if you’re in line to get raptured, STAY IN LINE

He's gonna make some kind of emotional apology followed by a toothless "we all need to stand together" that does not identify a particular issue or actionable takeaway. Everyone will feel good and move on, Disney shares will go back up, and they'll donate even more to Republicans than before.

Finally got what was probably the closest thing to a "grail" for our book library - a 1983 cartoon book parodying video games, by Tim Skelly, a prolific game artist of that era. The book is so rare that this advance copy is the only one I've ever seen for sale, I've never seen a regular edition!

cartoonists handing the same 5 dollar bill around the Small Press Expo but it's the entire economy somehow

The combination of IGN giving Silent Hill f a 7/10 and @tamoorh.com saying it's 10-12 hours is making this game absolutely irresistible, in case you are ever marketing a game specifically to me

Podcasting is now twenty years old. And that means shows that ran for years are now just a bunch of URLs that resolve to nothing. Sometimes, someone uploads a full set of mp3s to archive.org, and that’s great! But you can’t easily listen the same way as your other podcasts. What if you could? 🧵

Happy September 21st to those who celebrate

i just think if you’re hot, you shouldn’t have to learn how to parry

According to Prime Video's auto-generated subtitles, Leo the MGM lion's roar translates to "Love it."

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something: There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

Someone link me to the fan wiki page that lists the canonical best Dig Dug player in each state in 616 continuity

Real ones know that you canonically refer to this specific cartoon model sheet design as "Robuttnick"

Pleased to announced that exp. 2602, a new #zine in my exploration of the 1970s releases for the Atari 2600, is available for pre-order NOW at our new online store! Read more: expzine.com/2025/09/16/a...

Saved you a click: they beheaded a horse

Want to add that I did this at Costco last week, and when they asked what my preexisting condition was I just said "I'm immunocompromised" and that's all they needed to hear to make it happen.

This passed almost entirely without notice, but the 1978 arcade game Block Fever was preserved for the first time and added to MAME. This was Nintendo's second arcade video game, and as far as I can tell the only Nintendo game that had not previously been preserved www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaWr...

teaching kids how to bootleg DC movies like old dark knight returns batman teaching the gang members how to be good people

I have yet to see a recreation of the video as a Mario Paint looping animation with the red spray can and this is very disappointing to me

This is really draining all the excitement from this morning's Acclaim Direct

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

I don't know what the hell I did in Sunnyvale in 2016 and I don't think I want to

Hey Konami gimme a call next time you remaster a game that has an EGM cover in it, I'll get you a fresh new scan that isn't in PS2 texture resolution

I'm getting a gum graft at the dentist tomorrow, which is probably a thing that sucks, so I've taken to calling it a Gummi Graft to make it more appealing

I think the U.S. introduction of the NES is the biggest shift in video game console history. You got a lockout chip, the D-pad, and Super Mario Bros. literally on the same day. All three of these things defined video game consoles and their games in ways that we still see them to this day.

My hot take on the console generations discourse is that we are only in the third wave. My hotter take is that this is the last one.

rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides

Hey! At 2:30 Pacific come watch my PAX panel live on Twitch. I'm going to teach you about the launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System 40 years ago, and I promise you'll learn something new. Blue Dragon Theater if you're here, streaming you're not at twitch.tv/pax

Come see me at PAX! Or at home on Twitch, I've got two presentations that I put a ton of heart into that I think you'll enjoy.

Two years ago we built a pop-up museum around the Atari Jaguar at Portland Retro Gaming Expo, and we partnered with a local rescue to exhibit kittens as "tiny jaguars." It's now a regular part of the show. I've got nothing to do with it anymore but I'm proud to have started the tradition!

POV you are marrying Donkey Kong

Disney Adventures Donkey Kong is so pretty!

I know some of you have content creators in your circle who love Persona-like games. I think Demonschool has a shot at being a surprise hit, get them in on the ground floor!

The most exciting thing to come out of day one of Gamescom is this scan I got this morning of my entire skeleton

Nobody knows kids like Barney. Nobody knows videogames like Sega. You can only take one across the river at a time, and you can’t leave kids with videogames

Nobody knows: Kids like Barney. Nobody knows: Videogames like Sega. Nobody knows kids. Like Barney, nobody knows videogames. Like Sega, Nobody knows kids, like Barney. Nobody knows videogames, like Sega.

I played an early build of the new Bubsy like two months ago and I thought it was kind of good and I'm still mad about it

Capcom hire me to make your merch

Remember when they used to render PS2 games at like 8x the resolution and say these were "screenshots"

Genuinely thought this was an Obra Dinn-like game for a sec. Tell me that's not a great title screen

I don't remember why there was a film crew at my house in 2017 but this picture of Tony is hilarious

Going to rebrand this as a ChatGPT plug & play
