Kill Screen

Kill Screen is an online magazine founded in 2009¹ by Jamin Warren and Chris Dahlen and owned by Kill Screen Media, Inc. It focused on video games and culture, but also included articles based on entertainment. The name is based on the video game term of the same name. In 2009, both Warren and Dahlen were former writers for Pitchfork when they decided to found the magazine. After a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the magazine, the first issue was released in March 2010¹. After partnerships with Pitchfork, StoryCode and Film Society of Lincoln Center, the magazine eventually founded an annual video game conference, two5six, in 2013¹. The magazine's website did a redesign in January 2014 and the print magazine itself was redesigned and overhauled after a second successful Kickstarter campaign in November 2015. In 2016, two5six's name was changed to Kill Screen Festival. From 2009 to 2016, it was also published in print. After 2016, Kill Screen ceased publication, and its website went defunct around the same time. The site was relaunched in 2020 with a new editorial approach. Subsequent to this, it was known as Killscreen.
