nothing in the new god of wars is as cool as the last spartan fight in II

Love to imagine a fearless marketing team promoting an IGN 7/10 like David Lynch selling Lost Highway with "Two Thumbs Down!"

Today the cult leaders will claim to have figured out the cause of autism, and it'll be acetaminophen (Tylenol). Here's an enormous study on this very correlation with stringent methodology and a sample size of 2.4 million children. TL;DR - There's no link jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Let's weigh in on the discourse surrounding this year's most highly acclaimed release... youtu.be/_jEXbn6-tWg

labour simultaneously doing vote for us to stop reform and we believe everything that reform does so please stop calling us communists is an electoral strategy so genius we might be seeing the first party in history to get negative votes

Hi everyone! Today we are reviewing a cRPG about cosmic horrors beyond human comprehension from @highnorthstudios.bsky.social A great game with a great story that proudly stands on the shoulders of classics like Ultima 4 and 5, but makes the game much more accessible than your average cRPG

Worst Lemmings walkthrough ever

I know it's hard to do but you have to tune out the constant & I mean constant torrent of criticisms on social media re: activism & organizing. If you don't, it can stop you from trying to do any activism or organizing. Most of the critics aren't doing any organizing themselves so keep trying things

friends, have you heard the good news?

I really really really like making things. Making things is what life is all about. Da Good Stuff™

ARCHIVE UP of this year's Bike MS fundraising stream, featuring @vinnycaravella.bsky.social, a fake plane crash, and... actually DOING things in Star Citizen??! Donations still open at blinkingguy.com! www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3AV...

Genuinely think there's very little video game soundtrack work better than the Build Mode of the original Sims.

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? 🧵

I love all the positive talk about supporting indie journalists. But you know what's cooler than talk? Action! This weekend, I'll make it easy for anybody who wants to support weekly original video games reporting. Until Sunday at midnight, you can get a month of Post Games for $1

NEW VIDEO! The world of Mafia: The Old Country is beautiful, but it does not breathe. It is a postcard. It isn't to be conquered—it's barely to be touched. Some see it as a flaw when compared to more open crime games. I think it is *the* thing that makes Mafia feel so... honest. Let's talk about it!

Why am I doing this. Why. Why why why

🧟!!NEW PODCAST EPISODE!!🧟‍♀️ This time we're joined by the lovely @ryanhollinger.bsky.social to talk about what is arguably the most legendary zombie film of all time. And guess what? This episode is FREE FOR EVERYONE to listen to! Patrons and non-patrons alike! www.patreon.com/posts/romero...

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

This was a real nice comment to get. I spend a LOT of time trying to make my scripts as succinct as possible. Kinda the opposite of what The Algorithm wants I guess (several hours of plot description) so it's nice to see the effort resonate with people.

The solid year we had of people issuing press releases as to why they, personally, had a hall pass for Hogwarts Legacy was deafening. Wasn't enough to simply ignore pleas from the trans community not to *directly fund their further marginalisation*, they wanted a Still A Good Person certificate too.

I love when comments are like "hmm... I see where you're coming from sir... but after much consideration you are INCORRECT and way off point. heere is why:" and then they type up an essay that is just the exact thesis of the video

I've heard media is covering the event by being vague one the numbers and the police involvements-- it was like 10:1 antifascists vs fash, and the only police involvements were when the raged out dregs of the fash side threw punches at the cops who were trying to get them to leave.

Clicked on a video from a channel YT keeps recommending me about how Nintendo is bad or something. Under "SCAMS" it includes that wheelchair basketball game, and they seem completely against at the notion that they have to play "crippled basketball" (their words). 100k views in a day. Very cool

Bump for the new video! Cheers to all that have checked it out so far. People seem to be getting a kick out of it, which is nice to see. Quite proud of this one.

When phones were as thin as they could possibly be while retaining a headphone jack, they were thin enough. "We removed functionality but don't worry, we did it to make the phone flimsier"

this exists it is called thinking

Keep going. Once you hit 30 your tolerance level for petty horseshit pretty much evaporates, and your will/ability to remove yourself from it skyrockets. All this to say, it legitimately gets better.

Deaf Club just released their new album and it is SO GOOD. It's honestly like getting a new Retox or Some Girls album. Seriously, if you're into fuckin angry, noisy (but still super groovy) punk at all, you've gotta listen to this. Feels like the rager of an album we all need right now.

It really is wild that they made a skate game where the least fun part is the skating

Thanks for the support on this one so far. Really appreciated. Got a lot of stuff coming in the next week or so but gonna give myself the night off because I am TIRED

Hamish makes the absolute best videos on Mafia, and while I'm going to wait to play the game before watching this one, you have my certified seal of approval that is very likely Extremely Good

New Writing on Games is always an event. Get it watched.

Yes! Yes!!!!!! "The idea that Old Country is a failure because it doesn't allow you the freedom to explore seems odd to me, because Enzo explicitly isn't free."

That new shit from Team Reptile tho?? "HYPERFUNK is 2 seconds per second of evolved funkstyle" is such a raw opening sentence www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDzg...

Fully back in Movie Mode. Standout here was revisiting 13 Assassins, which spends an hour slowly building character before exploding into the most insane action set piece you've ever seen Also remedied a Kurosawa blind spot in Kagemusha and I don't think my eyes will look at things the same anymore

Related: Have you heard about the new show Post Games? It's like NPR for video games. Thoughtful, surprising interviews with guests like Dunkey, the CEO of Atari, and NSFW game makers. And it's free on all podcast platforms. I know, it seems too good to be true! But it's real!

My thoughts on all current events:

Something I will never say under any other circumstance - we gotta get on the French's level

THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF FUTURE PAST THE MAGICIAN LONGS TO SEE ONE CHANCE OUT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

Thoughts on the new skate: 1. Wild that they made a skate game where *this* feels substantially better than the actual skating 2. Can't believe they got the real Flansito in this one

Hey mum, the show I played got mentioned in Kerrang! I've made it (in the least significant way possible) Also something hilariously sinister about someone watching us watch Agriculture's set and vice versa lol

I love seeing "I own nothing" in YouTube descriptions on videos the uploader clearly doesn't have the rights to. Whenever I see it, I imagine a completely destitute monk, no material possessions, who somehow got ahold of a computer and was like "I gotta show the world the Glee cover of Poker Face"

Politics posting on this website opens you up to some deeply dark Discover Tab spiritual energy. Not recommended in the slightest

People want everything to be a binary between dooming and “we’re so back” but I’ll just say this is both a really troubling attack on press freedom and an open admission that your regime is fragile enough to feel threatened by Jimmy fucking Kimmel

(gritting teeth) critical support to jimmy kimmel

NEW VIDEO! The Matrix Online is one of the strangest dead MMOs I've explored. This "travel diary" includes unexpected finds, bizarre level design and even a dance party to wrap it all up, giving back a lil bit of life to this abandoned world... youtu.be/Dnihn_xy3Tk
