Actually, you know what? Screw it. You get it early.
This was literally cooked up in less than an hour. Roughly 10-15 minutes worth of quick gameplay to get a feel, coming up with words in about half the time, doing the dub, assembling the piece in Vegas, rendering and uploading all this morning before I spot off to the rest of the day. It’s not perfect, but it’s… well, you know.
Right, so the review will be up later tonight… but I wanted to share a little tidbit for the blog reading folks.
I’ve had a roll with the new Belmont’s Curse demo and as you can surmise from this stream that I’ve uploaded a fresh recording of to ignore the travesty of a laggy live feed (found here), it was brief and made me wanting more. Good thing for a demo. I did not pre-order the game. I’m not going that route. I’m waiting until release day to buy the game. It will be the PC version.
It’s a digital release. There’s no copies of the game running out if I don’t pre-order or order on release day. There are plenty of these to go around because you’re buying a code that lets you download the game to your machine and play it. There’s no incentive for me to pre-order a game and no, a costume change doesn’t cut it.
This isn’t a statement being made or a stand being… made… it’s just me saying my piece and moving on because the thing that I was hoping to have done for today is not done and therefore I am distracting you with nonsense to keep your mind busy until I have something up later tonight.
Is it working?
Oh well… worth a try, I guess.
The true horror lies in the fact that someone at Coleco considered this to be acceptable. Setting aside the (largely disproved) urban legend of Coleco making non-Coleco ports purposefully awful to make their own console version look better, it amazes me how someone at Coleco thought that THIS was good enough for Intellivision owners.
Alas, here we are… for better or worse. Mostly worse.
It’s coming tomorrow… promise. I’ve been “under the weather” shall we say?
Actually, these past couple days have been pretty painful, but fortunately the worse looks to have come to pass. Hopefully, we can start getting shit done now.
Oh, and in case you missed the memo, we’re reducing review output to two per week; every Tuesday and Friday. This week being the sad exception, but beyond that, it should be smooth sailings.
I’m hoping a false hope, aren’t I?
Another week in our little lookback at these Bound For Glory PPVs, another year has passed in the timeline of Bound For Glory and we’re about a year and a half into this Impact Wrestling phase of the promotion, which have been bouncing around between shows in Canada and shows in the US.
Did a test stream this past weekend of me playing Belmont’s Revenge. No dubbing. Just a quick snap of gameplay. Consider this more of an outtake than actual gameplay. (And just like the actual stream that resulted, it’s also laggy as fuck.)
This month’s State Of The Blog is going to be very lightweight stuff. Little done in regards to background updates aside from a couple fixes here and there, which is what we can expect going forward until I can get around to reworking those video commentaries, which can be a tall order in and of themselves. The video review output is going to be reduced starting this month and there’s a couple major projects on the horizon.
Other than that, there are holes to fill and not much else.

Yeah, my brain froze this past weekend (along with a lot of stuff, sadly) and yet we now have an episode with new intro. Yippee.
Showing off Neo Geo Pocket Color I bought ages ago and the games it came with… and one more. Consider this a prelude to the eventual collection video project that’s coming up.

Hello, this is not THAT video. It is a stream of the Belmont’s Curse demo that is available for play via Steam. Except not really because the stream was borked with issues. I do have an unbroken version that I’ll upload when I can and hopefully, that will not cause any issues beyond… well… eh.
The stream will be unlisted so that folks can watch the unabated edition instead once it’s up. I’ll keep a link for those who want it, though.
