www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/i-... Ridiculous thing to believe, but borderline incompetent to be a CEO and not realise this is just a really stupid thing to actually say, even if you believe it. Crunch doesn't help anyone do their best work, defending it in 2026 is astoundingly silly.

gamesradar.com

"I expect people to crunch," says Wardogs boss, so his studio will "check people's socials" to see if they criticize crunch online before hiring them

"We want to be known for that"

I've been trying to read Dungeon Crawler Carl but I only read actual books rather than a Kindle, and I can't find an actual shop stocking it (not even Vinted, where all the copies are in french?) so if anyone is looking to move their copy on...

I've been watching Lioness week by week because I like men with beards charging around wtih assault rifles, but goddamn if Season 3 isn't the most jingoistic thing i've ever seen. I've audibly said "oh. Wow." several times in each episode at the sheer AMERICA of it all.

Got more serious about what I was eating recently as I've been losing weight, but it still blows my mind when you can eat a normal sized chunk of protein and never be hungry again. I had a chicken wrap at 6pm! It's 2am and I can't sleep because I'm uncomfortably full!

Turns out the rumours of my skipping Gamescom this year were greatly exaggerated. I'll be there after all. If you're working on a cool unannounced PC game, or you're a publisher looking to talk about your upcoming slate, I'd love to catch up. Email me at Jake.Tucker@Futurenet.com.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”

That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

Hey, pitches for September's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct are open, and we're looking for cool unannounced games to unveil to the world for the first time. If you've got a game you think might be a good fit, give me an email on Jake.Tucker@Futurenet.com

Hello! Pitches for September's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct have been open since April, but as you're all excited about the PC Gaming Show last Sunday, now seems like a good time to remind people you can tell me about your unannounced games, and if they're a good fit for the show, we'll announce 'em!

Some tips:
- If you're looking for an editorial slot, the best time to get in touch with us is before you've announced: most often we're looking for something new and cool for our audience with the limited amount of editorial space that we have. Often, this means "new unannounced game."

- We'll need to see some b-roll of the game: we don't take any game editorially without seeing some footage of the game in action. Doesn't matter how early along the game is, we want to see something to see how it might look. We'll also accept a rough trailer cut, but recognise it 's very rare that people have that.

- It's better for us to know sooner rather than later: every show I get a good pitch for the show from someone 2-3 days before the show itself. We prerecord (sorry to ruin the movie magic) so it's better to let us know in advance. We're closing our editorial pitches at the end of June and even if you're secretly working on Half Life 3, we're going to struggle to fit you in editorially after that point, so it's likely to be a commercial conversation after that point.

Trying to spend less time multitasking and more time paying full attention to stuff. Part of this is watching a TV show at the end of each night to relax. Chose The Pitt. I have not relaxed.

I increasingly hide away from The Internet these days because I am a delicate man, but it means a lot that so much of you watch the PC Gaming Show and enjoy it. Tomorrow is my birthday (i'll be 37, death approaches) so will now be retreating from the internet again until I have a TV opinion to air.

I'm biased as one of the goblins they pay to write wretched little jokes to fill the spaces between the trailers, but I think the PC Gaming Show is particularly stuffed with bangers this time around

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

NO WAR WITH IRAN!
The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West.
You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together
& we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you
& your government is much bigger than the difference
between you & me.
And the difference between me
& my government is much bigger
than the difference
between me & you.
And our governments are very much the same...
—Marjane Satrapi

Have played 12 hours of Bond this week and Wolens is right, as per. It's a fantastic _Bond_ game, but the game itself is reaaaaal clunky. It's okay to be blinded by the Bond-ness of it all (it's worked for me) buit what we have here is a 7/10 360-era shooter with some cool writing / performances

Last season of The Boys was fairly underwhelming, and the finale is somehow more so. Disappointing, and I wonder how much time was wasted setting up the Voight Rising prequel series instead of actually tying off loose ends.
