This is such an awesome surprise! One of the all-time underrated game boy games gorgeously colorized. The third Ninja Gaiden game I've finished this year 🥷

It’s time for Button Mash’s annual Best Games of the year draft! Who will draft Clair Obscur?! How many Kojima games can Steve draft?! Who is brave enough to draft Digimon?! With @benlindbergh.bsky.social, @steveahlman.bsky.social, and @jmrivera.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/2Syq...

Anyone else a weirdo who doesn’t spend much time revisiting media you’ve previously enjoyed? Just on a never-ending discovery journey for some reason?

Jalen Brunson to any away crowd after hitting a dagger.

Yeah the Pacers are good but it's not like they've won any major NBA tournaments even remotely recently.

I wrote about the word of the year

Not every night you get to update a classic meme

Jordan Clarkson has now fully earned my trust as a Knick.

Knicks fans I only learned this from when the Liberty won but if you want that NBA Cup champs shirt you better try to buy it online like 5 min ago.

This feels so fucking weird lol

Tyler Kolek is such a Spurs-ass player.

I love the NBA Cup. Your star can get hurt in a game that doesn't even count.

If the Knicks win tonight I'm really gonna regret not being in vegas to run around screaming in the fake streets of the New York, New York casino.

Announced days after The Game Awards?! [checks notes] There was no speech given to the winner of the Best Action/Adventure Game category, which Silksong won. Instead, Geoff just said "See, you guys won!" and moved on to the next category.

Burned the midnight podcast oil with @matt-james.bsky.social to bring you piping hot The Game Awards takes: • Winners that made us happy/salty • Did Clair Obscur win ENOUGH? • Matt's tips on peeing when attending TGA • Our Game Awards Awards: The top 10 announcements open.spotify.com/episode/1CWO...

The Game Awards is so long and so over-filled with anime game commercials that they are unintentionally conditioning me to have to pee whenever I see anime

Perhaps there should be more actual footage from video games at The Game Awards

Chaos has erupted at The Game Awards as Batman has started assaulting Expedition 33 devs

I will not cry at the game awards. I will not cry at the game awards. I will not cry at the game awards. I will not

How are we only on Guild Wars 2? The first one came out in 2005.

Lately it feels like every year is an all-timer for video games. This year was no exception. After hundreds of hours of gaming across many genres and platforms, here are our top ten games of 2025. With @benlindbergh.bsky.social: www.theringer.com/2025/12/10/v...

Pragmata is actually secretly all three of these franchises. That's Mega Man on the left and Dante on the right in his spacesuit. Dante is on a call with his attorney Ace about the legality of blowing up stuff in space. Sorry to ruin the game awards for everyone.

The crazy thing is I'm still a few hours away from beating Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and I haven't done any of the DLC yet.

Skate Story is an insane fever dream (complimentary). It took a while to unlearn the Tony Hawk controls that are seared into my brain but the skating feels great. Easily one of the best game soundtracks of the past ten years. Refreshingly bonkers story/setting with a great sense of humor.

Skate Story is out today. It’s free on PS Plus. I couldn’t find a trace of it in the PlayStation store or even the PS Plus tab until I did a search. God forbid casual gamers encounter something that’s not a shooter or a sports game.

Probably the biggest surprise of my gaming year is finishing Metroid Prime 4 feeling disappointed while also feeling super excited to get back to playing a free-to-play Netease game. Where Winds Meet has taken over my life and I’m a massive hater of free-to-play games.

On the latest Button Mash pod: • @marioprime.bsky.social and I try to figure out Metroid Prime 4 • @luluclemons.bsky.social joins to talk Marvel Cosmic Invasion and explain Five Nights at Freddy's 2 • Also discussed: Kirby Air Riders/6 months of Switch 2/child actors open.spotify.com/episode/64m9...

Nets should have saved Biggie Smalls night for tonight when his team was in town.

I also highly recommend this, though I'm a bit biased: open.spotify.com/episode/4mVS...

Even the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards demands that a work be complete before it is awarded a trophy.

Whenever I see the Game Awards nominees for Best Esports Athlete I feel like a grandpa looking at names on a Coachella lineup

The only Game Award I actually care about is Best Game Direction and I am already pre-angry that it’s going to go to Kojima over Expedition 33.

Dispatch really stuck the landing (in my playthrough, at least). I was just about to grow tired of the actual gameplay but for a glorified tv show, it was pretty incredible. 💦Waterboy 4 eva💦 (Also, I have been playing everything on my Ayn Thor in the past few weeks and will continue to do so)

I wrote about Elon's corny new stunt contract and why the media spent the last five days doing free PR work for him

I can only assume that these new Team Canada jerseys are a direct reference to the 1980s Canadian glam metal band Helix

Made a new Ringer show called Plot Hole or Not Hole, in which I ask TV/moviemakers about perceived plot holes in their work. First guest: Vince Gilligan on a possible plot hole in Breaking Bad. If people watch, I'll get to make more of these, so, you know, please do! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQa6...

That’s my favorite view of a bridge in nyc

Here’s my latest in a long line of extremely cumbersome Halloween costumes

I’m going to miss seeing Clayton Kershaw on the mound and saying “damn, he looks old as fuck” despite him being younger than me.

Sometimes I don’t know why I’m a fan of any teams at all. It’s so enjoyable watching a great game not really caring who wins.

New Button Mash! •Halo (unsurprisingly) comes to Playstation! •Ninja Gaiden 4 Review - Simultaneously antiquated and innovative •The Outer Worlds 2 impressions after 30+ hours - What do people really want from an Obsidian game? + more open.spotify.com/episode/4zBM...

Watching Ohtani and Wembanyama this week has me thinking… Not to take anything away from Wemby, but there will always be something more magical to me about an untouchable elite player who appears to have a body that’s somewhat normal within the sport.

Finally, a Dallas equivalent to this Houston meme

I don’t know what’s crazier, Austin Reaves dropping 51 or the refs actually giving him the whistle enough to have the second most free throw attempts by a player in a game so far this season.

Wemby is so incredible that he has me watching a Brooklyn Nets game. Generational talent.

The Pacers fan on the social team that picked this photo of Shai did absolutely everything they could in that moment.
