Pleased to report that Vagina Doors are in Metroid Prime 4

Space Invaders + Vampire Survivors + Breakout = BALL x PIT (aka the perfect video game) @itscocobee.bsky.social and I discuss what makes it great, Netflix's new games strategy, and the lingering secrets in Expedition 33 on this week's pod: haveenteredthechat.com/episodes/224...

So, is the price of Xbox Game Pass ... <ahem> ... too damn high? @itscocobee.bsky.social and I discuss the value proposition of all-you-can play video games when there's only so many hours in a month and the price of EVERYTHING is going up. haveenteredthechat.com/episodes/222...

RIP to a legend. Thanks for everything, Dr. Goodall.

SLOWLY?

What if you had to upload a govt ID to use Instagram, Reddit & Wikipedia? New age verification laws in Mississippi and the UK have good intentions and DISASTROUS consequences for privacy and free speech. We figure out WTF is going on: 🍎 apple.co/4nkXjqY 🟢 bit.ly/41FCqOL 📺 youtu.be/zL6PcS14Xrs

ok but what if we all just *pretend* he's dead?

KPop Demon Hunters is officially the most-watched movie in the history of Netflix. Let this be a lesson to movie, TV, and game studios: Take more chances on new IP with diverse characters. We are tired of "safe" remakes and sequels.

FUCK this. If I spend hours, days, WEEKS creating a video, it should appear EXACTLY as I made it. If YouTube wants to offer enhancing tools, great. But *I* get to decide when to use them. AI optimizing videos WITHOUT MY CONSENT harms creators and audiences. It only serves algorithms.

I've decided to start getting ALL my medical advice from the AI voices in YouTube ads about supplements.

A fateful trip to Toys 'R' Us and a very supportive mom changed everything for @gameovergreggy.bsky.social I had a blast chatting with Greg about his love of games, 10 years of @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social, and fighting the good fight. 🍎 apple.co/4lIbntj 🟢 bit.ly/4mp5vGq 📺 youtu.be/ZDM1_nIB9Zs

If you've read an article about video games in the last 2 decades, chances are it was written by @lukeplunkett.com, a 17-year vet of Kotaku and now the co-founder of the worker-owned, advertising-free @aftermath.site. Despite the media biz in chaos, Luke is optimistic. @itscocobee.bsky.social

Banks are decided what video games you're allowed to buy, and guess what? They don't like the sexy / LGBTQ+ ones. Games journalist @acvalens.net joins me to discuss why games AND the journalists covering this issue have been censored by Visa and Mastercard. haveenteredthechat.com/episodes/213...

Boycott.

In 2005, you could count the total # of podcasts on one hand. One of them was @mugglecast.bsky.social, a Harry Potter fan show mostly run by teenagers that's been going for 20 YEARS. Eric & Micah join me for a look back at fandom history. 🍎 apple.co/3IJjyro 🟢 bit.ly/4lJaj9u 📺 youtu.be/yzTKFvaAUWI

Laina Morris was just 20 years old when she entered a Justin Bieber fan contest on YouTube. She didn't win the concert tickets, but when she woke up, she had become one of the most recognizable memes on the Internet. But at what cost? 🍎 bit.ly/45F0aFv 🟢 bit.ly/3HQHkl4 📺 youtu.be/QJ-EbySOTdQ

A Silent Hill remake is happening, and I share my impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2, and the BIGGEST Mario Kart game ever. Also, why can't I put a hat on my Goomba? Enter the Chat with us! haveenteredthechat.com/episodes/208...

good note

Earlier this year, a university research team conducted an important experiment on r/ChangeMyView to see if AI could change opinions. Just one problem: They did not get consent. So how can we study the weaponization of LLMs ethically? 🍎 apple.co/4dTnDVq 🟢 spoti.fi/3HRHwQL 📺 youtu.be/yXL7gakEcjQ

Remember when rioters were trying to overthrow the U.S. government and DT waited 4 hours to call in the national guard? But wasted no time calling them in to crush peaceful protests in LA?

In 2006, Grace Helbig signed up for a secret lil' website called "YouTube," and her life was never the same. As a member of the "second wave" of OG YouTubers, her impact on Internet culture can't be overstated. Lot's of lulz this week: 🍎 apple.co/4mAVsyw 🟢 spoti.fi/4dFA875 📺 youtu.be/W9dc25n8iRc

FUCK YEAH, this is fantastic news! Especially the part about the show still airing on PBS, and being accessible to all, day-and-date! www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/s...

I really enjoy when the ad targeting gets it so wrong.

So, where does KNOWLEDGE ... like ... COME from? @jossfong.bsky.social & Adam Cole made a YouTube channel to figure that out. "Howtown" was born 1 year ago. They join me to talk about science, nerding out on process, and the collapse of trust on the Internet. 🍎 apple.co/4mgU0Be 🟢 spoti.fi/3F9KsHF

GTA 6 has an estimated budget of $1 to $2 BILLION, and the new trailer clearly shows what they spent it on: S-Tier Butt Physics. @itscocobee.bsky.social and I discuss why we don't care about GTA, and what we're playing instead. haveenteredthechat.com/episodes/203...

Thanks, I hate it

Stop what you're doing and play "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" immediately, according to @itscocobee.bsky.social Also, everything is expensive AF and games media is collapsing, goodbye! haveenteredthechat.com/episodes/202...

So the U.S. Postal Service made a YouTube channel for kids and I'm struggling to process my feelings about it
