In Memoriam: Giant Bomb & Polygon
At the start of May 2025, much of Polygon’s core staff was laid off, and most of Giant Bomb’s staff was either fired or resigned. I give my thoughts on both sites, what this means for games journalism and criticism, and why this is an overall loss for gaming as a whole.

Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein is a film I knew – erroneously – by a presumed reputation. It was credited as the film that ended the long-running Universal Monsters series. Allegedly, it took the wind out of the monsters and made it so no one could take them seriously anymore. Having, at long last, seen the film, I feel like I can say with a degree of confidence that at as far as the film’s intent is concerned, nothing is further from the truth.
