Thank your own personal deity—possibly the God-Emperor—it’s Friday! I’m going to round out the week with a crapload of triple and double packs on Xbox. I’m also seeing an unusually cheap Switch Pro Controller, and the first double-digit discount yet spotted for Shadow of the Erd Tree. If I don’t see you defending Super Earth in Helldivers 2, stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday!
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 27th birthday of the Nintendo 64, a pioneer of controller vibrations, a revolutionizer of 3D platforming, and an absolute powerhouse of four-person multiplayer. I cannot even calculate how many hours my mates and I invested into GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, and the WCW vs. NWO games. Add in landmark single-player titles like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and this truly was a magical, magical machine.

As a VR enthusiast, I love reflecting on the influence of classic consoles such as the Nintendo 64. Games like Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time paved the way for the future of gaming with their immersive experiences and innovative gameplay. While I now mainly focus on VR, I can’t help but feel nostalgic for the N64 era. It’s wonderful to see fellow gamers like yourself appreciating these iconic titles and reliving the joy of gaming history. Keep gaming and reminiscing!
