My wife bought me shots and I said “I’m going to use this drunken energy to be mean about my arch nemesis”

Anyway, two years ago I tweeted that I’d send Phil a trophy if Ninja Theory went two years without a layoff. This is objectively the funniest outcome

Congrats to Phil Spencer for the rare video game CEO achievement of “being slightly better than Bobby Kotick”

Good to see that like with Rare and Everwild, Phil Spencer has “remained committed” to being CEO

This is why I’m always a little hesitant to tap dance on Microsoft’s grave. Hard to feel excited about the potential closure of what feels like every studio I like from my formative years.

I don’t have an ounce of energy to be snarky about bluepoint. Frustrating is the only way to describe it. Continuously nostalgic for a time when good studios were allowed to make good games and not be closed.

My favorite thing about this series is that I have to explain that a game like this can also make me cry harder than any other piece of media ever has.

As Nolan intended. Here in this barcade while Mumford and Sons plays

Oh no it was poisoned

A vesper

Le Chiffre doesn’t stand a chance

Watching the Godfather as Coppola intended. At 9 in the morning on a hotel TV while I desperately try to find the setting to turn off motion smoothing

Next videos title card is done and maybe a smidge over the top. Here’s a hint (and how I’m feeling about it)

SAY THE LINE TERRY

A great read, and really hits why the Luck Stat GOTY discussions have always been focused on "new to us" games. I'm a notorious "mood gamer" and I think talking about playing Sleeping Dogs for the first time in 2025 is a lot more interesting than the 100th conversation about Expedition 33.

I spent two days in San Diego with Kevin Lydy recording the MinnMax Spotlight and he was such a kind soul. Jumping back and forth from the beach to EverQuest art, he lived a hell of a life. Pour one out. youtu.be/_18ZFndAzWU

Absolute Wonder Woman is 👌, gotta go back to it

You reading all 3 (I think) of the new Godzillas? I've read a few of Starship and the main Godzilla but not enough to decide whether or not to continue

Ok, but Mansquito is a really good name

Question for semi-regular comic book readers: What's on your pull list? What are you looking forward to?

I'm pretty much only reading Fraction's Batman and Zdarsky's Captain America (and have dipped my toes into KO and the Absolute books) so I'm looking for suggestions

Hell yeah, dude! Congrats!

"fallout 4" "skyrim" "final fantasy" when are they gonna remaster a game people actually want to play. james bond 007 nightfire

Shoutout to Gorillaz music videos where they drive a funny little vehicle, gotta be one of my favorite genders

Too late in my life did I realize that Bret "The Hitman" Hart was right all along. America sucks, Vince McMahon should be spat on every day, and pink on black fucking slays.

Game devs have it real hard, critics have it real hard in different ways. The only people who don't have it hard are YouTube commenters. We must unite around this and make it hard for them. Hostile environment for morons

Had some trouble on this one, I found an interview that reframed a lot of the "April Fool's Day" stuff from the previous version. I normally would pin a comment but it felt big enough that I wanted to make sure this video was as accurate as possible. Shares and retweets are extra appreciated

If you covered RPGs I like to think he’d be your new David Cage. This would be your profile picture

“Hmmm, I’m sorry Kayla. Your dootcritic score has dropped below a 70 because people who don’t read our website are mad you didn’t call the new Horizon game woke and you’re a woman on the internet so we’re going to have to let you go.”

This isn’t my job, but as someone who has been piled on for such hot takes as “Fallout 3 is ok” and “this video contains spoilers for GTA V” I can’t see this going well for real journos.

But you’re right Swen, someone should put the often underpaid, precariously employed critics in their place

Street Fighter II and Soucalibur are only eight years apart, the length of time it now takes to almost make one game before it is cancelled.
