I'd have bet money this was like War of the Worlds, a covid-era movie of people in different rooms looking at screens that they made 5 years ago and is only now getting released. But I guess not? Shot last year apparently www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVtd...

I mean I feel like you could probably name-check your wife and kids in your book dedication but maybe he was in a hurry

Finally the flood of daily spam texts hits on a winner. Don’t pretend to be recruiting me for a job at TikTok. Pretend to be a button man asking me to confirm a hit

They're also spamming/phishing on Discord: account "_clivingston_" and User ID 420239887577513985. Have reported them but couldn't hurt if a bunch more did

Since I left Twitter, naturally I am now being impersonated on Twitter, and naturally I cannot report this impersonation without having a Twitter account. It's a great system. Here's the fraud account if anyone knows how to help.

We joke about Steam reviews but sometimes they get their point across in a single sentence whereas it takes me about 1,800 words. Anyway, I made a quiz where you try to guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review. Pretty much everyone is is acing it. www.pcgamer.com/games/can-yo...

Can you guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review? Take our quiz and see if you score a thumbs up!

Thought it would be easy making up a bunch of fake Kojima character names for this quiz, but it was kinda hard, actually. Find out if you're a Good Guessman or a Revolver Missalot.

Can you spot the names we made up among the real names from Kojima games?

I got quite attached to some of my randomly generated agents. A fun game for filling in missing personalities and backstories with imagination. I remember flying into a rage when one of them got abducted

remembered today that Watch Dogs: Legion (2020) let you recruit and play as a futuristic beekeeper who controlled swarms of cyberbees. am I gonna reinstall it just for cyberbees? may-bee

hot take: wind chimes suck. wind already makes a lovely noise when it rustles through the leaves and trees and grass, so why you gotta hang up a buncha tubes so every time the wind blows it sounds like iron man falling down a fire escape

I should point out the point of the quiz isn't to win, it's to make you say "Wow I forgot or never even know about like two dozen of these Call of Duty games"

Christopher Livingston @chrislivingston.bsky.social · 29d

I made a quiz where you try to name all 49 Call of Duty games (yeah technically there are 49 of them) in under 3 minutes. None of us did all that well. I only got 26 and I'm the one who put the quiz together. www.pcgamer.com/games/oh-you...

Oh, you like Call of Duty? Name every Call of Duty game in under 3 minutes in our latest timed quiz

Protip: Every answer begins with "Call of Duty".

Hey Paul what’s the thing on the shelf behind Huebs that looks like a plate with faces on it? Google Lens is baffled

It’s important work, commenting on every disc they won’t buy to make sure everyone knows they won’t buy it. I do this at the grocery store. “Pecans? Not tasty. Won’t be taking these home today.” Takes me hours
