Games media cuts have felt unending for a while, but the mood feels especially grim among indie outlets with the latest wave of layoffs. More than ever, if the game industry values its media, it needs to support them. Buy some advertising, sponsor content, purchase subs. It makes a big difference.

I feel bad talking about video games that I've been playing recently when it's been several weeks having not written anything (let alone making videos) However, i feel like I need to share the easedropping animation from the new James Bond game because it's so ridiculous

Cynic Brain: Needing to detail your videos, not just titles and thumbnails, to maximise audience retention and adsales above all else is why slop reigns supreme Goblin Brain: This would be a fun way of doing a Cluedo style video where the culprit changes depending which edit you got lol

Apologies all but I illegally watched Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels to see if it built on the Cannon movie-like sleezy charm of the original. Alas, Ben Shapiro's epic prose got in the way. Apart from JM looking miserable, it has one of the most insane credit needle drops I've heard in a while.

What happened to Polygon man lmao

Double Fine reveals Erika Ishii will work on the game funded by Kickstarter campaign

Ishii, whose acting credits include Atsu from Ghost of Yõtei, Valkyrie from Apex Legends, and Lady Deathstrike from X-Men '97, has become a controversial figure among a segment of the fandom due to their open views about gender, sexuality, and politics. The Amnesia Fortnight campaign has, at the time of writing,
raised $558,000 against its initial goal of $400,000.

Lot of people, in light of Wolverine having too much Sony fluff, pitching Hulk games that would focus only on destruction and combat (I assume in the vein of DK Bananza) Hate to say if they put me in charge, the tone would be that scene in the Ang Lee movie where he looks at moss in the desert
