I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?

Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story is a new documentary exploring the games, the creators, and the engine behind Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Sam & Max, Loom, and more. The journey begins early 2026. Join the waitlist at scummdoc.com

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right

This 4k scan of THE BIG BLUE looks absolutely exquisite

1981 Also a year in which great punk rock, post-punk, hardcore punk, goth punk, and ska music was released. It's almost impossible to pick a favorite, but Minor Threat EP...😍 #punk #punks #punkrock #hardcorepunk #postpunk #sks #gothpunkrock #history #punkrockhistory

it's true. 🔊 sound on

"Children of the Grave" at California Jam 1974 🪦

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Fun fact, this widely-appropriated image isn't actually from Curse of Monkey Island. Mixnmojo commissioned it from Paco Vink for our Secret History series in 2009. We enjoy spotting it in the wild

This was a rough way to learn that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has apparently purchased a house in my neighborhood.

A little bit of good news today: Just as we thought, the ORIGINAL 1977 version of STAR WARS is returning to theaters in 2027! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Still bringing the goods after all these years mixnmojo.com/features/sit...

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was released #OnThisDay in 1973, with album artwork by the legendary illustrator, Drew Struzan. Drew, who sadly passed away in October, came up with all of the design concepts and even photographed himself for the reference photos ✟ Photos & sketches by Drew Struzan

i semi-regularly think about this concept and way of describing it and crack up. absurd

I've remembered this quote basically verbatim for at least twenty years: If I'd wanted all that computer game bullshit, I'd have stuck my dick in a Nintendo - Quentin Tarantino

Found out about the forthcoming adaptation of THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW today and can't stop thinking about it. If they get it right I will absolutely adore it. But to me it's a story that touches on almost Lovecraftian elements, merely hints at them, and maybe that's not how others see it at all

Talking with friends this morning I was forced to consider the idea of rejoining the dating pool at some point, but as a 40 year old

Upon it's original release Tarantino stated that "The day Kill Bill plays the Prince Charles is the day Kill Bill truly comes home." Accept no imitations, this is the place to see KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR - on sale in just 5 hours. 🎟️: buff.ly/yFZzF5D

So that's why Kyrandia 2: Hand of Fate had such a weird box design! I wonder how late into release they changed it, and how many made it into production? You almost never see this box on ebay genesistemple.com/interview-wi...

It's also the sort of implication that writing is a boring rote task that we wish we didn't have to spend time on. Writing is the joy! It's the fucking expression! Aaaaargh

if you're ever Photoshopping your own face into the smoke of the Twin Towers, Adobe should have a pop-up that says "are you sure that whatever it is you're doing is a good idea"

It's the anniversary of the kinect, is it? Then it's also the anniversary of me leaving the games industry. Working on a kinect game was like being in an episode of the twilight zone

Just as I expected. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream on PS5. Obviously

I was sort of quietly staggered by GK3. I'm a 90s adventure nerd and knew the famous Old Man Murray takedown of GK3 and expected it to be a total pile of crap. Instead it's kind of an insane masterpiece that deserves to be recognised for what it tried to do rather than what it got wrong

Jesus wept

There is nothing anyone can say that will be funnier or more farcical than this image alone

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is an all time high whopping 50% off on Steam!!! store.steampowered.com/app/1182310/...

what they should've done is made one more chilled out movie called I Forgot What You Did Last Summer, setting us up for the following sequel, Oh, Now I Remember What You Did Last Summer

It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother. My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz. Tony

Ozzy Osbourne news breaks my heart. Black Sabbath are my Beatles. I know Ozzy was on borrowed time but this still fucking sucks

AI “thinks” in the same way a mirror looks at you

One of the absolute pillars of the adventure game community, Roberta Vaughan, is facing a very serious medical crisis. I won't get into what it is but trust me, it's bad. If you have the means, please consider donating to this medical fund organized by ex-Sierra designer Josh Mandel.

Oh la la

Yesssssss

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is now PHYSICAL! 💀⛏️ www.lostincult.co.uk/shop/p/h-s-j...

"Killing Yourself To Live" performed live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1975. 🤘

Just had an absolutely amazing, but far too short, visit to the University of York's archive, specifically their new Ray Galton and Alan Simpson collection. Galton and Simpson wrote Hancock's Half Hour, Steptoe & Son, and so much more.

Disproportionately excited for such a nice edition of Hob's Barrow!

The end stages of Return to Monkey Island. An impossible mixture of emotions that will never be replicated

I finally got the Vinegar Syndrome release of THE KEEP because I've wanted to see it for twenty years. Wow, it's so close to brilliance, you can really imagine how good it would be if Mann had final cut and they'd finished the special effects. Still has some stunning imagery and is loads of fun
