Six sick sects: The most unholy games of 2019

Better sinning through video games Halloween is a weird one. Once considered a Pagan holiday that celebrated the connection between the world of the living and the dark worlds of hell, it’s morphed into a celebration of being benignly “bad” in a variety of ways. If being holy means “following the rules of religion,” then this is the day to break all those rules. Pull tricks. Be a monster. Eat all the candy....

Tetris’ history is a complicated mess of Soviet policy and sneaky negotiations

From Russia with Love Along with loving video games, I’m also a huge fan of learning the history behind the industry. When I stumbled upon “The Gaming Historian” on YouTube in 2016, I had basically hit the jackpot. I’ve previously linked to his video on theformation of the ESRB, but his latest video about the creation and distribution ofTetristakes the cake.
