@jellyscare @SimonParkin @myperfectcnsle It’s a testament to the quality of the soundtrack that for a game that let you play literally any music you wanted, I usually chose to stick with the default
@SimonParkin @myperfectcnsle One of my gaming heroes, so I’m looking forward to this one. I used to listen to the Vib Ribbon CD on my Discman everywhere I went at the time. Nowadays this awesome vinyl gets regular spins. Think I love the music more than the game itself.
@myperfectcnsle ピングー ラップ / SEEDS of HAPPINESS -しあわせのたね-＜タワーレコード限定/完全限定生産盤＞ tower.jp/item/6331145
Been listening to this all day thanks to @myperfectcnsle
@myperfectcnsle Perfect timing, I just read the fantastic @BossFightBooks title on PaRappa by @Sholarsenic so I'll be very much looking forward to this.
WASD is beautiful. Buzzing. Fun. Warm. It's a brilliant atmosphere.
@myperfectcnsle @totalwormage I think you’ll like this episode. Worth listening to at least Sarah’s first choice. ;)
@BackPagePod Petition to throw Sam into the sea for describing Neo Turf Master as “just” a golf game.
@SimonParkin @restisents @MarinaHyde @myperfectcnsle I would say it's because games (and their experiences) are harder to share with others, unless they are already being played by others. Good luck getting a colleague to play Papers, Please or Outer Wilds.
10 years ago today, my first Edge byline. (Not the first time I'd written for the mag, obv, but the first time my name appeared on a feature.) A happier time. RIP Wii U.
@myperfectcnsle BOF Dragon Quarter is a great pick. Such a weird and interesting game
I may be biased as I've done it a few times myself, but I'm enjoying hearing more and more editors go on podcasts like this to talk about the nuts and bolts of modern traffic acquisition. It's actually probably the most interesting thing going on in internet media rn.
This week's episode features @wesleyfenlon, a senior editor for @pcgamer. In this clip Wes discusses which stories can help bring in a million+ visits to the site in a day, and how arcane changes in google's search algorithm can have catastrophic effects:
I was convinced I’d never again play a strategy RPG that made me feel like I was playing the original Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem for GBA but Unicorn Overlord is doing it. What a beautiful game! I’ve always enjoyed Vanillaware’s games though this is already my favorite.
@myperfectcnsle Simon, I just finished the Thompson episode. What a great listen. Thank you for making this episode. It was great.
What a fantastic, revelatory interview from @myperfectcnsle this week. It would be easy for this to have become an entrenched, polarised exchange, but instead there's genuine engagement and exploration among the incisive questions and robust follow-ups. One to be proud of Simon.
I spoke to Jack Thompson, the Florida lawyer who gained notoriety in the early 2000s for claiming the video game industry was complicit in American school shootings. After he was disbarred, Thompson left the public spotlight. Was he misunderstood? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/my-…
There are so many massive games to play right now, I’ve been neglecting some and had to make a schedule! Never done anything like this before. Anyone else ever try this? Is this a sign of madness?
@GamesByKinmoku I've enjoyed @DirectionalShow, @myperfectcnsle and @NodesBiscuits recently. Not quite games, but for Internet culture stuff I like BBC's The Digital Human backlog and their more recent The Artificial Human spin-off.
Yeah, this is essential listening. Wow. Bravo @SimonParkin @myperfectcnsle, will definitely be supporting via patreon when I can.
