The @wired.com art department has been on fire recently, which also seens a particularly apt description on this occasion

I genuinely feel it’s going to take me longer to beat Silksong than it took me to beat Sekiro β€”and it took me two years to beat Sekiro. jfc this game is hard

Love that track (the guitar solo is πŸ”₯ πŸ”₯), but it's tough to beat Subdivisions

Going to college for video games | Post Games Get more from Post Games on Patreon

It's back-to-school season, which has me wondering...

Why do students go to college for video games? And what's like like as a video game professor?

Silksong is here. Reddit will never be the same Clown No More. How can Team Cherry's Hollow Knight follow-up possibly live up to eight years of Creative Shitposting? Remembering r/HollowKnight and r/Silksong's weirdest moments.

Happy Silksong weekend to all who celebrate. A reminder to take a pause from the game to read @ohnorosco.bsky.social's Reddit clown meme essay and my homage to art mbh4h.substack.com/p/hollow-kni...

Silksong is so stupid hard it's taken me 10+ tries to get past the training boss and it’s been downhill from there. Unfortunately, I also have the sneaking suspicion this might just be me.

I know it's a cliche to write "end of an era" but in this case I think it's most apt. Welcome back to the big 'ol outside world and looking forward to the launch of your home improvement YouTube channel

In further honor of Silksong day (t-minus 45 mins and counting) and an homage to all the clown fan art on r/HollowKnight (and @ohnorosco.bsky.social's essay on MBH4H), I made my own HollowSilk art, here in 5K wallpaper format

A very happy Silksong day to all who celebrate! I only started playing Hollow Knight last week and immediately wondered what I'd been doing with my life that I'd never played it before. And then @ohnorosco.bsky.social explained the whole clown thing, and his essay was bornβ€”and I got to make art

I'm going to have to watch this. I photographed the Quay brothers in their London studio in the early 2000s. Their work is seriously impressive, and deeply weird

Silksong drops September 4, so naturally I’ve just started playing Hollow Knight for the first time and only eight years late. How on earth did I miss this gorgeous and stupid-hard game?

I cannot stress enough how good this documentary about 2000 AD is. The opening minutes are an incredible snapshot of coming of age in 1970s Britain www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZC7...

In the interest of research for this essay, I rewatched Sylvester Stallone’s 1995 fiasco of a Judge Dredd film just to remind myself if it was as bad as I remembered. It was.

The bastard we deserve: Why we're still waiting for a real Judge Dredd movie Judge Dredd is a perfect movie on paper. It just hasn’t quite worked on the big screen. Yet.

It’s been decades since I last read Judge Dredd. But I still remember buying 2000 AD for the first time and the impact the comicβ€”and the characterβ€”had on me as a teenager. Judge Dredd is a perfect movie on paper. It just hasn’t quite worked on the big screen. Yet. open.substack.com/pub/mbh4h/p/...

You make a good point. But my love for FromSoftware games comes more from the exploration, world-building, strategy, and art design. Yes, NightReign has some of that, but I find "Groundhog Day" mechanics deeply annoyingβ€”if I have to fight those spiders one more time, I'm going to lose my mind!
