PR & Events for Video Games The ocean is my happy place.
In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
Highly recommended!! So many things had to align for great images when there was only analog photography & these books are full of them 📸 This is one of my favs because somehow all of the different planes are equally present (if that makes sense).
Wes Fenlon@wes.readonlymemo.com · last wk.Hello! Would you like to help out my dad and also own a book of film photographs that, in the words of @soniaim.bsky.social, will make you nostalgic for a time and place you didn't actually experience? 👇
This is a great walk down E3 memory lane @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social! Mind was blown at my 1st E3 when I got to play Tekken 2 (still my fav fighting game) and booths offered me booze (I wasn't 21 yet).
Video Game History Foundation@gamehistoryorg.bsky.social · 2w agoNew in our digital archive: We're taking you back to E3 like you've never experienced it.

Something a bit more personal than usual: For the last 10 years my dad has been struggling with a version of ALS, a terrible neuromuscular disease. He's kept up his spirits by making photo books chronicling his life as a photographer+traveler. I'm helping sell them now to pay for nursing care:

back at Kotaku, talking about the new audio-animatronic pirate at Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean, a very serious subject worthy of close consideration kotaku.com/disneylands-...
A Pirates Of The Caribbean Animatronic Got Updated And Fans Hate It
Response to Disneyland's new "transforming pirate" makes it seem less like a "plus" than a minus.

I’m so tired of life being reporting about layoffs in the months between my own team’s layoffs
Lmao sick, I just got laid off from GameSpot while on paid medical leave recovering from a gunshot wound.

I thought it was just me Anna! The frustration that visitors feel upon encountering less-than-ideal weather in Los Angeles feels like an implicit indictment of the city, and, by extension, me. @lamaterial.com lamaterial.com/p/la-weather...

Hi friends! I'll be stationed here today & Monday. Please say hello 👋 #sgf #playdays #granbluefantasy
The LA edition of The Mix has got to be my fav. Joel designed the Molly the Marble so thoughtfully you can even play well during an event. There are accessible features too. Alice in Wonderland Pinball stole a chunk of my time b4 we chatted about pet bunnies 🐰 #indiedev #indiegame #indiedev
If you're super behind on studying up @laist.com has an extremely user friendly voters guide! 🗳 (you don't need to vote on everything so don't let that hold you back) #ivoted #govote
Sing it @toddmartens.bsky.social! "...to shred a theme park is to discount the power of narrative art, and, quite frankly, it’s a warning sign that you are just no fun." This Disney adult highly recommends Todd's newsletter✨ link.latimes.com/view/6520701... #disneyland #themeparks

I’ll be doing a panel at the Super Cincy Expo this year! If you’re near Cincinnati, swing by the Sharonville Convention Center on May 16 to hear me (and the guys at Co-Op 64) talk about our jobs! I’m very excited! I love video games and also Cincinnati!!!
Pinball is thriving. (There's a brand new Pokemon table!) But you're far more likely to find the game in someone's basement than in your favorite local dive bar. Here's how the industry survived the '00s. And the way pinball has fundamentally changed for a different audience in 2026.
Why Pinball Moved from Bars to Basements
What’s your earliest memory of pinball?

Remember all of those times you said you would pick up an indie game if it was on sale. Now's that time. Here's a list of solid titles you can pick up for less than 5 bucks.
I happened to be in downtown SF today, so I tried stopping by the Superhuman AI office to ask about the AI “editor” based on me. Unfortunately just got a very nice office manager who said no one was in. Lots of games people in Grammarly’s pool too besides me…
