Man do I regret not buying Panzer Dragoon Saga summer of '99. That hefty ~$100 used price tag was just too much. Now we're talking $1K+.

Honestly that's not that bad of a surge for that long of a time and that "rare" of a game imo. Some stuff has really shot up esp Pokemon (for obv reasons 25th anniversary etc).

KOTOR remake confirmed. Timed launch exclusive to PS5 of all things. Sounds like PC has been confirmed by Lucasfilm.

It's Classic Tetris World Championship time again, top 8 main event isn't until next month, but the next two weekends have the top 64 play down to that point:

9/10 1400 ET - Richy, Meme, Koryan, Stone, Sam Finch, Nerdzzzzz, Blank, TTplaya
9/10 1500 ET - Hydrant, Nenu, Jesper, Redshurt, Iball, Dan V, Night, Luis
10/10 1400 ET - Huff, Sidnev, Cheez, Jake, Doge, Sodium, Tugi, Scotto
10/10 1500 ET - Dog, Pokenerd, Jerpidude, Quaid, Lazermonkey, DaAsiann, Guerrero, DMJ
16/10 1400 ET - Pixelandy, Odinn, Moja, Yeezy, Asta, Blau, Ricardo, AdamMts
16/10 1500 ET - Joseph, Nevanator, Rhubarb, Alex T, Benjy, Valor, Greentea, Tsuki
17/10 1400 ET - Fractal, Ben, Tetristime, Clockworker, Melonsoda, Longboy, Marq, Brighton
17/10 1500 ET - Eren, EricICX, Tristop, Ian, Cobalt, Myles, McRacc, Kofi

If you watch any group, watch Huff's group, while last years' semi finalist topped the qualifying for that one, Sidnev's probably a top 5 player in the world and arguably the most improved player in the past twelve months, Cheez is one of many players adopting the new rolling strategy (basically tapping the back of the controller with multiple fingers to register inputs much faster than hypertapping, which has allowed Hydrant to smash the world record with a 1.6 million recently), while any of the other players can easily beat anyone, it's that tough to call.

Failing that, a potential Hydrant/Nenu playoff would be extremely hype, Quaid's one of the few DAS players that's managed to put in a great qualifier(last year, just a mid-900k score would get you in, this year, two maxouts didn't guarantee the main bracket which has seen the likes of Svavar, Sharky and a top 3 DAS player in Hepps not qualify) to potentially face Dog in round two, Greentea returns and we might see a rematch of his semi final from three years ago vs Joseph, while last year's runner up in PixelAndy has an interesting first round game against the best PAL player in the world in Adam

I still suck at the game

Going to be weird without Jonas there.

Indeed. Jeff didn't even make the consolation brackets for 65-128, his wife (who is a good player who I have lost to in the past) has a higher PB than what he managed in his qualifier

quasi-preview and highlights of the qualifiers. was amusing to see that sit on ground guy was the guy i beat in my last match

last 8 broadcast of the above starting now

Tetris is for kids. The big boy games are kicking off later tonight!

Top Excel experts will battle it out in an esports-like competition this weekend

Current rankings:

I just saw that on twitter because I follow an Excel meme account. What has my life became?

I never knew this about the yellow tab EA Genesis games.

Pretty interesting history.

I actually had heard briefly about the yellow tab games but hadn't watched that video yet. It def looked interesting.

Summary:

Wow, that was fascinating. Thanks for the info drop, pope.

I laughed but the truth hit home.

RIP Stadia.
