Did you have Frostbite in the 1980's? In my latest For the Love of @atari blog post I take a look at this somewhat lesser-known 1983 release from Activision 😄 #Atari2600 #RetroGames #Retrogaming for-the-love-of-atari.blogspot.com/2026/03/a-look…

@MuseumCommodore I really wanted to like ROTR. But the controls were horrible, the power meter mechanic made it near impossible to really play. And yeah, 2 special moves per robot stunk. ROTR 2 was much better.

Rise of the Robots was released in 1994 by Mirage Technologies and published by Time Warner Interactive. While it debuted across multiple platforms (including Amiga, PC, SNES, and Sega Genesis), the Amiga version came in two flavors: one for standard Amiga 500/600 systems and an enhanced AGA version for Amiga 1200/4000, reflecting the platform’s hardware evolution. The game is a one-on-one fighting title set in a dystopian future where players control ECO35-2 (aka Cyborg), tasked with infiltrating Electrocorp to stop rogue robots led by the Supervisor. It promised cutting-edge AI and cinematic storytelling, backed by a soundtrack featuring Queen’s Brian May. Marketed as a technological marvel, the Amiga AGA version boasted pre-rendered 3D graphics with ray-traced visuals, inspired by Terminator 2’s CGI. It required significant resources—2MB of RAM and a hard drive for optimal play—pushing the Amiga’s limits, though the standard version was scaled back for broader compatibility. Despite the hype, Rise of the Robots was panned. Amiga Format gave the AGA version a dismal 23%, citing repetitive gameplay (only two moves per character), sluggish controls, and poor AI that didn’t deliver on its “adaptive” promise. The standard Amiga version scored even lower at 18%, hampered by simpler graphics and load times. Who bought this expecting it to be epic and was disappointed by the final product?

@CaptainTrips519 @JeffWhitmire1 I left with two feet. Whether they're mine or not, I couldn't tell you.

@JeffWhitmire1 @escapekit Did you leave with both your feet?

Holy crap!!! I LOVE this pic!!! @escapekit

Dear anti vaxxers If you want to skip the Covid vaccine at this point, whatever - but do not mess with meningitis That's a whole different level of danger You're playing with fire

@jamiemorgan5984 @MrStoneWWE @WWENXT @WWEDeutschland @WWEUK @ThisIsTNA @ThisIsTNAUK Norman Smiley is one of the few wrestlers I want to meet before I die. You can bet when I do, we're gonna do the Big Wiggle together.

@MrStoneWWE @WWENXT @WWEDeutschland @WWEUK @ThisIsTNA @ThisIsTNAUK I hear all great things about Norman Smiley I have never heard a bad word about Norman Smiley, so I like that his name matches him as a person 🙂

Norman Smiley can teach more holds and pins than a brain can even process. A true master on the mat, he’s someone I first watched as a kid during the WCW Starrcade Collision Course tournament. Fast forward to 2003, wrestling him in TNA was unforgettable because let’s be real, not many can say they got big wiggled (and if you don’t know, you should know). This week, my #BuiltFromStone highlight goes out to a selfless coach and all-around great human being. Norman is the man and he deserves every bit of credit he already gets, and then some. From his FCW days to every era of NXT, he’s helped countless wrestlers grow, and his impact can’t be overstated.

As a staunch Zionist, let me say without hesitation, arrest these criminals and throw the book at them. Violent tribalism should never be accepted. If we're going to have peace in the region, we can't let extremists control the narrative through acts of terror.

@MuseumCommodore The Atari 2600 joystick

Best joystick for Commodore 64 gaming?

@JeffWhitmire1 Totally worth the 7 hour drive each way

@JeffWhitmire1 @BarelyAshley I needed a reliable bodyguard. Otherwise I'd right now be drugged and stuffed in a bean bag chair with my feet cut off.

@BarelyAshley @escapekit Because this was the bachelor party! He behaved. I promise! 😅

Anytime I get the chance to hang out with my good buddy @escapekit at a horror con, I'm gonna do it! This was so much fun!!

Check out this new review from @musiquemachine1 for our movie CAPE COD CTHULHU :) #ActorsLife #SupportIndieFilm #HPLoveCraft #MovieScene @PoloniaBros_Ent @SRSCinema musiquemachine.com/reviews/review…

Mamdani's wife posts slurs against gays, Jews and blacks that are so bad nobody will even quote them in full. Think about that: no decent person will say what she said, even to quote her. share.google/7ADgojx3vKUUa7…

He’s not wrong.

Let me be clear. I don’t support AIPAC. Quite the opposite. But I also have major issues with Track AIPAC. It’s a shady project.   Track AIPAC isn’t a neutral watchdog. It’s a political operation with its own PAC and a very clear agenda.   If AIPAC is your red line, fine. Draw it. But at least make sure the numbers you’re using are real. 🧵

@street_trashed Personally speaking, I’ll take cheap seats in the nosebleed section for any concert or comedy show. I’m there to listen, not to watch.

came all the way to leeds to see a comedian. travelled this far because the seats were cheaper.. obviously i didn't think about the fact that the cheap seats are high in the fucking sky. decided now that my fear of heights would kick in. i am nearly in tears 😂 fucking idiot.

@JeffWhitmire1 @quotetheraven79 If only the people they hired to do it could master the art of fast printing. I didn’t get my copy until a quarter after 5.

@escapekit @quotetheraven79 CF has mastered the art of the great photo op!

Eihi Shiina gives the option to autograph in Kanji or English. This was an easy call for me!

@Sinnful_Redhead @JeffWhitmire1 I mean, he was in Worcester last August…

@escapekit @JeffWhitmire1 This is true. I always wonder if he's just humoring you all. I don't know. I just wanna meet the man, the myth, the legend some day

Jeffrey Freaking Combs!!!! @Sinnful_Redhead

@quotetheraven79 @JeffWhitmire1 And the in costume op was the other half of the reason I made the trip down. It was sick.

@quotetheraven79 @JeffWhitmire1 That was the nice thing about creature feature. Almost everyone was 40-60 per autograph, and most included a selfie with one. I think the only real outlier was Jeffrey combs, who was 50 for an auto and 80 for a combo.

@JeffWhitmire1 What can I say? I’m the one crazy friend who’ll drive halfway across the country just to listen to one set.
