The weekend is for really needing to be hitting certain mileage goals in my half-marathon training, which has been making me realize how small New York actually is. Can I resist turning into one of those runners who jogs up and down the block repeatedly to squeeze in that last portion of a mile? The weekend is also…
Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Released in 2013 for mobile devices and ported to the Vita and Switch in 2017, Deemo is a simple piano-based rhythm game with a truly heartbreaking story. I’ve played the original version on several different platforms, and it crushes me every time. For Deemo Reborn on the PlayStation 4, developer Rayark transformed…
Grand Theft Auto V is available on Xbox Game Pass today. In other news, I kind of regret not having an Xbox now?

2019 has finally wrapped production, which means it’s time for me to get back on the soapbox. If you were…
In case you missed Heather and me playing a game from 2005 that takes place in 2020, here’s our Perfect Dark Zero stream archive! Follow us on Twitch for more streams like this one.
The Mother 4 fan game that I was hoping to play in the winter of 2014 and stopped being a Mother 4 fan game in 2017 has finally announced its new title: Oddity.
Apparently the Final Fantasy VII Remake is going to release a demo soon, because some very credible leaks of a demo for the game have popped up online. After initial reports from tracking sites that a listing for a Final Fantasy VII Remake demo had been sneakily added to the Playstation Network, it appears that full…

At least 15 people have died, 17 are missing, and roughly ten million acres and one thousand homes have been destroyed in New South Wales, one of the hardest-hit states; it’s estimated at least 12 million acres have been burned…

My Xbox One has been precariously balanced on top of a stack of books for almost two weeks and will probably stay that way for several more because I am a monster with a million other things on his to-do list.
“Toss A Coin To Your Witcher,” the obnoxiously catchy song from Netflix’s The Witcher series, is everywhere. It’s in our heads. It has permeated Twitter. It’s being remixed over and over again. Now, thanks to an enterprising player of hit virtual reality rhythm game Beat Saber, fans can beat the song to death with…
Some people go to Times Square on New Year’s Eve to brave the cold, watch the ball drop, maybe get seen on TV or even pop the question. Not me. I went there to play Outer Wilds. I’m pretty sure I had the best time of anyone there.
As one of the few proud PlayStation Vita holdouts (chants: Vita means life! It only rhymes with wife!) I spent a lot of my holiday travel time playing old PlayStation JRPGs I’ve amassed for $6 a pop. While it can’t compare to staying up late in front of a boxy old TV, it’s been wonderful to play classics I missed out…
Television scheduling has shifted so much since the advent of “peak TV” that new shows are constantly sprouting up even in the dead of winter. The 2020 premieres start with the reboot of a tearjerker drama, the return of an iconic captain, a few fiery stand-up specials, and RuPaul’s first foray into scripted series. Th…
I love the Uncharted games. I’ve played through all of them at least a few times. I’m currently looking to buy a PS Vita just to play through Uncharted Golden Abyss again. Yet, I have nearly zero interest in an Uncharted film. And I don’t think I’m alone.
