Hello, my name is Klein Felt.

I'm a working journalist/podcaster, with a love of video games, film, and TV.

You can find most of my writing on TheDirect.com where I work as a senior editor, or my podcasts Reckless Rebellion and Controller Club.

If any of that interests you, let's link up!

I have this playlist of cutesie JRPG music I listen to when I'm writing most days, and it makes every story I write feel like I am gathering the party and going on some epic adventure to save the kingdom, when in actuality, I am just writing about Star Wars again.

We love!

My face remembering the new Tim Robinson show just dropped on HBO:

We learned a lot about Mario's physiology on this podcast.

Friday afternoon question time:

Best fall movie of all time? GO!

Klein Felt @thekleinfelt.bsky.social · 5d

I am just now realizing there is a very real chance we get #Lanterns and #DaredevilBornAgain S2 at the same time next year.

We are EATING!

I feel like the world has never needed a new Wolfenstein game more than right now.

Today ends #Peacemaker S2, and thus, Year 1 of the #DCU, and I wanted to say that it's been a joy to see the comic book brand I grew up with thriving on screen in this way. I've loved what this new canon has brought so far, and am giddy about the future.

Welcome to the DCU!

"Damn, video games."

Sucker Punch would make a hell of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game.

Just putting that out there.

Me before Ghost of Yotei came out: "Yeah, idk how excited I am for this."

Me after Ghost of Yotei came out: "Wait, did I just play this game for 10 hours straight? Where did the time go?"

I am loving this game. Shout out to @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social and @playstation.com.

Controller Club - A Video Game Podcast @controllerclubpod.bsky.social · 7d

Ghost of Yotei is here, and we are loving it.

Listen to our first impressions on Episode 173 of Controller Club and then tune in at the end of October for a full discussion on our New Game+ video game book club review!

Happy ep 2000 of #KindaFunnyGamesDaily to the entire @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social team. Listener since day one, and have loved every minute.

Went from snot-nosed kid when the show started to someone whose reporting has made it onto the pod one or two times (which is absolutely surreal).

I've said it before, and I will say it again.

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Zelda franchise.

What better way to celebrate than a full-fledged, from-the-ground-up Ocarina of Time remake?

Book it. It's happening.

X-Men cameos are confirmed for Marvel’s Wolverine. These are the characters we want to see in Insomniac’s new game.
