I had the great pleasure of working on this showcase again. There are some real killers in the lineup this time. Worth a watch!

I haven’t really played games for like a year or more but @skatestory.com releasing tomorrow with that @bloodcultures.bsky.social soundtrack… ooof. I’m downloading drivers and software updates. Keeps bringing me back.

It’s weird that my mayor lives in NYC while I live in Los Angeles, but life is weird like that sometimes.

More game coverage should be like the golden era of 1UP.

If anybody wants to fund a prestige television show that starts with a bunch of knuckleheads making gaming magazines and websites and ends a few seasons later with a very conservative gaming industry and a side order of fascism, I’ve got some good ideas.

Oof. Bitter sweet revisiting this... the credits roll on 1UP is the size of three or four full outlets in today's games media landscape. This a video game podcast from twenty years ago. The industry has grown considerably since then. wtf.

The 1UP Show was one of the biggest influences in my media career and inspired me to create video content. Seeing how cool their office was and the creativity that oozed from each episode, they really raised the bar. What Casey Neistat did to vlogging they did to video games media.

I have no idea if The 1UP Show is actually the foundational text to modern games media that it always will feel like to me, but, man, what a great little thing that brought videogames out of darkened living rooms and message boards and into the light.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true. I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had. I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

Also, we had a dumb idea for a sketch for @timoflegend.bsky.social‘s intro/outro. That he just ran with it and actually made it good was a sight to behold! Plus, it was very much to do all the “bad” graphics for it. Always wanted to try my hand at a local cable TV commercial 🤣

Listen to Song of the Earth by David Longstreth, played by Dirty Projectors and Stargaze. It reminds me of Smile, but “Pandemic Pet Sounds” is more catchy so I’ll go with that. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

They fucking disappeared Hamdan Ballal. Sheer impunity, knowing the US isn't going to say shit. "As he was being treated in an ambulance, soldiers detained him and a second Palestinian man, the [Center for Jewish Nonviolence] said. It said his whereabouts were now unknown."

Activists say Israeli settlers beat up one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land” in the occupied West Bank, and he was then detained by the Israeli military.

Please call your senators and ask them to vote no on (and filibuster) the continuing resolution to fund the federal government. Congress has the power of the purse, not Musk. There should be written protections in it to stop him from gutting our government.

I remain convinced that an Austen adaptation or Regency era, Naughty Dog-style, AAAA videogame with interesting mechanics for courting, dancing, and conversation—no combat—would sell like crazy if marketed properly. Seems crazy that every game has to be sci-fi, fantasy, or contemporary.

What’s the modern day equivalent of having a college radio show? I want to play cool tracks and provide a little context and flavor in between songs for a super small audience.
