ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes

@jasonfanelli.com Jason, just warning you right now: if you dress up to stream Shrek 2 Remastered, the Blight Boys might drag you into a Blight Club Shrek game. I'm not going to put it past Dan to see an opportunity to spread the Blight and allow him to hold off longer on his next BC game.

Tasha from Ace Combat 8

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is GOTY 2026. Hortus Regis Alti

Absolute goof energy

It's hard for me to express how wonderful it feels that Ace Combat 8 is getting such great reviews. More people need to experience this franchise.

Reminder that they said they'd be cutting 1600 more jobs after June happened, meaning that more is to come than this. Fuck Microsoft.

Just like Mama used to make

Y'all, go see Coyote Vs. Acme. It's hilarious.

LADIES

We cried, we begged, we pleaded, and He answered our faithful prayers at last:

GOOF LEVELS ARE OFF THE CHART TONIGHT

God damn, I love how Asobo builds tension in their Plague Tale games. The right musical chord, the right vista, the mysterious thing that you are absolutely certain is more than it appears. Entering a room with just the faintest hints that the Macula has had influence here. Fuckin love this series.

GINGER CAT APPRECIATION DAY YOU SAY?!

Finally. Nearly 1 year to the day I ordered it.

To honor Tim Curry's memory, we are making Brütal Legend FREE on Itch.io, for 666 minutes: itch.io/s/199277/the...

I have questions. For example, was Rebellion making an Aliens game and lost the license? Or was this a bid to make an Aliens FPS game and Sega said 'no' but Rebellion was in too deep to pull out and only slightly pivoted? Or is this related to the completely-disconnected board game?

It may mean little, it's likely a microscopic blip on Sony's radar, and they'll never address it. But I'm going to do it anyway and you should too. Fuck Sony. You want a digital-only future? Then have us OWN our games, not 'rent licenses'.

Work days like today have taught me that AI will never, ever be able to replace a human in basically anything. We're training it on human data, modern and legacy, but the AI is using modern parameters to define legacy data. Case in point, crawling webpages that lack good SEO and returning 80% junk.

National Black Cat Appreciation Day?!

And now, a lesson on CEO-ing from Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive:

Absolutely worth it for the price, great game.

I swear, she's days away from having her own gravitational pull.

So we found out this morning that everyone - myself included - from Restart's editorial staff has been let go. After like six layoffs in six years, that gif is my unfortunate reaction. Looking! For! Opportunities! I guess I'm open for freelance for a while!

I'm gonna be honest I would delay GTA6 another year if it meant I could play Ace Combat 8 right now

Seems to me that they're going to release this with zero previews, zero hands on impressions, zero early reviews. You'll buy it without the ability to make an informed decision in advance which fucking sucks.

Nice LEGO Assault Gunboat by thebrickshipyard. For the building instructions go to rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-169... #xwing #tiefighter #starwars #lucasarts #lucasfilmgames #pcgaming #retrogaming #retrogames #retrogamer #dosgaming #dosgames

Damn that’s cool what happened to the guy who was running their old program www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/...

This is very cool. But also fuck Microsoft right now. Call me when Lost Odyssey shows up.

She was basically the heart of those two movies. Terrible news.

You can now play the entirety of Star Trek: Borg and Star Trek: Klingon in your browser borgremastered.com

Devastated for my former GameSpot colleagues who deserve much, much better than Fandom’s (and Red Ventures’ and CBS Interactive’s) poor leadership and short-sightedness.

Brain fart

Xbox gutted id. id Software effectively doesn't exist anymore, going from 185 employees down to 49. They just released a big expansion to Doom: The Dark Ages. Microsoft gutted one of the most important and historic development houses of all time. Think about that. Fuck Xbox.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

I’m so sorry for everyone at id Software affected by these layoffs. I know what it feels like to leave id while id goes on. It’s a strange and painful thing to step away from a place that holds so much of your work, friendships and history. 1/5

The game industry is so fucking back

Satya Nadella could not take a salary for a year and save over half the jobs that are being laid off today. If you make more than $1 million a year, you're set for life. No one should be making 7+ digit figures and laying people off.

Studios in the Bethesda organization like id Software (Doom) and ZeniMax Online Studios (Elder Scrolls Online) are not shutting down but are cutting a significant number of staff this morning, per sources.
