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.

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

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.

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.

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/
COULD YOU DO THIS??? #TheLongWalk had a special screening where viewers had to walk on treadmills the entire movie…or they were kicked out of the theater if they stopped 😂 #fypage #movies #dontstop

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 !
We’re co-hosting on Gen Con’s Checkpoint show, going live at noon eastern (9 am PT). Come watch to see what’s hot (cool?) at the big show! twitch.tv/gencontv

One more episode before Gen Con!
New podcast episode! @cardboardeast.bsky.social joins us to talk about how Asian-designed games differ from Western-designed one (and how they differ between Asian countries).

Plus: great new games for those awkwardly sized groups of 5-6 players.

I want to go back to Japan so bad
Let's Go! To France is the next "Let's Go" game!
