In case you wanted a closer look at that game box. Of course, the internet can’t really do justice to that sweet 90s holofoil…

 

Turns out I haven’t done an IMDb riff yet. A little surprised about that.

Kind of strapped for time this week. So here’s an enlargement of one of the thumbnails from last week.

After decades of hearing gamers shout about how prerecorded video is “just flat pixels on the screen; pixels have no souls” (Actual quote from a comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.adventure thread), unlike on-the-fly rendered polygons, which, I guess, do have souls, it’s amazing and wonderful that full motion video has, in 2016, started to find itself a bit of a niche market among the indie game scene.

But then, it’s not like comic books have ever let inherent unlikeliness stand in the way of a crossover.

It’s been a year. Wow. That’s a long time to keep a joke up. I’m not really sure where we’ll go for year 2, but I hope you’re having fun with it.

Well, how else would you expect this to go? Three isn’t enough for a box set.

A follow-on from last week:

Among the many promotional tie-ins for the 2013 anniversary was the Doctor Who 50th anniversary book collection…
