Everyone give this a good scroll. Isaiah worked really hard on rebuilding the site to modernize it: making it easier to edit and maintain over time. 🌟

You can buy a Game Informer in a store soon! We are very excited about this! Wahoo! People have asked about newsstand issues for years, and our response was always, "that would be great, but it's more complicated than you'd think." I'm very glad we were finally able to find a way to make it work.

This is the most candid I've ever publicly gotten about my life, my career, and my mental health! Come for the story about how I got into video game librarianship, stay for the alarming revelation about the town where I grew up (which continues to influence my approach to history)!

When it comes to a wedding guestlist people always ask if you have a big family but they never ask how podcasts you’ve done. Thrilled to have worked with so many talented people and even more thrilled to get to call so many of them friends.

If you're looking for a fun tabletop game to play with family/friends over the holidays, might I recommend Hot Streak? It's from the co-designer of UFO 50 and Time Barons (also one of my favorite tabletop games). It's a mascot racing game, but with more table talk/light strategy than Camel Up. 👍👍👍

Because of games like Final Fantasy, part of the Trivia Tower rules say numbers and Roman Numerals are interchangable. So when the answer we were looking for was 1000xResist, this person answered it as MxResist to save time. It counts! I had a blast on the new episode -

It's fascinating to see PlayStation erase anything that isn't a hit. Still thinking about Midnight Murder Club from the creators of Knockout City. It's a fun party/horror game PUBLISHED by PlayStation and they haven't mentioned it once this Halloween season.
