Watching Pluribus is legit making me hydrate more.

We (@grantsgamerecs.bsky.social @chrispyha.bsky.social) played a ton of new 2P board games and picked out the best for ya.

When I first was playing Arc Raiders, I wouldn't go solo. I had no desire to interact with any strangers, so I'd just wait to play with friends. But now I'm playing solo > multiplayer. The rush of surviving and extracting by yourself is too good. And the community is friendlier than I had expected.

When I first met @chrispyha.bsky.social 15 years ago, she didn’t follow or know anything about college football. Yesterday after I told her about Notre Dame opting out of a bowl game: “Well, they should’ve joined a conference!” 😍

Come watch @chrispyha.bsky.social and @danshoehsu.bsky.social later this afternoon! We'll be playing games to help the BGG Annual Support Drive.

I haven't seen it yet, but there's an EGM documentary premiering tonight at 6 pm PT/9 pm ET: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E010.... I'll be joining the live chat.

I share a Spotify account with @chrispyha.bsky.social, and we high-fived when our “listening age” popped up in our Wrapped summary. Take that, people our age!

"Just make it in America!" Druid City's James Hudson explains why making board games in the U.S. is just not feasible. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/310/... @druidcitygames.bsky.social

It's been a while since I've written something bigger. Check out my preview of Wonderland's War Duel, a pretty intense 2-player board game.

We did a (paid) preview for a new team-based trick-taking game! Check us out. 🙂

A new business for us: Hosting a Wonderland’s War Duel media event at Going Analog HQ. Thx for the idea, @druidcitygames.bsky.social !

I am currently extremely addicted to Ball X Pit. It’s like Arkanoid meets a shoot-em-up.

I did a huge interview about my time with EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) with @supercaveman.bsky.social at the Gaming Gaiden Podcast. Lotsa stories here.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anwv...

Been enjoying a lot of push-your-luck dice games lately with our friends -- @chrispyha.bsky.social and I chat about them while eating moon cakes:

I have such fondness and nostalgia for Tony Hawk’s Pro Slater 3. Playing the remake is bringing me back to all the hours spent starting a run, messing something up, and hitting pause to restart the level.

Tron: Ares was such an awesome spectacle in IMAX. Great references if you’ve seen the previous films Also, I don’t know how to mount a light cycle.

TIL there's a Don't Starve board game 😮https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glasscannonunplugged/dont-starve-the-board-game

FWIW, Borderlands 4 seems to run on my old PC just fine, albeit on lower settings. 🤷‍♂️ (AMD Ryzen 5 3600, GeForce RTX 2070 Super) The game is a little buggy in areas, but performance is there.

Looking for good two-player board games? We've got you covered.

The Long Walk movie is doing a creative special screening where you have to walk to watch the movie, and if you slow down or stop, you’ll be asked to leave. (it totally fits the premise of the film) www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BtgR58/

Our favorite games of Gen Con 2025, with @chrispyha.bsky.social!

The more I hear/read about Amazon's War of the Worlds (the one starring Ice Cube), the more excited I am to see it. But it's crept up to 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. I wanted to be able to say that I watched a zero-percenter.

Come watch me and @chrispyha.bsky.social !

One more episode before Gen Con!

I want to go back to Japan so bad

In the last two episodes of the @goinganalogshow.bsky.social podcast, we reviewed a bunch of new board games and talked with an industry guest about how they ran a first-year gaming convention and how they transitioned from content creator to retailer. Check us out here! www.goinganalogshow.com

Fourth of July fireworks. Was a little foggy where we were at.

Mistborn fans: is the second book good? I just finished Final Empire!

Someone turned Call of Duty’s Prop Hunt into a full (unofficial/unlicensed) board game. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MFEKuE/

Back after an extended break! (moved to LA, got really sick, blah blah)

This is incredible! Drones recreating King Kong scaling the Empire State Building. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jdtyFT/

I'm hiring! Senior Manager, Social Strategy for VALORANT at Riot Games. You can learn more/apply here: www.riotgames.com/en/work-with...

Wow. There's even a Zippo version of this thing? I kind of want this.

Impressive spam!

Watched Venom: The Last Dance last night. That might just be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever witnessed.

T1: the new VCT Masters champions! The finals were INSANE. I had to pee so badly in those last rounds but couldn’t leave my seat with how close the games were. Glad it’s over now!

Why are foreign-country versions of U.S. fast food restaurants always cooler (This is in Bangkok, Thailand)

So much hype at #VALORANTMasters ! And it’s not even Finals yet.

The designer behind some pretty huge board games came on the Going Analog Podcast to discuss some pretty interesting topics. Thx for coming on the show, @philwh.bsky.social !

Taiwan’s airport (we’re on a layover on the way to Bangkok for VALORANT Masters) has different themes for each lounge and gate. I wanted the forest but am currently stuck in pastel Sanrio hell w/ @chrispyha.bsky.social.

Board game friends! Check out my, @chrispyha.bsky.social, and @beneetakaur.bsky.social's picks for 2024 Games of the Year (from party to heavy games). 🎉

I was actually looking forward to TikTok going away forever and gaining all this time back in my life.

I did not anticipate this end to Michigan’s football season, beating #2 Ohio State and #11 Alabama with the year we had. #goblue

Riot holiday party! They closed down Universal Studios for us, so now we can get to Mario Kart without the liiiiinnes w/ @chrispyha.bsky.social

Spotlight Series going on at Riot campus rn! Watch: valorantesports.com

Best application of A.I. yet

Oooh Michigan just landed the #1 football recruit for next year!! 💙💛 www.espn.com/college-spor...

Got to see a special preview of Arcane season 2 last night — on the big screen at Universal CityWalk. A Riot Games work event, with soda, popcorn, candy, and a hot meal.🫃 The show’s incredible! Already watched S1 twice. Even @chrispyha.bsky.social loves it, and she doesn’t know League at all.

Live-orchestra viewing of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse!! w/ @chrispyha.bsky.social
