We've arrived at a roadblock of sorts

Am now verified as Connor Makar, which means it's time to be somewhat professional on here. Sorry

Uhhhhhh... MindsEye on Steam are you okay? WHAT IN THE WORLD.

🎉 Here goes nothing! 🎉 50 Indie Games That Changed the World. ... is the name of a book I wrote in collab with @bitmapbooks.com It's probably the hardest, most ambitious thing I've ever done - and I'd love for as many folk as possible to check it out. Out Aug 20. Get hyped!

Looks great!

ME news: I'm now Editor-at-Large for Eurogamer. VG247 is moving to primarily focus on news & guides, so I'm shifting most of my features work to a new (but similar) role on its sibling. I'm still a part-timer & will continue to split my time between running @rpgsite.net & editorially musing on EG.

Starting last Monday, I am now a Staff Writer / Reporter at Eurogamer! The team has been incredibly lovely and welcoming, and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. Expect plenty of news, interviews, and reports from me in the coming months.

Live from Summer Game Fest, VGC's Off-Topic Podcast is out now. Join @andyrobinson.bsky.social, @scully1888.bsky.social , @jordanmiddler.bsky.social and @apzonerunner.com for an earnest conversation about flying and Robocop. www.patreon.com/posts/130889...

Arc System Works working on a Marvel game... Damn it's a good day.

it's that time again: i'm looking for work! my current main freelance gig at RPS is unfortunately likely coming to an end soon, so if anyone needs an on the ball news writer, you can count on me as always, open to PR roles and other forms of work too (and reposts appreciated as well)

Hotels booked for Evo. Will be a very exciting year!

Why does NenXImpact put the creepy shit right in the tutorial lmao what the fuck are you doing

Seeing more people pick up Nightreign and love what it's doing and I'm like - yeah I told you so motherfuckers

Solo players now have it easier. Boooooo

Perhaps the best interview I've ever had a privilege to be a part of, and it just so happens to be about a delightful game and the experiences of its creator. Read this interview! Play Quantum Witch! Tell all your friends about it! It's special!

My interview with @duneawakening.com 's Creative Director Joel about the end game following the stream that took place today. The Landsraad system, which this interview focuses on, reminds me of the opening of Ahn'QIraj in Classic WoW, which should excited you!

Nightreign isn't that hard don't worry. Way easier than Shadow of the Erdtree

Elden Ring Nightreign will immeidiately turn a lot of Souls fans off, but the greatest praise I can give it (aside from my review) is this. Since I was like 13 hated sorcerer / incantations in Souls Like and this game made me take the blue pill (it's full of FP).

My review

It's Dragon Quest Day! To celebrate, @edgarallanbro.bsky.social and @hokutolucas.bsky.social had a chat about their experience playing Dragon Quest I & II HD Remake at PAX East. "We represent the cross-section of the ideal audience Square Enix is looking for, right?" Read it here:

Wait ITV has started uploading full episodes of Sharpe onto YouTube we're so back

Can someone point to one Crypto / NFT game that has actually been good and not just stolen money? It's been what like four years since it got "popular"

Nearly 100 new VGC Patreon members signed up this month, gaining ad-free news, exclusive podcasts, newsletters, and behind-the-scenes videos. Most importantly, they helped support our work as an independent in a tough media climate. Please consider supporting: www.patreon.com/VideoGamesCh...

You know it's going well they these schmucks can't actually sell the product on its own merits, and have to shoehorn it into all its other stuff.

Josh West must be protected at all costs

Delighted to have joined the IGN team this week as the site's News Editor, working alongside Wes, Reb and the rest of their brilliant crew! Looking forward to more reporting, and even more terrible puns.

Oh they are just fucked then

Well the Marathon stream is over and it seems like they're considering making a lot of substantial gameplay changes with only four months until launch!

Like I'm sorry but you shouldn't have guys on Discord using a Wrath of the Lich king mic for this incredibly important community-facing live stream

Like this is crazy
