I am drowning.
There is no sign of land.
You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.

And I hope you die.

I hope we both die.

Okay this one I remember from mostly around 2001-2, I played it a ton but the specific name of it escapes me.

It's a competitive game where 4 players/bots are each on a floating platform made up of balloons. A spikey ball bounces around the arena and you deflect it with your bat, trying to send it at other players and pop their balloons. There are various power-ups and such and the player avatars all have this very off the time cartoon-tech aesthetic.

Was that the entire game, or was it a minigame? Do you remember the platform?

That was the whole game.

Played it on Mac, almost certainly was on PC as well.

Trying to figure out the name of a game - it's on PC (Steam), and it was finally released to version 1.0 this year after being in Early Access for a very long time. I remember it had 2d-ish graphics, possibly similar looking to Link to the Past, and I believe it was an RPG of some sort.

EDIT: Never mind, was able to figure it out, it was Secrets of Grindea.

I can't get a proper pic for this but: Law & Order Season 13 Episode 17 "Genius", at about 32:35 in, there's an arcade machine in the background with a terrible towel on it. It looks mostly like a regular arcade cabinet, but white and facing mostly backwards toward the camera. There is a small decal/sideart on it that I can't make out, I'm hoping it's enough for someone to recognize it.

Now the scene's lighting is perfect!
Hm, I cannot find the game again but perhaps I overlooked a title. Looking for a Heroes of Might and Magic-like game I played around 2005 (+/- 3 years). I remember the character portraits looking very appealing to me as they looked (watercolour?) painted instead of pre-rendered or directly drawn on screen which was more common. It had a rather gothy-vibe. Does not seem to be one of the more popular series but I could be mistaken. Any idea? Thank you.

edit: It might have been Disciples unless there is a better fit.

King's Bounty: The Legend is the first HoMM-like I can think of in the 2008 neighborhood. Or King's Bounty: Armored Princess.
