This account is basically slides from everyone I was forced to do a project and presentation with in school.

You’ve heard of elf on the shelf, but have you heard of Quan Chi in a tree? @philsalv.bsky.social

Magfest has injected a shot of joy into the arm of my soul that is surely not going to last until next year’s event but is absolutely going to help me get my ass into gear bettering myself and improving my life at home in the meantime. Physically exhausting but mentally invigorating.

@jeffgerstmann.com Happy to report the gas station closest to Magfest stocks Rockstar Punched Zero as well as weird energy drinks like Rip-It:

The cosplays bring this to another level for me

I also need to highlight someone else’s contribution to the Magfest museum this year: a slew of Japanese keitai with games on them! These were staples of Japanese gaming pre-smartphone, and it’s rad to see them presented here on their original hardware.

Guess who has three thumbs and has packed for MAGFest

If you have the space, means and collection: a northern Texas warehouse full of proto-Redbox VHS vending machines from the mid-1980s is being evicted. The machines are free and whatever isn't taken will imminently be scrapped. www.facebook.com/commerce/lis...

It's time to rank! 2026's first batch of NES games includes Bo Jackson Baseball, Conflict, and Mega Man... 5? They made that many of these on the NES, huh? Sure. OK, sure. Let's see it. twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...
