Love Sam Rockwell. Every time.

So after a Shanghai office all-hands last week, the amazing marketing team brought the truck to the office.

I posted a much longer list on our internal gaming slack channel but character limits forced me to think longer and cull. ✂️I had more than 1,000 hours of gaming on PS5 this year and it was a fantastic year for games.

You know the rules Chet, never read the comments. 🫣

Got a 3D Printer (Bambu Labs P1S) just before Christmas and I’ve been obsessed… Printer has run 24 hours a day since. I’m learning tons, I’m organizing all my stuff and having a good time.

Arknights: Endfield Adds Another Game to the PS5 Gacha Apocalypse in January That's two launching within days of each other

From Bad Robot and the maker of Left 4 Dead comes 4:LOOP, a four-player co-op shooter set in an original sci-fi universe. #TheGameAwards

I was at the Game Awards last night and I think @geoffkeighley.bsky.social really nailed the balance between honoring the awards and being the marketing vehicle that the TGAs typically is, better than any other year I can remember. Some great announcements. Even a one or two that I wasn’t aware of.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I definitely had that T-shirt.
