If a game came out in December 2025, I think I should be able to count it as my GOTY for 2026 right? Looking at you, Death Howl.

I started Death Howl today and it is 100% my shit. The souls elements actually work really well for me - the combat really is trial and error and learning patterns. There's a rush to just getting through a fight or trying it over again (and again, and again...) because you can overcome it.

VIDEO GAME TRIVIA RETURNS TO PAX EAST 2026! As someone who started going solo with @traviscolenutt.bsky.social around 2015, being on the PAX website will *always* be so cool. Details to follow - but block off your Saturday night at East! 📸: @jeanluc.bsky.social east.paxsite.com/en-us/guests...

My first episode of the Left Behind Game Club in *six* months and it’s one of my faves in a while. Best part - if you’re fine with spoilers - you can jump right in.

We continue (again). @jacob.bsky.social has played through the entire game, and so @traviscolenutt.bsky.social covers all new ground with him in the third and final part of our Expedition 33 series. Available now on all major podcasting platforms! LISTEN: plnk.to/leftbehind

Wow. Catherine O'Hara. That really hurts.

One of my most anticipated games of the year!!

RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT Wander a castle built of bitter memories in LOVE ETERNAL, a psychological horror platformer with devious trials & an unsettling, experimental narrative. Find a way out on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation & Xbox, February 19th 2026. store.steampowered.com/app/3010610/...

I legit wheezing laughed for 5 minutes straight at the Hentai Sepsis reveal.

I think about you everyday #ClairObscur #Expedition33

Christmas/new job gift to myself!

Listening to this today for....reasons.

Control (2019)

Alright four games that defined my 2025. Definitely pushed myself to get bigger/longer games done this year. I feel like I previously could have maybe gotten one 30+ hour game done in a year before. I'm glad to have been able to get more time in this year!

The Steam Winter Sale has not helped my backlog or wallet. I picked up: - Blasphemous - Mind Scanners - Crow Country - Quantum Break - Slay The Spire - Mouthwashing

Our part 2 spoiler filled episode on Clair Obscur is out now!

ALSO HOLY SHIT CONTROL RESONANT

Hurray Clair Obscur!

I've got the receipts.

Yep this 100% makes sense.

I sit in the hosting chair for the first time (bye Jacob!) to guide the discussion on what is now probably one of my favorite games of all time. Can't wait for ya'll to listen!

Last Christmas by Wham! is a great Christmas song. I will not accept any Last Christmas slander.

Within the last couple of days, Netflix has launched party games that you can play with a phone controller including LEGO Party. Played it; while not the ideal way to play, I was shocked by the cloud performance - would be a great way to play less twitchy experiences.

Oh shit Death Howl is coming to Steam on December 9th! I've been eagerly awaiting this one! youtu.be/fQUYKrdvLdA?...

“Learn from those who came before…”

New episode out now! @lesperak.bsky.social (from @leftbehindgameclub.bsky.social) makes her 9th appearance on the show to talk about Sword of the Sea. This is the third time Katie and I have talked about a Giant Squid game on the show Check out our thoughts below open.spotify.com/episode/00Ns...

Thank you for coming on! I had a great time sharing our love this amazing game

What shoukd have been a quick 45 minutes turned into 2 hours of us diving into one of my favourite games of all time. So much appreciation for @storyeverpod.bsky.social for having me!

Hell Is Ben Hanson's hair... Watch him play the first two hours of Hell Is Us via GeForce NOW. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7vD...

Finally watching Muholland Drive for the first time now after finishing Twin Peaks and its really funny/strange seeing Naomi Watts play opposite a confused brunette with a bunch of cash twice in a row.

I loved the demo for Love Eternal at Pax East this year and I've been waiting for a public demo to be available to play it again and for me to tell everyone else to play it!

Had an amazing time chatting about some really great short indies games on @crossplayconvos.bsky.social this week!

We have got a rad episode coming out on Tuesday! Guests @katerblossom.bsky.social and @traviscolenutt.bsky.social come on to break down 5 (!?!?) new short indie games: 🥣 And Roger ⚔️ Dark Queen of Mortholme 🌞 Many Nights a Whisper 🍺 No I'm Not a Human 🤕 Henry Halfhead

And if I have one teeny tiny nitpick: I want him to look older.

As an X-Men fan, I usually don't find Wolverine that interesting as a solo character, but i understand the appeal. I just prefer him in the team dynamic. That being said, I'm gonna play the shit this game #stateofplay

I want Clair Obscur to be my game of the year so bad that I pretty much have to not play Silksong or Hades 2 to not give it competition.

Im finally getting time to watch it this evening and I just stopped because I have to shout out how much fucking style Six One Indie has. The design work put into these showcases is always sick. It may have been small little detail, but I fucking loved the "are you sure?" switch to "sure you are."

47 indies. 72 minutes. The Six One Indie Showcase returns September 18th via IGN, GameSpot, and Six One Indie's channels! • World premiere from ORIGAME DIGITAL • Lil Gator Game: In the Dark gameplay • Super Rare Originals, Blumhouse Games, and so much more! Save The Date: youtu.be/QncfsZr_fxQ?...

In the middle of watching @themix.bsky.social 's fall showcase and I had to pause to say Rebounder looks fucking sick. Instant wishlist. store.steampowered.com/app/3794520/...

You knew what you were doing gamescom commercial.

It's a listen to Alicia from the Clair Obscur OST on repeat to feel something kind of morning.

Im sorry but why did this gamescom commercial during ONL trick me into thinking it was a trailer for Control 2?

We continue.

Congratulations to a great group of people on the huge achievement of 200 episodes 🫶🏻🥳

Hurray on 200! 🎉 Doing this thing has been so much fun, has been a great place to put all of my analytical energy, broadened my gaming horizons and introduced me to a lot of awesome people! Recording this episode was a lot of fun for us so give it a listen!

Wednesday.
