Hey! I reviewed The Outer Worlds 2 for @rollingstone.com and I had a grand old time. It’s a space opera RPG that in my opinions, hits the right notes.

'The Outer Worlds 2' Is a Quirky, Satirical Space Opera in the Vein of 'Fallout'
Obsidian returns to 'The Outer Worlds' with a strong sequel to their spacefaring first-person RPG

The real biggest announcement from State of Play:

Yeaaaah…yeah. That would be a bummer.

I see where you’re coming from, and I agree that this is their biggest in the “most high-profile” sense, but they also did FNAF: Into The Pit and WrestleQuest, so they have experience in larger scale projects.

What if you’re allergic

Mat's right! Mock reviews are a great way to get an outside opinion on your project.

Now, if only I could find a good example of a mock reviewer hmm where could one be OH WAIT ME I DO THOSE
"Developers can also become very close to their projects, sometimes making it difficult for them to impartially critique their own work. In these cases, mock reviews and evaluations are able to provide a more 'detached' form of feedback."

Mock reviews and game evaluations: what are they, and why are they useful for devs?

Crap meant to share the statement:

"Warner Bros. Discovery did not have any involvement in Brody King’s upcoming AEW schedule. Any speculation to the contrary is categorically false. Brody is scheduled to appear during the next AEW event, which will air this Saturday on TNT and HBO Max"

This has been debunked by WBD, thankfully
February 12, 2026 at 7:24 PM
Oh my goodness.

I’d have to say Paul Felder from the UFC.

He was a senior when I was a freshman, and we were both in the drama group, so I got to play Big Jule to his Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls.
Who's the most famous alum of your high school?

I'll go first: David Draiman of Disturbed
guys i just found out i went to the same high school as howard lutnick. please respect my privacy at this time.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I always have a little bit of “aw man I wish I could have gone to that event” when I see coverage, but FUCK I am so looking forward to Mixtape and this write-up rules.
Last week, I went to Licorice Pizza records to check out Annapurna's Mixtape. Aside from its incredible soundtrack, it's a moving journey that blends eloquence and teenage silliness with ease, and I haven't stopped thinking about it.
Mixtape is a Poignant Reminder of the Music That Makes Us
Every mixtape tells a story.
