I'm on @boardgamegeek.com's GameNight! show -- actually for four episodes, but here's the first one! Watch us play Seashells by @kidstablebg.bsky.social.
BoardGameGeek@boardgamegeek.com · 6d agoTonight on GameNight! @chilibeannikki, @goinganalogshow.bsky.social, Dave & @heccubus.bsky.social teach & play "Seashells" designed by Bruno Faidutti and published by @kidstablebg.bsky.social.

OMG OMG OMG news.ubisoft.com/en-us/articl... I've liked what I've played of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era so far (closest anyone's come to HOMM3 to date). But this... I can't wait!
Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake: Return to Erathia in 2027
Remaining faithful to everything that made the original game so beloved, the remake will feature updated visuals and audio for current-gen consoles, a cohesive narrative, and improved UGC features.

Game devs: check out the announcement below! Media: send any inquiries my way. I've been consulting with @tadhanaio.bsky.social because this toolkit just fixes so many old problems with game publishing. Excited at what we're doing and where it's going!
Tadhana@tadhanaio.bsky.social · last mo.We're out of beta and have officially launched! Tadhana simplifies and streamlines release management (by up to 90%!), so you can focus on the fun part: getting your game in the hands of the players. To learn more or to book a demo, visit tadhana.io. And DM us if you'd like to meet up at Gamescom!
We cover all things Gen Con! News, games...even this middle-aged woman still living out her high-school glory days who called us "nerds" at the airport. 😂
Going Analog@goinganalogshow.bsky.social · last mo.Gen Con 2026 was a (ahem) whirlwind of a show! Come listen to us yap about that near disaster, the noteworthy news, and of course...all the games. So many games.... www.goinganalogshow.com/article/332/... #boardgames
Dark Reign, along with Quake II and Duke Nukem 3D, were probably the three PC games that the EGM (console) crew got most addicted to and would play all the time with each other.
Joe Rybicki@joerybicki.com · last mo.Oh god yes. I don’t know why I bounced or at least slid off almost every other RTS at the time but Dark Reign was just on another level for me. Paging @danshoehsu.bsky.social and @seejackboyer.bsky.social and Kraig and Andrew to testify to my devastating* pincer attacks *usually ineffective
I played a bunch of new card games with @chrispyha.bsky.social, and here are a few with some really interesting twists!
Going Analog@goinganalogshow.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe played (MORE) card games, found ones that have something extra in them, and made this show to tell you about 'em. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/331/... (Thx to our sponsor. Check out the 4-game MILLRAT Pack! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mil...)
I'm quite proud of this hiding spot I painted for myself. The udders (which aren't on the other cows) gave it away but still, this is damn near a masterpiece. (game: Meccha Chameleon)
Our correspondent @hensten.bsky.social got back from UKGE and has a lot of stuff to say about the big show across the pond (from us). www.goinganalogshow.com/article/329/... #boardgames
I haven’t played all their older games, but I’m putting Housemarque up there amongst my favorite video game devs. Dead Nation (at the time), Super Stardust, Resogun, Alienation, Nex Machina, Returnal, and now Saros … all 🔥
I saw Backrooms a week ago … couldn’t get it out of my head. So I watched it again today. That should help! youtu.be/0HjdiohVOik?...

Tim was nice enough to plan a board game day at Double Fine around our visit to town, and we took advantage by putting him on the Going Analog Show. But now we're spoiled by their nice studio setup!
Going Analog@goinganalogshow.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe stopped by the @doublefine.com offices to record this show with @timoflegend.bsky.social, who explains why he thinks making board games is more difficult than making video games. 🤯 www.goinganalogshow.com/article/328/...
I'll be at GamesBeat Summit (today and tomorrow) as one of the emcees. If you see me, say hi! gamesbeat.com/gamesbeat-su...
GamesBeat Summit 2026 Agenda: Navigating to the future and winning the attention war (updated)
We are thrilled to share our (mostly) full agenda for GamesBeat Summit 2026, taking place from May 18-19 at the Marina del Rey Marriott in Los Angeles.

Played a ton of… Light/party games: www.goinganalogshow.com/article/323/... Heavy games: www.goinganalogshow.com/article/322/... Come watch/listen to us talk about them! #boardgames
I wrote some words! Check out “Video Games in 100 Objects,” a new hardcover book I contributed to alongside some talented industry veterans (like @deantak.bsky.social @jwhdavison.bsky.social). More info: insighteditions.com/products/vid... Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/4tGiLKG
LOL... @ruelgaviola.com connected me to this young guy who dreams of being a video game journalist. Gave him some pointers/insight. He spent half the time raving about @gameinformer.com (my former #1 competitor). Never heard of EGM. Thought it was so cool that I knew @andymcattack.bsky.social. 😀
I have typical “they did this better in the book” comments but overall, the Project Hail Mary film was great. Go see it in a theater! 👎🏼👎🏼
The judging committee's been busy discussing the 2025-2026 American Tabletop Awards and going through more nominees than ever before. The things we are discussing lately... 🧵
This blew James’ (@druidcitygames.bsky.social) mind when he saw this at our home, so I figured I’d share in case it’s a useful PSA. If you have this top rack in your dishwasher….
Amazing how an entire Kotaku article spawned out of a Bluesky (or was it X?) conversation. Kudos for mentioning my upcoming Uematsu biography though! @danshoehsu.bsky.social kotaku.com/final-fantas...
The Story Behind How EGM Spawned That Iconic Final Fantasy Art
In 2001 pharmacy shelves were greeted with a gorgeous Amano cover. That wasn’t necessarily the plan.
kotaku.com
So the original plan was for this cover below to go to subscribers and for the Amano cover (see reposted thread) to go to 25% of newsstands. I wanted it to be very exclusive and rare. And I thought the non-Amano cover would be more mainstream anyways. 🧵1/
Chris Baker@cbake.bsky.social · 7mo agoI never heard the $10K part! All the more remarkable it happened because it only went to subscribers, right? Everyone at the newsstand got this, as I recall.
Now that I understand how scoring works in curling, I think I’m into…curling.
After watching Fallout season 2, @chrispyha.bsky.social taken to calling me cereals as nicknames (à la “My little Sugar Bomb”). My faves so far: “My little….” (singular versions of these)
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is so good now. It’s evolved a lot since its early days, and I thought it was excellent back then, too. I’m very into it.
More great 2-player (and other game) recommendations from @chrispyha.bsky.social, @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social, and myself!
Going Analog@goinganalogshow.bsky.social · 8mo agoWe're back with part 2 of our 2-player special, with guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social! Now you have too many 2P recommendations from all of us. You're welcome. www.goinganalogshow.com/article/314/...
We (@grantsgamerecs.bsky.social @chrispyha.bsky.social) played a ton of new 2P board games and picked out the best for ya.
Going Analog@goinganalogshow.bsky.social · 9mo agoWe decided it was the year of the 2-player game! So many great ones came out that we couldn't cover them in one episode (and not without the help of special guest @grantsgamerecs.bsky.social).
