My review of Predator: Badlands is up over at Monkeys Fighting Robots. It's the kind of movie lore nerds like me have been wanting for decades.

Our Soot Stained Heart is of the most impeccably crafted comics I've ever read. It was actually a difficult comic to review purely on the basis that it felt like it was operating on a different playing field than most comics I've read in recent years. monkeysfightingrobots.co/review-our-s...

I loved graduating from college to watch the industry I tried to get in to get ripped apart and turned into insultingly low-pay freelance gigs. All love and respect to the indie sites that are still putting in the good work partially just out of spite.

Wanted to take a moment to talk about how much I love this podcast. I've learned so much about the games medium from Jared and his guests and it's one of the things that pushed me to dip my toes in writing about video games. Beyond happy that this series is back and can't recommend it enough.

Review: OUT OF ALCATRAZ – No More Road #comicbooks #readmorecomics

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

First episode of Alien: Earth down. A lot of Blade Runner in here, which is a great thing. It's also, pardon my French, *fucking outstanding*

Took a break from the personal blog to rename and rethink. "Hypermedia" never really felt right. "Jackals in the Courtyard" sounds cool. Thought I'd come back with some thoughts after my replay of Red Dead Redemption 2, and on Westerns as a whole. jackalsinthecourtyard.home.blog/2025/08/05/r...

The Voice Said Kill #1 came out today. One of the best comics I've read this year. Here's my reviews from MonkeysFightingRobots if you need encouragement. monkeysfightingrobots.co/review-the-v...

Review: ESCAPE #1 – War is Anthropomorphic Hell #comicbooks #readmorecomics

Stoked that I was able to help unveil this over at MonkeysFightingRobots. @neonichiban.bsky.social is a huge deal, especially for people wanting to get into comics via a digital storefront.

Trachtenberg is doing the kind of storytelling in Predator that I've wanted to see since I was a kid, but with a sincere focus on human storytelling. Killer of Killers slams, and I cannot wait for Badlands.

PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS – The Hunt We’ve Been Searching For #comicbooks #readmorecomics

Review: BE NOT AFRAID #1 – Ill Omens #comicbooks #readmorecomics

I honestly found this season of Love, Death & Robots to be pretty lacking. But 400 Boys? This slammed. One of the best pieces the series has ever shown.

Back again to talk about the most kickass series in the history of...everything. Yeah that new Doom game is really good. hypermediapro.home.blog/2025/05/28/w...

Review: WARM FUSION #3 – Final Recall #comicbooks #readmorecomics

Review: THE VOICE SAID KILL #1 – Apocalypse Now Meets Deliverance #comicbooks #readmorecomics

i strongly agree. i also think if you want to be any good at talking about art, you need to consume as much art as humanly possible and talk about it all the time. each piece of art is in conversation with a thousand different other things.

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

Absolute travesty. I just recently *rejected* a position from Valnet because they're such a garbage company. Really feeling for the folks at Polygon. Really love that I graduated from college just in time to watch the industry I wanted to enter get pulverized.

Dipped back into some classics ahead of May the Fourth. Thanks for reading! hypermediapro.home.blog/2025/05/01/t...

This was way more fun than it had any right to be. Wild week to be someone who grew up on Alien and Predator.

Oblivion remaster is cool, but I kind of feel bad for Sandfall. Expedition 33 come out in two days and I'm not sure how many people are gonna tear themselves away from remastered nostalgia for a new title. All said with love, I'm stoked for both!

Review: VANISHING POINT#1 – “In Space, You Can Hear the Screams” #comicbooks #readmorecomics

Back again, got excited about @gameinformer.com coming back and had to write about it. Also, you should check out Avowed. Thanks for reading! hypermediapro.home.blog/2025/04/03/r...

Fantastic piece on one of the most unique games I've ever come across. I actually remember reading this article in the magazine. Great stuff.

I can now officially say that Absolute Martian Manhunter, thanks to your overwhelming response, has been extended to 12 issues. @javierrodriguez.bsky.social and Hass and I are all super excited. Every issue will be by the same creative team, no fill ins. :) It's going to be great.

Review: NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT #1 – I Am Become Monsters #comicbooks #readmorecomics

Man, a spark of hope in the direction state of media journalism. GI is dearly important to me, stoked to see these folks funded and back at it. I'm definitely a bit skeptical about their new owners, but anyone is better than Gamestop.

Please, PLEASE. Actual GI staff seem to be interactive g with this, I'm STOKED

Pretty sure this is a joke written *in* the actual game.

Review: THE MUMMY #1 – “Death Is But A Doorway” #comicbooks #readmorecomics

Great review of WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN FROM US #1 from @beardhunter.bsky.social for Monkeys Fighting Robots. monkeysfightingrobots.co/review-were-...

Back again. Talking about why certain recent big projects just aren't taking off like they used to. Thanks for reading! hypermediapro.home.blog/2025/02/28/w...

Review: GODZILLA HEIST #1 – The Kaiju Job #comicbooks #readmorecomics

Avowed is good as hell because it's so focused. The weird reception it's been getting is the ultimate indicator that normie gamers and the YouTube talking heads that fuel them have *zero* idea how to think/talk about games in a meaningful way.

Some more food for thought, gamers. Thanks for reading! hypermediapro.home.blog/2025/02/15/h...

I need all gaming/tech CEO'S to shut the fuck up and throw money. Stop having thoughts and ideas.

Moving more into opinion pieces, starting with my thoughts on Nintendo's future Thanks for reading! hypermediapro.home.blog/2025/02/02/w...

Review: BOWLING WITH CORPSES & Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown #comicbooks #readmorecomics

If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!! I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!

And here it is, my Top 5 Games of 2024 - and your sign to play that new Indiana Jones game. Thanks everyone for reading, I hope you're having a Happy New Year. hypermediapro.home.blog/2025/01/03/h...
