Lucy James

This week we've got a bunch of stuff popping off and perhaps the best/worst name of a show we've ever had! Also we're having some fun and doing the math to see our own Top 100 games! 🔎 - ConJanned: CrimiWill Origins 🦅 - Duke Mikem 🚚 - VMDT w/Lucy James 💯 - GB Top 100 📽️ - GB Video Club

MY LEGACY ty @tosshi.bsky.social for finding and @chucktowski.com for sending my way!!

everything I’m learning about Mass Effect Universe is just making me more upset, cheers x

I am in love with this week's pick, Funeral for the Sun. It's a deduction game with hand-drawn art made by a 23-year-old solo dev. Obra Dinn and Roottrees fans: this one's for us. lookingforgame.player.gg/posts/lucy-r...

never sent anything to Greg Miller faster in my life

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

please we cannot lose BioWare AND Arkane in the same week

Wrote about BioWare closing for The Guardian. Still can’t really believe it. Thanks @mackeza.bsky.social ♥️ www.theguardian.com/games/2026/o...

From visual programming and deduction to typing adventures and long gross arms, here are LFG's picks of Next Fest October. lookingforgame.player.gg/posts/post-1...

One of my holy grail games for our Audio Logs series was Mass Effect 2. We spoke with Lead Writer Mac Walters, who walked us through the game’s design and character docs. Feels like a good time to reshare it: youtu.be/lhC46YsFDR0?...

Next Fest can’t continue like this. lookingforgame.player.gg/posts/steam-...

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

spoiler alert for my Next Fest roundup

It's as good a time as any to once again recommend @lookingfor.game if you need a curated look at what's worth your time. lookingfor.game

developers, is this a concern for you when it comes to next fest or any other sort of demo? has it influenced your recent decision making? if so, get in touch. DMs are open, email is nathan@aftermath.site, and I’m nathangrayson.666 on signal

Last month we lost our jobs. This month we made new ones. Introducing X BUTTON: an independent gaming network from three ex-IGN employees. A new weekly Nintendo podcast! A new weekly video game podcast! And that’s just the start, but we can’t do it without your help! www.patreon.com/cw/XButtonShow

Humans in Penguin Colony: “If I am mad, it is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end!” The Penguins:

Can confirm this demo is immense fun.

🧹 dustin’ makes me feel good. This week’s pick is There Are No Ghosts at the Grand from @fridaysundae.bsky.social! lookingforgame.player.gg/posts/lucy-r...

woo! @saint11.art and @isadora.codes chatted with @lucyjames.games about Neverway!

Dozens of games are released every day, but I want to focus on one that hits this week. Penguin Colony It has a very clever pitch: what if you witnessed a Lovecraftian story in Antarctica through the eyes of the local penguins? But there's a LOT more happening here about indigenous art and artists

Happy Tenebris Somnia + Penguin Colony week to all my fellow sickos who celebrate.

tune in at 1pm PT / 10pm CEST to hear @catherineunger.bsky.social, @daisyfern.bsky.social and @georgebatch.bsky.social chat about the duality of comedy and sadness in Bad Magpie with @lucyjames.games we love making people laugh then cry watch here: store.steampowered.com/sale/ludonar...

LOUIS THEROUX: (shouting at ceiling) Hi Wallace, it's Louis. Are you coming down? V.O.: I'd been told to expect the unexpected when Wallace came down for breakfast. WALLACE: Be there in a minute! Enjoy the show! LOUIS: (to Gromit) Is this normal?

Hey! So after seventeen and a half years, October 2nd will be my last day at IGN. It was genuinely a dream come true to do this thing for so long alongside some of the most talented people on earth. I got to travel the world, meet my heroes, and make a ton of really fun shows and videos. An honor ♥️

Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

From forging papers to editing films, there was a lot to get stuck into at PAX West. Here’s the LFG round up of some fun indies on the show floor: lookingforgame.player.gg/posts/pax-we...

what are we DOING here, man. much love to the folks impacted
