I Couldn't Stop Playing Marathon's Server Slam - Bonus Action Marathon's Server Slam gave me a taste of something brilliant, but I can't help but feel mixed on the overall experience.

Very pleased to report my feelings on Marathon's Server Slam on the eve of the game's launch! This also features a short video I made, and this kind of complementary content is something I plan to do a lot more of moving forward on Bonus Action. bonus-action.com/feature/i-co...

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth Is Shaping Up To Be A Worthy Snufkin Successor - Bonus Action Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is already looking like a worthwhile successor to Snufkin: Meolody of Moomin Valley in every way.

Sorry if I've already shared this but here is my preview of Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth just ahead of the Steam Next Fest demo that is now there for you to play too. It's going to be a brilliant sequel of sorts. bonus-action.com/preview/moom...

Battlefield Redsec Season 2 Shows How Hard The Devs Are Cooking - Bonus Action Battlefield Redsec is getting its second season very soon, and it's so wildly varied that it'll completely change the game.

I was and am still very hyped about Battlefield 6 Season 2, so I wrote about that. This is a big season that appeals to me, so I'm hoping that applies to a few of you out there too. bonus-action.com/feature/batt...

Marathon's Vibe Has Darkened A Lot Since Its Initial Announcement - Bonus Action Marathon has had a pretty big vibe change since its original reveal and announcement, making it tough decide how I feel about it.

Next up is pretty on brand for me. A piece about how Marathon's vibes have changed so much since the initial announcement. Note: This is my opinion and it doesn't have to be yours, I didn't write this for a fight. bonus-action.com/feature/mara...

Even hardcore horror fans are going to feel this one in the deepest, most squeamish parts of their bodies. It's akin to THAT moment in Kane Pixels' Backrooms and nothing apart from this game has made me feel that way since I first watched it.

Don't forget about the Highguard Twitch Drops you can get right now! I watched Greek (ALGS) last night and earned the Banner and Mount and had a great time watching as well. These may not ever come back and you'll regret it if you don't get them for free right now.

Gonna use my downtime with this to try to do some insightful writing and maybe even get something together to use the name “brokeback gaming” because it feels like way too good a pun to miss at this specific point in time.
