We saw. we gamed. We talked for three hours about it.

Hello. This is probably the best episode of The Safe Room podcast. Give it a listen and tell your pals. Thank you

I only wanted to be a videogame critic. Never a developer. Never 'in the industry'. Play the games. Produce good, original writing that helps illuminate or ventilate the work. It's all in the games. It's all in the articles. Great game or terrible game, I love the work.

i wrote about silent hill f which is moving & intense, but ultimately set on dispelling “the fog” of its strong points…

I wrote this 2,000 word 'erm, err' navel gazegesis about not knowing how to verbalise my feelings on Silent Hill f and then Astrid wrote this, which expresses everything I wanted to but couldn't, in about half the time.

Look at this goddamn prince

The Funko Pop is something that we wish we could uninvent, like nuclear weapons and synthetic nerve agents.

Trying to steal GTA 6 from Rockstar like Dennis Nedry. Yellow raincoat, shaving cream can, that little red and grey Jeep.

We love the first cat so much we got a second cat

i don't have much to say other than that this article is really, really good and i suggest everyone give it a read in terms of how to view, what to keep in mind when engaging w/ interactive historical fiction, and our participation in a glorified past that exists w/in unique contexts.

"The ugliness of these battlefields still possesses a romantic element. Their battles, like their natural world, seem better than ours." I mean, I would say this, but I think Reid is the best critic in the world when it comes to writing about games in their historical contexts.

they should do a new manhunt instead

Deadcam is out today. I enjoyed it a lot. Great 60-minute horror short. Really funny. Really scary. store.steampowered.com/app/3865340/...

ICYMI: "The game appears to want to have it both ways – 'run and hide' in tandem with 'stand and fight.'" Emma Kostopolus analyzes Silent Hill f's approach to inverted power dynamics:

Only Lex Fridman would need this explained to him.

I appreciate that "if I submitted them" is the equivalent in this context of "I have a girlfriend but she goes to a different school." I also appreciate that boasting about one's knowledge of Resident Evil is entirely self defeating. I'm not an impressive person.

There is no topic or subject that I know more about than Resident Evil and I have completed speedruns of the first and second game that, if I had submitted them, would put me among the top ten fastest players in the world and I wouldn't use this controller if you gave it to me as a gift.

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow

RIP Adam Greenberg He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:

JK failed to consider what would happen to Voldemort if I hit him going 83mph in a RAV4

Harry Potter Q (seen the films, not read the books): Everyone in the magic world agrees Voldemort is so powerful you can't kill him with a conventional wand, or whatever. They also think non-magical people are inferior. But what would happen to Voldemort if you like mag dumped him with an MP5?
