Dreamcast is the obvious and correct answer.

Well that was one of the best episodes of Dynamite ever.

I had a letter printed in a 95-96ish issue of Nintendo Power suggesting they make a fighting game with Final Fantasy characters.

I was a little underwhelmed with the Blokees Spider-Man model until I realized it's light enough that I could stick it to the bottom of a shelf with some poster tack.

Still waiting for Tobal 2

Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of the legendary Kunio-kun and Double Dragon series, passed away on April 2. Initially reported on Twitter, the news has since been confirmed by Famitsu magazine. He was 64. www.famitsu.com/article/2026...

This is your fault.

Watching the Artemis launch was just a reminder that the world could be doing the most incredibly cool shit together all the time.

If you didn't see Speed Racer in theaters you should go see Speed Racer in theaters.

Giant leggy boi hanging out in my back entryway. Usually I don't see these guys until the summer.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Sound on. Minnesota knows better than anyone. 🫡 #AEWDynamite

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

For you Grace, Resident Evil Requiem was the worst day of your life. For Leon Kennedy, it was Tuesday.

I'm bad at promoting my work. So, in addition to saying "buy my book!" (a chill game design textbook using Bitsy) I'll share some of my favorite writing from the book. www.amazon.com/Storytelling... link.springer.com/book/10.1007... (save 20% with code PALAUT and I earn a pittance of commission!)

STELLATHON is live. Thank you to everyone who jumped into action to make this happen. It means the entire world to me. Please enjoy the fun and hang out

How to win in November

"Can we watch it in a month? I already have too many games to play. I have Pokemon ZA, Pokemon Red, Pokopia, Fortnite. I don't need to think about more games" - my son, in response to me telling him about Indie World and simultaneously calling out every other gamer on the planet.

I've been informed that I am also supposed to get Pokopia so we can play together...

My kid earned himself a video game of choice for making Honor Roll last quarter. In an unusual act of patience, he actually decided to wait a month to cash in for Pokopia. I asked if he wanted digital or physical. His response, disgusted: "Digital. All digital. I don't want anything physical"

Mail call!

DENVER KNOWS WHAT'S UP. #AEWDynamite

Trying to figure out the insane string of dominoes that had to fall into place in this timeline to have Kenny G (beautifully) covering the music of a terrible 3DO game

TripleRaidio records tonight at 8PM EST, live on www.twitch.tv/xstrikestudios Look, I remembered to post more than an hour ahead of time!

Jet Set Rodeooooooooooooo! #AEWCollision

Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala

I'm never looking for a new live service game but maybe once a decade one hooks me. 10 years ago (woof) it was Overwatch. 2020s appears to be locked down by Helldivers. Otherwise it's single player games all day.

My favorite Burnout and it was absolutely mind-blowing playing this on a PS2. It was so fast and explosive, it felt like it was from the future. It's insane to me that Criterion was making these games and EA was like "stop that, go do Need for Speed"

✨My live concert from @magfest.org 2026 has just been released! ✨ It was edited and mixed by myself in full 4K HDR on YouTube. This show was an absolutely magical experience, and I'm excited to share it with you all! youtu.be/ReezKUZkLUo?...

more justified “FUCK ICE” chants #AEWGrandSlam

Transformers and Mask of the Phantasm both apply for me as well Also - Speed Racer (2008) - a bit of a bomb at the time, now people know what's up Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) - first non-dubbed Godzilla I saw in a theater

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

(mostly) non-English Banger youtu.be/Vc6llgfOuac?...

I KNEW IT

honestly respect for the ad that’s just like “pokemon are cool.” they are cool

A tertiary function of MAG Name That Tune is me forcefully exposing people to the most batshit game music. We used the ska track a few years ago and while no one in the room knew it, everyone HEARD it.

It’s not just that the “Fuck ICE” chants happened. It’s that everyone involved - the performers, the commentators, production - seemed to make a collective decision in the moment to let it breathe and be the story of the moment. That was cool as hell.

💣💣💣💣💣

I really like the wrestling show where one of the big good guys gets an unprompted FUCK ICE chant when he comes to the ring. I feel like there's another wrestling show where if a guy got that reaction, he wouldn't be on TV ever again.

Why bother with a racist show run by maga sex perverts when you can watch Japanese lesbians fighting giant pandas with a hammer?

I'm just going to go ahead and say there's a 100% chance this is in Name That Tune next year

Hell yeah, I fuck with AI I fuck with Abolishing Ice

I've had a promotional VHS for the test animation that became Batman: The Animated Series for a long time, I bought it on eBay in like...1999? The version they put as a bonus on the DVD said they lost the audio but uh, here it is. You're welcome Bruce Timm.

A weather-appropriate build for the day.
