I was actually planning to gather a load of people and play this in an actual haunted house!

(Alas, the location fell through)

Despite being a massive Persona fan, I'm always a little sad that Atlus has become known as the Persona guys, as they're one of the most creative and trail blazing studios in gaming history. Hellnight...

New #TTRPG!

Spirit Box is a spooky LARP that emulates YouTube ghost hunting videos and Found Footage horror movies.

Can your group of ghost hunters work out how to put the spirits to rest?

Or will they be possessed by a less-than-friendly spirit?

One of the coolest parts of making Toonami Absolution is discovering Toonami shows we had totally forgotten about!

In my eyes, these are the block's 4 most forgotten shows.

Did you see any of them?

The fact that every viral star decides the best use of their 15 minutes of fame is a pump & dump crypto scam is totally a good sign for both society and the economy, right?

right?

One thing I love about Playmobil is the fact that they're not afraid to make toys of actual historical figures.

So your kid can have fun with Martin Luther, Napoleon, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, or Götz von Berlichingen!

I don't get why tech bros are excited about this.

We already have pure, hardworking, non-human actors. They're called The Muppets and they're great!

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.
