Catching up with your recent episodes. I honestly can't see me buying Mewgenics because I don't think I'd enjoy the gameplay style but this was such a great exploration of game dev as deliberate art. Haven't heard something as emotional as that during a video game podcast... Ever, really.

That Shadow of the Colossus remake is one of the best things on PS4 (yeah I know it was on PS2 but still). What's the point in buying these studios if you're just going to shut them all down

Edmund McMillen Wants You to Ask the Uncomfortable Questions
A frank conversation about Mewgenics, troubled childhoods, and anxious parenthood
I asked Mewgenics' creator, Edmund McMillen, about all the touchy topics bubbling up in the game's discourse.
Why that title?
How has he changed since his early days of making provocative browser games like Dead Baby Dressup?
Why does he use real birth defects and disorders in his games?

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

Sort of wonder what the disappointment might have been like when this came out to receive the Saturn version and not have the Prodigy and Chemical Brothers on the soundtrack.

David Lynch sitting in a naturally lit room and wearing sunglasses: “I’m wearing dark glasses today, because I’m seeing the future and the future is looking very bright.”
David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

Reminder that video game journalism cannot exist without functioning newsrooms that have the capacity to mentor and train new talent and the bandwidth to pursue long-form investigative pieces and break news—all while paying writers a living wage.
