The High Ground (Fun With Uberduck – 2021 Audio)

Uberduck is an AI-based text-to-speech online resource that used to have a bunch of IP-infringing voices to read your written word before they were taken down in 2023. You can then save recorded clips into WAV files and do with them whatever you see fit… which resulted in this short audio clip where Anakin has the high ground and Obi-Wan… doesn’t.

This clip has never been published until now.

The only thing AI-generated are the voices, which sounded close but still broken. The audio clips were edited together in VEGAS and the one image used good ol’ Adobe Photoshop to flip our Jedi around from their usual spots. Had this been created today, the process might have been easier and the quality a little better… which should be concern to anyone.

No harm is intended with this clip. Posted purely for entertainment purposes… but perhaps also a warning of sorts.

Two Years Since Sacha Left Us… It Still Hurts

Valentine’s Day is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow these days. Normally, you’d associate that with loved ones and celebrating the enduring love shared among family, friends, and close ones.

For me, Valentine’s Day was the day that Sacha left us.

I had a scheduled post that day, announcing the No Mercy deal coming in a week. It never occurred to me to post something about Sacha until the day before. But when it came time to sit down and actually think of something to put together… I just froze. What was there to say other than I miss my girl?

As I was rummaging through some hard disks clearing away some stuff, I came across some old videos of Sacha that I haven’t come across in years. Nothing special, just her doing here thing. Stuff that I might have show here before, but it’s a reminder of happier times. A time when she was still young and healthy. And that’s when I started to feel a bit queasy. Even two years later, it still hurts.

I miss you, kid.

Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Line Up

For those who don’t want to watch the weeks-old video, your launch line up for Tuesday’s upcoming Virtual Boy debut on Nintendo Classics include Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer, Red Alarm, Virtual Boy Wario Land, 3-D TETRIS, Golf, and the originally import-only release, The Mansion of Innsmouth…

Seems like a reasonable line-up of Virtual Boy titles… though ironic that the only one of these that pique my interest is the side-scrolling Wario Land game. Would be nice to play these without having to buy a piece of plastic (or even cardboard) that’s going to take up space and collect dust more than anything, so until that happens… I’ve got other stuff to keep me busy.

Review #1282 – Breakers Collection (Switch)

One of the early 2025 leftovers that somehow got lost in the shuffle, but much like Breakers itself, it’s better late than never. No gripes about the timing of this stuff… though plenty of gripes about everything else.

Expect more of this stuff down the road.

JAWLS! The NES Game On Digital Storefronts NOW!

Happy Friday The 13th, everyone! To celebrate the occasion, those snake oil merchants at Limited Run are re-releasing the NES adaptation of… Jaws… yes, they’re bringing back JAWS… or JAWLS if you want to go by the Chris Bores enunciation.

I reviewed the NES original (weird to type that out) back in 2013. I’ve embedded the video here for the sake of convenience. Should hold you over until the next review pops up later today.

Of course, this conveniently comes along as Limited Run announced that they were delisting their Jurassic Park Collection from digital storefronts at the end of March. Game preservation my ass.

Spider-Noir… Coming Soon.

I know nothing about the Spider-Man Noir that this is based on… but you know what, I’m intrigued by this. And I like the fact that you can either watch it in color or in black and white… the latter as your wormhole aliens intended, I’m sure.

Spider-Noir premieres on MGM+ May 25th, with Prime Video getting it a couple days later. Genuinely looking forward to this one.
