I feel like between this, the Mario Wonder news, the Splatoon and DKCR updates, the Tomodachi Life Direct, and the Mario movie Direct, if Nintendo IS having a Direct next week then it's probably fair to expect a Partner Showcase. They're announcing a hell of a lot this week.

Nintendo have announced a Nintendo Direct focused on the hotly anticipated Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream.

Happy 11th birthday Grim Fandango Remastered! It was fun working on the new lighting system for it with @p1xelcoder.bsky.social . Here are some marketing imagery I did for the game and some roughs for key art we didn't use! @doublefine.com

This is where I'll remind everyone of @nogamesforgenocide.com and their general ask that, out of solidarity with BDS and Palestine, products under the Xbox and Microsoft gaming umbrellas not be covered by journalists or influencers nogamesforgenocide.com

There goes the one shot I had of going to a midnight launch this decade.

ok I haven't watched the Silent Hill 2 movie to preserve my sanity but can somebody please explain to me how the hell a song like this is in it? music.youtube.com/watch?v=F4vn...

guess what... i made a website www.mothership.blog

the speed at which i wrote this

Here's my Game of the Year 2025 list. Plans changed this year so I had time to write up the list and contextualize my picks. I'll post a thread later. backloggd.com/u/Daraaraa/l...

Octopath Traveler 0 Review Octopath Traveler 0 excels in visuals and combat but falters in story pacing, creating an engaging yet inconsistent JRPG experience overall.

Ain't no way 😭 I lived to see it

nine years

Don’t let them focus on the circumstances of the murder of a U.S. Citizen or when they saw his gun…Make them answer what causes an ICU nurse who cared for veterans with no criminal record to risk, then GIVE his life to protect complete strangers.

This is 1 of many reasons why I adore @sunsetvisitor.studio's 1000xResist. Their performing arts background is so tangible. Scenes are so thoughtfully blocked; time & space so carefully measured. And their Asian cinema inspirations, like Wong Kar-wai's rich colours, leads to stunning art direction.

The original argument for banning TikTok was data privacy concerns. Yet US social media and video apps collected the exact some data, but they were never threatened with a ban. A real solution would have been to ban / regulate them all. But it was always about who controlled / monetized TikTok.

Apparently I predicted Forza Horizon's Gundam crossover a few months back. www.youtube.com/shorts/RMMmb...

The new Tiktok TOS are not to be trusted. Share wildly.

Earlier this week, a report that claimed Grand Theft Auto 6 could get banned in Russia went viral. In researching the origins of the story, I found that the site that first posted it was named in a 2022 study on Russian disinformation networks. www.polygon.com/gta-6-russia...

Thinking about Beast of Reincarnation and how it's so frustrating that NieR: Automata has clearly proven to be one of the most influential games of the last generation, but Square Enix refuses to do anything new with NieR/Drakengard or even trust Taro to finish a new project.

what's highguard?

With a walking lighthouse simulator and a pottery warrior brawler, it's sad to see that Double Fine has just become another trend chaser

Get ready for the return of Bubsy in his latest adventure, slated to release this Spring with a physical release on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2.

Isekai for dudes in their 50s.

Best he's ever looked.

The state of Ubisoft.

My jaw is on the fucking floor.

It's far less discussed given *everything else* going on in this series atm but wow Deck Nine games just look much uglier than Don't Nod's. Sure they have more "graphical fidelity" but Don't Nod's art direction was a lot stronger, and the cinematography was top notch and clearly very memorable.

DEVIL MAY CRY 3 #cigart #dmc #dante

oh shit is it happening

Every game should copy Brutal Legend.

Bungie's Marathon Dropping In March, Collector’s Edition & PlayStation Controller Announced

I constantly think about Travis Strikes Again and am so disappointed that it's so underappreciated. One of the greatest works of creative introspection that this medium has to offer and one of Suda51's best works by a country mile. Maybe the best No More Heroes game?? Depends on the day.

*extremely loud and wet sounding fart noises*

Of course the one time I want to use PS3 streaming on my PS5 it's been broken for a week.

Love how they tried to package something they clearly know people will hate as a "response to feedback" Sucks to see that RGG and Sega have become so successful with the series that they've left their goodwill era.

their asses are NOT listening omg😭😭😭

dang can't believe it's been a year

As Harry announces here I'm stepping back from being on GSC News Pod for a bit to focus on site-side content and a certain show we soft launched a few months back. I'll still be a listener though, just like you should be too if you aren't already!!

the dream team rides again - excited to have an excerpt from my book on @mattleone.bsky.social's wonderful new site, @designroom.bsky.social. Loved writing this chapter on The Beatles, and especially learning more about the GOAT Yoko Ono.

SnK's fall off genuinely needs to be studied.
