AMAZING! Just amazing. Amazing sculpt that brilliantly reflects Toriyama’s original drawings. Blown away at how good these are! #chronotrigger

@brianaltano.bsky.social hey Brian, long time fan from Australia. Really sorry to hear the news. Your presence at IGN was instrumental to their success, and the company would’ve been where they are today without you and your skills. Hope to hear where you end up soon. Take care.

How early were players & collectors aware of the rarity of now-stratospheric $ NES cartridges like Stadium Events? Turns out Tips & Tricks magazine had a pretty good handle on it all the way back in 2002: archive.gamehistory.org/item/fe0c05…

By popular demand: we clipped the public reveal of Banjo-Kazooie from Anthony Parisi's E3 1997 video! This footage (narrated by NOA's Ken Lobb) predates the release of the game by a whole year.

This took me several weeks to make because I went through several years worth of corporate/investor/earnings reports but... here it is! The actual, long-term reason Sony killed physical discs, and why they can't go back. youtu.be/_Znc7MVsSlg?...

After many many years, I finally have the All Night Nippon version of Super Mario Bros. Only 3,040 copies of this game were released. It’s an officially licensed retool of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Based on the Japanese radio program All Night Nippon.

Absolutely here for the Polaris and crew storyline in X-Men ‘97 (based on the trailers). Great lineup! Though I can give or take Quentin. Maybe trade him out for Beak! #xmen #xmen97

I’m assuming we will get a Zelda direct down the line. I had a bad feeling about this Direct as soon as I saw the opening game title.

Well…that Direct was not for me. Personally 4/10. Glad you all had some hits though.

I appreciate what Phil Spencer and Sarah Bong were trying to accomplish. Taking risks to expand a player base is a risky move. It just didn’t pay off the way they were hoping. This new direction is making the statement of “we’re a game company. Play our games in our system”.

if we're arguing social media is too dangerous for kids 16 and under, we're basically saying it impacts the brain and potentially body like an addictive drug. this IS kinda true. people seldom carry that logic to its end. doing that would mean admitting every adult online is getting fucked up 24/7

Hilarious that LinkedIn has become the least toxic of the social media platforms. Almost like accountability for actions still meas something.
