Not sure why but I ended up buying Medal of Honor (the reboot) and the first two Brothers in Arms games during the Steam sale…

Actually, I know why I bought Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30 and Earned In Blood

The correct Doom 3 experience is the original one, where you must choose between having your flashlight or your weapon equipped.

If I somehow traveled back in time and met 13 year old me I’m pretty sure the only thing he and I would agree on is we’d be listening to even more Weezer to the point where it’s concerning.

It’s still very strange to hear “Send Me On My Way” so frequently on TikTok when it was in just about every 90s children’s film I’ve ever watched.

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

You shouldn’t have to present your ID, credit card info, or face to be scanned just to access your favorite sites, news, or games yet this is the growing reality for Internet users globally. We need a firestorm to take down online ID checks for good-- so we planned one. Join us for a week of action!

I’m worried this will show my age more than anything else but what exactly do grips do for a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch user? (I’m completely serious, I have no idea what they do)

I just fell for an AI video… on YouTube of all places! Am I the bad guy for wanting to see Zeus make his WWE return?

God I want to see what a Disney traditional animation team could do with modern technology.

There's still so much untapped potential in hybrid 2D/3D workflows.
Treasure Planet was released 23 years ago today... and literally takes us off in this magnificent shot. ✨

So last year I asked @graytlo777.bsky.social to send some Bastille song recommendations my way and one of the songs has me in a vice grip currently (Those Nights) when remembering how my friend group dissolved as a teenager…

Thank you Graydon
Thank you Bastille

MLB might not really want a salary cap just yet with so much at stake, but the nonsensical leaks of money they won't prove they actually lost have started anyway. It's CBA season, baby, here's my latest for @baseballprospectus.com

A small item tucked away in an offseason column is the first salvo in what will eventually be a contentious, public labor battle.

The opening to episode 28 of The Joystiq Podcast may be my favorite podcast opening of all time

Also I really miss Joystiq…

Recently rediscovered an old PBS Nova documentary I watched repeatedly as a kid (The Franklin Expedition) and the following is me when Northwest Passage by Stan Rogers started playing

So on the latest Players Club episode I brought up the Outer Wilds opinion piece written by @mfspood.bsky.social and I just want to share it again as it’s a great example of how important video games are as a medium. vgu.tv?p=21406
