Google Doodle has a Halloween themed PAC MAN game up right now. It's for Halloween AND it celebrates the anniversary of Pac Man itself. It runs like ass and has some weird bugs but it's also delightful if you love retro games AND Halloween! It's filled w/surprises+has an end game state too! :)

It's been a year since Concord shut down. And many agree that was the right call.

But the studio that made the game was also shut down.
And THAT may have been a mistake.

@gene.meme and I discuss on a clip from our latest GAMING EXPOSED!

Bluesky default locks my replies? Anyway they’re open
If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Please signal boost.

DYING to know what @doublefine.com's #keeper game makers were trying to express. At the same time, I don't want to know because of what this very special game means to ME. It's both a simple storybook tale and a deep, emotional expression of...well, that's up to you :). #goty nom.

Look what I just got from the crew over at

Thanks to you all and thanks to Ragnarök game director (and long time pal+amazing talent) Eric Williams for thinking of me and including some of my stories in this amazing collection!

Unless something amazing comes along in the next few months, #silenthillƒ is EASILY my GOTY and- to me- the best horror game I've ever played.

But it's not perfect.

But it's pretty dang close!

Let's discuss in our latest video! :)

A few weeks back @alyssamerc.bsky.social and I talked about the balance game journalists must walk if they want to maintain access to game publishers. And as audiences sophistication grow, does that access have the same value that it used to?

That's this:

Lonely Mountains: SNOWRIDERS is out today (and it's 'free' on Gamepass) and it is as amazing, fun, exhilarating, and maddeningly addictive as LM: DOWNHILL was.

And now it has co-op and MP?!?

For better or worse, play this and you will lose HOURS of productivity! :)

Just wrapped Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and it's easily my GOTY, the second best Indy story ever told, and it's breathing down the neck of ELDEN RING for my favorite game of all time. What a fucking delight.

Been playing it all weekend and I think I'm at the half-way mark of #IndianaJonesandtheGreatCircle.

While this isn't a review, this short video answers the question I've been asked: Jaffe, should I play the new Indy game?

Let's discuss :)...

Every generation has this and I was a little old to be caught the center of the NES madness (for me it was Atari) but this image still thrills me.

LOVED seeing this in stores; loved the fucking smell of the games and the boxes.

Any idea what this will be for today's kids?

I had 10 video game characters over for Thanksgiving dinner. Can you guess the character who ate this?

Answer- and the other guest's food choices- in the video...

Not that it needs to be Xmas season to play this but it certainly is nice when it is :).

It's insanely true and it will just get more and more viable for people. What a shift we will see in game design as more and more people start to get the games right from the cloud and biz model elements that caused specific design choices fade away. So excited!

This is the future. We’re in the future now.

And it’s awesome! 🔥

Charlie Brown has untreated depression(chemical, situational,mix) OR he's undiagnosed neuro divergent.But back then, no one knew. But today, the way they treat him is just fucking cruel. I wonder if Charlie Brown (or Pig Pen for that matter) could fly in today's market if they were new characters.

Yes indeed, TCG Card Shop Sim #TCGcardshopsimulator is as fun and addictive as they say. And I'm not a TCG IRL Player AT ALL. Still loving it!

Honestly don't think it's nostalgia.Movies-as the popular art form-have really fallen off in the last 20 yrs.I'm almost certain mid 80s to end of 90s represents the last time movie stars,directors,and all variety of movies really mattered to a large %of the culture.So glad I got to be there for it.

Is it just me or does CALL OF DUTY run great and is a blast but whenever I start it up on PC it has to reload and restart at least once and often times 2 times before I can play? What exactly the fuck is happening?!? #thankstrump

Goodness, it's nice here.

I've spent way too much time scrolling this morning instead of working because it's just so damn nice to be surrounded by great energy.

It's like being wrapped in blankets on a cold morning and you really do not want to get out of bed.

Well this is the most delightfully disgusting thing I've seen in many a year. I adore it. And I want to vomit. Which I adore.

Goodness, people are weird :).
The Cavity Weevil (Curculio dentalis) is a parasite of mammalian teeth.
It drills through the enamel with its long rostrum, depositing eggs in the soft pulp. The larvae eat through the supporting tissues of the tooth, making them rot to leave an opening for the adult to exit.

Did I just order one? I did! And I suggest you do the same before the recall!

I'm 53 and only in the last year have I really started to play and experience #dungeonsanddragons and I must say: it is delightful!
