This week, I played and reviewed Cairn- the game with the best climbing mechanics... ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2405...

Okay, 2026 is gonna be alright.

... I am so unbelievably worried.

I see the consultants finished determining 6-7 was a good meme to go with, just in time for the joke to be thoroughly dead.

Nature is healing.

Hey Adobe, want to win a silly amount of goodwill by doing almost no work, at no cost to yourself? MAKE. ANIMATE. OPEN. SOURCE.

Dunk and Egg. That's the tweet.

I was more invested in Episode 3 of Dunk and Egg than the entirety of Season 8 of Game of Thrones. I wish I was kidding.

The culture is healing.

Iron Lung beat Melania by an insane amount and that makes me very happy.

This week, I reviewed a MOVIE INSTEAD OF A VIDEO GAME. The delightfully suspenseful IRON LUNG, written and directed by Markiplier, which I saw in theatres last night. www.youtube.com/watch?v=amyr...

Just saw Iron Lung in the theatre- a delightfully suspenseful horror movie. Markiplier acted his ass off for 2 hours, and it ruled.

Having watched it, I can say this immediately goes in the list of "Watch this YouTube video to understand how my brain works" videos. An all timer interview with whimsy and deep considerations in equal tandem.

I can't stress enough how good the Dunk and Egg tv show is. We're two episodes deep, and I care more about Dunk, Egg, and Lyonel than the entire House of the Dragon cast combined.

10 minutes of near-perfect parrying later, Chromatic Gault is dead at Level 33 on Expert. I am officially good at this video game.

Nothing like beating the Golden Needle challenge in Balatro after randomly guessing the correct Joker Order because I only have 1 hand. I need to never gamble irl.

This week, I played the Demos for Broomsweeper, Forbidden Solitaire, and Astronook- and tried to talk about them in a mere 60 seconds.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

I will be so insufferable when this special is out and demanding my slim video game audience suddenly care about The Muppets. THIS NEEDS A FULL SEASON FOR THE GOOD OF SOCIETY.

Broomsweeper is a new addiction of mine, I fear.

Got some new headshots taken- the last picture is my favorite.

Okay, I've fought every optional boss up to this point and done every bit of side content possible. ... I still don't want to.

Taking Gustave sightseeing on the "You should just wait until Act 2" super bosses. On Expert, no less, I hope he appreciates it.

I've begun Gloomwood and I'm afraid it's beautiful.

Okay -now- I can lock in on the Challenges and get ever closer to actually FINISHING Balatro.

Our "It's January, so I'm gonna make self-indulging, fun videos" series continues, as cover Skyrim, in the Year of our Lord 2026

The Balatro spirits clearly approve of my new calendar.

A 60 Second Review of Mr. Sleepy Man is gonna hit so hard.

I can't stress how nice it is for people to consistently compliment your socks, owing to the fact my sock drawer is literally just Awesome Socks now.

I would so much rather never have to care what the Federal Reserve Chair is saying- it says something about not just how evil this administration is, but how wildly incompetent they are, that I have to.

first Deadlock matchup ends in sweet victory (my team carried me harder than is physically possible)

The second playthrough is revealing there's a lot to Clair Obscur I totally missed.

This week, I played and reviewed an old favorite- Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition (and beat it solo for the first time!) Link in the comments.

We won't be gaslit about what we saw with our own eyes. An ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Minneapolis. We must honor her life with action and fight to end ICE's campaign of terror on our communities and on our people.

Okay, Burial Island is a LITTLE much.

Playing Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition Solo- this dorky looking elf is slashing his way through a ridiculous amount of undead.

This week, I reviewed Larian's Divinity Original Sin 2, after playing it in Honor Mode with a friend for my first playthrough. Link below! Spoilers- I hate that Astral Gem SO MUCH.

Somehow, it took me until my second playthrough to get this Achievement for Lune. I am good at video games.

The foreshadowing in this game is delightful.

33 Décembre. Beating that Mime on Expert is a whole new thrill.

Editing a 60 Second Review with an hour+ of footage from a game to select from. I am a really efficient editor.

Yes, the writing is good, and the game is fun, but the vibes of Fallout New Vegas are simply unmatched.

My friends and I beat the Cockroach Queen last night in Grounded 2- late contender for creepiest boss fight in a game this year.

in 2026 instead of lore-diving whatever giant franchise benefits from your engagement try doing it with any writer/director with a substantial body of work but no “fandom”. Marie Ndiaye. Maryse Conde. Samuel Fuller. See where it gets you. If you gotta have a static setting do Mervyn Peake

I have beaten Elden Ring for the first time- shoutout my trusty +13 Longsword that I two-handed for half the game, then the Royal Greatsword for the rest. Excited to actually use the different systems in this game on a second playthrough.

Playing Elden Ring for the first time- yesterday, killed Godfrey and Maliketh. A good day.

Clair Obscur made me interested in seeing what this Final Fantasy business was about, so ,of course, me and my pal decide we should jump in with... Strangers of Paradise. Perhaps the most unintentionally funny game I've ever played.

This Week, I finally got around to talking about Clair Obscur Expedition 33's Final Act, and the moral questions it poses. 13 bloody minutes. I have FEELINGS about this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qfJ...

Jimmy Kimmel is doing a better job of communicating about the fascistic rise in the US than every member of the Democratic party and I just don't know what to do with that reality.
