Forgotten Island was aces. Saw it with the whole unit at the first regular screening.

Back on a college campus today and it’s wild to see just how young the students look. I remember feeling like an adult but I must have looked just like the people here.

James S. A. Corey constant use of contradictions about literally everything is driving me insane. “Thing is x, but thing could also not be x” as a primary means of description is just a frustrating pattern and they do it constantly.

Feels good to be shipping again. Release management might be one of my favorite parts of the job, but I think it has more to do with the people who I get to work with then necessarily my own ability. I’m really lucky to have such a great team.

The general hum of a mall food court, rattled by the persistent trill of a fire alarm, while a young girl in an Elsa costume with flashing light sneakers gets bubble tea with her parents, nonplussed.

Decided to walk with the family to skytrain then to the mall and when we get there, there’s a fire alarm but everyone is still just doing mall things. Can’t think of a more apt comparison to life for the last decade.

I saw a man in a blue suit with a carry-on suitcase sitting in the corner with one hand balled into a fist as he collapsed baby bell wrappers and wax into a ball. The other hand was holding the half empty mesh bag of baby bells as he was slowly chewing and occasionally glancing at me.

Surprised myself at how I felt during my long run today. I’m feeling a little bit better about the total distance for the BMO half next week. Even if my time is going to be awful, I at least feel like I’m going to be able to complete it without wanting to die.

Our Darkest Dungeon 10th anniversary celebration continues with the release of two dice sets from Misty Mountain Gaming! These sets are inspired by the flawed heroes, and unspeakable horrors that lurk beneath the Estate. The dice drop on Misty Mountain’s website on May 8.

Two dice sets, one obsidian stone, the other resin are pictured in black packaging. Heroes from Darkest Dungeon are visible on the packaging. The dice are posed against a background that features the dilapidated Estate and a blood red sky.

Happy Birthday Darkest Dungeon! Red Hook Studios co-founders Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman have shared the following message to mark the 10th anniversary of Darkest Dungeon’s 1.0 release. #darkestdungeon

A Statement from the Red Hook Founders

When we founded Red Hook, our goal was to support ourselves while making a game of our own dreams. Simple to describe, but not easy. We knew the difficulty, of course, because we had previously worked on other projects at other companies. We had seen our share of canceled games, failed games, or games that were good but couldn’t find a large audience.

10 years ago, on Jan 19th, 2016, Darkest Dungeon was “completed” and released as 1.0.

It was immediately clear that we had bottled lightning. Back in the pre-release days, we didn’t dare to entertain the fantasy that our work would resonate to the extent it has, or find such a passionate and creative audience. But it did.

As we reflect upon this 10 year run (11 if you include early access), the fullness of time has made us realize that connecting with you, the audience, proved to be one of the most fulfilling and thrilling parts of the entire dungeon crawl. Thanks to you and your perseverance, the game wasn’t just flash in the pan.

This game about resilience showed its own resilience. A hardscrabble and mean game about making the best of a bad situation created an incredibly good situation for us and the development team.

We are so grateful for everyone who has ever engaged with Darkest Dungeon over the years - whether by playing, making art, filming let’s plays and guides, getting yourself tattooed, writing, posting, commenting, and of course critiquing. (And yes, we love reading about the occasional party wipe due to spiders. Patently unfair, but always funny.)

Whether you have been with us since the days of Kickstarter or just completed the tutorial yesterday (hopefully Reynauld and Dismas both survived), we are happy you are here. And stay tuned - we're not out of the dungeon yet.

This expedition, at least, promises success. –The Ancestor

–Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman

Constantly in awe in the sheer volume of ridiculous transitions and beats in Death Stranding 2. It’s just so wildly eclectic that it still finds ways to land. That said, the soundtrack does so much heavy lifting.
