The folks who organized the AHA conf might be surprised to know that Historical Game Design is a theoretically rich subfield that our colleagues have worked in for years! Here's @gamingthepast.bsky.social's new book - developed over collabs with students. But no: let's vibecode!

I was a guest on this episode of History’s Devils with @jamescrossland.bsky.social. Listen to us discuss the ways Grand Theft Auto and Rockstar have depicted the American past. Also, listen to hear our thoughts/guesses on the direction of Grand Theft Auto with GTA 6.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I'm very excited to be the guest director for my college's film series this year. The series is open to the public, so if you're in DFW, come on down! It was a joy to put this together and I took great pleasure in creating a watch list for 40,000 students. www.collin.edu/academics/au...

I saw the Odyssey last night. I really enjoyed it. I get the criticism but to fit so much of that story into that film without it feeling rushed is remarkable.

Incidentally if you like what you've been seeing here lately (the games and history/gender/sexuality/Humanities things mostly, although the cricket too if that works), I am actively job hunting.

Still recovering from last night’s Spurs loss. I’m an addict for sports writing and news, but after my team loses a big game I go cold turkey. I delete all my sports podcast downloads. I don’t open sports apps. I avoid the sports section of the newspaper. I can’t handle it.

Very happy to see the publication of my essay on video games in the new Wiley Companion to The Second World War. I've long been a fan/user of the companion series, and to have the first stab at discussing WWII video games in this volume is a real thrill. I hope other scholars/students find it useful

Miles Morales is a great Christmas game btw. If you've played it before you can blast through the main story in 8-9 hours and there's decorations and snow through the whole thing. Also it's really sweet, it's about loving and protecting your community.

I wrote a new article: it’s on the Fallout franchise, & it’s just been published in Games&Culture I’m currently trying to wrap my head around a bigger project on historical video game promotion and branding & this article is a slice (in progress) of that + it’s open access! doi.org/10.1177/1555...
