What do you guys think of the updates for the Steam version of Max Payne people are making? I was having a hell of a time trying to get the original to run on my newer system with a RTX4060. So patching was the only solution for me. The higher resolution and upscaled textures look good. It doesn't really change any of the gameplay as far as I can tell. I'll probably test out the RTX mod next but for now here is the normal patch I used.

I have good memories eating here, back in the day and I wanted to archive it. So I figured I'd indulge in my nostalgia and get a nice stuffed crust pizza. The owner is a good guy and I hope it's there for 30 more years, enjoy.

I have been trying to find this book for years! I looked everywhere for it... I should have known it would end up on the Internet Archive :) Duke Nukem Does the Internet is about Duke Nukem himself, telling you how to use the Internet and how to play Duke Nukem 3D (circa 1997).

A fun little walk with my GoPro up Yonge Street.

One of my favorite items from Ikea is the Laiva Bookcase, I have 5 of them around the house. I have a feeling I'll be getting more in the future. The first one I got was over 5 years ago and it's still going strong. Who else has one of these and what is your experience with them?

What do you think of the new Super ZSNES Enhancements for Super Metroid? I hear they will keep upgrading it, hopefully we'll see 16:9 as well.

When you feel like playing Quake 2 do you automatically go for the Original, Source-port like Yamagi, Remaster or RTX? With or without Steam? Any edge cases like an old gaming console, Android or Raspberry Pi?

They all have their own pros and cons. The Original Quake 2 is best for running it on an older system and the nostalgia of back in the day. Source-ports are great for compatibility, mods and newer systems. The remaster is a fresh look and is also good for newer systems. The RTX ray tracing update is amazing if you have a fast video card and want to make it look as realistic as possible.

What do you think, do you like the new stuff or do they always change the style too much? Also, what do you like now. Plus, if you could look into the future and see all these ports back in 1997, what would have wowed you the most?

Also, what's the next thing in source-ports you think will get popular? I think augmented reality.

More then 20 years ago I played Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and loved it. Then forgot about it. Now I went back to it with Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and I love it all over again. The sad part is that our real world is getting ever closer to the fictional world of MGS2...

Makes you wonder how NES games will be played in the future. Before, there was no reason to play NES games with a VR headset but now i can see why this would be fun. I like this method of recreating these games in 3D space because it doesn't change the original gameplay.

They did a really great job with this game. I hope the next game is available on Steam...

Ridge Racer Type 4 was such an amazing game. The style, the music, the vibe of it all. So why did the 5th game suck so bad? Also, any pointers on the final stage of R4 to win? It seems that drifting isn't enough to get first place?

Man, do I love the VOXEL mod. It makes DN3D actually look 3D lol! I feel like this adds to the game without taking anything away. Kind of like in Doom, where I'd rather play a source-port that adds the ability to jump and includes full mouse-look, if you know what I mean. The VOXEL mod is a modern upgrade that still feels like the old game, 10/10.

A little while ago, I digitized and uploaded my VHS tape. It's from the 90's and early 2000's with shows like The Anti-Gravity Room, Game Spot TV, News, Commercials, and YTV Canada. Mostly stuff about video games and comic books. Back in the day, I used to hate commercials but now I value them more then some of the shows lol.

I digitized it using a USB Dazzle capture card with a S-Video cable coming from a RCA VCR/DVD combo player I got off of FaceBook market place. The original VCR I recorded all these shows with when I was a kid, was a JVC VCR from 1985.

Time has not been kind to the video quality and you have to turn up the sound but that adds a little charm to it. I'm so glad i was able to save this before it fades away. It was a nice little surprise after living my life and forgetting all about it. It was like reaching back in time and saving a little chuck of my childhood. Anyway, enjoy the next 6 hours, just sit back and relax.

Oh the amount of time spent playing this game on the NES when i was a kid... All these years later, i still go back an play it every once and while. Hope you enjoy my playthrough. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I always wanted Tristram to survive, oh well. Too bad you can't go into the church in diablo 2.

I want a higher number on the punching machine?
