When Sakurai saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer.

@onthefencegamer @Wario64 I grabbed one. I don't follow the card scene too closely, but this is the deepest discount I've ever seen for FF packs. Comes out to $4 a pack

It’s game day. Let’s win this.

Wait, wait, wait!
Everybody calm down!
There seems to be some misunderstanding, but I'm not retiring from video game music work!

I'm going to cut back a bit on my video game music work because I want to have more time to make the music I want to make. It would be difficult for me to take on the entire soundtrack of a video game because the time commitment for composing would be too long, but I would like to continue to work on jobs such as one theme song.

So, we are waiting for your offer to Nobuo Uematsu con TIKI!

@Wario64 Looks like even Nintendo has gone woke

[Giancarlo Valdes @_boogs]

100%. You can see the same vitriol around the discussion of The Acolyte (especially after it was cancelled), it's been paraded everywhere to "prove" Black Myth: Wukong's success, and now people use it to justify the shutdown of Concord.

I hate it so much.

One of my favorite parts of PAX was all the Filipino devs and fans finding me to tell me how important Jan is to them.

Here's an official, final letter from the editor statement from former-Game Informer editor-in-chief Matt Miller (who doesn’t use this website because he is a smart, sane person).

Holy crap, would’ve been fun to be in Hall H at that moment

Fun seeing the Shibuya Nintendo store doing NES World Championship demos

[Giancarlo Valdes @_boogs]

@DistanceNerding Still need to play that! It’s in my backlog lol

[Giancarlo Valdes @_boogs]

Liking The Acolyte so far! Some really cool fights and stunt work. The world feels gritty and tangible (kinda reminds me of Andor), and it's fun to see Jedis in new/old outfits

[Giancarlo Valdes @_boogs]

@TheVTran What a cool reveal! Congrats 👏

[Giancarlo Valdes @_boogs]

Fun mini reunion at #GamesBeatSummit yesterday!

Just missing @deantak (who was probably running around lol) @JeffGrubb @jason_wilson

[Kahlief Adams @KahliefAdams]

Huge thank you to all the amazing folks at @GamesBeat and the panel of industry folks that bestowed this humbling honor. It brings me so much joy to know that the work I’ve done at @SpawnOnMe continues to make an impact in the gaming industry.

A few of the most annoying people online have become angry at this joke column I wrote. I apologize to anyone who has experienced such a strong emotional response to it. https://t.co/7DqZD1bRAM
