Foreshadowing his downfall as ‘Woogie’ five years later
This was one of the scenes cut from the version I had on VHS (which might have been recorded from TV) so I only saw it for the first time last year!

please if people can share this around i would appreciate it.
maybe if it gets enough support it will get Steam to take harassment seriously.
if anyone can help 🙏
idk what to do because this means if i have my games on Steam, Steam will not do anything about harassment.

the Steam team responded to my support request and said they will not remove the review calling me a liar and ridiculing my sexual assault because of censorship concerns.

if Steam refuses to enforce their community guidelines and allows harassment, what can i do?

The Video Game Research Library is one of my favorite projects I do. For 2026, I wanted to share a new link every single day to a great piece of writing, documentary, or podcast about video games I’ve collected over the years.

Here's my thread of 2025 games made with Black leadership you should check out.
I'm not an advocate of supporting things just because X group made them - I share genuinely unique games that have something special about them that I think are worth checking out.

I haven't been on this platform in forever, but on Thanksgiving Eve, it needs to be said that Clinger Winger is the worst stage ever devised for a game. It's a good thing only 10 people have ever experienced it.

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.
