Whatever happened to #ViewtifulJoe? Join us for a new episode of Millennium Edition, where @seandouglass.bsky.social and guest @djstormageddon.com look back on the series and wonder if Hideki Kamiya's new studio might someday make a Viewtiful Joe 3. www.soundstone.network/millennium-e...
LET'S GET IT ON
Alt: Viewtiful Joe, a red-clad superhero, slightly Power Rangers or Kamen Rider-inspired and with a big gray V on his red helmet, posing dramatically as a visor and mask activates from his helmet and covers his face. Joe has a comical but stylish design and a disproportionally large head.

@charliebrigden.bsky.social Hey, I wanted to connect about my next Pixels and Polygons Quarterly issue, but our previous messages are gone. Is there a way we can DM or email?
I got some stuff from @demodisc.zone in the mail while I was out on vacation at SDCC. Check out the new magazine, JAMPACK’d! I also got a nice little blurb inside the first issue from Adam (he contributed an entry for my last @pixelsandpolygons.net 32 Bit Library book!)
Huge shoutout to @pixelsandpolygons.net for having me on the show!! Naturally, we spoke a lot about PlayStation.

Feels unreal to see one of my indie game reviews in print 😭 thank you @pixelsandpolygons.net and @darrenhupke.bsky.social for all of the work you put into this! I am honored to be featured.
Made an edgy 90s ad for my edgy 90s game. Pretty stoked that I got it in print in a real zine! I wanted to do a real photoshoot, not just use PS. Took a lot of shots. The 7ft ChainStaff is foam, I made it for MAGFest. New undies are real! Stain is the only thing in PS. Love @pixelsandpolygons.net!
I saw Splatoon Raiders on sale before street date and took it as a sign to buy it. I didn’t get to play much so far, but it’s giving Monster Hunter vibes.
Has anyone spotted the Chain Staff ad in the latest issue of Pixels and Polygons Quarterly? How legit of a magazine have I become with real ads for real video games? Collab points to @mommysbestgames.bsky.social!
Even on vacation, I still play. The vacation game of choice turned out to be an unexpected one. pixelsandpolygons.beehiiv.com/p/timestamp-...

It's here! The issue of @pixelsandpolygons.net that I wrote for has arrived. I cannot thank @darrenhupke.bsky.social enough for letting me contribute a piece to this. It's surreal seeing my name in print and I'm so happy I got to be a part of this issue.
Excited to be back at the Portland Retro Game Expo this year! We'll have a Boss Fight table on the expo floor, and we'll do a publishing panel with @retrogamebooks.com & @pixelsandpolygons.net. Oct 9-11: www.retrogamingexpo.com

I own and run VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas mostly by myself for over 24 years, and it's amassed over 50,000 maps for over 3500 video games across almost 60 different platforms. Yet, I always feel like many gamers don't even know what it is. Do you use VGMaps?
Episode 124: PARAGRAPHS w/ @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social Listen is as two strangers stop getting polite, and start getting real... about video game books. Ashley and I chat about the upcoming VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works! Listen on soundstone.network or find links at the start of the thread! ⬆️
