Random photo (of a photo) of me I just stumbled upon from Christmas morning 1981.

How many toys and board games can you identify?

Someone calling me "oddly formal" was such a specific, on point comment that I used it as a touchstone for writing a game faction.
What's an insult you'll never forget?

BUCK!!!
RIP Gil Gerard -- one of the first live-action heroes I remember loving on TV as a kid.

And this tweet from just after I saw Endgame is still my head canon until proven otherwise.

Looking forward to this one!

While downloading, I remembered I reviewed the NES version, I think in 1999 for the All Game Guide. T2D’s attract mode (it has a legit attract mode!) already surpasses that one. web.archive.org/web/20141116...

I love that Ando Prime is featured in the Galactic Racer trailer -- a callback to the original Racer. It was also seen in hologram form in Episode II.

TWO huge Star Wars game announcements at #TheGameAwards now? That's so wizard!

I caught the last half, and it’s great! Awesome to see so many friends and familiar faces interviewed.

Watching from the beginning right now!
Great work, @mylifeingaming.bsky.social and @gamesack.net

Had to have been…

Really cool piece of Marvel-gaming history up for auction at Heritage right now. Cool to see @tombrevoort.bsky.social's name attached, too. comics.ha.com/itm/video-ga...

Worth a read if you keep hearing how “rough out there” it is in games and don’t really know what that means. LOTS of examples here. Good work. @aftermath.site.
Trying to find a job in video games right now is like crawling through hell:

Top Cow sent me a stack of Tomb Raider #1 variants when I covered the comic in Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine.

Somehow—over 25 years later—I’m just now realizing that one was autographed by several creators—including the late, great Michael Turner (on the logo). I can’t believe it. Wow.

Look what arrived just as I was listening to @retronauts.bsky.social’s NES Launch Ranking Hootenanny…

Five years later, I've finally stumbled upon some press for Capcom's X-Men 2 for SNES, @frankcifaldi.bsky.social, from WIZARD #48 (Aug. 1995): archive.org/details/wiza...

Listening to @jparish.bsky.social try to figure out how Master System's ALF could have been good, I'm reminded of this @vgapocalypse.bsky.social game pitch I made a few years ago.

TL;DR -- Whole new concept. Reskin Reggie Jackson Baseball to bring Melmac's favorite sport, Bouillabaseball, to life.

I absolutely read Internet Underground. The “free AOL floppies dress” cover was legendary.
