Next week we will be celebrating our Two Year Anniversary with a four hour group stream. Since it's not quite as bulky as our previous mega streams, we're stuffing four games in there, each getting one hour. One of those games will be up to you. One of those g...

I'm proud of the games we've already inducted, but I always knew the process was going to be weird and eventually evolve. I'm happy to say that one of the suggestions in this video (don't vote for your own game) was ...

One last Cup before we turn TWO! It's one of the biggest weeks of the year for us. We're celebrating our anniversary in a variety of ways (Concert, meet-up, livestream) but I'm also anticipating big review projects like Sea of Thieves and Far Cry 5 to cap off the month. It feels good to (almost) have the Souls Retro behind me.

I remember that I promised to warn you before Box Peek premieres. As production winds down on Episode 1, I feel confident to announce that--barring any tragedies--Box Peek will have a special premiere at the Easy Allies In Concert stream this Sunday. I say "special premiere" because there will definitely be a long gap between this episode's debut a...

Bloodworth here.
A couple weeks back I got an e-mail about this new racing game and I liked what I saw in the trailer and let the PR team know. They soon got back to me with an opportunity to go hands-on here in LA. So I drove over last week to check it out and get some footage, then sat down with Huber to give my impressions.

This was more of a personal episode for me because I have spent a lot of time with Bloodborne, and through it I’ve developed my admiration for the rest of this series. Despite having finished the game three times, I still gasped when I saw Brad take turns I didn’t know were possible, discovering secrets I completely missed. These games are supp...

The Group Stream Selection Committee has decided that Damiani will secretly tally votes and reveal the winners to the group. Next, we must decide something that has been a great debate, externally and internally:
Hello friends! Here is a video wherein I make a song with you, using a Pocket Operator and Ableton 10 and my voice and some cool plugins! It's less of a tutorial and more of an exploration into music making... kinda?
It's a nice relaxing 30 minutes and I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to March, everyone! A few more details this morning about the anniversary as the date creeps up on us. Thank you to everyone that already bought tickets to the event, and even more that plan to watch online. Some games I've been waiting to review are releasing around the same time as well. It's going to be an interesting month.
