Video games media and culture, seen through the lens of what rocked (and what sucked) about the retro game magazines that inspired @tyschalter.com & @aidanmoher.com to become professional journalists, authors, and critics.

Many thanks to @boardgamefeast.bsky.social for helping me through the early game friction and not making me feel bad when I died to a rat.
@aidanmoher.comReposted by @funfactorpod.comGoing live now! Come watch me struggle with Morrowind's interface and suffer through all the Elder Scrolls faces. This is also the first stream I'll be doing with a game on my PC captured through my capture card, so a fun experiment!
@funfactorpod.comHey, hey! It's Thursday, so @aidanmoher.com will be live on our Twitch and YouTube channels at 12PM PST (about 45 mins from now) streaming some Morrowind!
Come hang out and help him understand what's going on.
@funfactorpod.comReposted by @funfactorpod.comGood things come to those who wait!
After overhauling his video production workflow, @aidanmoher.com's got a new-look video version of the show, and it's DOOZY of an episode.
Come for the Morrowind, stay for the vegemite, and make sure you leave a like or subscribe on your way out!
@aidanmoher.comReposted by @funfactorpod.comThe weirdest takeaway from this episode was the mid review for Morrowind. Ty and I talk a lot about the game, but also look back on how it was received at the time versus now.
@aidanmoher.comReposted by @funfactorpod.comPretty proud of this one! I completely redid my production workflow, trying to cut as much of Riverside's AI tools as possible and just using raw footage in Premiere, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Show looks better, and, in the long run, should be quicker to produce. Please check it out!

@funfactorpod.comIt's FunFactor Fuuuuuuesday!
The fun guys @tyschalter.com and @aidanmoher.com head down under to check out issue 110 of Hyper—one of the longest running game mags in the world (1993-2019!), consider the crossover of PC and console gaming, then set off for the strange world of Austra— er, Morrowind.
@kerrblimey.bsky.socialReposted by @funfactorpod.comI've been mulling over this for a while, but if you're a game journo who has worked under Valnet and want to confidentially share your views on how the company is managing its publications and treating workers, I am all ears.

@rhithewitch.bsky.socialReposted by @funfactorpod.comWell. That's me gone from TheGamer too. Six years of service, and I was at least given the dignity of it ending in a phone call. Right after dealing with weeks of institutionalized misogyny too! Thought things might be getting better So. Uh. Looking for work now I guess!
@funfactorpod.comUgh. We’re sorry.

@aidanmoher.comReposted by @funfactorpod.comAs someone who spends a lot of timing editing and producing the video version of @funfactorpod.com, I like to think the visual aspect of going through a visual medium like legacy media/magazines has a justifiable positive impact in our case, haha.

@aidanmoher.comReposted by @funfactorpod.comVOD is live! Belmont's Curse is terrific, but the Switch version looks very rough compared to what I played a few months ago. Come watch me finish the demo and chat about what comes next!
