Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 30/09/2026There's a lot of chatter about whether or not GTA 6 would be considered for GOTY this year due to its release timing and Im fine with just giving it directly to Blood of Dawnwalker now if you're all cool with it. 390
Reposted by Mark MedinaBrian Altano @brianaltano.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Still have a few more projects going up before my last day at IGN this Friday. All of them really special to me. One of them a 44 minute long conversation with legendary artist and director @realgdt.bsky.social. Hope you all enjoy this! I'm really proud of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgCM... 1641451
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 30/09/2026While gross and really dumb, this is incredibly common. Let's not forget all of the games media people that have executives and PR on speed dial. It's pretty common. Absolutely call out the weird Xbox parasocial behavior, but keep the energy when your games media friend is eating dinner with Shuhei. 020
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 30/09/2026So Taylor Swift really just be talking over a music beat and calling it music now eh. 040
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Today is officially IGN's 30th birthday! I know things in games media are rough right now, and of course IGN hasn't been immune. But for my own personal anecdote, this is the company that changed my life. I was working at a warehouse that had zero temp control when I got the call from IGN. 1112
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Even for Windows Central, this is wild. (btw, the lede is that WoW: Forever coming to Xbox consoles exclusively would be bigger than GTA, lol) 030
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Seeing everyone do one for movies so I figured I’d jump in! 060

Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The main comments on our Minecraft Dungeons 2 review is that it's a game that shouldn't be reviewed by adults. I'm not sure that's legal, but if the law has changed, can someone let me know? My nephew (11) can use the work. 2120
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Republicans are VERY much against kids getting to eat school lunches. Wait until they find out that our taxes pay for someone to drive a bus around and pick up kids whos parents can’t drop them off at school. 160

Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You don’t want a new Halo game. You want to be 15 again. It’s the same reason Call of Duty “isn’t fun anymore”. It’s not really any different than it used to be. You’re just older now and there are a million of them. No MP FPS is gonna make you feel like a teenager again. 561771
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Finally beat Big Walk. It takes awhile when you’re trying to stick with the same group. It was EMOTIONAL 😭 020
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I know that a bunch of games had to get out of the way of GTA 6. But I can't say that what we got instead was much better. Every week comes another highly-anticipated game. And as a wiki person, I can tell you that your game is currently suffering the same fate had it released on November 19th. 062
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yesterday I saw a video that had a PS4 Slim in it, and I thought to myself "Man, I need to get one of those before they're too hard to find". I would never use it, but I very much enjoyed the look of the console. HOURS later Im playing on a game on my TV and I look down at my entertainment center. 0140

Reposted by Mark MedinaTamoor Hussain @tamoorh.com · 22/09/2026Don’t call layoffs and closures stuff like “reset” or “refresh” or “rejuvenation” or “rejigger” or “reshuffle” unless you’re trying to get clapped. 16759114
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Something tells me that Matt Booty is going to be the final layoff. He's part of the old team, and they constantly send him out to deliver the bad news about layoffs. Not only does it shield Asha from a lot of critisism, but it sets Matt up to be the final nail. 250
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I know the Xbox news seems bad, but don’t worry, these dudes are all about to explain why today’s layoffs are the greatest thing to ever happen. 3174

Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I loved Death Stranding. I have a tattoo of an odradek sensor on my forearm. So I understand that what I'm about to say probably sounds dumb. I'm not sure I jive with every single Kojima game from now on just being a "I am a fan of this person, so I will put them in my game" 130
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This is gacha game dialogue lol. I wanted to badly to like ZZZ and Genshin, but this is EVERY cutscene and convo. Just too much internal monologue-style convos of just absolute gibberish that goes on way too long. I’ve never felt more trapped than when I play a game like this. 030
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My only gripe with Grand Theft Auto 6 is that its made it where EVERY GAME is coming out right now, all on top of each other, and I can’t fucking keep up. 150
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I randomly started getting Tiktoks for this movie, so I decided to watch it last night. I miss movies like this! It's pretty short. Easy to follow. Just a good wholesome story (about capatalism I know lol). Matt, Jason, Vialo, and Ben kill it! I highly recommend! 130
Reposted by Mark MedinaRonny Barrier @ronnybarrier.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Clint is incredible. He was such a pillar of safety at live events when I felt out of my depth, and was always gracious with the thousand dumb questions I inevitably had to ask him. Immensely bummed that he’s left us. 031
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Working with Clint and being in meetings with him was tough because I never felt more out of my depth than when I was with this dude. Clint is incredibly smart and and is absolutely the best he does. He has the best voice-over of anyone in this industry. The dude is just a legend. 160

Reposted by Mark MedinaAlex Van Aken @itsvanaken.games · 15/09/2026There are people here that spend their precious time obsessing over the ways in which their peers may showcase inconsistency, needling at their imperfections with subposts instead of ever taking action themselves. Meanwhile, the other person is at least fucking trying. 1181
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Okay I beat Blood of the Dawnwalker. Yo this game is NUTS. Probably tied with Forza Horizon 6 as my GOTY so far. I wasn’t even gonna play Dawnwalker! So glad I didn’t end up skipping it. Brilliant game! 1120
Mark Medina @markmedina.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I never really know what to post on a day like today. So I’m just gonna say this: today was tough. But not nearly as tough as it is for my friends of a decade-plus who won’t be here anymore. Here’s a picture of my cat. Gonna go play Dawnwalker. 1260
