Sam Mosher 🔜 The Game Awards

Sweet! See you there!

Going to LA for The Game Awards is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the year's end. Can't wait to catch up with industry friends and make new ones!

If you see me in downtown LA (most likely the JW), come say hi, or if you want to meet up, DM me!

The embargo has lifted. She said yes :)

Magdalena Bay and Geese win another year 💙

This is an incredible pitch. Can't wait to play!

This rules! Congrats!

The Next Jackbox Party Pack Has A True ‘Among Us’ Rival One of the mini-games in the new Jackbox Party Pack 11 is an immediate stand-out — and a real Among Us competitor.

i just played some Among Us with friends. but we were dogs, not astronauts. and the setting was film noir, not outer space. it was actually jackbox party pack 11, i'm not even joking. woof dunnit, as they say www.inverse.com/gaming/jackb...

Design Room Video game oral histories

🚨🚨🚨

We are live! Welcome to Design Room, a new independent games media site.

• We specialize in oral histories like the Final Fantasy 7 and Street Fighter 2 ones I (@mattleone.bsky.social) did at Polygon
• Our first big story is on Shadow of the Colossus: bit.ly/4hjwz8n

One Battle After Another is PTA at the peak of his powers. Hilarious, thrilling, and aggressively political. More of this please!

Leo deserves another Oscar, and Chase Infiniti is a star.

Immediate front-runner for film of the year. I can’t wait to see it again.

Final Fantasy Tactics' Themes of Class and Resistance Hit Way Harder in 2025 Square Enix's 'Final Fantasy Tactics' told a tragic tale of classism. Its remake is doing even more

The Ivalice Chronicles adds smart refinements to an all time classic, honing it to a sheen. But it’s impossible to play this game and not see it reflected in the state of modern America. I wrote about that, and the idea of resistance for Rolling Stone www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

It’s as if the Chiefs didn’t know it was my birthday :(

Sly 2 and Dishonored 2 are included, so you are 100% correct

Cologne! Gamescom! A great week ahead! :)

I'm so sorry, Rob. You are a force for good in this industry, and I will eagerly support whatever you do next.

I'm so sorry, Matt. Any place would be lucky to have you.

Congrats, dude! Immediate wishlist from me!

I’m so sorry 😭 these storms suck!

Welcome to Skybox We can build something better.

We had always planned to launch today, but it seems more necessary now than ever, so here goes: @brianbarnett.bsky.social, @hokutolucas.bsky.social, and I are launching an independent games website today called Skybox. You can read our welcome letter/mission statement here:

Congrats, Will! Instant bookmark for me!

One of the best, if not THE best, goes down. Polygon was a consistent go-to for news and criticism for years, and they never disappointed. My heart goes out to all of the fantastic writers laid off.

I'm no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market. Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff. I won't be talking more about the sale because I wasn't involved.

Going to hang out with my kid. Taking wins where I can.

A perfect evening does exist

AHHHH CONGRATS, WES!

Still rooting for Joe Locke (Agatha All Along, Heartstopper) as Link.

My annual Top 50 albums and songs project took even longer than usual for 2024 because I was stumped for weeks on whether Magdalena Bay or Charli xcx dropped my favorite album of last year.

I finally decided. (Both albums are 10/10s btw.) See the full lists, playlist links, and more below!
