"How lovely, then, for noobs and old-timers alike to have this visual chronicle sorting out its sometimes-chaotic evolution, from an author, illustrator and translator whose love for the medium — and nostalgia for its sundry eras — shines through virtually every panel." -Colin Dwyer, @npr.org
Screenshot from NPR article: "The Age of Video Games: A Graphic History of Gaming from Pong to VR and Beyond, by Jean Zeid, illustrated by Emilie Rouge, translated by Jen Vaughn Since Pong, granddaddy of them all, began gobbling coins more than half a century ago, video games have lived on change, and not just the kind that buys another round at the arcade. Now settled into respectable (and exceptionally lucrative) middle age, the industry has retained an insurgent's propensity for constant revolution – in technologies, playstyles, producers, you name it. How lovely, then, for noobs and old-timers alike to have this visual chronicle sorting out its sometimes-chaotic evolution, from an author, illustrator and translator whose love for the medium — and nostalgia for its sundry eras — shines through virtually every panel."

Grab a copy at your local comic shop or bookshop: bookshop.org/a/82330/9798...
Image of Jen holding a real version of the comic book in French and posing with a fake version of the book in English. The cover is in Émilie Rouge’s signature teals and salmon pink. Panel featuring engineer and designer Jerry Lawson, a Black man with a goatee and mustache. He dreamed and created the first interchangeable cartridges for video games Panels featuring women in games (both white women in this example) including Amy Briggs with her historical romantic adventure, Plundered Hearts, and Jane Jensen joining Sierra On-Line in 1991 and making detective games based on the French quarter of New Orleans called Gabriel Knight. Panels about Tōru Iwatani, creator of PAC-man. He is a light skinned Japanese man with short black hair. PAC-man was originally called Puck-man but the name was changed for fear of graffiti change pick to ‘fuck’. The game sold 4,300,000 arcade cabinets in a few years!

La précommande est enfin arrivée, très heureux d'avoir la chance de participer à ce moment de fête que représente une sortie de console Nintendo. Les cris de joie ont résonné dans le salon, c'est bien ce que l'on demande à cette machine familiale en forme de Switch aboutie.

It was announced last week that artist Viktor Antonov had died, and it was clear people had a lot of love for him. So I reached out to some former colleagues, like Marc Laidlaw, Harvey Smith, Laura Dubuk and Raphaël Colantonio, who all wrote wonderful tributes.

Le physique décroche sèchement.

The rate of decline in US physical video game software spending accelerated in 2024.

Spending on physical video game software in the US has been cut in more than half since 2021 and is now more than 85% below its 2008 peak.

We'll see if Switch 2 can help slow/reverse this trend in 2025.

Sur X(.)com, le patron de Twitter/X France publie une tribune en réaction aux "récents départs de notre plateforme". Où il regrette que l'entreprise n'ait pas été contactée en amont "dans un certaine nb de cas".
Voilà ce que la même structure répondait aux journalistes, il y a quelques mois à peine
Message du patron de Twitter/X France sur les nombreux départs de la plateforme. Il regrette que dans un certain nombre de cas, "nous n'ayons pas été contactés alors même que les personnes avaient nos coordonnées". Une réponse du service presse de Twitter/X à un de mes mails adressé en mars 2023, où la plateforme répond automatiquement aux journalistes avec un emoji crotte.
