The whaling log and "What I do and Why" page explain in greater detail about my methodology on how I choose the games I play and how I play them, but in brief: Using data from the Mobygames API, I have selected a list of "whales" - games of significant and lasting appeal meeting a cutoff point of total ratings - which I will play in chronological order. This list is supplemented by "discretionary whales" of personal interest. In addition to the whales, I will play "notable ancestors" o

An accused movie pirate who stole more than 1,000 Blu-Ray discs and DVDs while working for a DVD manufacturing company struck a plea deal this week to lower his sentence after the FBI claimed the man's piracy cost movie studios millions. Steven Hale no longer works for the DVD company. He was arrested in March, accused of "bypassing encryption that prevents unauthorized copying" and ripping pre-release copies of movies he could only access because his former employer was used by major movie stu

Perhaps the greatest challenge to studying coastal prehistoric communities is the fact that, because of erosion and changing sea levels, those coastlines simply no longer exist. However, there are still ways to study them indirectly. After investigating whale bone tools and fragments from prehistoric sites in France and Spain, a team of researchers revealed that the oldest specimens in the collection date back to around 20,000 years ago. That places them among the oldest known examples of human

As so-called "killer whales" have made news over the past few years for violent boat attacks in European waters, marine biologists have noticed a far sweeter behavior in Iceland's frigid waves: the adoption of a baby whale from an entirely different species. In interviews with Scientific American, scientists described their shock at observing a pilot whale calf that traveled with an Icelandic pod of orcas over a period of years. One of those researchers, Chérine Baumgartner, said she and her c

Every summer, an area of deep underwater canyons off western Australia’s south coast called Bremer Canyon becomes the preferred feeding ground for marine predators including sharks, pilot whales, beaked whales, and the highly intelligent orcas. As such, Bremer Canyon has become a popular whale-watching destination. This week, a pod of orcas put on a gruesome show. On Monday, tourists and researchers on a tour boat at Bremer Canyon witnessed a pod of over 60 orcas hunt and kill a roughly 59-foot

Almost 40 years ago, deep in the Pacific, a single voice called out a song unlike any other. The sound reverberated through the depths at 52 Hertz, puzzling those listening to this solo ringing out from the ocean’s symphony. The frequency was much higher than a blue whale or its cousin, the fin, leaving scientists to ponder the mystery of Whale 52. The leviathan has been heard many times since, but never seen. Some suspect it might have some deformation that alters its voice. Others think it mi

There are many extraordinary creatures in the world, but few are quite as extraordinary as the sperm whale. These vast, enigmatic mammals have long fascinated and terrified humans. Don’t take it from me, take it from Herman Melville. But in this case the reality is even more fascinating than the myths. Capable of diving thousands of feet beneath the waves for over an hour at a time, the sperm whale has perhaps the most exotic diet on the planet. As the biggest toothed predator on earth, it fea

Narwhal tusks are the stuff of legends, literally. Growing up to ten feet long, they were once believed by some medieval cultures to be the horns of mythical creatures like the unicorn — not to mention the inspiration for Jules Verne's iconic nineteenth-century science fiction novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas." As prominent a fixture of public fascination they may be, scientists have long struggled to understand how narwhals actually use these long, spirally protrusions. The tusks,

Add endangered whales to the list of things the Trump administration doesn’t give a rat’s ass about. On February 20, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, an agency belonging to the Department of the Interior, announced it was cancelling a notice that recommended ship operators in waters occupied by Rice’s whales to restrict their speed to 10 knots (11.5 miles per hour) or less. The notice, which affects a large swath of the Gulf of Mexico, was put in place in 2023 to specifically protect Rice
