Canadian upload of the Mario Galaxy Direct reveals Yoshi's voice actor

On the latest @videogameschronicle.com pod, @dringo.bsky.social asks when a physical game last sold out - latest example is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Word of mouth picked up so much that physical copies were sold out and taking 2+ months to ship. Far exceeded anticipated demand, I'd assume.

Evergreen Post: Toronto has lost Game 7 in OT

Americans: Wow, unbelievable sport, baseball Torontonians: Wow, Toronto Sports Team playoffs huh

Sakurai confirmed @videogameschronicle.com podcast listener @scully1888.bsky.social @jordanmiddler.bsky.social

VGC is one of the premier news sites in the industry whose reporting is heavily used everywhere else online. It's frustrating to see them get less attention than other content-focused Patreons that rely on VGC's journalism.

Julliard Professor: "How would you perform. Your Monteverdi? Your Mozart?" John Wick on a different career path: "My Handel."

Time for my favourite post-Direct reaction in the industry @jordanmiddler.bsky.social @scully1888.bsky.social @andyrobinson.bsky.social

"A second Sakurai Direct has hit the calendar"

After ~12 hours of Silksong...Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown continues to be as good, if not better than Hollow Knight: Silksong

You'll never be him

Silksong fans DDOS'ing themselves out of playing the game for an extra few hours after years of waiting is perfect, to be honest

It's September, which means the best drink in Canadian history is back on the shelves - Zero Sugar Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale

How about a @noclipvideo.bsky.social Crewcast theme arranged in the (very limited) Mario Paint composer @dannyodwyer.bsky.social @jeremybjayne.bsky.social @jesseguarascia.com @frankhowley.bsky.social

Ever wonder what the @videogameschronicle.com podcast theme would sound like (very roughly) arranged in Mario Paint? Wonder no more - @andyrobinson.bsky.social @jordanmiddler.bsky.social @scully1888.bsky.social

Rolling into Timmies to order their new Maple Brown Butter Scrambled Egg Loaded Breakfast Wrap, the vehicles behind me honking in anger, minutes passing as I complete reading the product name

Shout-out to the person playing Umamusume a few rows in front of me during the opener for NIN

Silksong fan who was willing to wait 6 years but called it quits after YouTube imposed an additional 3-minute delay on the video, is that a character

Unbelievably excited for Silksong to release so I can stop hearing about it constantly.

@jordanmiddler.bsky.social if you happen to see any extra of those Toedscool redemption codes hangin' around... "Trainers who attend Worlds in-person will also have the chance to receive a serial code card that can be redeemed to get a Toedscool in-game."

Do you realize how lucky we are that Sam Reich is a benevolent being. If he had a mean streak we'd be fucked, that man would become the Riddler so fast.

Donkey Kong x Carhartt You gave an Animal Crossing promotion to Crocs. Trust me on this, Nintendo, DK x Carhartt workwear overalls.

Just out of Superman - refreshing to see a movie with zero politics or subtext, just a good ol' movie about a dude punching real good

Last Five GOTYs: 2020: Hades 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: Tunic 2023: Alan Wake 2 2024: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

On today's @videogameschronicle.com podcast featuring @apzonerunner.com and @dringo.bsky.social (it's great, go listen), @jordanmiddler.bsky.social proves he's a very, very good listener.

We have allowed the shittiest possible gaming timeline to unfold. Post-work Friday of a long weekend, have 2 entirely free hours to enjoy the new Death Stranding 2. Put disc in PS5. 45 minutes to install from disc. 30gb day one patch for the physical version. What are we doing.

You can't complain about Call of Duty being repetitive and then have Imagine Dragons in your trailer, sorry

Me: everyone should be supporting independent games journalism so it doesn't disappear The independent games journalism I'm referring to:

CRPG stands for Canadian Role Playing Game

If you aren't playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 right now...you should stop what you're doing and play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

What a bunch of extremely cool rascals. @tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf @danryckert.com

New Superman trailer looks kind of weird. Why is @danryckert.com SuperDan being arrested by @grubb.wtf and @tolkoto.com ?

Very happy to see that @danryckert.com has joined @giantbomb.bsky.social <>

The @videogameschronicle.com team, specifically @jordanmiddler.bsky.social and @scully1888.bsky.social, had some pretty bad luck discussing the GTA6 release date in last week's podcast. Subscribe to VGC on Patreon: www.patreon.com/videogamesch...

Did Cliffy B take a @grubb.wtf insult used against @tolkoto.com and put it in his stand up routine? Cliffy B apparently does stand-up, now, by the way.

From the December 20, 2024 episode of The VGC Podcast, @scully1888.bsky.social finds inner peace while @jordanmiddler.bsky.social and @andyrobinson.bsky.social duke it out.

Fuck Fandom.

A short list of things Canada does better than the United States: - Hockey - Passive Aggressiveness - Democracy 🍁🇨🇦

Perhaps an unpopular take, but with video games increasing in price to $100+ CAD, there is great cultural benefits to be gained from the return of game rental stores.

A little surprising, but congratulations nonetheless to Canada's new Prime Minister

Canadians seeing the opening of this week's Severance

Donald didn't expect Canada to respond with Punished Justin Trudeau. Elbows up, Canada.

Reading about this insane X360 decomp/recomp toolset created by Sonic modders purely for Sonic Unleashed and realizing they're the Taylor Swift fans of the video game industry in that you should absolutely never fuck with them

. @jesseguarascia.com dropping the horrible Warner Bros. studio closure news live as @noclipvideo.bsky.social records their podcast like "Mr. Podcast President @dannyodwyer.bsky.social..."

Get fucked, Warner Bros. Dead to me.
