Newsletter: We are in the era of the Business Idiot, where middle management has seized power, breeding out true meritocracy and value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence. This piece ties together everything I've ever written. www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...

Hey @callofduty.com found a couple of Nazis in Black Ops 6 who should be banned. Thx

"At another point in my life, I likely would've laughed at this leap of logic. But in 2025, it's not unbelievable – it's reality," writes @wesleyleblanc.bsky.social Opinion: Indiana Jones and The Great Circle's best side quest is about a Nazi grifter. www.gameinformer.com/opinions/202...

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

Eternal Wario Hockey is an unlockable air hockey game in WarioWare: Twisted in which Wario never loses. If the player has enough skill and patience to get 500 points, the game will forcibly try to make the player lose by elongating Wario's arms indefinitely.

After 8 years at Vox Media/SB Nation/Secret Base, I have been laid off. Thank you guys for supporting me throughout the years and I hope you join me for whatever is next. Secret Base will continue to make great things, I honored to be a part of it.

I wrote about the biggest rap performance of all time, Kendrick’s positioning of anti-Drake-ness as part of a larger pro-Blackness and justice for Serena Williams andscape.com/features/gen...

I think at some point... let's say the first big dot com boom... Super Bowl ads went from big brands reminding you they exist with a clever twist to fledgling brands desperately trying to stunt their way into your hearts. And that desperation always shows through. Every ad break is a flop sweat.

Proof-of-concept cels for the Takahata/Miyazaki series Pippi Longstocking (unreleased) These mock-ups reveal how the Pippi anime might have looked -- if it hadn't been canceled in the early '70s

This could actually work!

Challengers not receiving a single Oscar nomination, including for BEST SCORE, is actually offensive. Cool that The Substance is up for Best Picture, though!

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Leaving this to the void (and my 10 followers). Here's my write-up for my favorite movies of 2024: wp.me/paO9Ft-4N

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

This deep dive on Netflix purposely turning movies into barely distinguishable forgettable slop is so insightful, researched & brutally hilarious. A must read if you want to really know what’s happening to the business AND culture of movies.

“party city’s going out of business” would be a good line right before you kicked someone in the nuts

Lol at the PlayStation Wrapup not having the box art for Concord

Perhaps the best possible way to describe Among Us

This.

my first new episode of pretty good in seven years, now free to watch for everybody: THE HISTORY OF SLIPPING ON BANANA PEELS

Saw Black Christmas on the big screen then went home and threw Tales from the Crypt on the CRT.
