It's been an interesting 24-hours in Gaming as I read the previews and debate about the new Steam hardware. Remember: Not everything needs a winner or loser. Choice is always good. Game where, how and when you like. Where YOU find YOUR fun is all that matters. 💚💙❤️🖤

I can Battlefield REDSEC too! # 1

Later this month marks the 20th anniversary of kicking off the HD era with the launch of Xbox 360. Helping build, ship and launch this console was one of ther most magical professional moments of my career. Here are photos of my launch console. Fun fact: I have NEVER turned this console on.

I picked up a POP Phone from Native Union and join online meetings with it. I have been enjoying the quizzical looks from those too young to understand days of the landline. I got yellow to remind me of the Harvest Gold wall phone we had in my childhood home in CT

I can Tank

Congrats on the launch ! #MadeWithUnity

I appreaciate that the Battlefield 6 devs are thinking like gamers.

Is it my imagination or does fan art just keep getting better and better? Thank you so much to our community for all this incredible, inspiring, amazing art! 🧡 www.doublefine.com/news/25-year...

Oh and when we opened NASDAQ

and a few Halo 3 launch photos from my archives My Halo 3 Zune and the LA Launch Party

18 years ago today, Halo 3 was released. Feeling old yet? 🙃

Heads up: it’s the last weekend of Summer (or Winter depending on where you are located)

I made a mistake. I picked up the IPhone Air at the Apple Store It is very very nice.

I've been on the iOS 26 beta for a few months now, and I've been quietly going through my various iMessage threads and changing the background (sometimes to ones that are quite amusing) so when my contacts upgrade they get a little surprise. Let's see how it goes.

Did Boo Berry, Franken berry and Count Chocula need to be Muppetized?

Anytime you are sick, it sucks. Being sick in the summer feels worse. That's where I am right now.

Happy September!

Time for @helldivers2.bsky.social on @xbox.com - LET'S GO!

Totally a bot DMing me

Good read: "What Went Wrong with Social Media?" medium.com/@arunbains09... It contains a few of the reasons why I try to be purposeful with my social media consumpitons & try my best to avoid short form video content, anything driven by algorithms + try to be more present IRL

Bummed that the @playstation.com console prices are increaseing US $50 tomorrow: PS5 Pro will be $749.99 PS5 will be $549.99 PS5 Digital Edition: 499.99 An unfortunate byproduct of the trade polices in the US :( Get 'em now before the price bump: amzn.to/41McSzl

Let us know what you think!

Finally had a chance to catch up with @rubes.bsky.social - I miss working with him!

Good luck to all my industry partners and friends who are headed to Gamescom this week. Enjoy that amazing show and everything that Köln has to offer. 📷Throw back to a few years ago when @aceybongos.bsky.social, Julia Hardy and I were hosting the stream on the main @xbox.com stage

For the Battlefield 6 beta, when playing support - I mapped the rear paddles on my Xbox Elite controller to the Defib paddles. It feels more visercal running up to a downed allie & squeezing the paddles together on my controller to revive them. I may or may not yell "CLEAR" too.

Watching Alien: Earth on Disney Plus in the containment environment on the Apple Vision Pro is sublime.

My tolerance for AI output using emojis is at an all time low. 📉

Submit your project and good luck!

Receiving a few newsletters proclaiming 'end of summer' and 'Summer is ending..." and I am NOT happy about it.

BINGO. this works! Thank you @mchampion.bsky.social

In the app store on iOS, you can pull down on the account screen to refresh and check for updates - can you force a refresh like this on the MacOS App store?

I love being on @ziplyfiber.bsky.social - I've got my server doing a speed test every 3 hours and it's light years ahead of a coax connection.

What's the best way to watch BBC News in the US? I want to watch the same feed I see when I am in London. Not the US version that pipe over here.

See you in November !

I finally have access to to Fiber with @ziplyfiber.bsky.social - I noped out of @corporate.comcast.com in record speed.

Anyone know of an 8mm video player in the Seattle area I can borrow for a few hours. I think these are tapes from my radio days. But I never labled them.

Malcom. Ozzy. Hulk and now Chuck Mangione. What a week :(
