• ALBOTAS.com – ALBOTAS is now on Tumblr!
  Holy shit! I’m actually a little bit in shock! Does this mean no more indieclicks ad banner, though? Man. I mean, I have tried, and indieclicks does not just give that privilege out to people. However: now it’s a lot easier to read ALBOTAS from work! Yaaaay!
• DOS Nostalgia – Leisure Suit Larry (VGA) review
  Meant to repost this awhile ago (via @gnomeslair)! There is something unspeakably, face-punchingly endearing about Anatoly’s "DOS Nostalgia" video reviews, which themselves focus mainly on DOS-based point-and-click adventures. Here, Anatoly praises the good-lookin’ Leisure Suit Larry I remake.
• The Bygone Bureau – Editor’s List: Required Reading
  Wow. Um, I saw I was getting a little traffic from this particular link, and Bureau editor Nick Martens has absolutely paid me I think the compliment of my life. But all the articles listed here—this is a mid-year best-of-2010 reading list—are utterly due your time and interest.

  For instance: I know the Robin Sloan piece well, and David Cole’s "Metagames and Containers," an interactive demonstration of our human tendency to invent our own games and little rulesets, is a tremendous accomplishment. As a reader and gamer and Internet-user, you’ll find plenty more hyperlinks to articles sure to engage: there’s "Playing the Odds," "Toy Soldiers," and "On Tetris," to start. So follow the link to, uh, find all those links.
• SideQuesting – The Trouble with GameJournos
  I’m a little obsessed with GJAIF, but only in the same way I was—for years—obsessed with Perez Hilton (who will get totally burned today? Let’s watch and wait!). The unhappy truth is, I can’t help but agree. There is now more wrong with Ben Paddon’s humorlessly vindictive Tumblr than ever. Time for me to disconnect?
