With only 1 vote, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has won the poll. I'll post the thread next week.

Well it seems from that list that the most significant game I never got around to is Chrono Trigger, so that gets my vote. Of course I don’t know how long that game is so if it’s too big of a time commitment for everyone I’ll pick something else. From what I remember Chrono Trigger isn't that long ...

Hello, this is the thread for the first edition of the AMF Game Club. It's similar to the Book Club that I also run, we'll vote on a game to play from the poll conducted by mileswide. Similar to what I did for the Book Club, the list for the Game Club will include all games that got 100+ points. Her...

I tried emulating a game before but couldn’t figure it out but if you could provide some advice for that than it should be no problem. Unfortunately, outside of some funky stuff with the NES and SNES minis I probably have less experience than you with emulation. There is the Emulation Wiki if you n...

Slint's Spiderland Spiderland seems like an album that you would find from just randomly browsing Bandcamp. I'm shocked that it came out the same year as Nevermind, Blue Lines, Achtung Baby, Loveless, and Ten. Suicide's self titled debut This album seems somehow both ahead of it's time and of it's t...
