I had the great pleasure of working on this showcase again. There are some real killers in the lineup this time. Worth a watch!

I haven’t really played games for like a year or more but @skatestory.com releasing tomorrow with that @bloodcultures.bsky.social soundtrack… ooof. I’m downloading drivers and software updates. Keeps bringing me back.

It's Giving Tuesday at the VGHF! We've had an incredible 2025, but we need your help to make sure we can continue doing our charitable work in 2026 and beyond. We just launched our annual Winter Fundraiser campaign, please give if you're able (and share this post!). http://gamehistory.org/donate

Let’s get on our way, Los Angeles. Follow raeforla.com for more information. #RaeforLA #LosAngeles

Irma Vep remains the goat and nobody knows.

It’s weird that my mayor lives in NYC while I live in Los Angeles, but life is weird like that sometimes.

Oh, what a happy day.

More game coverage should be like the golden era of 1UP.

Haha amazing - best game show ever

If anybody wants to fund a prestige television show that starts with a bunch of knuckleheads making gaming magazines and websites and ends a few seasons later with a very conservative gaming industry and a side order of fascism, I’ve got some good ideas.

Oof. Bitter sweet revisiting this... the credits roll on 1UP is the size of three or four full outlets in today's games media landscape. This a video game podcast from twenty years ago. The industry has grown considerably since then. wtf.

The 1UP Show was one of the biggest influences in my media career and inspired me to create video content. Seeing how cool their office was and the creativity that oozed from each episode, they really raised the bar. What Casey Neistat did to vlogging they did to video games media.

I have no idea if The 1UP Show is actually the foundational text to modern games media that it always will feel like to me, but, man, what a great little thing that brought videogames out of darkened living rooms and message boards and into the light.

If you choose to praise the show today, please do so only in contemporary vernacular. It’ll make me smile.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true. I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had. I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Dreaming of a @carolineloveglow.bsky.social shoegaze record. With her songwriting, I bet it would be an instant forever favorite.

Old dog learning new trick.

New Dijon album is great. This track, in particular, goes: youtu.be/AJGS18kol_U?...

Best Television Episodes Twin Peaks S3E8 Mad Men S4E7 The Bear S3E1 Runners up The Andor Jailbreak. Probably like 1-2 of the weird Atlanta ones. And like two other episodes from The Bear season 2.

Perfect song. On repeat. youtu.be/6cxVXm5ucs0?...

I was at this show, front and center. It was mesmerizing in the best possible way. youtu.be/5GSdfFP9A_g?...

If you were ever a big @nin.com fan, this video will give you goosebumps and make your face do this 😲 over and over again until 🤯! youtu.be/baSCXS4K4jo?...

This is Chappie

Also, we had a dumb idea for a sketch for @timoflegend.bsky.social‘s intro/outro. That he just ran with it and actually made it good was a sight to behold! Plus, it was very much to do all the “bad” graphics for it. Always wanted to try my hand at a local cable TV commercial 🤣

Much better hat energy in day of the devs

Oh yeah: @area5.bsky.social once again partnered with our good friends at @dayofthedevs.org for today’s showcase. Hope you enjoy the show!

Big Walk goat energy.

This is the project I have been working on for the past few months. Please enjoy… soon.

That Rehearsal episode is an all-time great episode of television. Holy fucking shit jesus goddamn christ.

Listen to Song of the Earth by David Longstreth, played by Dirty Projectors and Stargaze. It reminds me of Smile, but “Pandemic Pet Sounds” is more catchy so I’ll go with that. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Noah Wyle. Jesus christ.

Yep, The Pitt. Yep, Adolescence.

The GenAI Studio Ghiblifying going on right now makes me very, very, sad.

Hey Apple Music: add the device awareness that Spotify has please.

If you are reading this, I have been killed, wrote @HossamShabat | I risked everything to report the truth & now I am finally at rest — this land is ours

They fucking disappeared Hamdan Ballal. Sheer impunity, knowing the US isn't going to say shit. "As he was being treated in an ambulance, soldiers detained him and a second Palestinian man, the [Center for Jewish Nonviolence] said. It said his whereabouts were now unknown."

Damn. That 16mm shot.

“When things should work, but don't work That's the work of all these governors You puzzled up the air with their information Panels have been formed to sell the combination Annual review and a cop on every corner Handing out rewards for snitching on informers Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up”

[derogatory] “Everything’s computer.”

Please call your senators and ask them to vote no on (and filibuster) the continuing resolution to fund the federal government. Congress has the power of the purse, not Musk. There should be written protections in it to stop him from gutting our government.

When the items in my closet fail to bring joy, the prison break sequence in Andor is a good stand-in.

Double feature idea for you: The Straight Story and Perfect Days

Further evidence from Milk that I used to do cool things long ago.

2007: Nobuo Uematsu giving me, @ryanodonnell.bsky.social, and our friend Kyoko a ride up to his summer home in his kei car, which really struggled on some steeper inclines haha. I ran this little clip through an AI program to clean it up, as I’d shot the vid on a portable Sony digital recorder.

SECRET PROJECT REVEAL! Introducing my latest project, "Play With Your Own Junk" — a collection of earth-friendly party games that you can play with stuff you already own. Think of it sort of like a recipe website, but for games. playwithyourownjunk.com

Whoa. 😳☺️

I remain convinced that an Austen adaptation or Regency era, Naughty Dog-style, AAAA videogame with interesting mechanics for courting, dancing, and conversation—no combat—would sell like crazy if marketed properly. Seems crazy that every game has to be sci-fi, fantasy, or contemporary.

What’s the modern day equivalent of having a college radio show? I want to play cool tracks and provide a little context and flavor in between songs for a super small audience.

Adult Jazz. @adultjazz.bsky.social Great fucking band. youtu.be/NYG0Zu6NXCM?...
