I'm gonna be that one person who says that Milligan, LeMire and DeMatteis' Justice League Dark run had some of the best Constantine writing outside of Hellblazer.
While I think it's hard to argue that Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell's work is the best of the modern era I feel like Tynion, Doyle and Rossmo's DCYou run gets super slept on and is about as good as "John Constantine is an active presence in the DC Universe" can possibly be
Who writes the best John Constantine?
Jamie Delano and Paul Jenkins are my personal favorite runs, but those are from decades ago. Who's been doing good work with ol' Conjob recently?

I have no idea why I'm unable to add a discount for Charnel House & Richard & Alice for the Black Friday sale, maybe cos I was in the horror sale recently, but it's not even an option in the backend for me. Maybe it's American games only? Who knows.

This is absolutely phenomenal. As someone who's always been a fucking loudmouth about properly crediting people and making it clear what they've done, this is a step beyond even my very high expectations. I'd buy the game for this if I didn't already have it.
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Hit portrait artist and game developer Ivan Ulyanov's favorite video game is Mistmare.

If you play the hit Gamejolt adventure game Tourist 'backwards', and then do the most stupid interaction ever conceived in a point and click game, you get a pin-up polaroid of the fictional developer in her underwear, thanking Lang from Charnel House for a great night of passion.

Richard & Alice has an entire, fully written 6th ending in which [REDACTED] returns from the dead and reveals that he is in fact an alien dog who runs a utopia under the sea. It was the longest of the game's endings, and the requirements to get it were nearly impossible.

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

Chappell Roan's look at her Corona Capital 2025 performance is a fucking MOOD. It's hard to tell in any of the still images online, but she has very bloodstained teeth. Her costume was intended to be 'a screaming banshee' and she nailed it.

Cool free stuff alert: They're giving away the base version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 this weekend.
Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse.
There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

Trying to decide if this'll be any cop. Plot has potential, but I can't work out if the developer, @threeohfour.bsky.social, has a good pedigree or has worked on any good games in the past.

Not sad about that. Do a cartoon or straight-to-streaming animated feature or something but don't spend an entire movie budget on The Last Ronin. It's fine in the IDW context, where it's a false future that doesn't come to pass. Standalone, it's just miserable. Makes me sad. I want happy toitles.
Bad news: Paramount is not moving forward with the R-rated TMNT film based on The Last Ronin. Instead, the next live-action film will be more of the same. #TMNT #TheLastRonin
