Remember: Teenagers exist in vacuums that only play songs from Razorblade Suitcase. The ones that escape clearly never existed

Monkey paw or whatever

Know what's weird? Turning on a Playstation 3

Hello! I'm looking for a colourist for a paid comic project, hoping for a retro cartoon look. The project will be under 30 comic pages long. I'm hoping to get all the pages finished by August, but currently have 12 pages ready to go and be coloured. Please DM me your rates if you're interested.

There are so many. The Ataris' Boys of Summer. The Chicks' Landslide. Glasvegas doing U2. Elbow doing Peter Gabriel. All of Richard Cheese

I used to have to do this with 3rd Strike for years and years and now people have just accept that it's the Forever Fighting Game

This is some very, very good music to talk about

The Carolinas rock because, no matter where you just came from, it's always 20 degrees warmer

While needle drops in video games are becoming more common, they're still very, very rare and almost never really work. As a person invested in this line of thinking, games aren't necessarily built for such a thing, even though we can probably still pick some good ones

I’ve compared a lot of NBA players to Evangelions but ultimately the real Evangelion of the NBA is Joel Embiid. Because regardless of how cool Eva Units look, they’re always shutting down at the worst possible time or needing to be plugged in & recharged. They are also powered by a child.

My timeline is all Starfox takes and bro-y turds complaing about Anita S. Can we please grow up and move past 2009 now

Ted Turner was briefly so destructive to film preservation that the GOVERNMENT created the National Film Registry to keep some films safe, then Turner was like “fine! You like preservation so much, here’s a channel that just shows movies unaltered for 24 hours!!!” and it was the best channel ever.

The first thing I think of when I think of Ted Turner now is the time he asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist. Sagan's response was perfect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDK2...

It's true! I'm hiring another senior writer for my team. Position is FT, remote. Come work with me and some truly brilliant, creative folks to create Cyberpunk 2 💥🦾 www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs/2205...

The best time to watch is the day after when all the trailers have been uploaded to YouTube, minus Geoff.

I'm looking for new subjects for PC Gamer's Weird Weekend column. Are you making a PC game that's odd as heck? Are you part of an unusual gaming community? Does your work intersect with games in a curious way? Is there a gaming-related mystery you'd like explored? Get in touch at [email protected]

We over here throwing (unblockable) punches

Games journalism is... A. Dead B. More vibrant than ever C. Complicated and requires an hour-long explanation with dozens of historical comparisons + insights from journalists and critics across the media landscape D. All of the above Here's my recent NYU lecture, remastered for audio!

So I started an Instagram account for my YouTube shorts a few months ago and my PC has finally recognized TODAY that accounts can be switched. Time to flood it with the nerd businesssssssss

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

"It's like trying to make three games within the budget for one. Realistically, it's not possible."

This last bullet point is way more important than people realize

Woke up and am still fucking livid at the Alex Jones shit. Yes, we all know the rich and powerful have their own rules, but usually it’s with a veneer of our shared reality. This is just pulling legal proceedings out of thin air. All so *Alex Jones* never has to face a consequence.

My god

I do think you should have your licence to gripe about clickbait-y headlines removed if you haven't spent an equal amount of energy reading/sharing/generally uplifting other pieces that weren't metaphorically waving and yelling at you.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

It is impossible to overstate how great this is. Save this post

Cool mail day

We can lament that we no longer live with 2022 SE, but we can bask in the joy of how cheap those games currently are

I tried very hard to land a full-time games writing gig for a decade before finally throwing in the towel during the pandemic. That was after a ton of really great freelance work that pretty much doesn't exist anymore. I can't imagine how it is now

This is the central question of my recent NYU talk. The answer is bleak, especially if your focus is purely text. But it’s not *all* bad I asked if I could run the audio on Post Games and @nyugamecenter.bsky.social kindly gave me the greenlight. It’ll be available Friday on Patreon, Monday for free

Oh wow. This used to be a daily stop for me during the Geoff Johns era. Haven't checked on it in years, but still sad to see it go

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t... It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article. Please share :)

Are you a writer? Need some help editing or structuring your work? Or just need to ask someone 'does this work??' Hire me! I'm a professional published author and script writer with nearly 15 years experience in the biz. DM me here eleanormortoncomedian.com/hire-me/

Ugh so sad. RIP to one of the all-timers

These retrospectives are really something. A good Monday morning read

Just watched a cooking show where a dude said he was a fighting game player and buddy, I'm sorry you got tossed from this competition in the first round but see me in Fightcade

Pat McAfee does piles of coke, I guess?

Oh no, Joe Haden is going to get beat up in a Primanti Bros parking lot for that

For any voice actors following me, @snuffysam.bsky.social is doing a casting call for his indie fighting game, Parable Academy. It's a paid gig so, if you're looking for a project to tackle, give him a holler. www.castingcall.club/projects/pai...

Not going to Midwest GC, but did get into Soulframe, so let's stream it a little later today 12:00pm EST twitch.tv/johnnypants7

Ok, who will the Cleveland Browns ruin this year

The fuck is this

heyyy, i am looking for a character designer who specializes in character fashion. if interested please email your portfolio/link to website to contact (at) veritablejoystudios (dot) com 💗😁

You belong here @kylebrandtsky.bsky.social

There's a new Belmont's Curse video up and I'm pretty sure the Evil Empire guy, when asked if the game was a roguelike, looked right at me specifically when he said 'no'

So this Street Fighter 6 "leak" is somehow totally wild and makes perfect sense

IGN is hiring! We're looking for a US-based news editor working West Coast hours. They will report into me (hello, I'm the director of news at IGN!), and get to do all sorts of cool stuff about video games and entertainment. Lots more at the link! www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs...
