On this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, Charles and Alex are joined by Brenden Groom (@begroom.bsky.social) to chat about Kiln, Vampire Crawlers, Tides of Tomorrow, and Charles' trip to meet Lego Batman. You can watch/listen to the show here: gameinformer.com/video-podcas...

Interestingly, my intended meaning here was “there are more video games than I could ever have time to play” but also been read as “people in games don’t have free time” or “playing games for work makes you sick of games” or “working in games ≠ playing games all day.” All valid situations!

I’m going to be recording a Q&A episode of the All Things Nintendo podcast today! Get any questions or prompts you’d like me to talk about here, or you can email me [email protected]!

Over 200 active video game publications. Text. Audio. Video. Reporting. Criticism. Analysis. Blogs. Sites. Networks and wikis. Even in its incomplete form, the document is a treasure trove! I hope it helps you find your next favorite blogger, essayist, reporter, video maker, podcaster, and more!

I just think the whole notion of evaluating a critic based on how much you agree with them is absurd. It's not a critic's role to hit the bullseye of cultural consensus with their opinions; it's to contribute to our own appreciation of art by arguing based on their own taste, knowledge, and POV.

I met Lego Batman!!! I leaned down so he could whisper advice in my ear and he didn’t say anything, which is honestly soooo Batman of him. (If you know literally anything about me, you know this was a huge deal. Preview coverage coming soon.)

Just found out that chipotle peppers are actually just smoked ripened jalapeños??? I thought it was a whole separate plant. I feel betrayed somehow. I don’t know who to blame.

the story made the front page of today’s newspaper! its always very excited to see your work in print. i walked two miles to try to find a paper this morning and failed, so settling for digital for now

I backed this movie three weeks ago and I’m still very excited about it! Really hope it meets all its stretch goals

If your job doesn’t revolve around video games and you’re constantly thinking, “god, I wish I had more time to play video games,” I am devastated to report that my job does revolve around games and I still think that exact thought every day of my life

Just know that if you work at a library and do this... I love you

🚨🚨SGF FREELANCER ALERT🚨 🚨 I'll be at Summer Game Fest as a Freelancer! If you need someone to cover a game at the show, I'm quite available right now to help out. That also goes for guesting on content at the show. Hit me up @ email in bio. Hurry, while Carson supplies last

IGN is hiring! We're looking for a US-based news editor working West Coast hours. They will report into me (hello, I'm the director of news at IGN!), and get to do all sorts of cool stuff about video games and entertainment. Lots more at the link! www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs...

I reviewed Tides of Tomorrow! It’s got a really cool gimmick where you play through the story right behind another player and have to deal with the consequences of all their choices. It stays fun the whole game, imo! If you pick it up and want to follow ME, my world seed is 8493-9255

I’ll be doing a panel at the Super Cincy Expo this year! If you’re near Cincinnati, swing by the Sharonville Convention Center on May 16 to hear me (and the guys at Co-Op 64) talk about our jobs! I’m very excited! I love video games and also Cincinnati!!!

Despite doing this for sixteen years now I feel like I might throw up before every interview

If you didn't have a sexual awakening while playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, apparently you were doing it wrong. We get nostalgic on the new episode of The MinnMax Show. youtube.com/live/BsCyu-f...

Hahaha omg me and my friends were making such funny jokes today, you really had to be there

Listen, it's simple. Too many apostrophes: it's high fantasy. Too many Xs: it's sci-fi. Too many Ys: it's cosmic horror. Too many Zs: It's for kids in the 2000s.

Ahead of my NYU talk on the history/future of games journalism, I want to test a theory about how small/big games media is: Please share links to where you get games reporting/criticism. They can be a site, blog, YouTuber, streamer, social handle, podcast. They must be places/people you trust.

absolutely incredible example of AI making up problems to solve that aren’t real problems nobody needs “inspiration” on how they like their coffee??????? are you serious????? I’m asking ChatGPT to tell me what tastes good??? “computer, what do I want for breakfast?” this is dystopian actually

This is no hyperbole one of the best books about games. Their development. Their history. The marks they leave on us. Bonus: it's available in audiobook form.

So I was just laid off from Vicariously. If you‘ve got an opening in PR/marketing and want to hire someone who does good work and has a family to support, I’m your guy. Any reposts super appreciated.

Feeling this again today

i'm working on a larger story about the state of video codecs in games based on this interview, would love to get as much input as possible from devs about the problems it causes (bonus points if a video editor can share their perspective on this, too). diego6arguello6 at gmail and my DMs are open

HADES II is out now on Xbox Series X|S, GamePass, and PlayStation 5!🌖 Battle beyond the Underworld in the highest-rated game of 2025, now with all-new bonus content.

It’s been like a week but I’m still proud of this dumb bar (about a game I have not played)

I'm saving it for the next issue of the magazine, but I had an interview with @remysiu.com and @blacktabbygames.com about Prove You're Human that gave ME a real life existential crisis. Couldn't even have a conversation about this game without reevaluating my sense of self. Very excited for this one

Good morning! I highly recommend anyone who thinks they might possibly interested to apply for my job at IGN. It is a fantastic (UNION!!!!!) job working with the absolute best people. I have loved it with all my heart. You will too. www.ziffdavis.com/careers/jobs...

Ok let’s try something weird! This Saturday I’m recording a solo ARBOR DAY SPECIAL (with some 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 🌳 vibes!) and I want as many listeners as possible in it! Call in with your favorite moments, episodes, or questions for me! Past guests, I want to hear from you too! ☎️ REAL-WAX-VET (732-592-9838) ☎️

We spoke to indie devs like Stardew Valley’s Eric Barone, voice actors like Matt Mercer, one film director, developers from Capcom, Ubisoft, Sega, and plenty more all about why Zelda is an important touchstone for them as the series celebrates 40 years. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Not everything is a distraction! Trump is threatening genocide AND exacerbating the lopsided distribution of wealth. He's all over the Epstein files AND wants to erase trans people from America. Calling any of this a distraction minimizes its severity, and today, the Iranian people deserve better.

If you’re wondering how Ohio’s doing, they just opened up a Buc-ee’s by my house (the first one in the state) and it was such a big deal that the freaking governor showed up for the grand opening.

The only way to begin is by beginning. And season 8 is beginning soon... 🃏♠️♦️♣️♥️

I wholeheartedly agree with this, and also: why are ads all SO LOUD?? They're so much louder than whatever show or video I'm watching, and it's gotten to the point that I just mute my tv/computer whenever one pops up

all of the best food writers right now have launched a new FOOD SITE and you should follow and subscribe!!

My brother told me this was funny when I showed it to him a week ago and TODAY he said “that makes a lot more sense now that I know Donald Glover voices Yoshi” Can you imagine. How absolutely insane of a joke this would be if he had nothing to do with Yoshi. That would’ve been so much funnier

Hey, an interview from Ben got a shout-out on the new epsiode of Um, Actually from @dropout.tv! (Thanks to @gameonysus.bsky.social for catching it!)

At one point in this episode, Alex said he didn’t love Super Meat Boy 3D’s music. Somehow, we decided it would be funny if it had a British rap soundtrack instead, and then I was possessed by the spirit of The Bit™ and wrote this

My four-year-old son just made his GameSpot debut. You call it nepotism, I call it hard-hitting journalism. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

"Hollywood needs video games. Video games don't need Hollywood." @alanahpearce.bsky.social joins us on the new episode of The MinnMax Show to talk about her new production company @charredpictures.com and her developer-friendly approach to game adaptations. youtu.be/EayqMZeiQhQ
