I've had to put Video Game Deathmatch on hiatus. The time demands on producing it are too high for such small returns in audience right now, and I don't have the time to spare to properly promote or grow the audience.
Sensational news. One of the funniest shows in years and genuinely gripping at times.

Gonna do this with PlayStation 1 games.
This is an open invitation
I will meet anyone, anytime in my area
We go to a bar/restaurant
No phones or devices
We name N64 games back and forth until someone can't, loser buys food

Smiling Friends has not missed once this season. They're on a generational run right now.

It's the paradox of our time: our entire culture has been taken over by hack frauds, which (justifiably) leads people to think "well if this dumbass can make it..." but the problem is you're not a hack fraud who will let Bobby Kennedy send you pictures of his leather dick. That's the talent.
Man if Olivia Nuzzi could get published maybe I should go back to flexing some old muscles I haven’t used in years and actually try to write a little

I would like one of these movies to look like an actual movie for once.

Actually, I'd prefer these movies not to be movies at all, but that's not happening any time soon.
Firstly, too soon.

Secondly, why is the animation so much worse than the original film?

Thirdly, why do all of these live action remakes look so bad generally? Like Once Upon A Time cosplay garbage.

She is the one, true OG of video game champions. Contributed immeasurably to the industry afterwards. This is incredibly sad news.
Rebecca Heineman doesn't have much time left. If you can, please donate for her and her family to make end of life arrangements.
One last kindness we can offer for a legend of the games industry and loud and proud trans woman:

What was the "topic", Aaron? Be a big boy and say it.
First I’m sorry that you had such tragic experiences. That’s horrific.

1) if a person on the news, such as a female journalist talks about a topic, does she deserve threats in a joking way?
2) would you believe those acceptable to receive on your account?

I hope it's just the cast of Dungeons & Dragons playing new characters.

Dispatch 100% stuck the landing and I'm gonna need a season 2 ASAP. I am gonna miss these characters a lot.
November 13, 2025 at 2:46 PM
Spider-Man 2 fans are being weird about Dispatch. They both have superheroes in them, they are entirety different experiences and can't be compared 1:1.

I will say that Spider-Man 2 isn't even the best Spider-Man game on PlayStation, so it's a weird hill to die on.

We all emotionally prepared for the Dispatch finale?

Episodes 5 & 6 of Dispatch firmly cemented how much I love these characters, so naturally that's when the heartbreak kicks in.

The John Lewis ad was lovely. Pretty obviously inspired by Aftersun, which is no bad thing.

Just a shame all the racists love it for being about a white family. They say they love that it's not political, but they're making it political by saying that. Bellends.

Started replaying Middle Earth: Shadow of War. I've replayed and finished Shadow of Mordor a dozen times, but never finished War.

In so many ways, it's massively superior to Mordor but that endgame stretch was locked behind loot boxes on release and it turned me off entirely.
