Red nurtures the talent as time passes.

Then, like that, he is gone. Across the ocean and in a coffin.

One entire year of these chuckleheads? Welcome to Year 2 of The Content Mill: the same great content with a mill churning out only that primo 00 flour we all love.

War has yet to come to this home; sorrow will not flood this place for five years yet.

The marimba improves. Blue watches on, silently.

This house is a nexus for the Ellingtons, Scarlets, Violets, and Endless Ones.

Who would’ve thought that Upstate New York would be so important?

The Content Mill is back at it with another game to entertain you! Today, Phil is in the host chair and he needs his cohosts’ help to get the greatest achievement of all: Inbox Zero. So, come along and join the crew to figure out exactly what is that game??

We leave now for then. The same house, but a lone marimba plays. Poorly.

Golden light poles through the window, warmth flooding a home that won’t know it for much longer.

He is young and happy. He is full.

This week, one half of the crew talk the sights, sounds, and gaaaames of PAX West! Who IS actually the tallest, did Gianni cry, and…what’s this? The sound of a train?

Horns and marimba and the wailing squeal of guitar dredged from muddy depths blared from the house. The physical force of the sound pushing me back as I entered.

Then the crowd—where did they come from?—pushed me forward.

This week we are joined by Neo Aoshi to answer the question we’ve all been asking: what delicious concoction do you get when you blend up Mega Man and Resident Evil…5?

It was still sound check, if sound check could decide the fate of the world. The party hadn’t quite begun yet but that never stopped those Empty boys.

This week Nate is at the helm for a fun game of playground action figure battles! Who will win? Who will fall? Who…will fall in love??

A purple haze rolled from the open doorway. Red and blue lights pulsed, a violent clash of hues set to the frenetic playing of what could be only one band: Ellington and his Emptys.

The guitar, though, that was new.

The thing about video games is that they just keep coming out! Join the boys for a bit of a catch-up on what we've been playing, including sheep with guns, raccoons pushing hobbies, robo-gothic point and clicks, night time showers, and so much more!

All at once, I feel a breeze. The scent of pine and soil and rain carried upon the impossible wind. In a flash, I'm there. Here? Wherever that is.

I see a house. Gravel chunking beneath my boots. More open space than I've seen in years. Blue and red light pulsing from the windows like a gin joint lounge at last call.

And there's the tinkling sounds of a marimba warming up. Maybe it is a gin joint.

Chef Gianni has gathered up his batch of glorified dishwashers to cook up something delicious for you!

Do we manage to cook up some delicious games that would make that food critic at the end of Ratatouille realize all his flaws and see Sora as God? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

“It’s probably time to explain some things.”

The face shifts, jumping from the newspaper photo to the opened magazine I’m holding. His face blurs, then fizzes and settles into the bodywork of a gleaming auto ad. The paper smells of burning newsprint and…pine needles.

“The blue and the red. The open and closed. The full and the Empty. These are things of me.”

Jesse Cox joins us for another spin of Eric’s wheel to make some truly unhinged games, featuring Mickey Mouse, Sam Fisher, and…Harlan Ellison?

Thanks so much to Jesse for joining us! You can follow him on YouTube, or check his podcasts The Geekenders, Cox and Crendor, and more!

“Hey, kid. Down here. Yeah, you there. Come closer.”

Tucked behind a stack of tumbled magazines, along the path of red, I see his face. This must be Mr. Ree.

Who else would be speaking to me through a newspaper?
