The Video Game History Expansion Pack โ Pitch your story
Today Iโm putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project โ a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.
So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

For an unknown reason, the Greek version of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon series (called ฮฮคฮฮฮฮฅ ฮฮฮฮฮ) added a smug Donkey Kong face as part of the logo that is absent from all other localizations of the cartoon, where the logo is made out of words only.

The Video Game History Foundation is about to launch a digital library! For years, we've been building a collection of magazines, behind-the-scenes documents, and other unique pieces of gaming history, and now we're opening it up to YOU.
Whether you're an author, a YouTuber, or just a curious fan, the VGHF Library will change the game for video game history research. Come see what we've been building โ and get a first peek at some lost media we're sharing for the first time.
Okay! MAGFest panel is finally on the schedule! It's at... 2pm Thursday!
I need all you early birds to cram into this room, because I'm going to show you some amazing stuff

The Gentrification of Video Game History
Weโre not all suburban kids who got a Nintendo 64 for Christmas
Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities:

Here you go, I've summarized it in a single graphic note card that you can refer back to later. When it's all laid out like this, it's suddenly very simple, right?
Right...?
