I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

Saw Back To The Future in IMAX last night. We really need to talk more about how great Crispin Glover was in that movie. Just did an amazing job of portraying George McFly at different stages in his life.

There's a little over a month away until this game launches. Yep.

Wait, people are shocked that playing against AI opponents in arcade games is brutally hard?

Don't get me started on color grading! . . . . . . *someone get me started...

New dream project: A fighting game where characters fight like real life people. Totally uncoordinated and clumsy. Who wants to fund this?

How did I not know about @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social showing Enter The Dragon in 35mm?! musicboxtheatre.com/films-and-ev...

My birthday is coming up, just saying quarterarcades.us/products/lun...

!!!

For months, I’ve been trying to put my finger on who Kash Patel reminds me of and I think I finally found it

You have my attention…

Remaster all of these!!!

First we lose the George Lucas museum to LA, now this?!

Saw Rouge on @criterionchannl.bsky.social. What a beautiful melodrama. I adore that era of Hong Kong films. Try to catch it

I’ll be signing Bat/Stat #1 at Dragon’s Lair Austin in two weeks!

Oh please…

This is the start of a Holy War

Skate Story is as good as it looks, bursting with immaculate vibes that sell the freedom of boarding, all in a vaporwavey take on the underworld. @devolverdigital.com @bysameng.com @skatestory.com

midway arcade game designers in 1993:

When Apple makes ads for the iPhone showing off it's filmmaking technology, I think to myself "This is totally tech I geek out on." But they spend all that money to excite the .00001% of the population?

On this day in 1984: Wearing a No. 23 Chicago Bulls jersey for the first time — in front of 13,913 fans at Chicago Stadium — Michael Jordan scored 16 points in his NBA debut, a 109-93 victory against the Washington Bullets. Also there — the San Diego Chicken.

Wait,wtf. At this point shouldn't they be in the AI grift? Metaverse was the 2022 grift. I wish they'd keep up

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

This whole genre is so freaking huge

Someone just sent me this from an episode of Hitman World Of Assassination and I'm wondering if someone I know worked on this game

Column: Celebrity documentaries pumped out by streaming platforms over the past several years have a way of turning these projects into exercises in image management, stripped of anything too complicated or unexpected. Yes, even the one about a legendary director Gift link 🔗

The theatrical/television VFX industry has faced some serious challenges over the last decade and it might get a lot worse. A friend who has worked on some of the biggest shows and movies told me that when he started, the split between miniature work and CG was 90% and 10%. 1/3

If you were a Chicago kid in the 90s during the Bulls’ epic run, it’s likely you teared up a bit at the NBA on NBC intro tonight.

Forgot to mention, say the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer and it has to be one of the badly edited trailers I've ever seen. There's a difference between a proper movie trailer and a TV ad. This was a TV ad.

Take it from us -- an organization that closely studies all the horrific ways people can die from common household items -- have the jelly donut.

🚨🚨🚨 We are live! Welcome to Design Room, a new independent games media site. • We specialize in oral histories like the Final Fantasy 7 and Street Fighter 2 ones I (@mattleone.bsky.social) did at Polygon • Our first big story is on Shadow of the Colossus: bit.ly/4hjwz8n • See more: designroom.site

Anytime I do a talk or sit on a panel, I wonder afterwards "What did I say that will get me in trouble later?"

The biggest problem with selling stuff on Ebay is that it forces me to look at comps on Ebay...which makes me want to buy stuff

Being somewhat new in academia, I kinda forgot how much students can talk endlessly. I'm pretty sure I was never like that and was super mature right off the bat...

The University of Chicago's Year of Games Kick-Off Symposium is staging a performance of "The Entertainment" from Kentucky Route Zero as a live theatrical play on October 17. Tickets are free! Wish I could be there. voices.uchicago.edu/yearofgam...

This was a great remake of Terminator 2

DEMO out now on Steam for PC and Mac

I am beyond excited to be able to go out dinner by myself. Can't remember the last time I did this.

A year ago: for some reason everyone is watching Criterion posting on Bluesky, "Hey, Sorcerer is a pretty badass film!" A year later, on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3759140/... (I'm here for it!)

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning star of "Annie Hall," the "Godfather" films and "The First Wives Club," among many others, has died. Watch her light up the screen in a few of her most iconic performances. Read more about her life and legacy: bit.ly/471G72Z

Chicago lost one of its best today. RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. I met Tony through Steve Earle, whose LP covers frequently became canvasses for Fitzpatrick's artwork. Jon Langford & Tony collaborated on a tribute to another one-of-a-kind Chicagoan, Lin Brehmer, at the Hideout in 2023 (pic below). (1/2)

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

Amazing how rearranging the office has helped with my creative block

Been waiting sooooo long for this one
