HandsomeDead Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 HBomberGuy is now doing his 100% run of Donkey Kong 64 (the dude who did the speed run video I posted about) now: Oh, this is why he's doing it. A bit of a fuck you to Graham Lineham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What started off as a stream to raise a little bit of money and having some other lefty YouTubers on it totally got traction and ended up raising over $340k for a trans charity. To put that in perspective, the lottery grant that was pulled because of a shitty campaign was £500k to be spread over 5 years. So they're covered nearly two years from this silly stream. It seems Graham Linehan (the charity was partially chosen to spite him) became aware of it and accidently signal boosted it a little. Then more and more high profile people signal boosted it further. It started with the likes of Jim Sterling and Grant Kirkhope taking part, to a huge amount of trans YouTubers, and the DOOM's John Romero, Chelsea Manning, Jack Black and even Queen of the Millennials herself, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez turning up for a quick chat. I was actually watching when that happened, it was insane. I don't think there has been anything quite like this. It was so odd seeing this happening around a tired man playing Donkey Kong 64. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Also, Kong might now become an icon of trans movement, which is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I saw a little bit of it last night (I was watching GBi when AOC was on so switched over out of curiosity). It's a cool thing, hard not to root for the guy, and kind of crazy he was at 50 hours at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 For want of finding a Retro Topic I'll put this here: Usborne Books have put their coding & programming books from the 1980s online, free to view - those that encouraged you to learn BASIC and gave programmes to type in, and explained them along the way. So for a bit of nostalgia just ignore all the new stuff they're trying to sell and scroll to the bottom of this link: https://usborne.com/browse-books/features/computer-and-coding-books/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 @Maf A little tidbit I saw floating around, you might enjoy: Quote Last year, news broke that Game Freak originally intended for Pikachu to have a second evolution after Raichu. Gorochu was intended to be a menacing monster, complete with a pair of horns and fangs. However, Game Freak cut Gorochu for balance reasons and it seemed likely that we'd never actually get to see what Pikachu's final evolution was supposed to look like, until now... - The Fortress of Nerditude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviews with the team who developed Morrowind. Just little anecdotes and stories from different aspects of the game. Really interesting read and it comes across as a real labour of love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
