Le mockumentary "Lake Mungo" (2008) est un ovni magnifique de sa catégorie, plus intéressé par le trouble de "Twin Peaks" que par les effets putassiers de "Paranormal Activity". www.chaosreign.fr/lake-mungo-j...

“The crowning achievement of this resounding success lies on a metafictional level... video games, in their almost magical way of producing stories, are the literature of tomorrow. Or rather, as TR-49 proves, the literature of today.”

RIP Robert Duvall, one of my favorite actors of all time. For The New York Times I wrote about 11 of his finest performances (10 movies, 1 TV miniseries), all of which are available to stream. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/m...

Grâce aux Jean-Chères d'hier - merci encore à celleux qui ont désormais un peu d'histoire de JV entre leurs mains - nous avons dépassé les 80% de la campagne pour JV 116. Il reste 6 jours, on y croit ! D'ailleurs en atteignant les 25000€, la version PDF sera débloquée 👀 fr.ulule.com/jv116-specia...

Le SELL n'a pas du tout aimé la sortie d'Emmanuel Macron sur les jeux vidéo qui rendraient violent.

NEW: I took a trip down to Obsidian Entertainment to talk about their stunning 2025, in which they somehow shipped three games. They were remarkably candid about their successes, their failures, and their plans for navigating the future. For Businessweek Magazine: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

First glimpse at my upcoming horrific detective game! 🌟 Composed and animated from pieces of films and paintings that haunt my dreams, all rendered in glorious dithering #gamedev #horror

Sense of sight: vision & painting tell us everything we need to know to understand the world. From the great Five Senses series painted by me & my friend Jan Brueghel, 1617. Today is Jan's day.

This individual had no right being in a *Muppets* movie.

I don't need ChatGPT, I can just type any prompts to these two and I can rely on them to kick me out regardless

Tuer des individus sains, c'est précisément le but de cette forme d'exploitation qu'on nomme "élevage", quelle que soit l'échelle. Tout commentaire qui évoque cette séquence sans parler de #spécisme échoue à rendre compte de ce qui se joue actuellement, et chaque jour de l'année.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

🎬 Dans un film d’épouvante glaçant et doux où une famille dysfonctionnelle crée sa propre maison hantée, Dennis Cooper et Zac Farley s’attaquent au fantasme suranné du rêve américain. La critique de «Room Temperature» :

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Pour @mediapart.fr, je suis revenu sur Citizen Sleeper et sur la manière dont ce jeu anticapitaliste tente de donner foi en l'humain, au lieu de démoraliser. Gareth Damian Martin (@jumpovertheage.com) y donne aussi des réponses lumineuses. ⤵️ www.mediapart.fr/journal/cult...

Something I didn't mention in my story yesterday: one of the reasons that Team Cherry had such an enjoyable time making Silksong is that it's 2D. Nice and flat. Don't have to worry about 3D art pipelines. In other words, all video games should be 2D

BREAKING: BioShock 4 developer Cloud Chamber is laying off an unspecified number of staff. Also, former Diablo boss Rod Fergusson is taking over as Cloud Chamber's new studio head. More than a decade ago, he joined the troubled BioShock Infinite and helped salvage that game's production.

First Trailer in 7 days…

Just a reminder that you gotta fight this in Look Outside. Out now on Steam.🪟👀

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

J'ai essayé de regrouper ce qu'on comprend aujourd'hui de cette nouvelle filiale magique qui pourrait bien s'appeler « Ubisoft Nova ». Avec au passage un certain nombre d'interrogations que m'ont confiées des employé·es de l'éditeur français.

En cette journée de grève du jeu vidéo, voici le fil des résultats financiers de Sony, histoire d'aider à constater à quel point l'industrie du jeu vidéo va mal et est obligée de licencier.

Le jeu vidéo français vit sa toute première grève générale, ce jeudi 13 février ; une révolution dans cette industrie culturelle qui brasse des milliards d'euros chaque année. @olivierbenis.bsky.social ➡️ l.franceinter.fr/OEi

🐬 Le parc aquatique Marineland d'Antibes, qui se présente comme le premier zoo marin d'Europe, a annoncé "son projet de fermeture définitive à compter du 5 janvier 2025", invoquant la loi de 2021 qui interdit les spectacles de cétacés.
