Since more people are coming over here, here's my spiel If you have the means to
start a gaming publication, there has never been a better pool of young,
experienced talent available to make something special. Anyone with the capital

I think everyone being cynical about the Game Changer award about the tangible
ways recruiters use Amir's resources to reach out to people who have been laid
off. The majority of the year was spent on calls and emailing people to help get

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! I may not be a doctor, but I'm going to go
going to give some now controversial medical advice: Polio is no good! We should
not get rid of the polio vaccine! Repost if you agree: polio is bad!

Forgot to share this yesterday but I interviewed Neil Newbon and Warframe
Creative Director Rebb Ford about Warframe 1999, angst, and what keeps Neil
coming back to the Warframe universe and his friends.

Warframe: 1999 launches today and it’s bringing plenty of 90s angst

I think we're learning an important lesson for the coming year(s): If we want
real pushback against the worst people doing the worst things, we can't count on
authority to do shit. It starts with us. (and, in the case of Bluesky, Mr. Block
Button.)

So yeah I played a bunch of Elden Ring: Nightreign in Tokyo last week and had a
good time with it, though I’m not 100% sold on the e map’s replayability yet.
Tried to get as many details down in this explainer, but anyone is welcome to
ask questions not answered here and if I know I’ll tell you!

Btw, Capcom, since it seems like you’re trying new stuff like Kunistu-Gami and
resurrecting fan-favorite franchises with long-awaited sequels, I have a friend
stuck on the moon who has a game idea.

Lots of great games got awards in a year that was a little strange but no less
deserving of celebration. Check out as many of this year's games as you can. I'm
sure you'll discover something new you didn't know you would love.
