Heeeeyyyyyy, we want some inquiries! (for Podtoid)

To the tune of that 2 Live Crew song It has been far too long since we recorded an episode of Podtoid (although, some would say it hasn’t been long enough). We’re fixing that today. We’ve all convened in a central location (Topeka, Kansas) to make fake-radio magic. What’s on our agenda? Steven will probably talk about fascism (and we’ll conveniently edit it out). Darren will probably talk aboutBattleborn(and we’ll conveniently edit it out)....

I think videogames made me hate funhouses

A lot of rodents I don’t like funhouses, although, I suppose I haven’t given them a fair shake. I’ve never been inside one, but I’m pretty certain that makes no difference. You see, videogames trained me at a very young age to hate funhouses. I’m sure that wasn’t the intention, but the damage was done as I always found two examples particularly unsettling. The first of the two games is the latter chronologically, but had the most impact....

Incognita is now called Invisible, Inc.

I just got that… Klei’s strategy espionage titleIncognitahas been on my radar for a while and now the game has been re-christened asInvisible, Inc. I loved its previous gameMark of the Ninja, (Hey,Don’t Starveis good too) and stealth games in general so I’m really keen to get some hands-on time. From the trailer above it looks to me like a cross betweenGunpoint,Shadowrun Returns, andFrozen Synapsebut of course it’s the highly stylized art that my eyes are drawn to....

It’s Paper Mario’s 25th anniversary today, so what are your fondest memories from the series?

It is Jun 25, 2025, marking 25 years since the originalPaper Mariogame was released on Nintendo 64, which would go on to become one of the biggest Nintendo spinoff IPs and some of the company’s most beloved titles.

Just in time! Steam’s Halloween sale has started

October 28 to November 1 I typically like to consume all manner of horror media throughout the month of October. The weather is changing and if I’m going to stay inside, I might as well freak myself out with spooky scary things. It just feelsright. But this year, there hasn’t been a major new horror game (that I’ve latched onto, anyway) in time for Halloween aside from maybeUntil Dawn: Rush of Blood....

Limited edition Space Invaders scarf is both geek and chic

I see a lot of gamer apparel and such in my travels over the wide world of internets, but most of the wares have that detail that makes them a bit too dorky or tend to overstate the obvious, such as “I Saved the Princess!” I know, guy. So did I. In fact, we all did. Anyway, overly cliched garments aside, I actually wanted this scarf when I saw it, despite the fact I live in a tropical climate....

Mary-Kate and Ashley: Winner’s Circle is a questionable cut of horse meat

Delicious I don’t know much about horses. I know that they have four legs and taste amazing. That’s about it. I never had a horse-obsessed phase when I was growing up. That’s probably because I played video games, where they’re mainly depicted as cars that run on oats. I also never had an interest in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, probably also because of video games. They’re also only a year older than me, and anyone who is in the same age group that I am is a threat and not a hero....
