the defining games story of the last decade is when the dead cells team got a bunch of positive press for being a workers co-op but then the game was a huge hit and so they made a private company for all the new employees to scale up into while the “co-op” remained about ten people large lol

Why are there so many Trans people who are musicians? Because the arts are one of the few options available to us to achieve any sort of class mobility, the others being sex work and Raytheon.

The new Wolverine game is in the same category as Starfield for me in that the most interesting thing to analyze about them is figuring out what exactly they did to break the magic stranglehold their respective lineage of games had on mainstream audiences, despite checking most of the same boxes

Funny Game Journalism story: Back when I was covering events, I got to try an early build of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The demo had the watermelons you could cut, tactically starting on that level because they wanted journos to be wowed by the slicing/physics. Unfortunately, I was there...

Contrary to popular belief, the hallway in Hyrule Castle in ‘Ocarina of Time’ doesn’t contain paintings of Mario characters. Due to the nature of the early internet, rumors were harder to verify, leading to a misconception believed until this day.

Nominate and vote for the strip mahjong game for best art direction and best VR game at The Game Awards, you cowards. Make Geoff say "Super Real Mahjong" live on camera and test his resolve to be The Games Avatar. You clapped when Naughty Dog did it for five seconds and Illumination is 1/50 the size

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

In researching which games were popular in Internet Cafés around the world, I came across 抗日:血战上海滩 , a 2003 rail-shooter where you defend Shanghai in 1937 against the Japanese invasion. Quite politically-charged, and they made the game free in 2005 to protest Japan's push into UN's Security Council

I’m still trying to chase that emotional high of seeing a title screen as none has matched 2005’s Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 just blasting GONG by JAM Project with the acapella bridge leading into the final chorus before fading black into the Attract Animations.

Supper Mario Broth @mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
In Paper Mario: Color Splash, a Shy Guy is trapped in a water wheel after being bullied. The internal name for this pose is "crucify". This suggests that the original intent may have been for him to actually evoke a crucifixion before it was decided this may be in bad taste.
In Cherry Lake in Paper Mario: Color Splash, a stack of 4 Shy Guys try to bully a fifth one to join them. Not wanting to be forced, he runs away.
As he runs away, he becomes caught in a water wheel, with one of his feet being trapped in it. It drags him through the water, making him soggy.
Internally, this pose for the Soggy Guy is called "crucify".
Looking at the way his foot is caught in the wheel, it does seem like there is nothing to actually get caught on and the sprite may have originally been drawn for something else.
It is possible that originally he was caught on two crossed planks or something similarly evocative before it was decided this may be in poor taste.
Artist's conception of a possible crucifixion.

sorry in advance, but a couple years after I got back into comics, John Byrne got on his forum to explain that "word balloons" are correct and only fools call them "word bubbles." You will never guess which (n-)word he used as a main point of comparison for this incredibly low-stakes conversation!

Pro tip! If you're thinking of getting a Nintendo Color TV Game 6 or 15 because newer game systems are so expensive, make sure you get the variant with the "V" at the end of the serial number, not the "S". Otherwise you won't have true potentiometer controls! nicole.express/2023/not-ano...
Color TV Game 15 rear, showing CTG-15S as the serial number. Avoid this one!
