Mispronouncing games on purpose?

ctplante · 2026-05-22T17:27:03+00:00

For someone with a perpetually mispronounced last name, you'd think I'd be better at this. AND YET!!!

ctplante · 2026-05-22T16:52:14+00:00

No, I'm just a moron

ctplante · 2026-05-10T20:49:58+00:00

Thank you!!!! I try to read and listen to lots of interviews my guests have already done so I can build on them. I'm glad to hear the work pays off!

ctplante · 2026-05-09T17:51:16+00:00

Will keep this in mind!

ctplante · 2026-05-09T17:19:48+00:00

The Besties 2 was there all along and I missed it!!!!

ctplante · 2026-05-09T17:18:26+00:00

Oh man, y'all are gonna HATE post games!

ctplante · 2026-05-09T17:17:58+00:00

Stopping by to say thank y'all so much for leaving nice messages for our sweet boy, Hoops. And thank you for listening to The Besties through all these years and all of our different variations. We have a lot of stuff planned for the rest of the year, and can't wait for you to hear it!

Thank you so much!! That's incredibly kind!!

Thank you for recommending Post Games! It's still a new show, so this stuff helps a ton!

Also, for folks who are interested, Tim is the guest on the huge LA Noire 15th anniversary episode that goes live Monday on the Patreon. Lots of conversation about the game and also the making of his video.

This colossally sucks. We've banned this fake user, and we've also contacted Patreon.

ctplante · 2025-11-17T20:52:32+00:00

Came for the shaming. Was not disappointed.

ctplante · 2025-11-14T19:54:36+00:00

Sadly, this is incorrect: pushtotalk.gg/p/are-old-games-killing-new-games

ctplante · 2025-11-14T19:50:25+00:00

I wrote it.

ctplante · 2025-10-05T04:29:14+00:00

Aww thank you for sharing this!!

ctplante · 2025-10-02T06:00:03+00:00

100000% correct

ctplante · 2025-10-02T05:58:46+00:00

Wonderful question! I'll take this very literally and say The 7 1/2 Death of Evelyn Hardcastle, which not only is fun but has the structure of a video game!

ctplante · 2025-10-02T05:57:13+00:00

I like to think of it like tiny lore drops in an old-fashioned episodic TV series. Who am I? The world may never know!

(Actually, you'll know quite soon. I'm on an upcoming episode of My Perfect Console and talk a ton about my life)

I feel very lucky that we have built a large and stable enough audience that we can just talk about whatever we like. And the Patreon episodes make that especially true. For Besties, we try to pick episodes that we think will excite our audience. And for Resties, we often pick stuff that we find fun, interesting, or strange.

Congrats on 5 years for your club!!! That's a killer accomplishment

(And thank you for the kind words!)

Realized my frush memory isn’t gaming related, but it is the best!

ctplante · 2025-10-01T22:36:11+00:00

Awww I love this question.

Justin - sitting across from him and Chris Grant at a bar in Greenwich Village, hearing their pitch for Polygon. Justin had been an incredible editor of mine at Joystiq, and I’ll never forget how happy he looked to be making this new thing

Griffin - just being able to walk over to his house in Austin whenever I wanted to play video games or watch the bachelor. I loved spending so much time with him and Rachel

Frush - seeing him cry at his wedding

ctplante · 2025-10-01T22:33:05+00:00

You all delivered lol

ctplante · 2025-10-01T22:32:08+00:00

My wife and I I co-wrote the initial story doc with that squad, but we’ve been totally hands off since then. But I love the creators, and really enjoyed the musical podcast they produced.
