The long-awaited Doom: The Dark Ages DLC is going to be a quasi-sequel with the huge scope of it. Are you excited for it? Read about the history of the whole Doom series in my upcoming book Doom Video Games from White Owl Books (UK)! Pre-order my book here: www.amazon.com/Doom-Video-G...

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

An important reminder that "GeeOners" are the softest group of fans around.

THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.

Kind of amused by the endless flood of hand wringing news cycles about whether the "gritty" "dark" Punisher can be in the new Spider-Man movie without losing his edge. I love Punisher but he's a comic book character. He's been an angel and a mob boss. In real life he'd be dead in a week.

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

I read this headline in Princess Caroline's voice

youtu.be/r2E8GIcyEgg?... By the matrix! This week's TFABC is out now! Another curveball from Budiansky this week, which starts off heavy on interesting Transformers lore and character stuff, before sharply veering off into...Basically fan fiction, though not how you might expect.

This week I'm solo to discuss Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hope. I game coincidently that has come out a week before we have our Top 3 Bottom 3 of the 2004 series coming out. Listen here: upnerd.captivate.fm

I ended up agreeing on this week's podcast

Thanks to the new game, Scattered Hope, and me naming the '04 show for Top 3, Bottom 3 - this has been a pleasant Battlestar Galactica filled month.

Suing an accuser for breaking an NDA: 1) is a tacit admission of guilt 2) a terrible PR move 3) makes complete sense if you're trying to deter your other victims from coming forward

Found this post on reddit and the last bit nails it: “Please don't remember her for the horrific end to her life. Remember her for who she was, a true blessing. To everyone around her.”

“This game was targeted for harassment because it involved this person, or that person” No. Any game release that achieves any broad level of attention now will attract reactionary commentators and their harassment, because generating hatred is how they make their money. It’ll never be enough.

The world is *shakes head* I've really started to focus on the small, day to day things. Little wins add up - housework that's been left sitting for a while, exercise that's just needed, chipping away at bills - these things are not insignificant. Celebrate the small wins - you deserve that :) xx

This looks rad. A must buy Punisher figure again.

I loved this article.

What the hell happened ? For awhile I loved RGG and gobbled up whatever they would release with glee. Now for the last year or so they just hire the worst humans for everything and I've had to swear off my formerly beloved Yakuza series and RGG itself. www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

This comic is both funny and sad.

The week we talked about our "Desert Island games" - games you'd take with you to tide yourself over if they were all you had. I tried to limit mine to 5 and some different genres... What are some of yours ? Listen here: upnerd.captivate.fm

the final insult of AI is going to be forcing us all to become linux guys. we're all going to be like oh yeah downloading stuff on linux is super easy you just juice the tarball and compile the pulp in the sudo command line. not like windows where you have to click on things

The fact that even a single American could hear this guy talk - even 10 years ago - and think "yeah, this the guy !" is a serious indictment of country and education as a whole.

Love this beat in Star Trek where Khan whacks a guy so hard he blows the crotch out of his pants

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

Gerry Conway has passed at 73. He leaves an incredible legacy. Co-creator of Punisher, Power Girl, Firestorm, Killer Croc, Jason Todd, Ms. Marvel. He also wrote a lot of tv including Law & Order. Best remembered for The Night Gwen Stacy Died? Probably? My condolences to his family and friends.

Just because Caitlyn Jenner is an objectively horrible person doesn’t mean it’s okay to deadname her. Please don’t.

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

"NINE INCH NOIZE" THE NEW ALBUM FROM NINE INCH NAILS OUT NOW nineinchnails.lnk.to/NineInchNoize

This is a rather incredible window into a reactionary mindset, because Daniel Vávra seems like he genuinely wanted to tell a story that included a gay romance subplot in spite of pushback, but refuses to extend that understanding to other writers and developers who also want to tell their stories...

This article is really embarrassing. It's entirely focused on technology-as-nostalgia and not the fact that every modern device wants you to constantly pay a rental fee in some form or another. If I'm listening to MP3s on a Diamond Rio there is exactly zero chance it will ask for a credit card.

1 month ago at Disney, our world flipped. Our 7yo Cooper was rushed to the ER (BG 920+) and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We’re navigating a new "normal" with help from Breakthrough T1D. We’re walking on 6/14 in Rochester. Support Cooper's Troopers here:

Star Trek: Resurgence getting delisted, leaving a legacy of only rare physical copies is so tragic to me. Media shouldn’t disappear like this. I enjoyed the game a lot and Star Trek needs to do better for game perseveration. kotaku.com/telltale-sta...

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.
