Be careful, Jeremy Parish's bowtie is really a camera

Spring weather is here, so that means it's time to sit on the back porch and enjoy the breeze while watching the idiot wood bees bludgeon themselves senseless against the porch screens

Technically, it’s not a war crime, because we haven’t technically declared war

This is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve read in as long as I can remember. There is no hell hot enough or eternal enough for the people who did this.

Any time I try to prompt Siri to play Yes’ “The Yes Album” it takes about five different attempts before I find an exact combination of words that results in the actual music I want. It’s somehow different every time. I age two decades during that process

Chandeliers that appear to be made of suction cups

Fighting my intrusive thoughts (throwing these chandeliers at the window so I can watch them suction to the glass and “walk” their way down to the floor)

Suck it pokey mans

Ah, thanks!

Yep, I have made arrangements to have some of these and the NES Era books shipped up for the book signing

This book is me shrugging at the inevitable and leaning into it

Nope, it's all the same I think

The Metroidvania book on Amazon, #1 new release in "Video Game Art," whatever that means

This probably doesn't mean all that much in the grand scheme of things, BUT it's a pleasant little ego boost to see regardless. Thanks, everyone!

Was not expecting the next Mega Man game to leap straight through the ESRB ratings from E to AO

I tried with Destiny but lost interest after a few hours. There's not enough sense of progression in a game like this for me. Turns out my being the metroidvania guy isn't just a bit... I only really click with games where you experience measurable progress

I liked the old Marathon because they were so interesting at being Single-Player Games. I want to want to play the new one, but it is not the thing that I enjoy now. Kind of a bummer!

Ceci n'est pas une Jack Nicklaus

There was a lot to like about Firefly! It felt really fresh and interesting at the time. It’s just… all the stuff that’s come out about Whedon makes it hard not to look back at shows like this and Buffy in a very different light.

Man, I didn't realize the cultural needle had actually swung far enough back that there's space for Whedon's particular approach to female characters again

A mistake

You know how in Final Fantasy VIII, the power of the Sorceress is a thing that can only be possessed by a single person at a time, and it passes from woman to woman through the centuries?

I feel like this Palmer Luckey image set explains what happened to Guy Fieri

You’d enjoy Guacamelee

It works better if you start small. For example: Hasslevania (this is just one game, Shrek: Hassle at the Castle)

I thought all of those piles along the sidewalks were sandbag barricades to prevent flooding at first, but no… Glad Bags as far as the eye can see

Funny you should say that

Stepped into the airplane and it was sunny and 79°F. Stepped out after a 70-minute flight and it’s 43°F and rainy. This should be illegal

Dark Horse’s standard size is 9x12”! I had actually laid this out at 8x10” and had to retool it when they picked it up. That’s also why the NES Eras are 12”, I didn’t want this one to be lonely on the shelf.

Man, I misread that as “turns him on” and thought you had a very different take on Mega Man canon for a moment

We shared solutions and answers in the school yard. Or, in Miyamoto terms, it was like when someone found their dad's porn stash and passed it around to friends
