one of my favorite traditions in my life. we all write jokes and mix them up in a big bowl to celebrate the year in gaming. it's supposed to be a mystery who wrote each joke, so in hindsight i could have been less obviously proud about the last one here.

I popped out of paternity leave to record hundreds and hundreds of jokes about gaming in 2025 with @leovader.com, @jeffcork.bsky.social, and @ohheyitsjeffm.bsky.social from the MinnMax Studio. We hope you enjoy the 9TH ANNUAL Thanksgiving joke-a-thon! youtu.be/Se0vLQ9bT-c

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a  pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

noclip_2 covers areas of games development that traditional media often can't afford to. it's hard work discovering, researching and playing all these games, and we're a shoestring budget, but we're excited to do more in 2026 - so if you can support us please do.

Way too many good games out today. BIRDCAGE is also live and is such a gem of an arcade shoot-em-up. It's like a long lost Treasure (Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga) style shooter with some of the hardest tunes of the year. A real quarter muncher of a time! Lovely art as well!

Everyone give this a good scroll. Isaiah worked really hard on rebuilding the site to modernize it: making it easier to edit and maintain over time. 🌟

You can buy a Game Informer in a store soon! We are very excited about this! Wahoo!

People have asked about newsstand issues for years, and our response was always, "that would be great, but it's more complicated than you'd think." I'm very glad we were finally able to find a way to make it work.
