are you looking for both information on an EXIT game and a good example of what a "fine." review looks like from me? well EXIT: The Venice Conspiracy has both http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/29/exit-the-venice-conspiracy/

look if you can trust What's Eric Playing for one thing it's that I'm not gonna let y'all go without seeing games that are really pretty to look at so here's my review of Mercurial: Alchemia, hitting KS soon http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/29/mercurial-alchemia/

Fuck off with that large language model horseshit

i sincerely hope that they keep making sports dice games until I'm dead and buried (sports dice: basketball review) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/22/sports-dice-basketball/

pushy pushy penguins would have been a fun name too, though it would have brought to mind hungry hungry hippos (this is a review) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/22/push-push-penguin/

I have no idea why I kept typing twonkle twonkle when I was writing this review, but if you catch any instances of it please let me know thanks maybe I'm just sleepy http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/15/twinkle-twinkle/

all this magical city needs is motorcycles and then we're really cooking (duel for cardia review) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/15/duel-for-cardia/

bit risky to name a game "tearable" but hey I still had a good time with Tearable Quest (review) please appreciate how much work using all the discarded scrap paper for the photo was http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/08/tearable-quest/

it's games with a major horizontal component week on what's eric playing? (i'm running out of distinct themes) kick it off with a Time to Panic review from IV Studio! http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/09/01/time-to-panic/

squabblin? with my goblins? it's more likely than you think (a nuanced review of squabblin goblins) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/25/squabblin-goblins/

I think the sign for this photo should be BOARD GAME REVIEW (this was funnier in my head) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/25/caution-signs/

a murder mystery game, starring you! (dying message from oink games review) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/18/dying-message/

I just really like bag-building games, y'all (let's check out the upcoming Satchel Quest!) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/18/satchel-quest/

it's theme park time (let's talk about the new button shy game - lands of amazement) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/11/lands-of-amazement/

(to the moonraker theme) moonrollers that actually might have been the goldfinger theme in my head, but here's the review anyways http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/11/moonrollers/

heard y'all were talking about hot game art

It's also worth talking about the accessibility issues on the show floor itself. I saw plenty of scooters, wheelchairs, and strollers that were having a Pretty Bad Time trying to get through the traffic flow, and that was causing downstream movement issues.

I can't wait to get back to Seattle and Pizza Pizza Yum Yum, which is the noise I make before eating a pizza (the game is fun too) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/04/pizza-pizza-yum-yum/

fresh outta gen con, here's a pangolin hacker board game review (PWNED!) http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/08/04/pwned/

That's a wrap on Gen Con! If I got to see you, it was lovely, and if I didn't see you, hopefully I'll catch you at PAXU! Unfortunately I overestimated my energy and needed to rest haha. Until next time!, I said, logging off of social media for an indeterminate period of time. ❤️

Most ridiculously depressing thing today was someone who came up to our booth asking if we were selling a game. We were not, because we don't make that game! (And no, not Asmodee). Why did he think this? He showed phone with Gemini stating "Asmadi Games, producers of [game X], bla bla bla" (1/2)

"I asked ChatGPT" Why not instead ask me instead over a nice glass of amontillado, I have a cask in my basement if you'll just follow me

This one did make me laugh

You ever just see a hotel go too hard for Gen Con? What's next, dice?

Temporarily ending social media cleanse for Gen Con shenanigans. Going back off once Gen Con is done though. See you in Indy if you're around!

if i call this game pitch perfect one more time i'm going to quit reviewing forever anyways here's a PICTURE Perfect review http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/07/28/picture-perfect/

this game is on fireee - alicia keys probably humor my terrible joke and read this Fuego review, maybe? http://whatsericplaying.com/2025/07/28/fuego/

Happily returning to social media to really emphasize to y'all that buying or supporting anything HP-related in 2025 is "wild" on the anti-trans scale. Esp. now, the trans community deserves so much more than your indifference. Also, Harry Potter Codenames? Come on. Anyways byeeee
