2025 has been fuckin horrible top to bottom, but what a gift it is that we got Mike Tyson Blow To The Face.

Here's my review of Metroid Prime 4, a game that I at times really loved, and at other times felt like torture to play.

Straight simulations are cool, but great to see someone really lean-in to the transformative nature of animation to try and capture the feel of skating without trying to be literal about it.

Skate Story is very neat! Fine skating, incredible vibes. Pretty cool contrast to Skate, in some way. Skate really struggled to capture the essence of skate culture despite having really in-depth trick controls, but Skate Story gets it by being way less meticulous and more abstract.

fwiw tho, still think there’s a good chance chiefs win this anyways

i do think that mahomes has earned a “never count out touchdown tom” status, but if you smell blood in the water with the colts implosion today and ravens looking weak, you gotta come out the gate stronger than this

I felt very good about my top 5 for a while, but the bottom 5 has been hell. A lot of games I really like, but with some big caveat.

Barring any last second surprises, I think my year-end games list is basically locked. And the only metric I am using to judge that is that the key art for my favorite 10 look really aesthetically pleasing together. That’s kinda when you know you’re done.

i will kind of miss unhinged clair obscur posting when it naturally quiets down a little in 2026. really has been a great source of weird internet humor for me in 2025

Love to see the Bills pulling it together when it counts and keeping AFC competitive. Hate to see the Colts season just kind of end at the finish line. That’s football!

It’s such a weird one because I agree with every criticism of it, but when I sit down to actually play the thing, I’m like “wow who gives a fuck this rules.”
