If you haven't seen Ran, The Human Condition trilogy, Harakiri, or any of the various movies he did with Kurosawa you owe it to yourself to do so. This man is a legend.

Aaaaand just finished Ys Origin over my lunch break! A bit less story forward than Earthbound, let’s say 😅 but a nice action game that goes down quite smoothly!

I finished Earthbound on Tuesday!!! Wooooo! What a fantastic game.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

A THRILLING package from Alligator’s Mouth in England came yesterday!! Can’t wait to crack into the Harrison, but I’m going to have to reread all of His Dark Materials before I get to Rose Field 😅

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
Please read our statement, share it with your networks, and support us if you can. www.python.org/sponsors/app... psfmember.org/civicrm/cont...

A topical Kirby Air Ride for #randomgamesaturday! I got this from a non-gamer friend I was visiting last week — I’ve never had a GameCube so I had no idea the discs were so small and cute 😮😮

The layoffs are global!
Thank you, Felipe! Even amongst the most serious journalist in the U.S. this is taken for granted.

The data here is pretty sound. It's not perfect but it gives a snapshot of the state of games media. Soon to get a job top applicants might have to fight in a cage.
The bloodbath is global. Everyone hears about layoffs at English-speaking sites like Polygon, but every other language just gets reported locally.

Jovem Nerd is big enough to get a cameo NPC & quest in Cyberpunk 2077. When they fired their game journalists, only Brazilians heard about that... :/
More than 1,200 video game journalists have left major publications in the past two years, and not returned to the media, according to data supplied to VGC.

This is great. I'll take all the Remember Some Guys-style interviews with character actors that you've got, and this is an especially good one.

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry.
