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.

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.

I don’t know the origin of that Gex image, but I definitely remember it anchoring this sidebar I wrote for OPM’s October 2000 Star Wars Starfighter / Demolition / Bombad Racing cover feature.

The algorithm of every social site favors and rewards dishonesty.
Him: "Doesn't matter, they're working."
Me: "Don't you think it's dishonest to show people something unrelated to what you're saying? Don't you think viewers will be mad, and not come back again?"
Him: "But my numbers are up even if they never come back, so I'll keep doing it."
There you have it.
