Can anyone help me get in touch with Dave Thach of PlayStation Studios for a really cool article that I’m writing?

Open the schools

Stranger Than Heaven looks like a masterpiece from a creative team that’s perfectly honed their output. Star Fox looks like my dreams after playing 64 every day for three months when I was 12 years old. Will and Mix Tape are doing beautiful things with story. Games are cool. Back to writing.

Star Fox looks great.

Taking a metal health break.

We make nice things over at Lost In Cult

Top 15 favorite TV shows gut instinct. Home Movies Futurama Cowboy Bebop Star Trek TNG Mystery Science Theater 3000 X-Files Top Gear (Clarkson Hammond May) Big City Greens Frasier FLCL if that counts Full Metal Panic (guilty pleasure) Inspector Morse Idk. I don’t watch TV and I’m a nerd.

Can’t stop thinking about the ending of Pragmata. Aside from Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Rocket,” I’m hard pressed to think of another piece of work that more perfectly explores what fatherhood means to me specifically than Pragmata. Early thoughts, but I think that game might be perfect.

Pragmata finished. Perfect game. Amazing ending. Overall story really articulates what it means to not only love a child unconditionally, but to be selfless in that relationship, as a parent should be. 10/10. I need my friends at Lost in Cult to let me write about this one.

Very cool art on this one.

Well, the Bruins need to win one period of hockey if they want to keep playing hockey this year. Let’s see what happens.

I have an idea for a book about video games that would be very fun and interesting to write and to read.

Came in from doing some yard work today to find my two daughters yelling and screaming at the same time, realized a moment later they were playing Rogue Piñatas together. A game I reviewed some time ago. www.uploadvr.com/rogue-pinata...

Don't let this [lock-on] out of your sight! 🎯https://www.lostincult.co.uk/lockon Featuring cover art of Death Stranding ( @en.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp ) and @expedition33.bsky.social from Luan Tie and Entei Ryu, [lock-on] returns for its 7th issue in a fresh annual composition.

If you like games…

Wrote a quick piece on Marrow Marrow, a fast-paced demon-slaying VR shooter. www.uploadvr.com/marrow-marro...

Teaching the children about culture.

If you're a freak for cool games, you must buy this. www.lostincult.co.uk/shop/p/immor...

"Incredibly tiny subset of irrelevant freak weirdos you'd never talk to in real life being weird about something on the internet. Our 10,000 word report."

Looks like Pragmata is another game I'm gonna have to simply enjoy the hell out of while ignoring any and all discourse about it on the landfill that we call "the internet."

Image edited because you don’t need to know when this tripe is landing in theaters, but I wanted to grab your attention so I can very clearly say that Call of Duty is filthy garbage propaganda that knocked the video game industry back 20 years as a developing form of art and expression. Boycott COD.

Good

Really have to remember all the things I should be grateful for tonight. And whoever sees this, I’m wishing you the best.

He’s just a little fella

Clothes for men are awful. Why can’t I have the seagull knitted sweater?

It’s been a nice day. Reading Game Informer. Listening to the third greatest video game soundtrack of all time, Vib Ribbon. Petting the new puppy. Wow. I hope you’ve had a nice day too.

Very few things as simultaneously painful and funny as writing articles that require you to listen to a recording of yourself being a yammering goofy dummy while interviewing the coolest and smartest people you’ve ever spoken with. 😆 (Game devs who made the best shit in the ‘90s.) oh well 🙏

I reviewed Star Trek: Infection, a new survival horror game set in the Star Trek universe. www.uploadvr.com/star-trek-in...

You know an article is a banger when you’ve read most of it crouched in the aisle before you even buy the magazine. 🤣 Great work on this one @brianpshea.bsky.social and @gameinformer.com. I really can’t wait for Pragmata.

Retro Gamer is letting me write a piece for them this month. I just started collecting screenshots and playing the featured game. Aside from spending time with my family, this is my favorite thing that happens in my life. 🙏

Alright so I got my girls a little black lab. WE NEED A NAME! Help me think of a nice name for this little bear. We like books and video games, I feel like there’s gotta be some name in there somewhere.

A new friend.

How is it @edgemagazine.bsky.social is so cool every month???? Also an interview with my fav Tetsuya Mizuguchi in this one! Wow.

At Pax East I was reunited with Steel Battalion, which I spent all my money to buy new when I was a teenager back in the day. We had a mini tournament. And I still got it.

Imagine getting paid to write about books for the NYT and being too stupid and lazy to do it.

I miss when games and computers weren’t mainstream because that meant we could have cool stuff without the moneyed class ruining it. Success has brought parasites.

Tank controls are fine you’re all babies.

King of the bus king of the bus I’m tired

I’m at PAX today so if you want to say hi lmk. I’ll give you a sticker I made.

Couldn’t be more happy and grateful to say I’m in this latest book from the geniuses at @lostincult.co.uk. The lovely editors there let me do something a bit different with this one, and I truly appreciate it. I hope you Mvania fans love it. www.lostincult.co.uk/metroidvania...

I’m writing something really cool.

A full rundown of this week's @vrgamesshowcase.bsky.social with links to detailed articles for each game. If you missed the show, @jamestocchio.bsky.social & I have you covered.

really hoping they let me write about this one

I reviewed Interlocked, a lovely puzzle game on Quest. www.uploadvr.com/interlocked-...

Spent twelve hours at my desk today (with little movement breaks and breaks to take care of my kids).

PAX East is this week. I’ll be there and would love to meet fun game people. Also, I’ve lived here for 30 years and can tell you all the good places to get food, plus whatever else you need to know about this great and terrible city.

If you're an Atlus game fan and haven't heard the Trauma Center soundtrack, you gotta. And play those games too. Really special games that have sort of been forgotten as Atlus has rocketed into the stratosphere for their RPGs. youtu.be/StJV_nRARRw?...

Today’s amazing thrift shop find.
