As the 10th-anniversary celebration of TwitchCon San Diego 2025 wound down, we had the pleasure of sitting down with a variety of streamers and paranormal investigators, detune. Known for his unique blend of spooky, goofy content and his ambitious real-life ghost hunting show, Paranormal Detour, Detune offered insight into balancing a demanding content schedule, transitioning from the music industry, and his candid feelings on the convention’s most pressing issue: creator safety. From East Coast Music to West Coast Haunts Detune, who maintains an East Coast streaming schedule despite living in Los Angeles, immediately dived into the evolution of his career. Having…

For 25 years, a certain type of strategy gamer has been chasing a ghost. We are the fans of 1999’s Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim—a game that did the unthinkable. It put you on the throne and then told you, “You’re not in charge.” You couldn’t click a hero and send them to fight. You had to ask. You had to beg, bribe, and pray that your greedy, cowardly, and impossibly stupid heroes would stop drinking at the tavern long enough to save the kingdom. It was chaotic, charming, and utterly brilliant. Its sequel, Majesty 2, modernized the formula but…

There are games that test your reflexes, games that test your mind, and games that test your patience. And then, there are games from Bennett Foddy. The name itself has become a genre, a warning label for experiences that are less “played” and more “endured.” They are deliberately punishing, mechanically obtuse, and designed to break you. Getting Over It was a generation-defining exercise in frustration. So when Baby Steps—a collaboration between Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo (Ape Out), and Maxi Boch—was announced, the world braced for another “streamer-bait” rage game. And we got one. But we also got something else entirely. Baby…

Among the triple-A announcements and hardware reveals at TwitchCon San Diego 2025, one of the most unexpected—and addictive—hits came from an unlikely source: Firefox and their physical card game, Billionaire Blast Off (also known as Data War). TheBigBois team got hands-on with the game at the Firefox Booth (#2805) on Saturday, where we quickly realized this satirical card game is far more than just a clever marketing stunt. It’s a genuine blast, and it carried the energy of the event right back to our hotel and out to the Block Party. Launching Billionaires and Loving the Chaos The concept of…

Saber Interactive, the studio behind acclaimed simulation hits like SnowRunner and RoadCraft, has launched the first-ever demo for Docked as part of Steam Next Fest. This realistic port management and simulation game throws players straight into the chaos of rebuilding a family business at Port Wake after a devastating hurricane. Players are invited to punch in for their shift and get hands-on with operating colossal heavy-duty vehicles in a desperate effort to restore the port to peak performance. Hands-On Heavy Machinery Operation The Docked demo starts at the height of the crisis, immediately requiring players to roll up their sleeves…

The world comes back into focus through a haze of pain and the coppery taste of your own blood. Your head feels like it’s been split open—and it has. A phone rings somewhere in the abandoned warehouse you’ve woken up in, an insistent, screeching demand. This is how PIGFACE, the debut shooter from solo developer titolovesyou and publisher DreadXP, introduces you to its world: not with a gentle tutorial, but with a splitting headache and a death sentence. You are Exit, a terrible woman whose awful past has finally caught up to her, and the voice on the phone has…
