Kudos to @BrendanSinclair for this. He'll probably get a lot of flak, especially from people who don't read the full story and then comment anyway. Tight gun control/restrictions are first and foremost what are needed but pubs should consider how they are feeding into gun culture

Games don't cause gun violence, but some are feeding a cultural obsession that makes it harder to fix the larger problem | Opinion

BREAKING: Michigan’s Attorney General refers the 16 Michigan Republicans who forged a certificate claiming that Trump won in 2020 to federal prosecutors for criminal felony charges that can earn them decades in prison. RT IF YOU THINK THAT FEDERAL PROSECUTORS MUST CHARGE THEM!

I don't think I've ever seen this much sarcasm in a story on GI and I fucking love it! Kudos @BrendanSinclair! You had way too much fun with this one :)

I had a small heart attack. But I'm going to be ok thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery.
Also, AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level. I'm going to take a beat to recover but I'll be back soon.

Hey @esportsobserved @DotEsports any rumblings in the esports world about teams, players, influencers etc possibly boycotting OWL, CDL, or others thanks to the ongoing ATVI mess?

When Jim Crow was first established, the process was slow, one outrage at a time. The state laws were systematically altered over a decade. I’m sure some ppl thought, “look at that, another crazy thing” and went on with their lives. DON’T REPEAT HISTORY. huffpost.com/entry/texas-sen…

Is it worth buying discounted PS5 games today during Prime Day even though I have been unable to secure a PS5? Hmmm.

Absolutely brilliant essay from @ibjade that you should read. Solid assessment of how games are becoming (and need to be) malleable and how creative control is no longer in the hands of directors but fans. future.a16z.com/fans-drive-h…

Don't think this is a great idea from a brand perspective. Xbox Live has been the standard-bearer for online gaming for multiple console gens. The brand recognition is strong. Ultimately the Xbox brand itself matters a lot more, but still...

Oh hey, great, so @Activision @ea and @2K are cool taking boatloads of cash from MBS now? Just ignore the human rights atrocities and murder of a journalist and pump out more CoD! Too bad @hasanminhaj doesn't still have his Netflix show to discuss... gamasutra.com/view/news/3776…

This is fantastic! Great to see Sony willing to work with Xbox on this, and with cross-platform play!

Really great to see “MLB The Show 21” coming to Xbox. Great move to have this strong franchise available to more players on April 20.

Dear Capcom, thanks for reminding me that #ResidentEvil is now 25 years old and launched in 1996 when I graduated high school. Where's my walking stick?

Yes, Marjorie Taylor Greene is wearing a mask that says “CENSORED” as she speaks into a microphone on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
