Between Cloudflare this morning and Github this afternoon, nobody wants me to get any work done today. Mainly sucks because my brain was in super-productive-at-work mode today, which doesn't happen every day.

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

The story of how Rebecca Heineman overcame corporate incompetence to develop the Doom 3DO port in two and a half months is incredible (via @bghof.com) www.badgamehalloffame.com/doom-3do/

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

I see your Evangelion hockey intro and raise you a Trogdor Marching Band Halftime Show.

Gabecube is here 😄

On Episode 957 of my video game podcast, I'll pretty much just be talking about the three new pieces of Valve hardware coming in 2026 and why I'm all in. Oh, and how Digital Eclipse did give the 2600 Pac-Man its props with the documentary portion of their latest Atari 50 DLC. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Only two episodes left of OLR! Sad it's the end of an era, but happy that you all have joined us for the ride. Join us for the final two episodes, tonight and next Sunday at 9PM Eastern, 6PM Pacific. www.twitch.tv/vognetwork

Going through the @digitaleclipse.bsky.social Atari 50 Namco DLC and I am pleased to report that they do in fact do an entire video segment talking about the technical wizardry behind 2600 Pac Man and why its a miracle it can play on the system at all. #WhyNotFrye

Dammit Gaben, I'm in. I really hope the Steam Frame brings back PCVR and claws some of the exclusives away from Quest.

Some solid reporting by @alyssamerc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

As announced towards the end of our show last night (Episode 1064), Orange Lounge Radio will end its 23+ year run with our final regular broadcast on 23, November. Thank you all so much for your support and interaction over the years, let’s enjoy this “one more extra stage” final run of episodes.

On Episode 956 of my video game podcast, I'll talk about GTA6 being delayed (and what I believe to be the real reason for it) as well as a future possibility of having PC Cross-Buy of PlayStation titles, something that could sway some people to leave the Xbox ecosystem. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

On Episode 955 of my video game podcast, I'll be talking about why Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is great for what I was looking for but a dud for many others, and how Nintendo both won and lost in legal issues this week. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Our final month of episodes begins tonight at 9 Eastern, 6 Pacific. Please note our live time may have changed for you due to the end of daylight savings in the US. Hope to see you live to catch up on two weeks of video game news after @bobbyblackwolf.com www.twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Gators.... Gators.... #HYLTBMA #GoDawgs

So happy for all of my friends who are participating in this event this weekend. I am so happy that they are in my life and I hope this weekend is as amazing as it should be. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

This is obviously a satire post, but unfortunately Animal Crossing is the one thing I associate most with the pandemic, so much so that when I watched today's trailer I actually had an emotional reaction to the theme song. It took me back to the dark place my mind was in at the time - not good.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

The Braves fan in me has come to accept that Freddie Freeman will have a Dodger hat on in the Hall of Fame. He's too much of a postseason legend there not to.

On Episode 954 of my video game podcast, I'll reminisce about the time I camped out alone at a CompUSA for a PS2 that didn't work 25 years ago, and talk about why (so far) I'm not loving Once Upon A Katamari as much as reviewers. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Only the best screen for my sweet Prince of All Cosmos

This is insanely bad for anyone doing game development. Who the hell knows what Gaming Copilot is doing with your screen captures, but it almost certainly isn't compliant with your NDA.

The SFGE Hotel Block opens Thursday, October 23rd at 2:00 PM! Rooms go fast every year, so don’t miss your chance to grab one early. The password-protected hotel page will unlock automatically at 2:00 PM Thursday: gameatl.com/hotel/

here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update

I feel for many of my friends on my skyline right now. Many times, sports are a mistake. The sun will still rise tomorrow, I promise. And it does get easier over time.

Of course NOW they add an Atlanta date after I was able to get tickets in New York...

On Episode 953 of my video game podcast, I want to tell you about this unique experience called Blippo+ that's not a game but is on a game console, and then I'll talk about how Atari just announced an Intellivision console that will ACTUALLY SHIP. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

Kpop beat out Tay Tay at the Atlanta United match's sing along poll lol

Last match as an Atlanta United season ticket holder for this year (yeah I renewed for next year) to see goalie legend Brad Guzan make his last saves before he joins the Des Moines Menace for next year's US Open Cup

Ouch. www.theverge.com/games/799698...

I look forward to following Brad's US Open Cup run with the Des Moines Menace next year. #ATLUTD

Apple TV+, Apple's subscription streaming service, has rebranded to Apple TV, which is the same name as the software that runs the Apple TV, which is also the name of the device Apple sells to deliver it.

I've never actually been to New York, only through it. That changes next summer. And then I come home and go straight to @gameatl.com the very next weekend...I may wind up regretting some life choices but YOLO

Running a little bit behind, but on Episode 952 of my video game podcast, I'll talk about relearning Final Fantasy Tactics, about Microsoft committing to Xbox consoles, and Nintendo suing subreddit moderators. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts. ocremix.org/remix/OCR04918 youtube.com/watch?v=fUsg...

The ESPN 4K feed is the straight feed from the stadium, no commercials - we get the video and audio from the hard camera. I just watched Auburn's band totally kill it with a video game themed halftime show with the lights out and LED lights on everyone. EA CFB, Mario, and Skyrim. Kudos. But Go Dawgs

My favorite mashup artist, DJ Cummerbund, announced last night that he's going to just prompt AI to make mashups next year instead of making them himself. Basically says that the data shows the general public prefer the AI content to what he did by hand, so he's going where the audience is.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

He's right

(Reposting a 2023 thread from Twitter I think still has value) During the #DiabloIV beta weekend, I noticed a bunch of people asking questions about this moment in the Prologue. I wanted to take a moment and explain how a beat like this gets created and the reasoning behind it. Spoilers within! 1/

End of an era

Day one purchase. I know it's not a Gold Master Series release but it REALLY feels like one...

🚨BREAKING NEWS!!!! 🚨 Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have decided to dust off their instruments and bring back the #Rush tour machine with new drummer Anika Nilles for a 7 city, 12 date tour in 2026! www.rushisaband.com/blog/2025/10...

WHAT OMG variety.com/2025/music/n...

On Episode 951 of my video game podcast, I'll talk about how EA will go into more debt than it makes in a year in 2027, why all your Unity based games are patching this week, and about the Game Pass price increases which caused so many to cancel their subs. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

so this happened a long time ago in Animation and basically here's what happened: * 95% of the US animation industry was obliterated and all that was left was management positions or people doing 5 jobs at once * basically the entire skill/knowledge base went away within a single generation

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.
