Tux and Fanny - Episode 169 "Course Correct" youtu.be/sekxadK8m8Y

i was really moved by the sense of discovery in Tux and Fanny (and basically no one has played it) store.steampowered.com/app/2094730/...

My game dev friends, I absolutely encourage you to watch Obex. Check out the full @filmhounds.co.uk review:

Tux and Fanny - Episode 168 "Coming Aboard" youtu.be/nQD74v57cpk?...

very happy to reconnect with my weirdest friend @albertbirney.bsky.social on here, and to listen to his and @publicmechanics.bsky.social's latest album, which i am quite thoroughly enjoying whilst creating shareholder value today.

Go on then, I'll do the video game thing. There are lots that could go on a "favourites" list depending on exactly how I frame the criteria, but I've chosen the ones that I'm feeling the most *personal* attachment to when I rotate them in my mind. my9games.com

A man and his dog: in @albertbirney.bsky.social's "lovely, warm piece of DIY cinema" OBEX (2025), an agoraphobic computer guy ventures out (and within) on a gamified, monochrome fantasy quest. Re-screens 4pm today at @glasgowfilmfest.bsky.social projectedfigures.com/2025/10/30/o...

"Obex mines the liminal nexus of cinematic visuals and video game narratives to provide a truly haunting playthrough." OBEX is on UK/ROI VOD from Monday. Read Benjamin Poole's review at www.themoviewaffler.com/2026/03/obex... #Obex #AlbertBirney #CallieHernandez #film #movies

nice review of the T+F game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x64n...

“I don’t want to romanticize the past but it’s hard not to love the idea of how these old trade mags were assembled.” Retro publications like Happy Computer helped inspire @albertbirney.bsky.social's film OBEX. Enjoy these scans showing how it imagined a world fully immersed in personal computing.

Conor Marsh lives a secluded life with his dog, Sandy, until one day he begins playing Obex, a new, state-of-the-art computer game. When Sandy goes missing, the line between reality and game blurs and Conor must venture into the strange world of Obex to bring her home: mkefilm.org/obex

this was from an old commercial where if you bought a special recliner chair you'd get a free VCR. look at the joy on their faces

The cover of ZEN AND SLOW GAMES is from Tux and Fanny, the game version of Albert Birney's brilliant animated movies, and one of my favourite recent reflective games. store.steampowered.com/app/2094730/... www.gog.com/en/game/tux_... www.nintendo.com/en_CA/games/...

#18 OBEX The Video Game One of my favorite films of last year is getting a wide release and the director prepped a HARD video game tie in to promote the film. It fun despite the rage.

Utterly enraptured by Albert Birney’s OBEX, from its hypnotic sound design to how it reminds us abt the beautiful inconvenience of community, even while it's sympathetic to our digital plight to escape our embodied hells. 2026 is off to a great start. Review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:

Albert Birney’s latest film, ‘Obex,’ is full of dated tech: old keyboards, clicky TVs, and ASCII art. You may be surprised to find yourself missing the days of tearing the sides off computer paper after you’ve printed something.

still playing at IFC!

'Obex' boots up an early moment of computer escapism with nightmarish panache

SUPPORT INDEPENDENT CINEMA! is a really rallying cry for us at Feeling Seen, and OBEX is as indie as things get. Saw it at last years Sundance and finally got to chat with Albert Birney about his inspirations and to my great delight: Marcel the Shell!!

Strawberry Mansion has over 500 fans on Letterboxd - wow that’s cool, but no way we deserve more fans than The Cable Guy.

One of my faves from @fantasiafestival.com keep your eyes on Dorothy. She’s a star!

“Conor isn’t really equipped to be a hero and saviour, but his strength comes from the absolute belief that he has to care for his canine partner.” www.thecurb.com.au/obex-review-...

MJ's @drhbus.bsky.social says, "OBEX is at times unsettling, at times thrilling, but always fascinating and made with a deliberateness that's extremely confident and self-assured." #Obex recently played @fantasiafestival.com.

After some more time with Tux and Fanny this morning-- This game is amazing. Such a sense of wonder and discovery, with absurd humor and the occasional deep thoughts This absolutely deserves to be in your library store.steampowered.com/app/2094730/...

Tux and Fanny is so good after playing a bit of it this morning. You have no way of predicting what's coming next, but it's very likely to be hilarious store.steampowered.com/app/2094730/...

Giles Edwards (@gilesforyou.bsky.social) wraps up our coverage of Fantasia International Film Festival 2025 with this third omnibus of late-arriving odds and ends. Some good ones here, like @albertbirney.bsky.social's retro-futuristic "Obex" and the second instalment of the "Mononoke" anime trilogy.

OBEX at @fantasiafestival.com is a character study in the form of a horror/science fiction tale of a man trapped in a videogame www.unseenfilms.net/2025/07/obex...

OBEX played Fantasia: Albert Birney’s strange quest leads through a mix of lo-fi media, high fantasy, and surreal horror. A meditation on 8-bit nostalgia, and the competing importance of touching grass, it’s funny, sweet, and kind. It reminded me of I SAW THE TV GLOW. Plus there’s a cute dog!
