Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Queenslander ordered to pay $350,000 plus interest and costs as judge finds his video about American gamer Billy Mitchell was ‘recklessly’ based on false claim
I've been following this, it's a shame as Billy is a POS and needs karma, but karl and his team really fumbled the court case. I'm not surprised at the verdict from the judge as the case was never really about his known cheating, but the seemingly now false claim from karl about apollo's passing being attributed to billy, and his lack of willingness to meaningfully backtrack and apologise for the claim.
Jobst also has his own controversies that were shown on Discord so I can't have much sympathy for him either. He is just one step away from that old tired angry at everything right wing manosphere.
"angry at everything right-wing manosphere"? What on earth are you talking about? lol You must be a libtard looking in the mirror again.
Dude crossed a line when he made that claim about Apollo. Seems the second that was brought up the courts lost all interest in the cheating allegations and just focused on that instead.
What i find interesting is that i had only really been exposed to Jobst's content in respect of the court cases, so I thought it was a slam dunk that Billy would lose. Goes to show the dangers of relying on one interested party's 'version' of the facts I guess.
I am still left in no doubt that Mitchell is a scum bag mind you, and it really stings to thing of him getting that pay out too.
I don't support either side passionately. One is a accused cheater with a lot of evidence against him, and the other has allegedly said some pretty spice stuff in the past. With this court case settled now I guess both of them at some point has told lies. I would think the right side to back is the one that is trying to prove Billy cheated.

This person obviously doesn't realize just how poorly made most olympic games really are. They are the worst of the worst. The only decent one is Mario & Sonic.
The English would buy any olympic type games right now simply to rep their country, which is understandable, but they won't be playing any quality olympic game.
Saw a video recently of USA vs. Japan in a Street Fighter 4 tournament.
Honestly, it was laughable. USA won the first round of fights, commentaters where having sly digs at the Japanese player, crowd were chanting 'USA, USA' etc then the entire USA team got owned by the next Japanese player. Hardly a word was spoken in this time.
I persoanally loved how the USA commentators attitude changed from 'getting owned son!' to 'Street Fighter 4: Arse Edition' when losing but most will just see that as childish.
Anyway, EVO basically fills this requriement.
The problem is gaming in a professional sence is no where near popular enough and has great amount of negative stigma. I agree archery,shooting.... require more skill than physical effort and in that way are similar to gaming but gaming still has this immature side to it that makes traditioning into an olympic style thing almost impossible. I feel the whole industry would have to change to a more mature attitude before we can start thinking about this.
