Got my copy @apwot.bsky.social issue 5 featuring my piece on Yoshitaka Murayama. As usual @cazwis.bsky.social and the rest of the team did an incredibly job putting this together 💜

Shakespeare: My good friends at Zeboyd Digital Entertainment LLC have crafted a Ye Olde English to New English translator.

Imogen fights a giant plant monster in This Way Madness Lies.

The magical girls explore a creepy otherworldly forest in This Way Madness Lies.

There are a lot of cool characters traits you can equip to make your characters more powerful in This Way Madness Lies.

This Way Madness Lies is a great game and barely anybody bought it. It should be played by more people. If everybody here on @bsky.app banded together and bought a Steam copy and played it, well, that'd be a miracle and I would be forever grateful.

R.I.P. today to Dan McGrath, great person and super-talented writer at The Simpsons, SNL, King of the Hill, and Mission Hill, where he was right-hand man to @Joshstrangehill and me -- and responsible for the incredible Gus & Wally episode.

Bill Oakley shared this sad news on Twitter, hadn’t seen it here yet: Dan McGrath has passed away.

A fantastic writer for SNL, Simpsons, Mission Hill (he wrote many fan’s favorite episode), King of the Hill, The PJs, and Gravity Falls. Any comedy nerd of the last 40 years knows so much of his work

Anyway I don’t like it and yes I think it will be disproportionately hard on northern team

They’ll take a three month break in the winter to be fair, but yeah February in Minnesota is still brutal

Topline: The MLS is a deeply silly league

More nuanced: I think the real goal is to flip the schedule around so that the MLS playoffs - where viewership is highest - will be against the NBA Finals and baseball instead of the whole NFL / CFB / EPL schedule. It will also kill attendance and the vibe

if you've got the resources and the need, right now is about as good a time to buy a graphics card as you're likely to see for quite some time (maaaaaybe sales will drive things down for black friday, but most places are already running black friday pricing today). next year looks rough.

this cop wanted a shuppet, who is attracted to negative emotion, so he could use it to find people before they commit crimes. first thing it did was go to his wife who reluctantly revealed she’s resentful of how much he works and is never home.

it’s a fucking yakuza substory.

Steam Machine and Steam Frame: What You Need to Know And, for now, what we wish we knew.

New Valve hardware finally announced and I think it looks amazing. The new headset feels like it could possibly replace the Quest 3 - more powerful and no Facebook account needed. The GabeCube is just a gorgeous little box that seems reasonably powered.

I'm a huge fan of physical video game stuff.

I'm an even bigger fan of physical video game magazines.

In the meantime, I'm on to new adventures as I get settled into my new home here in Guildford. I can't wait!

After more than 15 years in the media, I'm feeling refreshed and ready to take on a new challenge within the games industry. Blood God listeners will know that I've stepped away as a fulltime host, but the show continues with Victory, Nadia, and Eric at the helm.

Job update time! Today was my first day as Larian Studios' new Storytelling Lead! It's wild to be back in an office fulltime for the first time in more than a decade -- and in another country to boot -- but it's wonderful to find community so far from home.

New job starting TOMORROW 👀

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

you ever just start writing about something video game related and eventually realise you're just straight up doing investigative journalism

Paul Williams Passes | The Amusement Network It is with deep respect, admiration, and sadness that Sega Amusements International announces the passing of Paul Williams on 14th October 2025, following a period of illness. A globally known and hig...

Somewhat lost in the news today: Paul Williams has passed away. You might not know his name but he was instrumental in the arcade world, working at Sega for decades, from Sega World UK in the 90s to leading Sega Amusements International - the arcade arm. www.amusementnetwork.co.uk/n/n578/paul-...

Itagaki was legendary in the games press for being confrontational as hell, in the dead or alive/ninja gaiden 1 and 2 era he was always good for a wild quote, which English speaking audiences didn’t often get from Japanese devs. Kind of an asshole rockstar persona, another rare thing in games.
