Duncan Fyfe

Laughing, crying, throwing up, etc. to have a debut novel coming out in spring 2028. It’s a funny literary novel called HENRY GOODWOLF about a legendary monster hunter and the limits of understanding.

"A biography on Wikipedia might not be intended as a prize, but nobody knows its value like the people who’ve had one and then lost it." @duncanfyfe.net for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/the-tr...

Every day, dozens, sometimes hundreds, of Wikipedia biographies—of child actors turned LA realtors, retired ambassadors, obscure soccer players—are purged from the world’s free encyclopedia. How do these poor souls take the news?

It is GHOST WEEK at @wired.com and to kick things off, we have this delightful story about people being haunted in a very specific and very internetty way — by the ghost of their former Wikipedia page:

Never found a story more relatable. Life is a series of humiliations, big and small!!!! www.wired.com/story/the-tr...

This happened to me. Had a page when I worked in music. Which was quite surreal but, a thing that happened. One day I went to show someone and lo, and behold, it'd gone. I assume because someone there rightly wondered, who's this guy? And killed it. Fair enough. But a fun thing, nonetheless.

For @wired.com, I wrote about the unusual experience of having a Wikipedia page about yourself — and then being told you were never notable enough to have had one in the first place www.wired.com/story/the-tr...

Some personal news

personal news (some) coming in ten minutes

Impressed with the level of nuance they gave Sebulba, the pod racer that walks on his hands like they’re feet from Episode 1.

It was enormously fun to serve as lead writer on Star Wars: Galactic Racer alongside Duncan. It’s a very ambitious project and Fuse did an amazing job! (Fortunately, Sebulba returned and we got to help put him in a video game)

Really pleased to finally say that Chris Remo and I were the lead writers on Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The team at Fuse are the absolute best in their field, and it really shows. It was a great project to work on and is an even better game to play. Sebulba forever

Sometimes I browse through heritage auctions and I find the occasional odd gem, but today I stumbled upon the mother-load: these ridiculous grocery store ads promoting the release of The Jungle Book, and each one has me absolutely reeling. Sharing them here so you too can share in my bewildered joy

amazing section headers

never a good start

excited to hear from a colleague that I'm mentioned in a podcast about why the game industry is collapsing

"Why would Gerhard Berger lend his name to the driest, cheapest-looking, and least commercial F1 video game ever made?" @duncanfyfe.net for @essesmag.com: esses.com/stories/who-...

The same story repeats itself everywhere in the culture: dumb rich guys who don't know what anything is or does, who are too lazy/smug to learn and ideologically committed to the idea that everything they don't control is Woke Bullshit, wrecking stuff on principle. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/w...

I'm in ESSES again, with a piece on the strangest Formula 1 video game ever made - or not made, as the case may be. This is a career highlight; never before have I reported a story by enlisting a F1 driver to ask another F1 driver about Austrian hackers *during the Monaco Grand Prix*

You're all contractually obligated to read this comment Rob Paulsen made on a Tim Curry interview in 2025

Tim Curry should also be remembered for featuring in the best between takes photo of an actor in recorded history.

opened Instagram for the first time in a year and first thing up is "the dog you followed in 2014 is about to die"

kids today are literally confused about whether "partying" was real or an urban legend

I don't know if Tyranny is Obsidian Entertainment's best game, but for my money it is their most interesting and effective design. Here's my piece on the 10th anniversary of Tyranny, which people weren't in the mood for in November 2016 and may be even less so today

Was Tyranny a victim of bad timing or was it a bit too honest about the subtext of its audiences’ fantasies? @duncanfyfe.net on a game that has remained topical, trenchant… and rather neglected. remapradio.com/articles/ten...

Hmmm, this could be a problem

For our latest big story, @duncanfyfe.net dives deep the bestselling pinball game of all-time, The Addams Family.

is this heaven?!?

holy shit, my dream article???????

Such a fun read on an industry and era that I’m admittedly unfamiliar with. It’s a long feature, but well worth the read!

This story gave me the perfect excuse to stop by a few arcades and take a bunch of photos.
