It’s time to dive into the final DLC before wrapping up Control for real. As it seems to lay the groundwork for a sequel, does it do enough to encourage us that Control 2 might redeem the politics of the main quest’s ending? youtu.be/Oc3m8BVNbsU

We find Marshall at last, and the tension between Former and the Board seems like it will underpin Control 2. If tensions rise between Jesse and the Board, could this undermine the FBC as a whole in the sequel? We can only hope… youtu.be/Aq2IQKkb8Bo

The people have spoken, SIGNALIS will be the next game streamed! Will likely start in the first week or 2 of March, watch this space!

Live with Silent Hill f! www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt

been just over a week since this gem dropped on YouTube, go show it some love and leave a comment with your Lynchian thoughts

Jesse finally gets to talk to her brother Dylan, but it isn't as cathartic or as illuminating as she hopes it will be. To process, we take her on a long walk around the Oldest House and help Ahti with his janitorial work... youtu.be/wswvsslwkXc

Gonna do tomorrow at this time instead!!! Sorry for the runaround 😂

Apologies for the short hiatus! Sara is gonna stream some more Silent Hill f tomorrow at 6.30pm GMT twitch.tv/gameassistyt

May I suggest the music made by a Palestinian composer? It's none other than MARKSYE who you should be familiar with from games like Boyfriend Dungeon, Thirsty Suitors and more marskye.bandcamp.com

Sara has been bravely playing this name on default difficulty, but starts having trouble killing the evil boss mushroom, and it's time to utilise the accessibility settings! youtu.be/xSOJsHnujoA

speaking of "who am I killing and why", may I recommend this gem 🧛 I have yet to try my own Eat the Rich playthrough! youtu.be/HqylVjj_OLw?...

Full video now live on YouTube!!! Go ahead and leave some comments with your thoughts, we're really excited to hear them

Sign the @nogamesforgenocide.com pledge to boycott! ✊🏽

Game Assist consistently deliver some of the most thorough and insightful political criticism in games. Really can't wait to get to this one.

Resuming our search for Jesse's brother Dylan (then quickly getting sidetracked once again), we find him in an area of the Oldest House chillingly named "the panopticon"... sound the Foucault klaxon everyone!

get ready get ready

million views for the thumbnail and the sneak peek photos alone 👍👍👍🙂‍↕️

Today’s the day!!! “David Lynch in Games: The Politics of the Surreal” going live at 6pm GMT youtu.be/xhojVR8vRjk?...

In the spirit of David Lynch, we’ve done some out-of-the-box stuff compared to what we usually do on the channel, including a couple of Lynch-inspired skits we hope you’ll enjoy… Here’s a sneak peek of one of them...

At the behest of Jesse's problematic lesbian girlfriend , Sara gets sidetracked and heads off in search of Dr Underhill, a rude English researcher who wants to boss us around. For some reason we end up fighting supernatural mushrooms. Just another day at the FBC! youtu.be/vZVckBhoO2o

you don’t wanna miss this one

soooo... i may be in this playing a character that will be familiar to fans of David Lynch... and also myself (a very Lynchian duality, you could say)

definitely biased cos im in this but it's good and you should watch it!!

On Monday 2 February at 6pm GMT, grab two cookies and a Gaza Cola, and join us for Game Assist’s first ever video podcast! We talk about David Lynch’s influence on games and the politics of the surreal for 3 hours, and we’ve even made some skits for you… Link to the premiere in reply!

We start heading into Black Rock Processing and learn more about the FBC's need for (super)natural resources - which begs the question, how is the FBC's hoarding of resources connected to the wider evil political goals of this American imperialist government organisation? youtu.be/GykSFN2K90M

This is where I'll remind everyone of @nogamesforgenocide.com and their general ask that, out of solidarity with BDS and Palestine, products under the Xbox and Microsoft gaming umbrellas not be covered by journalists or influencers nogamesforgenocide.com

so @gameassistyt.bsky.social's video essay channel is almost at 3k subscribers, if you're into video games and liberation politics i know you want to subscribe SO bad oooooo

Jesse looks for Marshall, the Head of Operations at the FBC, and a notable exception to the pale, male and stale make up of Director Trench's leadership team. The only black woman in the organisation is steely and enigmatic... what do we make of her? youtu.be/bCJKeqeqDgY

Live with Silent Hill f! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

The role of the janitor emerges as an interesting theme in the wider politics of the game, the tension between Jesse's "normality" and the strange role thrust upon her. Meanwhile, let's talk American imperialist yuri! youtu.be/oTNVqc19HcE

Today marks a year since the passing of David Lynch. In his spirit, we are going to drop this incredibly vague teaser of something we've been cooking up, which may or may not be related to him. Watch this space 👀

Jesse navigates the discomfort, tension, and strange allure (keep an eye on that) of her new designation as Director of the FBC. She makes contact with the Board via a very Lynchian telephone, and if you have a bad feeling about this, you're probably on the right track. youtu.be/rRnh494ChjQ

Sara takes on another Lynch-inspired game with Remedy's Control. Let's check out how the game's politics on American imperialism, domestic anti-insurgency and anti-communism shape up! youtu.be/Huzn40mpHi8

Bethesda still on the BDS boycott list (as it's owned by Microsoft)

Live now!

As Sara can't stream tomorrow in the Monday 6.30pm slot, they're gonna stream some Silent Hill f today at around 3pm GMT twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Sara goes back to finish the Communist Quest, finally bringing this playthrough of Disco Elysium to a close. This seems to offer a more hopeful end to the story than the main quest did. Let's build communism, 0.0001% at a time. youtu.be/jsuMBzEMmAk

This is by far one of my favorite actions that game workers have taken and it happened 41 years ago! Imagine what the games industry would look like if ALL game workers occupied their office buildings whenever they were made redundant. How much power we'd be able to wield.

We have some news: Fizz will be leaving the Game Assist team. We're sad to see him go, but we’re so grateful for him and all the behind the scenes work she's done, especially on art, graphic design and social media. We’re all looking forward to seeing what she does next! 💜

If you haven't already, January is a good time to cancel your Xbox Game Pass in solidarity with Palestine. Read more about the boycott on our website and sign our pledge at nogamesforgenocide.com

What to expect in 2026 is that we're boycotting! And signing the @nogamesforgenocide.com Boycott Xbox pledge

Hell is a teenage girl and January is cold as hell, so Sara is going to start streaming Silent Hill f tonight at 6.30pm GMT! Will aim to stream Mondays at this time every 1-2 weeks (schedule on Twitch). Let's see how woke this game really is 🥀 twitch.tv/gameassistyt
