Happy Thursday, friends. What games are you playing and what do you think of them? As a bonus prompt, what is your favorite game studio or creator?

Please visit Lily ‘Lovely’ Bones’ new Mid-Aughts Meltdown column on “The End of Acclaim Entertainment” here. As you can imagine, that’s what inspired the prompt!

Please also vote in The Avocado‘s Best Video Game of All Time tournament being run by the wonderful @Demyx. Doom has already lost so you know things are falling apart in there without your involvement!

Finally, please join us for the first part of a two-volume Franchise Festival column on Ultima tomorrow at 9:00 AM EST. I’d love to hear your take on this historic RPG series.
