remember how the beastie boys delayed the release of hot sauce committee part 1 by several years only to eventually just release only hot sauce committee part 2?

rockstar should release gta 7 next year

I've somehow managed to avoid playing a single Dragon Quest up to this point (despite owning several) and casually strolling through Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake at my own pace has been a goddamn delight.
As a Dragon Quest noob, Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake honestly feels like the perfect introduction
Now Playing | It only took me nearly 40 years

Really enjoyed playing Alruna: End of History - a plant powered grimdark Metroidvania!
Plant powers rule in this grimdark Metroidvania about reclaiming industrial spaces, and I love the condensed approach to maps that still pack secrets
Hands-on | Alruna: End of History is a Metroidvania with blooming good powers

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.

A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

bummer. i can count on one hand the number of times a publication moving under the url of another brand in the same editorial unit has actually been beneficial long term for the publication doing the moving (because it is zero)

ashley has bullied me into sharing this
HAPPY HALLOWEEN PT. 57643689753!!! 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

i talked about the metaphor of penetration on yet ANOTHER podcast, where chris gave me time & consideration to talk about my whole deal 🥹 a special hour! they’ll play this at my funeral if i ever die (i wont)
Want to know why people play games that scare them?

For Post Games Patreon subscribers, I chatted with @ashleybardhan.bsky.social about the many ways fictional horror helps us live a less anxious life in a real horrific world.

This is legit one of my favorite conversations yet.

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.
