Cult classic Sports game Parody “Blase Ball” is returning on November 1st with simplified mechanics in an attempt to encourage new players to pick up the game.

What is Blaseball?

Uh…. yeah about that. Blaseball is a fantasy sports baseball simulation that runs through your browser. Thats what it is, like, objectively. It also an absurdists paradise of players with 87 fingers, blood rain and rules where the most popular team in the last season have to run an extra base every match. What Blaseball is and How Blaseball is are often 2 different things entirely. Athletes can Be incinerated, resurrected from the dead via necromancy, and at least one “athlete” is a pitching machine. and another is a biblically accurate Angel. I mean very recently the whole game disappeared into a black hole, so…

Blaseball simulated sports are actually in a cool little cycle with the fanbase, as fans write fanfiction that becomes cannon and design the characters to the point where whats dev intended and what the community made has become unclear.

What is short circuits

Show Circuits is the upcoming season of Blaseball and is going to be less of a single overarching league (like real baseball) and more a series of pocket universes that act as minigames.

Short Circuits will take place over 2 weeks, with a whole season of Blaseball a week, and will have a simplified betting and election system over the Blaseball we all first learned of back in 2020 during the lockdowns, which *should* help things be more understandable for new players.

I should note this isn’t the future for Baseball, this is just a temporary event. The developers, The Game Brand will be sending out surveys to players upon completion to try to ascertain if the changes work for the game. Normal service will resume… Eventually? Again, whole site got sucked into a black hole we… we dont know anymore.

You are now able to play over 900 classic arcade games in your browser, for FREE!!

What a joyous bit of news for a gloomy Monday morning! There are so many things right with this.. Classic arcade games, over 900 of them and for FREE!

We have Internet Archive to thanks for this, who are a San Francisco-based non-profit that collect web pages, audio and other info that exists in digital format. Golden Axe and Dig Dug are but a few amongst the wonderfully ancient games you can play, and find, at the Internet Arcade. 

“Of the roughly 900 arcade games (yes, nine hundred arcade games) up there, some are in pretty weird shape – vector games are an issue, scaling is broken for some, and some have control mechanisms that are just not going to translate to a keyboard or even a joypad,” programmer Jason Scott said. “But damn if so many are good enough. More than good enough. In the right browser, on a speedy machine, it almost feels perfect. The usual debates about the ‘realness’ of emulation come into play, but it works”.

All very exciting stuff and if you come across any that you used to play then do let us know how you like it!
