Reviewed Netflix's new game Unhinged. If you've played any survival horror before, there's not really any surprises here. But I can see this being a good way for casual audiences to dip their foot into "horror gaming," and on a larger level, this TV episode-sized gaming format has a lot of promise.

Thanks so much Brad for this wonderful writeup!!

Chaos Agents was Featured in MobileSyrup’s “Here are 10 cool indies we checked out at Game Con Canada 2026” 🎮 Big thanks to @bradshankar.bsky.social for the feature and to everyone who played Chaos Agents at GCC ⚡ mobilesyrup.com/2026/06/29/g...

Get a freak to play a freak

I wrote about my favourite indie games that I checked out at @gameconcanada.bsky.social. I was particularly impressed by the sheer variety, especially with the refreshing focus on studios from provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Congrats to Toronto's @mightyyell.bsky.social on the launch of The Big Con on mobile! One of my favourite indie games, so it's cool to see it come to even more platforms. The first level is free to try as well.

Chaos Agents was featured in MobileSyrup's Game Con Canada coverage by @bradshankar.bsky.social The article includes comments from Co Founder Jon Bankard on the growing indie scene and why @gameconcanada.bsky.social was such a memorable experience for the team. mobilesyrup.com/2026/06/25/g...

Very fun 5-0 FIFA World Cup game between Senegal and Iraq! A nice way to cap off weeks of travel and events. If you need me, I’m going to become a hermit at home again. 🧌

And with that, The Big Con is officially EVERYWHERE, including iOS and Android. I am REALLY proud of this port, and now you can finally give this game a go if you havent yet. It's free to start!! If youre having fun you can pay after the first level. Go con some folks!

Senegal vs. Iraq FIFA game in Toronto!

Timely for this shit reality we're living through, I played a game that amused, entertained, and lifted my spirits. You may have already heard about Lil' Guardsman by @playhilltop.bsky.social, but if you haven't, now's the perfect time. Read my latest: playingthisweek.substack.com/p/lil-guards...

The Furious kicks so much ass. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Canada would benefit greatly from more games industry events, like Edmonton’s NAGIS and GCC. It’s especially attractive to international creatives who aren’t into the States right now. But gosh it would also be nice to see our government commit more to the arts than we’re seeing in Alberta.

I've long said we need more gaming events in Canada, and I love how Game Con Canada and NAGIS are addressing that. I spoke with several developers who explained why these types of Canadian shows are important and how they help support indies like Alberta's talented but oft-overlooked developers. 🍁

We definitely need more of these kind of events in #Canada, esp. given the current situation with a certain international neighbour. I attended both NAGIS and Game Con Canada this year & would rate it as one of my top #GameDev & geek culture fan experiences. Already looking forward to next year!

After 2+ weeks of travel and other events, I’m stoked to finally get back to the movies. First up: this fun double feature. #NowWatching

There's a black hole in my brain where GTA VI takes go. Thoughts on no physical disc? Slurp, into the void. A hot take the ultimate edition? Vlooorrrrrp and it's gone. Opinion on $80 price tag? *incoherent screeching noises* it's wiped from existence

It’s been real, Alberta. ✌️ YYC ✈️ YYZ

One of @mobilesyrup.com’s biggest stories was when Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey both told me during a junket that Canmore was their favourite place in Alberta when filming The Last of Us. (It stood in for Jackson.) 3.5 years later, I finally visited myself, and the town is as lovely as they said.

Touched some grass in Banff today. 10/10 would recommend.

When your prepaid bus to the Alberta Rockies no-shows and you’re stuck paying a lot more to get an Uber just to make it to your tour on time.

Team Canada for the win!

In a better world this could have been the best way to get into PC gaming and instead we live in hell

Steam Machine starts at $1628 in Canada and goes up to $2038 LOL

Go get that bread, Ontario devs! Love seeing more support. I hope the pilot becomes a permanent program.

Great piece from @katyar.bsky.social from @xpgaminginc.bsky.social Summit about funding opportunities for Canadian game devs, especially the Canada Media Fund and its latest pilot program. 🍁 🎮

Had a lovely chat with Deborah Ann Woll at @gameconcanada.bsky.social! She talked about why GCC is one of her favourite cons, Karen’s arc in Daredevil: Born Again S2, what she’s excited to explore with Faye in God of War Laufey & filming Tales From Woodcreek at Toronto’s Black Creek Pioneer Village.

Had the great pleasure of interviewing the wonderful Deborah Ann Woll at @gameconcanada.bsky.social! As a huge fan of both Daredevil and God of War, this was very cool to get to do.

As someone who knows nothing about Warhammer, it was very fun to paint my first mini at Game Con Canada. I was stressed with the time limit so I didn’t really know what I was going for, but for a first-time effort, not bad!

Don't get swindled out of this coming-of-age teenage comedy! The Big Con: Grift of the Year Edition pre-orders are closing tonight! Nab yourself a copy on PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch while you have the chance! https://bit.ly/3OBHU9N

Game Con Canada continues to prove itself as one of the best places to discover standout indie games, with this year's show floor packed with creativity and ambition. https://www.cgmagonline.com/articles/features/indie-game-con-canada-2026/ #GameConCanada #Indies @gameconcanada.bsky.social

So cool seeing our friends at @cgmagazine.bsky.social giving out awards to indie games at Game Con Canada! 🍁 🎮 Go @thedaynaeileen.bsky.social! 👏 And congrats to all the winners, including Edmonton’s own @lucidrainstudios.bsky.social for winning Best Game of Show for Inferius!

She was literally such a delight, and could NOT be more excited about the new God of War Laufey!

Achievement Unlocked: Visited West Edmonton Mall. Interesting place.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the great dads (and single mothers like my own) out there! And best wishes to everyone else who finds today difficult for whatever reason. 🫂

A thing happened today! Stay tuned to @cgmagazine.bsky.social for more

Close enough. Welcome back, E3.

I dont usually do this - but holy shit what are we doing here? screenrant.com/final-fantas...

“It never rains in Edmonton,” they said. 😤

Checking out the @gameconcanada.bsky.social showfloor after foolishly doing back-to-back meetings for 5 hours. Special shoutout to Inferius from Edmonton’s own @lucidrainstudios.bsky.social for winning the Big Indie Pitch! It’s a rad Lovecraftian first-person roguelike deck builder.

Here is my slightly unhinged chat with YDB of Wu-Tang about attending Game Con Canada and NAGIS, working with Sega on Shinobi, getting a Japanese Dreamcast from his dad ODB and what he’s looking forward to checking out in Edmonton.
