Found out I was mentioned on yesterday's H3 Podcast and it was them putting words in my mouth and trying to discredit everything I, and Insider Gaming, have done. So that's cool...

Tomorrow morning

Today marks three years since I joined @insider-gaming.com after leaving the industry altogether. Over 3,000 stories and dozens of exclusives later, I'm doing what I love: telling stories I can't thank @tomhenderson.bsky.social for bringing me back into the mix. Here's to even more from IG!

Very much agree with this. It’s bizarre that TGA has a category for fighting games that it can barely fill with actual new releases every year, but there is no mechanism for honoring either puzzle games or puzzle design. It’s a foundational genre with a booming scene.

The Xbox 360 is 20 years old. That means Madden 06 is 20 years old. Never forget the worst Madden teaser trailer ever. Madden 06 was nothing like this when we got our hands on it for the 360 that year.

Another exclusive, another wave of people just giving away the full story contents in their posts. Games media is suffering enough, and this just adds to that. This is why we ultimately launched Insider Gaming Premium/Premium+ to offset the income lost when people do this.

15 is not barely legal. 15 is still a child. He was still a pedophile. This woman might have the same brain worm as RFK.

Today's the day, y'all

One reason I love, and will always love, physical: There is nothing better than getting a game my kids want for their birthday/Christmas and seeing them open it. You don't get that joy and experience with an all-digital experience.

I've just discovered South Arcade, and I think I have a new band to endlessly listen to

What will make/break the Steam Machine is price. If it comes out priced $700+ it's going to turn a lot of people off. I think $500/$550 should be the max.
