Safe Room’s episode on Sweet Home has us in the mood to rewatch the movie! Maybe we’ll tack on Creepy for a Kiyoshi Kurosawa double feature, since we were way too tired to watch the whole thing a few months ago.

You should listen to their episode, too! Over the years, the game’s been boiled down to a “This was where Resident Evil started!” trivia question, when it deserves your time and attention for other reasons. bsky.app/profile/thes...

Endless Mode @endlessmode.bsky.social · 29d

Horror game studio Bloober Team has a spotty record, but its latest, Cronos: The New Dawn, has won over one of its long-term critics. See why @gracemachine.bsky.social likes this one far more than Bloober's Silent Hill remake. www.endlessmode.com/article/how-...

Endless Mode explores the infinite possibilities of games and anime, from the excitement of video games, togetherness of board games, and action of pinball, to the adventure of theme parks, exhilaration of sports, and transformational thrill of immersive art.

Had a great time talking a strange game with Rose and Grace. Truly a game about evolution that makes me happy games have evolved. The plot and subplots are wacky too. Light up your mitochondria and jump in!!!!!

D2 is weirdly every single-player video game being made now and absolutely none of them. We spend a lot of time talking about that.
