Alongside today’s big Shadow of the Colossus oral history, we have three bonus stories for paid subscribers. First up: Our full interview with Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, talking about Wander’s character design, Warp’s influence on Team Ico, and why Ueda feels conflicted about the game’s ending.

Extended Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido interview

Parts of our interview with Shadow of the Colossus' director and line producer ended up on the cutting room floor, so we put together an extended cut for those who want to read the full thing.

Ivalice Chronicles is the right difficulty for me in Final Fantasy Tactics - a game I love that has always halted me very early!

Chapter 1 is such a strong opening act with so much to say. I’m so invested in these characters and this place’s power struggle already.

27. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

One of my favorite games of all time was given a loving remaster and it's easily the best way to play it now. If you've missed it, or if you want to see it with new eyes, absolutely pick this up.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is easily the best way to play this classic game thanks to a host of improvements, and I can’t speak highly enough of how the stellar voice acting makes the WotL script shine.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Review -- A Polished, Historical Gem

The Ivalice Chronicles provides the best way to play an all-time classic, even if it lacks some of the archival glow-up it deserves.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

The site is an experiment to see if an outlet specializing in high-production value longform feature stories can work through a subscription model. The oral histories will always be free, and we’ll supplement them with bonus stories for paid subscribers.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.
