So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

I actually love hearing other languages. There are so many of them and they’re beautiful.
Getting mad about it is a skill issue. And to be clear, that skill is empathy.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

THANK YOU SAKURAI — you made a lifelong dream come true!! 💙💗
20 years ago, I was a teen when we met for the first time. I worked up the courage to ask: “Please consider making Lololo & Lalala playable someday!”
Two decades later…you actually did it. Lololo & Lalala are here — in Kirby Air Riders.

It's sad that every big modern game costs $400 million to make yet fails to reach the pure ludonarrative heights of the Time Crisis Twinks ripping off their Hawaiian shirts to reveal custom varsity jackets during a daring jetski escape

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

In Donkey Kong Bananza, DK follows objects of interest with his eyes. However, he has an incredibly short attention span. Whenever a new object enters his vision, his attention is drawn to it instead. If many objects are moving, he will be distracted by each new one.

Good news for designers who’d like to imitate the look of Nintendo logo and print materials: FanRan E (ファン蘭 E, img 1), the definitive ‘80s Japanese font, will be available as OpenType from Oct ‘25. It’s not exactly identical (img 2) but as close as you can get.
