I own it too!

Me too! It’s up there with Hackers in my opinion!

My mid-90s internet research continues with this vital artefact

I had all their albums

Oh thank you, this is really useful! The history of the web is so patchy!

Doing some book research into the mid-90s internet - this is a glossary from The Internet For Beginners, Usborne, 1997. It has made me feel very nostalgic

Keza just shared an example of this with me and now I’m too angry to eat my lunch

I’ve decided it’s a mobile library that they drive to the celebrities

EA's takeover, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, and "vanity mega projects": Human Rights Watch assesses the impact of gaming's latest controversy EA's leveraged buyout raises ethical concerns due to Saudi Arabia's involvement. Eurogamer speaks to Human Rights Watch to learn more.

This is excellent work from @eurogamer.bsky.social

MAGA have found this neat Gamergate cheatcode whereby you unleash your lunatic internet army to make death threats against staff of the corporation you're trying to bully, thereby allowing its leadership to neatly sidestep the moral implications of caving by claiming it's a staff safety decision.

Fix your brain and heart

For a long time I refused to believe there were real x-inverters - like I didnt believe there were real flat earthers - I thought they were just trolls 😂

Oh i seeeee! Someone else mentioned this but I couldn’t see it but your highlighting helped! I’ve changed it now!

Yes, sadly the ethical dimensions of controller inversion were outside of the remit of this particular study. Clearly more work is needed.

Ah I think the wording might not be perfect. So the faster people were at manipulating objects in 3D the less likely they were to be control inverters - in other words non-inverters were faster. However people who sometimes inverted were the slowest of all participants in the research

Why do some gamers invert their controls? Scientists now have answers, but they’re not what you think The phenomenal response to an article we published on this question led to detailed cognitive research – and the findings have implications that go way beyond gamers

Five years ago I wrote an article asking the question: why do some gamers invert their controls. The piece led to scientific research and now a paper has been published! I spoke to the researchers responsible…

‘Tis surely better to quote Dishonored now than to regret not doing so later

Why random lines of video game dialogue get stuck in our heads From famous Street Fighter lines to quips from 90s classics, these are the quotes we hear again and again – and even incorporate into our own lives

Here’s the silly thing I wrote about getting random lines of video game dialogue stuck in your head. Finally, some action…

Viewed my 99th ‘BFI 250 Best Films’ movie - Le Mepris! It is very beautiful with an incredibly luscious score and gorgeous cinematography - and it has Fritz Lang in it. Would watch again

BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage Nigel Farage’s party featured in considerably more News at Ten bulletins than Lib Dems over six months, study finds

James Chapman
“Reform featuring in a quarter of all BBC News at Ten bulletins - far more than the Lib Dems, who have 18 times as many MPs, and far too often policy is unscrutinised, according to an authoritative new study. Something’s gone badly wrong at the BBC” www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

It only took me 107 hours. Thank you @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp!

I obviously meant Brooklyn accent btw - it’s early

Personally, I remember - and can reliably quote - every word uttered in in the PC strategy game Commandos Behind Enemy Lines and will often say to myself “finally, some action!” In a very bad cockney accent

Hi I’m writing a silly article on strangely memorable lines of video game dialogue - I don’t mean the classic quotes, I mean things YOU’VE remembered, maybe from lesser known games/scenes, and you don’t really know why. Do you have examples?!

Ah I remember that - I think Paul Weller was back with the Style Council a few episodes later!

Forget Tomb Raider and Uncharted, there’s a new generation of games about archaeology – sort of In this week’s newsletter: an archaeologist (and gamer) on why we love to walk around finding objects in-game and in real life

I wrote a piece for the Guardian games newsletter this week on my PhD research into preserving play experiences, and why I think that the most archaeological games are those that that actually make you *think* like one 🏺

Ahhh this is amazing!
