This is the kind of magazine page that 90s-kid-me would stare at for hours fantasizing over. Even looking at it now, it’s surprisingly easy for me to ignore the objective technical limitations and get hyped.

That’s Kotaku for you.
I’ve never beaten the game, but I recently, FINALLY, completed Death Mountain. And I’m pretty happy about that.
Classic KITH.
“I have a chainsaw you can borrow.”
winces “Ooooh…I’m an AXE murderer.”
“Oh, lord. He’s made of bone.”
Fiend! The purse you clutch is my own! I know you not!
