A big reason why I love Mortal Kombat 1 is because of its big Marvel vs. Capcom energy, and that's on full display in these EVO 2024 matches

Had a dream I can only describe as "Videodrome for YouTubers"

Incredibly excited and proud of the new Ziff Davis Creators Guild contract we've achieved after months of hard work and organizing. This will help my co-workers and I (and even our industry) in so many ways. Unionizing your workplace! It's the best! www.nyguild.org/post/prime-d...

Hard to describe what a physical OBJECT OF NOTE this book presents as at home; just lying on a coffee/end table, the colors and presentation never fail to get a guest flipping through to a favorite title or year. It sparks deep conversation about the games it covers, and wildly, the ones it DOESN'T!
