  • Hyrule Tease

    I’m loving the latest teeses — see what I did there — showing up in  Editmode‘s Instagram feed for new additions coming to its “The King of Games” collection of clothing.

  • Crystal

    I quite like the music coming from Qrion — who hails from Hokkaido — and here she is with a new music video, for the track “Crystal.” Some of you may remember this Vine video that featured her playing a track with a Legend of Zelda sample.

  • Gawkerless

    The news of the sale of Gawker Media and the closure of Gawker.com was a sad one for me. I consider myself very thankful and lucky that early in my writing career I had the opportunity to write for three Gawker sites (Kotaku, Gizmodo, and Gridskipper). These things happened after I had the chance to…

  • Legend of the Skyfish

    The last of the iOS games currently seeing heavy play on my devices is the one that I really knew nothing before launch, but saw it mentioned in articles that were talking about Deus Ex GO and Mr. Robot:1.51exfiltrati0n.ipa, and my interest was piqued.

    I wrote the other day how I was getting excited about playing a few iOS games, and this is another one of them. I really loved the first season of Mr. Robot – and am currently waiting for season 2 to finish before watching it – and when I saw that there was a new…

  • Only Yesterday

    I don’t quite know why I’d never watched Only Yesterday – I’ve watched pretty much every Ghibli film, and I even thought I had seen it. I was reminded of it recently because they’re planning a new western release for it this year with new English voice acting (the film originally came out in 1991). I…

  • The Trouble with Comments

    I haven’t had comments on this site for quite a few years — I can’t remember when I made the switch, probably around the early 2010s, but it was a reaction to the constant battle against spam, as well as noticing that comments on the site were getting lower, and I figured that feedback could…
