Some of yall are excited for Ocarina of Time. Most of yall are excited about GTA6. But none of you are prepared to match the dual combo Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered and Shrek 2 Remastered - the true GotY competition is alive.

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...

Heartbreaking. Mass Effect 2 was a genre defining moment. BioWare had such an incredible impact on video games and shaped my taste. Pour one out.

The unabashed racism in the comments of The King's Gambit Kickstarter campaign is infuriating. Half of the comments demand the publisher answer the question "Why is Aragorn Black?" and the publisher "fix it" before they pledge.

I played the final version of this over the weekend with some friends and I’m stoked with how it turned out!

Another game I worked on is out in the wild! I did development for this fun party game and wrote all the prompts and answers. Grab Will Get Won’t Game from your LGS or from Ultra Pro’s website.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Happy Lost day. 22 years ago the pilot for Lost aired, and the same day the narrative began with Oceanic Flight 815 crashing after altering course through turbulence. Meanwhile Desmond killed his mentor and buried him so far away he forgot to press the button causing 815 to crash.

The longest continually published video game franchise is The Oregon Trail, originally published in 1971. It’s since published 14 games. Most recently it published The Oregon Trail (2021) on Apple Arcade, Nintendo Switch, PS5, XBOX X/S, and Windows.

3rd in line of longest running continually published video game franchises is Ultima. The first game in the series was Akalabeth (1979) and was largely designed/written by Richard Garriott later he’d revolutionize the MMO genre and be one of the few people to go to space. Today it claims 23 games.

With Spidey 4 dominating the 10 highest grossing actors list changed. Tom Holland is now number 1, and 9/10 are MCU actors. Tom Cruise is 7th. Of the 9 MCU actors only 8 of them have Endgame billed as their highest performing film. Any ideas who the 9th person is and what the alt movie is?

I’m playing through FF7 Rebirth. The party consists of 8 people. An indigenous dogfolk dork son of the protector of the Ancients, a Scottish capitalist cat, Matt Mercer vampire, and 5 eco terrorist humans in different flavors of queer.
