Hello, my name is Klein Felt.

I'm a working journalist/podcaster, with a love of video games, film, and TV.

You can find most of my writing on TheDirect.com where I work as a senior editor, or my podcasts Reckless Rebellion and Controller Club.

If any of that interests you, let's link up!

Friday afternoon question time:

Best fall movie of all time? GO!

Klein Felt @thekleinfelt.bsky.social · 12h

I am just now realizing there is a very real chance we get #Lanterns and #DaredevilBornAgain S2 at the same time next year.

We are EATING!

I feel like the world has never needed a new Wolfenstein game more than right now.

Today ends #Peacemaker S2, and thus, Year 1 of the #DCU, and I wanted to say that it's been a joy to see the comic book brand I grew up with thriving on screen in this way. I've loved what this new canon has brought so far, and am giddy about the future.

Welcome to the DCU!

"Damn, video games."

Sucker Punch would make a hell of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game.

Just putting that out there.

Me before Ghost of Yotei came out: "Yeah, idk how excited I am for this."

Me after Ghost of Yotei came out: "Wait, did I just play this game for 10 hours straight? Where did the time go?"

I am loving this game. Shout out to @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social and @playstation.com.

Controller Club - A Video Game Podcast @controllerclubpod.bsky.social · 2d

Ghost of Yotei is here, and we are loving it.

Listen to our first impressions on Episode 173 of Controller Club and then tune in at the end of October for a full discussion on our New Game+ video game book club review!

Happy ep 2000 of #KindaFunnyGamesDaily to the entire @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social team. Listener since day one, and have loved every minute.

Went from snot-nosed kid when the show started to someone whose reporting has made it onto the pod one or two times (which is absolutely surreal).

Got to combine two of my favorite things for my latest feature over on The Direct: History and Video Games

I've said it before, and I will say it again.

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Zelda franchise.

What better way to celebrate than a full-fledged, from-the-ground-up Ocarina of Time remake?

Book it. It's happening.

About to play the sequel to my favorite Mario game of all time for the very first time!

X-Men cameos are confirmed for Marvel’s Wolverine. These are the characters we want to see in Insomniac’s new game.

I cannot even begin to express the sheer joy I felt seeing a new Top 100 games Podcast from @pettycommajared.bsky.social pop up in my feed this morning after 2.5 years.

Makes me so happy to have this man's voice back in my life.

Also, welcome to Canada, Jared!

Am I a sicko for thinking I would easily pay $100 for each of these? Probably.

My new favorite podcast genre is movie review conversations that are longer than the runtime of the movie being reviewed.

Klein Felt @thekleinfelt.bsky.social · 11d

Even in the day since this #Hades2 conversation, I have had like five more things open up that have genuinely blown my mind.

This is the game that keeps on giving.

Hades 2 is finally here, but does it live up to expectations?

We give our spoiler-free impressions on Controller Club Episode 172.

I would die. There are just so many characters, moments, monsters, items, and locations that could make a KILLER set.

Klein Felt @thekleinfelt.bsky.social · 11d

Over the last few years, Magic: The Gathering has been killing it with these crossover sets (I am loving the Spider-Man cards).

So, I thought I'd pitch the few IPs I'd love to see get the #Magic treatment:

- The Legend of Zelda
- One Piece
- Star Wars
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
