I'm also very much looking to pivot into film and TV critique, if anybody has leads on that front.

Anywhere taking pitches currently? Got ideas that I desperately want to write!

WE ARE XBOXXXXXX WE CARRY THE FLAME WE SUPPLY CYBER INFRASTRUCTURE TO ISRAEL IN OUR NAME

Buying one of my favourite games ever a third time? Don't mind if I do

I'm very interested in any part-time or gig work currently, so if anybody is looking for a writer who has done news, reviews, guides and features, please hit me up: [email protected]

games media will post about every Xbox embargo and feign sympathy in accordance to the latest press release about layoffs but they won't post about this

Ryan Plays Pokémon: Are Pokémon above The law? by @easbygames.bsky.social "Something I’ve been thinking about for a while now is whether or not Pokémon are actually beholden to law and order." Read on:

She's home for now but it isn't looking amazing

Found out today that my Betty has a tumor, and we don't knoe how long she has left. Might be quiet for a while.

I’m Aysha, a writer and narrative designer looking for full time and contract work! I’ve worked on Life is Strange, Pathologic, Hiveswap, and Magic the Gathering, to name a few. Hire me while the industry still exists!

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL @joerichardswrites.bsky.social THE GOAT THE JOEAT

My four-year-old son just made his GameSpot debut. You call it nepotism, I call it hard-hitting journalism. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

Beautifully written review that I disagree with. We should all read more criticism we don't align with, especially if it's Ken's

Remember when places took freelance pitches? Pepperridge farm remembers.

Just saw a screengrab of the new Harry Potter trailer and outside of literally everything else, why is it so colorless???

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

For an extra $36, I will stand outside Will's house blaring Crisis City!

Just got out of a podcast recording, did I miss anything big in the world of ga- my god

Dunno why people expect solidarity from the games media and industry at large on AI (or anything, really) when it was proven three years ago that they can't even stay away from a damn Harry Potter game

Skybox has housed some of my favourite writing I've ever done, and we'd love it if you supported us.

I think it's weird for people who are nominally journalists to say things like "We should have waited to see what people think." The issue isn't that you lost the coin flip of public opinion; the issue was that you gave into astonishment. The problem is that the keyjingling got you at all!

Join us in the Skybox, and you too can be part of Will Torture Party 2026

Figured I'd be timely, and after sinking 20 hours into Pokopia, release an article that doesn't even mention the game. Instead, this month I explored a ROK hack designed by a competitive player.

We are still driving! Join us to fund pieces such as "Can a Pokemon stab you and get away with it?" and "What can we work out from the mention of the Minnesota Vikings in The First Movie?"

Never before has a piece of games crit made me both feel like I've been shot in the gut and like I'm floating from how peak it is

I plan to find a way to torture Will if we hit $250.

The Road to 250 begins today! Support us and get cool stuff: - Make Will write more and sleep less! Perfect for support or vengeance! - An entire week of themed pieces! - The satisfaction of fighting against AI slop! - The joy of supporting cool people! All this can be yours!

Skybox has a new goal: $250 a month in subs. We're at $185 now, thanks to a few $1 heroes who saw this thread and subscribed. Bless y'all. I believe we can do $65 more a month. If we get there, I will start a monthly column and we'll put together a week of themed pieces for y'all. Sound good?

Still looking, but with a tinge more desperation!

one of my favorite moments of TNG is when Picard is immediately unable to contain his horse autism

how it feels to pose with oomf when you find some cool sticks

Personal news: I'm leaving my Editor-at-large role at Eurogamer & Gamer Network as part of new cuts. I last year approached my move to Eurogamer & VG247's skeletonization with reluctance, but I ultimately greatly enjoyed giving EG a go. But now after 10yrs & in difficult conditions, it's time to go.

I got real mad and wrote about EVO.

The Future Of Pokemon Is In Its Past by @easbygames.bsky.social "The Legends series is really what I want from mainline Pokémon... introduce a new mechanic, keep that mechanic around and implement it alongside anything new that GameFreak decides to add." Read on: skyboxcritics.com/2026/02/11/t...
