Really have the feeling this is going to go down as an all-time great NFL season.

An ESPN image features a quote from Gunner Olszewski talking about Cam Skattebo. He says “he’s genuinely an idiot.”

Yeah I can see the concern about it depicting major cities as crime hell holes and all if you take it out of context, but the actual context of the very funny story softens any fear of that a lot! Fuckin car chase past Barclays center lmao.

It’s so fucking good. It should have been the template for how long and scoped out a AAA game of that style should be. It’s the ideal of the 90 minute blockbuster in game form.

That’s the funniest part to me. Of all places, the military terrorist group is like “let’s build a bomb in a Brooklyn Heights townhouse.”

I know that I should, as a New Yorker, find Battlefield 6's Brooklyn mission offensive or in poor taste or something, but I mostly just that that it's so fucking funny dude. www.polygon.com/battlefield-...

Battlefield 6's Brooklyn mission is almost too ridiculous to believe

I'm pretty sure this is what my mom thinks NYC is like

The part in this episode where Brian reveals the plot of Pokemon Conquest to me sent me into the stratosphere. Could not believe it.

This week on All Things Nintendo, @marioprime.bsky.social and I have a blast running down Pokémon’s long history with spin-offs. Who knew 16th century daimyō Oda Nobunaga had a Shiny Rayquaza? youtu.be/giSa8uKyrOY?...

Hello friends. Today, I'm releasing my first Duckspeak album in 5 years. Bones & Skin: 2012 - 2022 is a double compilation pulling together a decade's worth of my rarities, unreleased demos, and covers. It's a vulnerable, messy project that means a lot to me.

An album cover for Duckspeak's Bones and Skin: 2012 - 2022. It shows an abstracted circular texture that looks like skin under a microscope on a faded purple background.

Thanks to everyone who has sent along kind words for this. It feels weird putting out music again, and even weirder rereleasing old music that’s not exactly polished. But it’s been cool to reflect on this material!

On Monday, Yacht Club Games delayed the much-anticipated upcoming game Mina the Hollower.

On Tuesday, I visited their studio and saw the game. It made for a rare glimpse at why a video game gets delayed and what "polish" actually means.

This week's column:

Why 'Mina the Hollower' Was Delayed

Yacht Club Games hasn't given a new release date, but the delay shouldn’t be more than a few months

Honestly I don't think most people did! I took a break when I got full time into games media because I wanted to focus on that craft. Haven't really talked about it much in years!

it’s time we talk about one of the most important parts of a great horror game: the creepy doll

the haunted dolls in silent hill F and bloodborne, in particular, are the most perfect chariots through the underworld

i’d be lost in the nightmare without them…🕊️

www.gamesradar.com/games/silent...

The best part of Silent Hill f is also my favorite from Bloodborne, and it has nothing to do with "Soulslike" combat

Opinion | It's not always a haunted doll, but it's usually a haunted doll

gio has a quality i think is kind of a superpower: the rare ability to just do the thing you feel like doing without tying yourself into knots over how it will look. even if it's imperfect, even if you're anxious, to put yourself out there anyway because you'll always be better for it
