This is one of my favourite videos, it's of the HUGE video game archives at the Strong Museum of Play, a museum in New York which is one of the only ones to have a large video game collection! They've got the games themselves, accessories, consoles, merchandise, as well as paper documents about making them ^^ I'm so glad this is available for anyone to watch

Thanks for appreciating this video game museum with me!

Thursday night I attended the VIP Grand Opening Preview Party at the Strong National Museum Of Play. It was a lovely evening celebrating all the amazing, hard work my Wonder Twin & her colleagues put into the museum expansion & Neighborhood of Play over the last 7 years. It’s been fun hearing inside updates from Lisa over the years. The end result was just as impressive as I imagined. The Hasbro Game Park is magical! I’m a sucker for oversized items & it has a bunch. People are really going to enjoy playing in the new park & taking fun photos. I certainly did. The wine was flowing, the food was tasty (several vegan options!) & Puddles Pity Party provided the night’s entertainment.

The next day I attended the ribbon cutting ceremony & the museum expansion officially opened to the public at 1pm 🎊 If you’re in ROC go check it out, you’ll be glad you did

We are honored to share that the Transformers brand has been inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, part of The Strong National Museum of Play.

Our beloved transforming robots have participated in the National Toy Hall Of Fame selection several times over the last years, but was usually defeated in the final vote. The moment finally arrived, and Transformers has finally been selected as one of the 2024 inductees, together with My Little Pony and Phase 10. You can check it out in the Museum Of Play website.

We did it! Time to celebrate that our franchise is being finally recognized as a brand which has inspired creative play and enjoyed popularity over the years. Till all are one!

Inducted 2024

In the early 1980s, Hasbro secured the rights to Japanese toymaker Takara’s Diaclone and Micro Change line of shape-changing robot toys. Hasbro developed the toys for a U.S. audience and in 1984 premiered Transformers with an elaborate backstory about a war between robots developed by Marvel Comics. The characters split into two fractions: the heroic Autobots—peaceful transport vehicles led by Optimus Prime—facing against the villainous Megatron and his Decepticons. Each of the figures issued in 1984 had its own array of talents and capabilities, which appeared on the Tec Spec Chart and Bio Card packaged with each figure.

Appropriate for the 40th Anniversary.

No, see, because, like, you fucked up. Now you have to write that. I need that. I need the Star Park AU.

Below I will present my case:

1) That name is so freaking cute and I love it

2) Your tags made me fall in love with it

3) I know you have more ideas in that beautiful brain of yours

4) I really want it.

Please see points 1 - 4 if you have any questions.

Aafjdjakak Dude?! I'm cackling!

Fuck it we ball. Please look forward to it I guess.

I'll throw more in the tags!

I know everyone is talking about Mickey Mouse, and, like, yeah, absolutely go insane y'all, do what you've always wanted! ...But I'm admitting now that I am absolutely shit terrified of the original Mickey Mouse and now every post is already a horror movie dear god help me

[onekisstotakewithme]

quick! in the tags: favourite "low key vacation spot"

(as in, you'd go there for long weekends, or is somewhere that when you say you'd go there on vacations, people go "... why?")

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe screengrabs

‼️ SPOILER WARNING ‼️

Alright so the first few are just from replaying all the stuff that was in the HD Remix, just to see some of the texture differences, but I also took some screengrabs just because they’re fun!

I’m so glad this one made it in lol (he is)

I got the paper office! :D

And the whiteboard ending!! Yes!!! Dog mode is terrible though haha ♪

Spamtoncore

This was new! I knew about the Bucket but I hadn’t met them yet so I was just like Hmmm Hmmm Interesting haha

Fall through the floor Part 2 - luckily this was the last one of the initial play session! Still though, load your rooms pls

Alright from here it’s all Ultra Deluxe so watch out!

I want this. Sadge that it’s sold out </3

I just got this one! :D

They!!! So tiny <3 It’s nice to see Mariella’s model as well, I’ve seen Stanley’s a few times but never Mariella from the front!

Just played with this one too, the grandfather <3

Who is this!!! They��re so cute what!!!

This image is probably especially funny to me because it reminds me of a meme I made lol

Hi Stanley, Hi Stanley, haha ♪

There he is. The Narrator turned him into a marketable figure

Very cursed Stanley smile :) He deserves it

Me

See, this dark, infinite abyss makes sense! It all ties together! Brilliance in writing! Lol

My previous point (also implying that Stanley is normal, really, Narrator, you should know better by now)

I appreciate the serial code(?) nameplate lol - this whole section was too strange haha

*heavy breathing* I mean literally what more could I ask for (I did also like the Stanley Parable concept art though haha, and the pause button stuff)

I gotta be honest, I was not sold on this bucket at first, but after this-

EEE, even better!! Yes, I’m onboard on the bucket now, I love Bucket

There is an awful lot of Bucket death in this game huh. Like, Stanley dies a lot too, but we don’t get to see that usually, so it’s oddly visceral

Employee 416 you say 👀 So there was somebody in there initially, until they were moved...? (I like to imagine they also drew the little Stanlurine doodle on the whiteboard lol)

I forgot that this was flagged by the phone call lol, I wonder if anybody has actually counted them

That’s all for this playthrough! If I fall through the floor again, I’ll try to catch it!
