Guardian: 'The annual CGC (Crap Games Competition) has been bringing Spectrum fans together for more than 25 years' ... "What makes the CGC entertaining is the self-deprecating, sardonic British humour," explains 43-year-old Paul Collins from Reading, who first entered the CGC in 2000 with Pear-Shaped ("a simple maze game where you try to collect as many pears as possible") and Crap Football, featuring a digitised Des Lynam. "There are ideas that can't possibly work, eg Sim City: The Text Adventure or Blind Flight Simulator. Or names that are just funny, like Whack a Nun II and European Sandwich Hunt."

This paper discusses the emergent gameplay practice known as speedrunning, or the process of completing a game as quickly as possible without the use of cheats or cheat devices, and its relation to games as narrative spaces.

In the spring of 2020, as Americans continued to proclaim their excitement for basketball games and parades, an ER doctor named Dylan Smith watched in dismay. Was everyone else ignoring reality? That March, New York City hesitated to close its schools during the city’s first COVID wave.

Coury and Try go over what it's like to get started with the MiSTer FPGA project in 2022 - the parts you need, the processes required to set it up, what you need to do to get great audio and video, and what kinds of fun things you can do with the many console, computer, handheld, and arcade cores! You might just see that it isn't nearly as hard as you thought it was!

In this video, 6 game developers spend 4 hours each making a video game without any communication! Liam began work prototyping the game, then passed it on to me, then Aran from Sokpop, Jonas Tyroller, Code Monkey, and Yän!

We ended up creating a cool spaceship building/survival experience.

What is a game? It's a debate that rears its bemusing head every now and then as developers push the boundaries of the medium, and this month it has been brought back to the fore by a group arguably less qualified to give a concrete definition: lawyers.

I'm finally proud to show you this little documentary I've been making for the past two or three months for the 30th anniversary of the release of The Secret of Monkey Island - The Making of Monkey Island. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. What an honour!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible...

Video games are often blamed for unemployment, violence in society and addiction – including by partisan politicians raising moral concerns. Blaming video games for social or moral decline might feel like something new.

Explanation: I'm an academic researching glitches in videogames, and what fascinates me most is how glitches—often ones discovered by speedrunners, though not always ones that speed up runs—completely destroy the stories the games are trying to tell. Characters get chopped and changed, plot sequences get broken, settings get demolished, even space and time get bent around the exploits and accidents of the game's programming going wrong. Some examples: 1) Using the FF6 "airship glitch", you can break sequence to do things like moving from the World of Ruin back to the World of Balance, making Terra become her own father, or taking General Leo to visit his own grave. 2) In the Pokemon Reverse Badge Order runs, the player essentially warps space and time to pull the various gym leaders to him, beat them soundly, and then dismiss them again. That's no longer the story of a young hero on a personal-development quest, it's now about a young god screwing with people. 3) Stretching the definition of glitch a bit, but I think definitely not something intended by the developers: the Any% for Two Worlds where the main villain is killed within the game's first two minutes by aggro'ed townsfolk and the game takes that as its cue to end. Glad to clarify further but that should give the general gist of it. I'd love to know your own favorite examples of stories getting broken. (And if I end up using it anywhere in the book or articles I'm writing, I'll be sure to cite you there.) submitted by /u/epikt to r/speedrun [link] [comments]

TASBot takes the Celeste All Red Berries train and discovers CovertMuffin blocks (with downtime edited out) by euni, fishmcmuffins, and kilaye, joined on the couch by TGH, buhbai, Kevin from PowerUp Audio, and dwangoAC at the SGDQ 2019 TAS block. This TAS is incredible, complete with a massive chain of red berries following Madeline up the mountain.

GDQ set the donation incentive to $175k to see this game and viewers responded resoundingly, filling the donation incentive with plenty of time to spare. This Celeste All Red Berries TAS represents over 2,000 hours of effort spearheaded by euni with help from fishmcmuffins and kilaye. This TAS was made with tools pioneered by DevilSquirrel and extended over time by others.

The commentary on this run is some of the best at any GDQ, with frequent asides from TGH on realtime viability and developer commentary right on the couch from Kevin who helped in the creation of the game. This run even includes a surprise beyond the jawdropping; unbeknownst to many, Kevin from PowerUp Audio secretly altered the sound played by his namesake blocks to spread some FWAHAHA love.

Note: During the event a minor startup issue occurred which required restarting the run; that section has been edited out of the video. Additionally, the GDQ sound board crashed during the run causing 10 seconds of lost audio after which the run was paused until the issue could be resolved. The downtime during that issue was also edited. The run is otherwise unbroken as evidenced by the countdown timer and everything presented is a legitimate playthrough; the tools used to create this TAS do not alter gameplay in any way and this represents the fastest possible way to navigate the game based on how the game is written. There is no cheating on display here, only hours of dedication by the TAS authors to determine the fastest possible route through the game while collecting every single Red Berry in the game.

In the mid-1980s, the easiest way to check out the latest computer games was to go to a bookstore in the mall. Past the John Grisham and the bargain history books in the B. Dalton Bookseller, you’d find Software Etc.

We’ve long heard a lot about smart: smart homes, smart cities, smart grids, and more. It’s blowing up even more, with a lot of talk about AI these days. It’s all over pop culture, whether in tv, film, books, sci-fi, music, games, and internet memes.
