that’s how #WonderWoman1984 deeply connected with me, I believe even more on the following Christmas in 2021, when things got scarily more relatable after that tough year. The film had all the messages I needed just on the right time. All the social unrest, forced division and global turmoil that followed from 2021 onwards, mixed with that longing desire to have back a life and the people that I would never have again, it felt like that film was predicting what we were about to go through in the following years, while offering its perspective on how to - and how not to - deal with most of these phantoms. And every time I rewatch it, I appreciate it a bit more. All those beautiful, powerful messages still stand and they feel even more meaningful now than they already were back in DEC 2020. They remind me of what we used to be as society, but also remind me of what we still can be, depending on the path we decide to take. And I know, I know - on this app, that movie means different things for different people, or even it might be the case it feels meaningless for some. I totally understand, respect and appreciate the diversity of opinions around it, and I see where they are coming from. I’ll never fight about your own views about the movie or your experience with it. That’s the magic of the movies after all, resonate differently with different people, as a collective but diverse experience. But to me it has a deeper meaning, and I love revisiting it time and time again. Until next Christmas!

Me and my mates caused this: We turned up at their wedding uninvited and started fighting with the guests and they had the cheek to tell us to leave because we were ruining their wedding when it was only a few of us and not everyone. Then they tried to lock the doors. But we held them open while more came in. We didn’t like the music either so we made the DJ to swerve the Motown and play some techno to suit us. It was an all inclusive bar and a free buffet so we stayed to the end even though we didn’t like it there. I just wanted to call the family out and tell you all how intolerant they were to us. I’ve never been made to feel so unwelcome. We had just as much of a right to be there as anyone else. It was a public building. They don’t own it. I’m sure you will all agree that the family were bang out of order. We only ruined their wedding the crying cnts. Horrible people.

Back in the ‘90s, there was one arcade game you were almost guaranteed to find: Irem’s Ninja Baseball Bat Man. It was incredibly fun, and with support for up to four players, it was one of the best games to enjoy with friends. But did you know this? While the game was a huge hit in South Korea, it received a fairly lukewarm response in Japan and was released in very limited numbers in North America, making it virtually unknown there. Pretty strange, isn’t it? One of the reasons I loved this game was that, unlike most Irem titles, it wasn’t brutally difficult. You could have a great time with just a single credit. Most Irem games were known for their gritty atmosphere, incredibly detailed pixel art, and punishing difficulty. This one, however, stood out with its bright colors and cute, round character designs, giving it a completely different feel. If you’ve never played it before, do yourself a favor and try it on an emulator.

"'Caddyshack' (1980) was a little disappointing when it came out and now it's just a miraculous irony that people have continued to embrace the film and love it." --- Harold Ramis Full Excerpt: "The fact that people are still watching 'Caddyshack' (1980) & showing it to their kids, their grandchildren and still talking about it amazes me because when the movie came out, we actually were a little disappointed because Doug Kenney and I had just done 'Animal House' (1978) and we were so arrogant at the time as we were writing 'Animal House' with Chris Miller. We would actually think to ourselves that it would be the most successful comedy of all time; which it turned out to be . It was like a grandiose delusion that was turned real on us. So then we thought well now we'll do 'Caddyshack' & that it will be the most successful comedy ever. we will do better than 'Animal House' and it didn't. It did half as well and a lot of critics scorned us. The New York Times called it an "amiable mess" which I kind of liked. I thought "all right I'll take amiable and the mess I can live with." So, it was a little disappointing when it came out and now it's just a miraculous irony that people have continued to embrace the film and love it. I once recognized the strange fact that when people used to read TV Guide and they would rate movies. 'Caddyshack' was a two-star movie for the first 10 years. Then at some point I noticed that it got a third star in the same publication and I thought "maybe it's like wine, the longer you keep it in, it just gets a little better.""

I’ve only been to a country club once and it was a blast. You see, I went there knowing I was about to be ripped off. The beer cart woman was super cool and we drank all day long. I’m not much of a golfer, I just was never good at it but at the time I was a great drinker. This gentleman ordered a Fireball single expecting it to be supermarket prices and was giving her a hard time because it was $9. She’s right you know, she didn’t make the price but she shouldn’t have lowered it either, cheap people will then expect it. I remember telling all of you about the pizza shop, sometimes people going there with money, just not enough of it. This man was coming home from the amusement park and walked into the shop, he said I have a car full of kids, about 6 people total and all I have left is $15, what can you do for me? As a courtesy, I made him a half sheet of pica, loaded with toppings and gave it to him as a gesture of goodwill. We are part of the community and wanted to treat everyone as good neighbors. The problem with that was my good deed didn’t go unpunished because he came back a week later with the same story. I told him It was a one time deal to be cool and I couldn’t do it again. He got mad and stormed off. He ended up calling corporate because I got a call on my cell about it. I told them what happened and they sided with me. They said gestures like that is good publicity and word of mouth creates good PR for the company. But cheap people with a sob story aren’t good customers. Would you have done the same as I? I didn’t lose any sleep over it but I was wondering if I did the right thing.

I remember taking a trip to Florida in my teens. We were sightseeing , new to the area. I was just enjoying the sun and the warm weather for once, I didn’t expect to see anything out of the ordinary. It finally hit me as we were enjoying a drink on the water, we see what looks like a floating log. Our friend who owned the boat said to keep our eyes open and don’t freak out, as long as we were in the boat we were fine. Just hearing that alone was almost panic inducing because he didn’t tell us what we were supposed to be careful of. When the “log drifted under the water, I finally understood what it was that we were looking at. Our friend had us piled in a boat on water infested with these gators. Being from up north, we didn’t see much of this. It made me believe I was in my own movie but I was going to be okay, I thought to myself if it was truly dangerous, our friend wouldn’t have brought us out there right? I stayed calm though, I never knew you could fish in areas that had gators, I assumed they would always go after your bait. All in all I would do it again, but I would never have taken anyone in the water and not tell them about the inhabitants, just in case they have a real phobia. Like I would never take my kids in there in case one panics and falls in. But looking back I’m thinking he may have been in the wrong for taking us there, would you take your friends in an area infested with these creatures not knowing? It’s a little messed up in my opinion but I’m over it.

Anyone remember General Zod? One of the last games of the Bitmap Brothers and also one of their best, in my opinion. Z from 1996 was such a blast. Yes, I know, Command & Conquer was published a year earlier and was more complex (and turned into a massive franchise), but I always felt that Z deserved more credit and got a bit lost in the shuffle. Great graphics, an epic soundtrack, and some fun units (who doesn't love the Psychos?) were sadly still not enough, and despite some excellent reviews, sales numbers were pretty low. Earlier games from the Bitmap Brothers, such as Speedball 2 or Xenon 2, were commercially much more successful. Maybe it was the fact that the RTS genre was already quite saturated (Dune II, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Command & Conquer), and that pushed Z into the offside a bit, who knows. Did you play it back in the day and liked it?

Anyone remember General Zod? One of the last games of the Bitmap Brothers and also one of their best, in my opinion. Z from 1996 was such a blast. Yes, I know, Command & Conquer was published a year earlier and was more complex (and turned into a massive franchise), but I always felt that Z deserved more credit and got a bit lost in the shuffle.

Kesha reveals how difficult it was spending nine years in litigation fighting for the rights to her voice, her face, and herself back after signing a record deal at 18. She says that during the litigation, she’d go on tour and perform hit songs, but it was really difficult and lonely because of the anxiety and fear she was living with, saying it felt like she was being punished. “I got found when i was 17 and i signed the record deal at 18 years old. And this record deal signed away the rights to my voice and likeness in perpetuity in the universe. It’s such a weird concept that somebody else can own something that’s coming from inside of my body, like that’s so weird spiritually speaking. And to really be fighting for the rights to my own voice, and my own face, to myself. Like what are we talking about for it to go on and on, nine years is a long time. And there was a lot of support and that support carried me through. Like one tweet could carry me through for months. Like one stranger on Twitter that I should not be on Twitter, but I was and I saw them and like that would carry me for a really long time. It was hard. in this litigation I would go out on tour and I would sing the hit songs and I tried but it was really difficult, complicated, really confusing for me, even like the emotions were so complicated. I was so lonely in how anxious I was and how much fear I had because we're told to speak up and stand up for ourselves and say something, you know, and I felt like why am I getting like punished”

By 2010, Laura Delano had spent more than a decade as a psychiatric patient. Diagnosed bipolar as a teenager, she'd handed her life over to doctors and done everything she was told. Then, at age 27, one afternoon flipped how she saw all of it. She was in a day program, at the hospital nine to five. A psychiatrist sensed she was becoming suicidal, and suggested she check herself into the short-term unit. "So I said, yeah, that's a great idea. I'm just going to go home and get my belongings. I'll come back later this afternoon. And he wouldn't let me leave to do that." "Things escalated. I began raising my voice. He called security." That was the moment reality inverted for her. "And that was the moment that I realized that this system I had been turning to for help through all of these years, through the most formative years of my life, that I had been assuming existed to take care of me, to help me feel okay in my skin was actually a system of control, and I just hadn't seen it for what it was because I had never said no to it before." "In an instant, it all just kind of blew up. And I suddenly was like, what have I been participating in? How did I not see this?"

I asked Jaylen Brown about Sam Hauser for the three-point record and he started laughing: “It was terrible. I remember when Sam almost had the record when we were in Washington, and he hurt his ankle, and I didn't play that game, and I was in the back, and I was like, ‘Bro, you got to get back out there. I need you to get that record.’ And he was like, ‘Oh, it's gonna come back to me. That was two years ago…. It might not be another two years.” “But it was a joy to watch, man. We was all rooting for him. I wanted him to get it, but probably it was a little bit too much pressure on it.”

Asked Jayson Tatum if it was ever tempting to wait until next season, knowing that he could shake off the rust behind closed doors rather than in public. Thought his answer was super thoughtful: "It was a range of emotions, of things I was dealing with and contemplating and thinking about. Obviously, physically getting cleared by everybody. And, lot of it had to do with where the team was at, and never wanting to take moments in a season for granted, just thinking like, ‘Oh, we’ll be good next year.’ It's like, I've been in the league a long time, I've been fortunate to be on a lot of really good teams. And you never want to take for granted opportunity to be on the team that's contending for a championship. I had never had basketball taken away from me, so I always — I never took the game for granted, but as you can imagine, how much I missed playing basketball. The little kid inside me, that that's all I wanted to do my entire life. So, when I was cleared and got the opportunity, it was a lot of people I talked to to make the decision, knowing that I wasn't going to be perfect when I first came on the floor, but showing my teammates that I was willing to fight through it, and give it my all. And even though I wouldn't be as in-rhythm or in condition at first, I knew it was going to take some time, but I wanted to be out there with him, I was gonna do whatever it took.”

NO BUT HIS IDEA SO BRILLIANT? 👑: i already talked about it and gave hints to yeodoongies, right? so, it was almost at the final completion stage, but then the price came out. and it ended up being a bit higher than i expected. since i really wanted this item to be practical and actually useful for yeodoongies, i designed it with that in mind—and because of those extra details, the unit cost ended up a bit higher than i first thought 👑: so i thought, “wouldn’t this be a bit too much of a burden for yeodoongies?” that’s why i just decided to scrap it and changed to something else instead 💬: then just give me the one you scrapped 👑: ㅎㅎㅎ ah, that one was actually—well, i guess i can just say it now anyway. actually, i was thinking of a keyboard. the idea for that keyboard was something like i wanted to put hehetmon face on the keyboard—what should i call it? on the keycaps, like emojis. and then, you know those keyboards that don't make that loud clicking sound? not like mechanical keyboards, but ones that sound like asmr... ah, silent! but even though it's silent, it has that, you know—that “sagak-sagak” sound when you press the keys. yeah, you’re right! like “tuduk-tuduk” sound! i had that kind of keyboard in mind and tried to make it happen. but the unit cost ended up being higher than i expected. and i thought, this is a bit too much— i know our yeodoongies would want to have it no matter what, but if the price is this high, it’ll be such a burden on yeodoongies. so, i just made the call to scrap it and switched to something else

Jon Bernthal reveals he didn't make a single penny on The Walking Dead Jon :"Let's put it this way. I didn't make a penny on The Walking Dead." Stern :"And second season you didn't get to renegotiate?" Jon :"No believe me I tried man...You get paid by the episode. So if you get picked up for six episodes…at that point it was the biggest year of my career by far but I had never made less money" "I know it might sound BS but it was never about that for me. I loved that job and to have a real beginning, middle, and end as a character it's an unbelievable gift and it opened up so many doors I was grateful"
