Wildwood is phenomenal. I’m not usually a huge fan of stop-motion animation, but this one is wildly impressive creative and technical achievement. I’m happy I saw it in theaters and I hope lots of other people do, too.

Well, if you wanna get really bummed about a cool looking game you'll never get to play, here's this.

"oh someone else will buy bioware or fund new studios or get the IP" WITH WHOSE MONEY

In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

This is really depressing news, and I hate that instead of it being a huge shock that everyone is reeling from there is instead a sense of "Well, yeah, this industry sucks right now, so this checks out."

Is it because he's a famous actor? The one you mention in the copyright notice on the screenshot? I guess I'll never know because I don't have three minutes to read this.

It’s fine, no one would ever guess the number 4. Here’s hard evidence: youtu.be/UdtbotWl4T8?...

As a fan of Letterboxd I've really been looking forward to @chucktowski.com's Game Tracker launching on Giant Bomb. It's here now, and you should absolutely track and rate what you're playing on it! giantbomb.com/game-tracker

the Giant Bomb Video Game Tracker is now available for YOU to try. it's free, will be ad supported, and it's been by pet project. I feel it in my BONES that folks will enjoy it and I want to keep adding to it. giantbomb.com/game-tracker

It’s finally slightly cooler than the surface of the sun in Texas, which makes it feel like a perfect time to curl up with a point-and-click adventure on the @play.date. So far Houm is scratching the itch well.

Happy to see my friends at Giant Bomb getting subscription love by saying things like "If enough of you subscribe then one of us will play a bunch of Minesweeper on camera."

Hi. I would very much like it if black gamers/devs (specifically those from Chicago) would get in touch for a story. You can get me here or on discord @adashtra

Anyone in Chicago wanna go to tonight's Chrono Trigger orchestrated performance? I can't make it work, happy to sell/transfer the tickets at face value. DM me if interested.

If we're going to get AI viruses in our smart ovens then we at obviously need to shift to a future where school kids can fight them with a carefully curated deck of battle chips like in Mega Man Battle Network.

I trust Tyler's assessment of Netflix's Narnia sneak peek (even though I burn with envy that I wasn't invited to see Stephen Colbert chat with Greta Gerwig).

Richard B. Gray - LEVELORD 11/15/1957 - 10/12/2026 Just heard the news that an old friend of mine has passed on. Richard Gray - aka Levelord has departed the planet. I know he's dealt with cancer on and off for awhile now, a word that I cannot stand. Word comes from his wife Olga.

I hate it when I can beat JeffGrubb but I can’t beat @grubb.wtf.

If you've never played Pony Island the spooky month of October is a great time. Incredible game to just give away.

This is good, honest journalism. (The "honest" part being the all-too-real "I sent an email and then walked away" part of the process.)

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through midnight on 10/7, enjoy free shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

Y'all either need to stop making me want to play Star Wars: Galactic Racer right now or give it to me as an early gift before my birthday next week.

I've listened to a lot of stuff lately about how the future of "content" (particularly on the internet) is supposed to be personalized. That things should be "liquid" and conform to the reader. I feel like that totally misses the point of most of the things I want to engage with.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

Turns out the bulk of this seems to be coming from the End Poem that plays when you beat Minecraft (I’m a fake gamer who’s only ever beat the Ender Dragon in creative mode so I was unfamiliar), but it’s still a bizarre thing to see here jumbled up with the government stuff.

Confirmed this myself and was met with the depressing information that even in this extremely bizarre land of hallucinated Minecraft I still need to bring two forms of ID, because I am alive.

If you're way into the story/world of Control Resonant and want more of that in book form, I really enjoyed reading "There Is No Antimemetics Division" earlier this year and think the vibes are on a similar wavelength.

Go ahead and give Dan, @janochoa.bsky.social and @giantbomb.com a Webby nomination. This is great stuff.

I get that I should have bought and started installing Control Resonant earlier today instead of waiting until I wanted to play it tonight, but it’s still a bummer that the “Ready to Play” status on PS5 means “You can play for about 10 minutes, then you’ve gotta wait again.”

Hell is everywhere for those with eyes to see

I don't like setting my fantasy football lineups, either. This is why I have made the crucial decision to not sign up for any fantasy football leagues.

I have a lot of feelings about this and most of them aren't great. I'd love for someone to come rescue Arkane and Ninja Theory, but with the state of the industry as a whole right this second... Man... A lot of books will be written about this specific rise and fall period of Microsoft.

Probably starting tomorrow.

Narnia means a lot to me, and I have a lot of faith in Greta Gerwig. The "rock opera" touchstone is interesting. but I'll let her cook. (And she's right, Narnia was *literally* [in-fiction] made with singing.) Also, this image of Charn (I assume) looks cool. 🤷‍♂️

This is the sort of journalism we get when a newsroom isn't beholden to SEO, chasing guide traffic or ... *shudders* pumping out garbage with AI. Someone had a question, looked into it, and wrote about it! Nice job, @adashtra.bsky.social.

I have a lot of disposable income if you take out some of my biggest expenses.
