For the second year in a row, I’ll be spending a portion of Christmas break sorting bulk Magic cards. First pic: Rares/Mythics Second and third pic: Commons/Uncommons Fourth pic: White Commons/Uncommons, beginning with S. Let the sort begin.

This will have you getting genuinely emotional over the fate of a nearly 200 year old cable resting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Surprise snow in suburban Philly! Whenever I see snow falling, my mind goes, as all of our minds do, to Diddy Kong Racing’s Frosty Village song. What game music do you associate with snow? youtu.be/7siNuZ_Cnzo?...

NIKKI BELLA SAID GO BIRDS

Philly Zoo built a fairy garden with a sleeping giant in it. Someone at the Zoo is clearly excited to go back to Lorwyn.

Do yourself a favor, games industry folk, and check your scheduled posts for the rest of the day.

My condolences to the Zampella family, an absolutely heartbreaking story. Just before the holidays too, awful.

GIANT BOMB'S GAME OF THE YEAR STARTS IN EARNST WITH *checks notes* Doctor Hockey, AKA The Dark Echo, AKA Jerf(?) giantbomb.com/articles/jef...

The @giantbomb.bsky.social GOTY Guest Lists, a tradition that started in 2010, will begin tomorrow. One staff member at 10 AM ET. Then five guests; one every hour. This will continue every day until @lexluddy.xyz and I run out submissions or we break the brand new CMS. That Dunk is here to stay.

If we’re going to get really no quarter about genAI usage, I’m going to need people to learn the difference between AI and genAI real fast.

Not a bad way to spend the afternoon

Caleb Williams, holy moly.

2021's Game of the Year demands you play if for cheap.

Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper on a Saturday morning

Has anything in any holiday film or TV special aged worse than the lap-sitting song in Santa Claus Is Coming To Town? “If you sit on my lap today, a kiss a toy is the price you’ll pay” big yikes

Super fighting robot! MEGA MAN! If there’s any mascot perfect for fighting against automation gone berserk, it’s the Blue Bomber.

If I won the lottery, there would be signs.

First post-TGA is up: I sat down with Martin Emborg, narrative director on 007: First Light, about working with Lenny Kravitz and Gemma Chan, the balancing act of teasers and trailiers, and more. He's a great interview! www.gamespot.com/articles/007...

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Steph finally opened the @lastweektonight.com wine tonight and, despite how it reads, this text is a ringing endorsement. My wife is *very picky* with her wines, so her liking it right from the jump is huge.

🎶 I was gonna go to work 🎶

Shovel Knight then, Shovel Knight now.

I have been waiting to make this joke since the card was announced.

You will be visited by three spirits.

Well, well, look who's back: www.gamespot.com/articles/fif...

Seems the Magic lore writers have also enjoyed a bit of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lol

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Lust is a deadly sin, you heathens

The last few cards I needed for my Edea build arrived while I was in LA, so I am very excited to steal everyone’s else creatures in the pod. I’ll give them back, I swear! moxfield.com/decks/VPF-Zs...

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

Looking for an MMO reviewer who wants to tackle a recently released on Steam Early Access game that has a long history. If that's you, hit me up at editor at mmorpg dot com.

Big news! I’m working with Wizards of the Coast to share that the Secret Lair Dandân Deck drops in March 2026! Keep an eye on secretlair.wizards.com when March rolls around. Don’t forget!

Thank you for all the laughs Rob Reiner. Will be putting on socks and shoes your way today. Rest In Peace sir.

i think one of the reasons that it feels like we don’t take games all that seriously sometimes is that anytime anyone tries to offer a critique of a thing everyone loves, the response is immediately “omg why is this happening shut up CONTRARIAN”

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Me: experiences California weather in December for the first time ever Mother Nature: I think the fuck not

John Cena put over pro wrestling. He did all of the schtick, even the old “drop the arm three times,” and Gunther kept coming. Resigned to his fate with a smile, he tapped. Cole then says “professional wrestling beat sports entertainment.” If you don’t get it, I don’t know what to tell you.

This DC crowd has been great all night, but their "bullshit" reaction to that finish is just delusional. After over a year of Cena talking about paying it forward, what did you think was gonna happen?

The lack of “Cena Sucks” in those “Let’s Go Cena” chants has me tearing up a bit. This crowd rules.
