I love it.

Well I beat it.

Please, and I can’t stress this enough, shut the fuck up.

Someone finally let me write about Virtual Boy. Incredible. www.uploadvr.com/virutal-boy-...

I bought my wife an $800 Land Rover with a blown engine, and I've been rebuilding it for the past couple of days. She came out to see me today while I was working on it and she literally gasped and said "Oh no, you're bleeding!" Sweet innocent fool. Our lives have been so much different.

Virtual Boy freaks, it’s our time.

This is sick. I wrote about my love for Virtual Boy months ago here www.lowpolypigeons.com/blog/life-is...

Just a reminder that our latest issue featuring @sega-west.bsky.social Shinobi is now on sale. Read about the iconic series and the amazing new game by @lizardcube.bsky.social It's in shops now.

Happy (US) birthday to the friendliest and my favorite video game console of all time. @sega-west.bsky.social

I chatted with @kt.uvula.jp about his breakout Katamari Damacy, and newest game To a T (one of my favorites of the year). I'm so happy with how this article turned out. Many thanks to the team at @retrogamermag.bsky.social for their trust and effort. Get yours in stores or here shorturl.at/s3DKN

They are once again letting me write 3000 words on one of my favorite video games.

I played the first two hours of Death Stranding last night and then went to bed. Twenty minutes after falling asleep, I woke up and wrote 1200 words of a short story that’s actually good? Hideo Kojima is a wonderful creator.

Grateful for the space to share this.

So grateful for the opportunity to chat with Tetsuya Mizuguchi, a game creator I've admired since Rez and the Dreamcast days. We discussed his amazing career, creative philosophy, and the upcoming Lumines Arise. 🙏😭 Lovely UploadVR article dropping tomorrow! Big magazine feature coming next month!

Sweet!

I've chatted with the makers of Lumines Arise and played the demo quite a bit, so I'm happy to share this news post that you all can get a first taste of what will surely be a phenomenal game (coming Nov 11). Demo out now. www.uploadvr.com/lumines-aris...

I reviewed @milkyteastudios.bsky.social's Grit and Valor 1949 for @uploadvr.com. It's an alternative history WWII mech combat strategy game with elements of tower defense and rogeulites, and it's one of the coolest VR strat games I've played in years. www.uploadvr.com/grit-and-val...

My first 5 on Steam. Look at that gap. Wow.

I was so dead tired during this conversation, but it really made (and makes) me so happy. I can’t wait until the articles that come out of this one start landing where they’re going to land. Thank you so much Tetsuya Mizuguchi. And endless thanks to Kyoko Yamashita for helping make this happen.

In the current media landscape, where great writers are losing their jobs and thoughtful criticism is losing ground to ragebait and the anger economy of social media, people forget that the best and easiest thing you can do is just share links to good pieces of work. Flood the place with quality.

Had a chat and some smiles with Tetsuya Mizuguchi, with help from Kyoko. Both were so kind and generous as we discussed Miz’s incredible career, game design and philosophy, and the upcoming Lumines Arise! Lots of magazine and site articles cooking from this one. I feel so lucky and grateful.🙏

Looks amazing, as always.

I mean, just do yourself a favor and like, skip em both? Ask me for a list of a games that will actually benefit your psyche and I got you. It ain't this.

Exer-Gale asks, "What if Star Fox made you tired?" My preview for @uploadvr.com is here. www.uploadvr.com/exer-gale-ea...

For @uploadvr.com, I recently went hands-on with Neolithic Dawn, a VR survival game with an interesting generational re-spawn perma-death system. www.uploadvr.com/neolithic-da...

That’s a great question.

I have this rule that if I see the fourth best XBOX game of all time in a store in 2025 I have to buy it.

“Please learn to count.”

Have you played Dolphin’s Dream or are you terminally uncool?

I’m talking with Tetsuya Mizuguchi tonight. This is very cool.

Good picture. Someone should make a great bird photography game. I mean, another one. Casual Birder is great.

Unpopular opinion and people will roll their eyes but I’m gonna say it jic people wise up and I can say I was right all along: I’m dreading the next year of battlefield coverage. Games media needs to stop prioritizing this shit and focus on what makes games interesting.

Well this stinks.

This one by @marioprime.bsky.social is great.

Staff writer on a retro gaming magazine. 😁

New @edgemagazine.bsky.social and @retrogamermag.bsky.social have hit stores in the USA! Grateful to be in this RG covering one of my favorite Atlus RPGs. 🙏

Two things: 1) I can’t possibly overstate how deeply I fucking hate what the nazis did back in the day, nor how much I hate them, past present and future. 2) Is there a way for me to watch the SDCC panels online? Extra 3rd Thing) Fuck nazis.

Made a video showing off the best video game music you've never heard of. youtu.be/U4oUvi3xMlQ?...

Came home from a vacation and immediately transplanted a Dreamcast guts into this black shell. It’s gorgeous.

After kind of a bummer bit of writing news today, I have to post a little win and remind myself of how lucky and grateful I am to get to work on cool projects with incredibly thoughtful people. I’m in this book with some truly wonderful game writers and I’m so thankful. Hope you all enjoy the book!

In the last 2 months I have: Interviewed Keita Takahashi for 6-page feature on Katamari Damacy and preview of To a T. interviewed Atlus game director Kazuyuki Yamai for 6-page feature on Raidou Kuzunoha. Interviewed Simon Flesser, co-founder of Simogo, for a feature on Sayonara Wild Hearts. 1/3

So many video game enjoyers seem to not enjoy video games, so here’s my love letter to the most hated Nintendo game system ever made. www.lowpolypigeons.com/blog/life-is...

I’m telling you this is one of the best chill game soundtracks and the tiny viewership is simply a moral injustice. youtu.be/StJV_nRARRw?...

Sleep tight glad I could help.

I wrote an article about the sublime joy of PlayStation 1 scuba diving games and I can’t think of anyone who would want to publish it. 🐠🐡🐟
