Stick with games journalism long enough, and you too may someday see the creator of your favorite childhood game promote your work!
For #PrinceofPersia fans, Ubisoft has posted a series of articles and interviews with team members (including me) reviewing the games' 35-year history, what's new and what's coming next: news.ubisoft.com/en-us/catego...

The title of my next book, the 5th in the John Dies at the End series, has been leaked, by me. It will be called,

'THERE ARE NO GIANT CRABS IN THIS NOVEL: A Novel of Giant Crabs'

There is a free preview chapter in the paperback edition of I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom.

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

Foundational figure in PC games. One of those load-bearing creatives where things would look very different for entire genres if she wasn’t around. Please help her out

video game storytelling peaked with that bit in Metroid Prime where you can a space pirate's logbook and see "oh shit. oh SHIT Samus is somewhere on this planet"

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

Just thought about licking the screen during a Fulci movie and now I’m nauseous
If you want style for days, you need Italian horror. I want to lick the screen every time I see a Bava movie.

You'll never be as cool as Denzel leaning on a 1940s car with The Griffith Observatory as a backdrop.

Devil in a Blue Dress has so many great shots and this entire scene is maybe my favorite.

Was completely on purpose
Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.
