It's an honour to be part of a website I've loved for years (and a book I've read to pieces). It's a true gift to count @peterbcounter.com as a friend. Backrooms has been living in my mind. But it fights for space with the prior tenant: www.everythingisscary.com/screen/backrooms-silent-hill-dreams

BACKROOMS: The SILENT HILL Movie of My Dreams — Everything is Scary

It’s easy to carve Backrooms into its component parts and sources of inspiration: You can call it The Shining by way of House of Leaves and Portal . Your mileage may vary on how well it execute...

A lot of people are going to hold up Brunson and OG as key players who helped the Knicks beat the Spurs, but I want to shout out the real unsung hero: De'Aaron Fox

Mamdani is gonna be mayor for 20 goddamn years after this. Congrats to the Knicks. My boys will wrap this up next year after a training arc.

why you gotta be like this though

What the actual Naruto power of friendship fuck is happening The Spurs seemed almost shocked at the good fortune of their lead and then just LOST IT SO HARD IT MADE HISTORY

WHY ARE WE STILL HERE

Watching the Spurs confidently grasp defeat from deep within the jaws of victory is going to haunt me forever They whittled away a 29 POINT LEAD in a way that was quite possibly statistically impossible

it's pretty shocking that The Loathsome Dung Eater got courtside tickets but here we are

Trump at Game 3. James Dolan's existence. Celebrities everywhere and seats that cost tens of thousands. We can see why the Knicks lost the mandate of heaven. Basketball is for the people and we have Lost the Way.

Up by TWENTY SEVEN GOD DAMN POINTS AT THE HALF feels like it speaks for itself. Good effort, y'all.

Following a tragic neuralyzer accident, it appears the New York Knicks have forgotten how to throw balls into hoops.

They put a new Ring Fit Adventure in Rhythm Heaven. Untold brilliance at play.

if we’re gonna draw the line anywhere, it should probably be at monkey d luffy

As a Toronto-adjacent boy, it's complex to watch Anunoby stand in the way of my dreams like this. Proud of him. But also, he must be destroyed.

Wemby spent Sunday in the hyperbolic time chamber to unlock new abilities, and the Spurs have collectively figured out the Knicks' game. I take no joy in breaking the heart of a whole city, but it's gonna be that way.

"KNICKS IN 4" is one of the most delusional things I've ever heard, but I'm happy y'all believe it.

not like this.

THAT LAYUP FROM WEMBY

Also: I am ready for The Knicks to realize that the Power of God and Anime isn't going to save them, and the dream is about to end. GO SPURS, MY PERFECT BOYS

The only FF7 News being TIFA IN STREET FIGHTER 6 would be, by a wide margin, the funniest possible thing that could happen here. Please. Do it for the comedy.

Oh, good! I'm glad we can all enjoy this game based on FABLES, a series that is incredibly chill and easy to discuss and enjoy in 2026. Wait, why are you Googling "FABLES AUTHOR CONTROVERSY" no stop please just enjoy the furry detective #SummerGameFest

In the 18 minutes since I wrote this, they added Wiz Khalifa to Hitman 3

IOI remains committed to the most specific celebrity stunt-casting schemes in history, and I will never hate them for this. (Also, since I have yet to finish/buy a $100 game that came out TWO WEEKS AGO, I am unable to be appropriately shocked that Bawma Will Return.) #SummerGameFest

This is like the polar opposite of when fans asked for the amazing song in the Stranger Than Heaven trailer, and the developers responded by waiting a month and resurrecting Tupac instead. (We still don't have the song.)

Remedy Entertainment@remedygames.com · 2mo ago

The song in the Paranatural Manhattan trailer is called Manalan Mailla and it's by Vilma Jää! Should be live everywhere you listen to good music in about 90 minutes ;) #CONTROLResonant

Witcher 2 With The Vampire (joke funnier when said out loud) #SummerGameFest

It's genuinely stunning how every new entry in the Saw franchise makes John Kramer a smaller, dumber, less interesting character! Like now he DIDN'T EVEN THINK UP THE CONCEPT OF ELABORATE TORTURE GAMES? He found it in a library book about the Siege of Maubeuge or some shit? #SummerGameFest

Great. Literally every fighting game should shamelessly rip off Street Fighter 6's approach to a story mode. A bizarre Yakuza-lite that also TEACHES YOU HOW TO PLAY A FIGHTING GAME. It took us a quarter century, but we finally understand what Shenmue was trying to show us. #SummerGameFest

I am again pitching my greatest idea to the wider internet: Let me be make a playful short-form mockumentary retelling The Boonta Eve Classic from the perspective of Podracing fans. Imagine if Lewis Hamilton got beaten by a 10yo child driving a car they BUILT. That's Sebulba v. Anakin.
