My video game hell is Slay The Spire 2 just Silksong-ing for the next 5 years

Travis, Katie & I released what will likely be the final episode of Cutscenes today. @traviscolenutt.bsky.social @lesperak.bsky.social We started this humble video game movie & TV review show as a way to hang out around COVID and was really great from start to finish. I’m really proud of it. 🧵

Fancy executives killing Blizzcon back in the day because the event itself “doesn’t make a lot of money” is the most blatant example of corporate dumbassery. (Play Nice by Jason Shreier is a good read)

Heard someone use the word “snot” today and I don’t think I’ve heard snot since 1998

I’ve been so excited for this game for about a year and a half and it’s finally out! Congratulations to the lovely @ritualstudios.bsky.social team on the release and amazing reception!!

I have another podcast with @traviscolenutt.bsky.social and @lesperak.bsky.social and the fifth and probably final season starts today! The first episode is about the Uncharted movie! Listen: plnk.to/cutscenes

Press Start?

For everyone who happened to listen to our Pax East 2025 Episode! Nearly *every* game we talked about now has a demo on Steam due to Next Fest. Here's a list of the games that we talked about that you can check out! 🧵

For the local homies - hosting Video Game Trivia once again at Circuit. Come through!

There is a small growing rebellion against things that are newer and fancier but actually way worse and I’m so here for it

It's tough out here... Mind helping a small indie by spreading the good word of LUCID? 🙏❤️ #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart

We’ve all been whining and begging for an RPG you can finish in 20 hours and we got one and now we’re all gonna play it for 60

So the thing everyone calls it anyway cuz it’s the most obvious version of that name. Alright

AI can’t make a Clair Obscur

Another year, another Pax East in the books. Thank you to all the organizers, enforcers and convention workers who make it happen. Most of all thanks to all the game developers who continue to impress and inspire. Time to get wishlisting! #PaxEast #SupportIndies

Thrilled I got an invite to the preview and ooh there was a lot of great stuff in there! If you love video games this is appointment viewing. Mark your calendars - May 22nd

Clair Obscur and StarVaders is everything I need right now. Perfect one-two punch for game releases for me

I feel ok about the election, Clair Obscur has instantly grabbed me and I found my good chapstick I’d misplaced. Hot damn, what a day

Niagara-on-the-Lake elects big glass of white wine #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

That’s a 10 outta 10 cat right there

Blue Prince really snowballs on ya doesn’t it

A major federal election debate being moved to accommodate a regular season hockey game is the most Canadian ass thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I love it

Omgomgomgomg

In these strange times the Heard Island Government account is delightful

Another year, another Bloodborne anniversary passed with me staring out the window wondering where the remake is. Or remaster. Or sequel. I’ll take a slimy squid plushie at this point.

Please don’t get cancelled, please don’t get cancelled, please don’t get cancelled

Given the "Buy Canadian" push amid this asinine U.S. trade war, I rounded up a bunch of games that are both made *and* owned by Canadians. 🇨🇦 🎮 From @thelongdark.bsky.social and @deadbydaylight.com to @gord.games’ Moving Houses & @visaigames.bsky.social’ Venba, there are so many great options!

This is an AI chat bot with an Aloy skin. A really bad one. I beg companies that operate in a creative medium to stop trying to get rid of writers and actors.

We gather religion points, run from dogs and push some boxes during our time with Indika. A great chat between @traviscolenutt.bsky.social, @jacob.bsky.social and @lesperak.bsky.social out now on all major podcasting platforms! Listen: plnk.to/leftbehind

It sounds weird but honestly, Canada kind of needed this. Another Canada-US classic. Congrats boys 🎉 🇨🇦

This Canada-US round robin game feels like a Stanley Cup game 7

That Harrison Ford Jeep commercial was so fucking weird I can’t take it 😳

Are you saying Boo or Boo-urns?

Am I the only one who kind of likes the score bug? Also, apparently it’s called a score bug?

Tom Brady’s face gives me uncanny valley

Watching Lions playoffs is gonna physically harm me at some point

Nothing will make me yeet out of a YouTube video faster than an AI generated voiceover

Watching Buffy in the middle of the night in the dark on my dying laptop battery because the power went out is a whole mood

I can’t get over it

So basically at the end of the Poptart Bowl they picked one of the Poptart living mascots out of the herd, forced him to get into the toaster to get fried to death while everyone cheered and then they ate him. That was some The Hills Have Eyes shit 😳

Bangerz

Finally played a perennial backlog game and chatted about it with @jacob.bsky.social and special guest @rogueleader76.bsky.social. It was chock full of head banging and conflicted feelings.

We CAN all get along 😂. Thanks to @storyeverpod.bsky.social for having me! Check it out below ⬇️

This actually makes me a smidge nervous for 4 because I don’t think that’s what the problem with 3 was. Just give me some compelling characters that aren’t exhausting to listen to.

We have one more episode coming in 2024… Brutal Legend with special guest @rogueleader76.bsky.social! Any questions for us?

👀

Well this really fucking imploded didn’t it

An incredible night for gamers in their mid-thirties
