YO, COME GET IT
Strong, sad suspicion it’s just going to be the kickoff of the USA 250 celebration or some shit
About to spend 90 minutes in first grade orientation with this little goober so I fully expect Internet-shattering news to hit while I’m away. For context, I was at a playroom for her birthday when Steve from Minecraft was confirmed for Smash Bros, and that broke Twitter. There is precedent here 😂
HI! Two new cards from #MTGxSpiderMan for your eyeballs over on @gamespot.com, and these really were like a Sherlock Holmes novel: A Study In Scarlet (Spider-Man). www.gamespot.com/articles/her...
BREAKING: Paramount strikes deal with Activision to bring Call of Duty to the big screen. Details here, from me, @gamespot.com: www.gamespot.com/articles/a-c...
If you like spiders, men, Magic: The Gathering, or the upcoming combination of all of those things, you may want to keep your eyes on this feed in about an hour's time. #MTGxSpiderMan
The card vs the reaction
Where is this delightful thing
First of two fantasy drafts done. Pretty happy with how this turned out, considering I was pick 7 of 14. Auction draft tonight, let’s get silly.
Man, Gio is so good at this journalism thing.
Oh this is NEW new
Hopefully I’ll have Eggman done by then!
YEAAAAAAAAAAH we gonna jam some gaaaaaames
Come to MagicCon in Atlanta!
This rules
Welcome to the party!
LSU got hosed, and I hate having to side with Brian Kelly
Amy worked on the advertising side of Game Informer for 18 years starting in 2002. We were incredibly saddened to hear of her sudden passing and are wishing the best for her family. www.gofundme.com/f/help-ava-c...
Wait! They did win. What the heck
ESPN app out here making me think Temple might be viable as a college program again, stupid glitch bullshit.
Hi
Other than PTI, I couldn’t tell ya the last time I watched original ESPN programming, right there with ya.
They don’t need to do the mascot head thing with that living mascot Pat McAfee at the desk every week. To answer your question, though, I don’t actually know.
Man, I will miss Lee Corso.
This is my sister’s half Italian Greyhound, half Chihuahua. His name is Brisket. Cute dog aside, just trying to wrap my head around the, uh, “logistics of creation” let’s say, has been very entertaining this morning.

Here’s everything revealed at today’s #MTGxSpiderMan panel at #PAXWest! Spellslinging and webslinging combined! www.gamespot.com/gallery/magi...
And now the crushing reality that many of the cool cards shown today—the double-faced Comic cards like Venom, the Spideys in different suits—are Collector Booster only, and probably out of price range for many of those who want them. That’s…a bummer, honestly.
I wrote this too! All of the MTG coverage!

Laughed out loud when I saw this.
This bonus sheet RULES
“Words and pictures by MO WILLEMS!”
Indeed, steer clear of Standard for now. At least until Vivi gets the hammer.
Me: “Hey, how’s the set looking?” @lotrlore.bsky.social: “I have a new Grixis commander, and his name is Norman Osborn.” Yup.
Hey, wanna generate stupid amounts of red mana with Vivi? Now you won’t lose it between phases, AND you’ll gain a red mana while pinging an opponent! Just what that little mage jerk needs!
This panel kicks off in 30 minutes! And in 90 minutes, maybe check out @gamespot.com for coverage!
Listen, I know I’ve mentioned this event to you a few times, but MagicCon in Atlanta is throwing a MTG-themed karaoke night. I’m just saying.
When the Battlefield 6 beta ended, I saw some folks say that they liked the lack of outside IPs, but let's be honest: It won't stay that way. However, there are ways to insert outside IP and keep the military sim vibe intact. For @gamespot.com, I explore it a bit. www.gamespot.com/articles/enj...
Just wait until you meet Spooky Dream College Professor
This is a good point! An option to turn off other folks’ skins might be an interesting workaround, though I don’t know if EA or Acti would turn it off. Seeing another player in a skin is, after all, its own form of advertising,
I saw a report that 75% of active X users were bots anyway, so there’s a good chance you were actually arguing with the equivalent of a brick wall. Good riddance, I say. Happy for you that you made the change!
Did you see the article by @marioprime.bsky.social where he made this recipe? www.polygon.com/mafia-old-co...
Extra Stupid!
Oh he’s the Disney Don for our family. Whenever a big family trip is discussed, he gets out a manila folder and starts pricing. By the time we leave, that same folder is stretched to capacity 😂
Mom: “Your dad used to not eat Mexican food, but he loves this place. Do you know why?” Me: “Why?” Dad: “It reminds me of Epcot.”

Someone connect me to Brad Ingelsby, I want to be in his next Delco-set project. I live here, have lived here my whole life, and I can act. Doesn't need to be anything big, just want to be a part of it.
It will always astound me how Pokemon can get away with releasing elaborate trailers for *one* transformation for *one* of its 1000+ species. They really produced a whole damn pro wrestling match simply for the debut of Poké Fenix over here.
Hey @andyrobinson.bsky.social, you are @maxdood.bsky.social approved! (Skip to 19:20 if the video doesn’t do it automatically) youtu.be/L9wcZ_C4WL0&...
Hell yeah
Still thinking about how I took out an entire pod with these two beauties last night
Oh wow…back to the theory drawing board!
Wait, did they confirm it’s not Lisa?!
Sorry to miss it, but i hope everyone plays this game!
We're supposed to go to the kids' school tonight for a back-to-school function. Instead of enjoying it, I'll now be looking over my shoulder the whole time. I know this isn't about me, but it's hard to not internalize or wonder "what if" when my kids are so similar in age. Fuck.
8- and 10-years-old. Sitting in a church pew during mass before the first day of school. Gone. When the fuck are we going to come to our senses?
This fucking world, man.
Oh jeez, I’m sorry I missed it! That’s beautiful!
Oh my goodness. This is incredible. Where did you get this?
Oof in the “potentially dire straits for Ubisoft” sense, yes.
Next, someone buy Child Of Light. That game needs a re-release too. That said…oof for Ubisoft. Oof oof oof.
Whoopsie doodle! www.gamespot.com/articles/rio...
Hey. Let people enjoy an engagement. It's fun and folks are allowed to have a little joy at two people's happiness today. If it's not your thing, find joy somewhere else instead of being a joyless cynic.
Big news, friends! Next week we’re officially announcing our studio and revealing our very first game!!! We’ve been pouring our hearts into: the world’s first single-player roguelike fighting game!
LET ITSUNO DO IT. LET. THE MAN. DO IT,
LUMINES ARISE DEMO OUT NOW GO GO GO www.gamespot.com/articles/lum...
@officialtinsley.bsky.social inquiring minds have to know; is there a flap?
Is there a flap? There has to be a flap.
Also hovering for a response 😂
Between that and Power Rangers, feels like Epic sensed I was a lapsed player and targeted me specifically.
Great show pal!

Would just like to remind folks that I am a seasoned freelance game critic who would be happy to tackle this absolute monstrosity of a month for your site. DMs open, email in bio, yadda yadda yadda.
Check out the first post on @mtgsalvation.bsky.social by @mylesobenza.bsky.social! Welcome to the team, dude
I think it’ll be sooner, like the quarterly Indie World that tends to hit in November
First time we ever stayed up here vs. today. Four years to the day between these two pics. Beautiful scenes.
My eMachine used to load up Compuserve so good on this desk
Pretty cool stepping out the back door to this view. Love these mountain getaways.
*hits his finisher* “MANA DRAIN! HE HIT THE MANA DRAIN! 1, 2, 3!! PROF WINS! PROF WINS!” @tolariancommunitycollege.com
At least that email would make sense! Faux me is apparently named Simon!
Was just tipped off that someone is requesting game codes from a phony email account using my picture. Which…wow.
What the heck?!
Earlier this week, I realized that two years ago today, 8/21/2023, was my first-ever appearance on @giantbomb.bsky.social Game Mess Mornings with @grubb.wtf. Wish I’d have thought of it during yesterday’s episode, but I was too busy yelling about Roblox. Always grateful for the opportunities!

Jim Thorpe is home to a store called The Silly Goose, which my mother tells me is TikTok-famous (what a sentence that is). We went inside, and it had some stuff that made me laugh.
What do I have to do to get Nightdive to take a look at the old Cyberflix stuff? Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time deserves to sail again!
Hey PR friends - if you're pitching our website, please, please, please make sure you pitch me, even if you're also reaching out to another one of our writers. Also, please make sure the writer you're pitching is actually still writing for us.
My friend @heisenron.bsky.social pointed this out in a group chat, and now you all get to laugh at it too
In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out
