Deeply embarrassing that you'd run this.

You are either idiots or evil.

Either-which-way... Enjoy your exclusive access to a war criminal who looks like if a creepy uncle got trapped in a Florida retirement home at the age of 20.

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

What were your first four commander decks?

(Can you guess when I started playing, took a break, and then came back lol)

It's Giving Tuesday at the VGHF! We've had an incredible 2025, but we need your help to make sure we can continue doing our charitable work in 2026 and beyond. We just launched our annual Winter Fundraiser campaign, please give if you're able (and share this post!). http://gamehistory.org/donate

Oh yeah. I can talk about this now because it came up on the show today.

I'm going to be helping Giant Bomb (and awesome @marinov1.bsky.social) out with editing the GOTY Guest Lists for the site this year. That's neat.

Simian Saturday!

My partner has various Kari Zev cards in more than one of her decks, so I just. Cannot escape this monkey

I don't sit at the Games Media Table anymore, but if your approach to reviews has more in common with marketing, you are not an actual critic

I should've taken this advice more seriously...
Going to start posting this every time I catch myself coming close to wading into video game discourse.

I actually do go out of my way in my review to contextualise how Call of Duty's yearly release cycle and use of AI actually undermines and devalues the countless hours of hard work that humans put in at these companies, but go off, I guess?

Also, wanna say that Hogwarts Legacy part a bit louder?
As someone who works with a team who puts in a lot of time, effort, and perspective review into what we do.....

I'm extremely tired of the "take a personal stand reviews" we're seeing more and more of. Reviews are always opinions but the stuff we've seen from Hogwarts to ARC Raiders is @$%*

If factors outside the work itself impacted someone's enjoyment of said work, it is completely valid for that to have an impact on a review. Being so incurious as an EIC should probably be disqualifying as it'll only lead to boring and substanceless work, but hey what do I know

Lex has a truly sharp voice, and reading this was cathartic as someone who is incredibly frustrated with the state of large games (*cough*Microsoft*cough*) in 2025.

Five-drop Friday! Archfiend has been one of my favorite cards since I started playing a decade+ ago. Everyone I play against feels differently about him though lol

Wrenn and Seven is another favorite. Ramp AND mill all in one? Graveyard decks (my favorite) eating good

Sometimes you read an article that makes you feel like... idk... 15 years ago, some of us got on an express train and saw what was on the tracks ahead. And now we're on a call to the people on the slower train, now approaching, and they cannot comprehend the landscapes we describe as familiar.
ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me.
