I got to interview Aaron Paul, one of the main cast members of my all-time favorite show (Bojack) but also Dispatch, and it was very cool

Game Informer @gameinformer.com · 1d

We spoke with actor Aaron Paul about his starring role in Dispatch and the struggles of recording a game with so many dialogue options. "It was honestly a very confusing process for me, as a performer," Paul says. "But a challenging and rewarding one, as well." gameinformer.com/interview/20...

Robert, Aaron's character in Dispatch, gazes longingly at an old helmet.

Hey @gameinformer.com any chance we’ve got like 50k sitting around

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.

This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.

Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!

Okay jk I did the thing just now and it went fine, everyone can ignore this

Charles Harte @chuckduck365.bsky.social · 5d

Hey! Just a reminder — don’t forget to be stressed about that thing :)

Your day’s going alright so far, but that thing you’ve been dreading is juuuuust around the corner, and if you don’t anxiously fixate on it for a few hours, who will?

Gotta stay on your toes!

Don’t relax 😔 Hyperventilate 😊

Feels good to write again. I enjoyed my time with Battlefield 6, and I hope you do too! 🎖🎖🎖

Game Informer @gameinformer.com · 6d

Battlefield 6 hits the ground running with a multiplayer suite full of dazzling sandboxes just waiting to be leveled, but not every part of the package is as effective.

This gives a lot of support to @kylehilliard.com’s theory that Moomin is on the precipice of becoming huge in the US, a fact I have never disputed and feel largely indifferent about. Love Rebecca Sugar, though!

Reviewed Consume Me! Not a huge fan of how it ends, but the concept and sheer personality here make it worth playing regardless. I had to review Baby Steps AND Hades 2 last week, so I'm really glad I found the time to play this game too.

Game Informer @gameinformer.com · 11d

Despite stumbling in later chapters, Consume Me is a special game teeming with creativity and personality. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/consu...

"Next week, I will be able to do all the things I didn't finish this week and ALSO do all the things I have to do that week and maybe even all the things I need to do in the week after that, but I'll be realistic and say I'll do 50% of the following week's things next week," I say to myself weekly.

I don't understand how this picture is possible. You're literally not shaped like that. You look like a human. This makes you look like a finger puppet.

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!
