I caught up to all 12 He Who Fights with Monsters audiobooks and now I have to wait until next year for the next book to come out. 😩

This is part of the problem with this era of fighting games. It really does feel like it’s in such a box. Especially 3D fighters. We have Tekken, Virtual Fighter, and what else? There used to be so much variety in art, concept, and gameplay.

So I started playing Sonic X Shadow Generations because my son insisted I get it and wow, this game is really good. Like, the Shadow levels and the hub world feel like the perfect evolution of Frontier’s gameplay.

Also, may this woman never make another appearance in an MCU film again. What a terrible character and actor.

Rewatching Captain America: Brave New World and as much as I’m a fan of Harrison Ford, losing William Hurt sucks.

I don’t think people realize how much he owned that role and how much better his version of Ross would’ve been in this movie.

Thinking about the touchpad on the DualSense/Dualshock and how it’s wasted as a PlayStation controller feature.

Imagine if the Switch Pro Controller had it instead? It would be the second coming of DS/3DS styled games.

Finished South of Midnight. I enjoyed it. Story & world are great. Some of the gameplay/platforming feels very early 00’s era action adventure. In some aspects it feels lacking but the simplicity can be comforting to just have fun with. I hope Compulsion gets to build on it.

Starting The Super Mario Bros. Movie because 3 year old and while everyone is worried about Chris Pratt as Mario, is no one concerned about the Jack Black/video game movie pipeline???

saying that games were $100 in the 90s isn’t a reason to justify prices steadily rising in 2025, especially when our salaries aren’t rising as well

Gaming shouldn’t be an elitist hobby

I’ll argue value for consumers every time

Comic Book Movie Posters Are Cool and All, but It’s a Shame They Aren’t Better Comic Book Movie Posters are one of the big draws for any movie. However, we are at a point where the repeating formula of these posters is just boring.

Yes, "Thursday what a concept" yet we also wanna share some #throwbackthursday vibes on here:

Steam OS and Bazzite are fantastic as I am presented with an easy to use UI for gaming and the ability to switch to a Desktop mode for any 3rd party apps I might wish to install

if Xbox wants to truly compete in the handheld market this is what I want from Windows

It’s insane how DC/Warners Bros. treats all of its superheroes outside of Batman/Superman. It’s like creators pull teeth to get them make anything and when they do and it doesn’t meet expectations, it gets thrown in limbo for like a good decade. Look at Green Lantern and Flash.

Pretty crazy for Warner to say they are focusing on DC Games when the only ones they are willing to put out and invest in are Batman ones.

Monolith has such great games. This really sucks for that team. Also, Wonder Woman cannot catch a break either. No games, no movies, no animated series.

Xbox Game Studios Update With Craig Duncan | Official Xbox Podcast
YouTube video by Xbox Xbox Game Studios Update With Craig Duncan | Official Xbox Podcast

refreshing to hear Craig Duncan on the Xbox Podcast mention that Game Creators want their games to reach as many players as possible

we can argue and fuss exclusives all day but the very people that create these games, wants them to be enjoyed and played by everyone
