Our precious baby girl, Naomi Faye, is finally here! Everyone is happy and healthy, and we couldn’t be more in love. She’s perfect. 💕

As busy as I’ve been, I’m playing Expedition 33 every chance I can find. The combat stays engaging and I love how each character has their own playstyle. The music, environments, the story, its just all come together perfectly so far and I’m only in Act 2.

Just finished Alan Wake 2. A masterclass in atmospheric storytelling. Beautifully eerie and incredibly captivating. I got so invested that I had to get the platinum. Remedy crafted one of the most memorable games in recent years, it’s a must play. Can’t wait for what’s next.

Great mail week apparently. Got my Metal Gear Solid board game in too! The minis look great, especially the Metal Gear Rex that a friend is painting for me. Hope to play this one soon.

Pain 🥲 still hoping for a June release to line up with my parental leave for those sleepless nights.

Grounded CE from @obsidianent.bsky.social and @limitedrungames.com arrived over the weekend! 🪲🧬

Enjoyed an incredible (and emotional) performance at the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth world tour last night. Picked up a “No Promises to Keep” LP too! After not being able to make the FFVII Remake tour, glad we got to make up for it with Rebirth.

Very sad to hear the Square Enix cafe in Akihabara is closing. It was such a fun and unique stop on our honeymoon. Wishing them the best and hope to enjoy a Cosmo Canyon in the future. ✨

🏆 After the RGG hype at The Game Awards I put in another 25 hours to wrap up the Platinum for Infinite Wealth! Can’t wait for Yakuza Pirates in Hawaii and Project Century!

We’ve got one more milestone to share this year! In May 2025, we’ll be welcoming our baby girl, exactly 7 years after we first met. Plenty of time for Frodo to warm up to the idea of being a big brother. @katiebethj.bsky.social

Was lucky enough to not have anyone sing during our showing of Wicked.

Was unlucky enough to sit next to a couple who were talking and texting the entire 3 hours.

Even through that, I still really enjoyed the movie. Always impressed by large scale choreography.

What was your first Pokémon game and starter?

Instead of saying you don’t think a game is deserving of a TGA nomination, use it as a way to discover some great games you may have missed this year.

Looking at you Balatro doubters!

Other than Elden Ring DLC making the cut, I’m really happy with these nominees. Final Fantasy and Astro Bot are no surprise, but Metaphor and especially Balatro making the list have feels really good. It’s been a great year of game releases.

My 2024 backlog continues to grow 😮‍💨. After finishing Metaphor, I was set to move on to Sonic x Shadow Generations, but now also have Dragon Age: Veilguard, Dragon Quest III HD, and Mario & Luigi Brothership as well. I miss holiday vacation and being able to burn through games.

Cyberpunk 2077 winning Best Ongoing last year. DLC being eligible for all categories. Continuing a pattern of questionable choices for The Game Awards.

But the most upsetting thing? The hands in the handshake icon they used (generated?) have two different finger counts.

I’m glad that Blizzard worked to relaunch Warcraft 3 Reforged and make good on the mistakes of the initial launch. But really disheartened to see mention of hand drawn artwork when so much of it is just AI upscaling. Too many talented artists out there to justify this.

Eons!! Probably the most requested feature. Can’t wait to see how it works. I hope I can get a trophy for my embarrassing M+ score to display.

That Warcraft 30 Direct was incredible. Celebration of where we’ve come from, and soooo much to look forward to. I can’t believe they actually dropped player housing as the closer.

Taking my lunch break to watch the Warcraft 30 Direct and fully expecting tears 😭 This universe has been such a big part of my life and for the majority of my life too. Lok’tar Ogar!

Death Stranding released 5 years old today. This clip was relevant then, and is just as relevant now.

Found a bunch of old Pokémon stuff, including some badges I won from the Pokémon League Summer Training Tour in 1999. This was my first time officially competing and it’s still such a vivid memory. Thankful my parents drove so far to do something like this with me.

Just shy of 50 hours into Metaphor and it keeps finding ways to impress me. Hit a story beat recently that really shook things up. The gorgeous UI will stay with me long after I beat it. The archetype system, the music, it’s great all around. For never playing a Persona game, I love it!

One of our first times in Boston not for PAX, so we checked out the aquarium which was also a part of the Animal Crossing tour.

Been playing Sea of Stars the past few weeks, incredible! I’m at the point of no return, and enjoying the late game clean up before wrapping it up. Scratching that Golden Sun itch I’ve had for a decade.

Friday movie night 🍿

Been incredibly busy with work and wedding planning, but taking a breath to celebrate that we’re only 100 days away from getting married! Check out this Yoji Shinkawa inspired piece TEOFT made for us for our invites. Glad we could find Metal Gear a place in our big day.

I’m Trevor 👋🏻 I’m a Global Communications manager in the Telecom industry and a Graphic Designer on the side. I have a passion for video games (Metal Gear is my favorite franchise), reading comics, and traveling as often as I can. I’m also getting married this November and couldn’t be more excited!
