Wait hang on this is crazy

A blockbuster investigation by the AP, out today. So much in it, give it a read, but starts with: "The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious."

In honour of everyone thinking Half-Life 3 might be about to be announced (lmao), and me being the biggest worst/best Half-Life sicko, here I exclusively reveal to you the identity of the Gman

Chat, you're so coated with the goat sauce.

Watching all your friends play Dispatch but they won't play Road to Empress

Important things being discussed over on r/TheShield

bill maher with one of the craziest flop jokes i've ever seen in my life

Boy EA, that was a weird fucking email to notice when I glanced down at my phone.

Maybe the most embarrassing thing I’ve done as an adult is pay to see Bill Maher live. It was 2012. I was 24. I’ve grown and learned, and I am sorry.

A Half-Life 3 announcement would break the internet if the internet were full of only 35+ year olds. (I kid, I kid... I'll just wait for the TikTok videos with Alphas explaining why their parents liked Half-Life so much back in the day)

20 years…

This is a great critique of what Call of Duty is now, and well-worth reading.

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

Burnout 3 is the best racing game ever made

Wowww still a shock even when CS II has been a bit of a disaster (still waiting on the console versions first announced for 2023). Cities: Skylines is one of my most played games ever. Maybe this’ll be a positive change.

I keeping forgetting they’re filming a live-action Zelda movie right now. Like that’s a movie that is happening for real.

NEW: the new game Dispatch is a huge hit (1 million copies!). But few people know how close it came to never existing. Here's the wild story, from a canceled Splinter Cell game (scoop!) to a Telltale divorce to the founders not taking paychecks for six months: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

This isn't a defense but when you boot up the game it's immediately clear that this campaign is just another multiplayer mode. They call it "Co-op Campaign" from the jump, you launch from a lobby, earn multiplayer XP, etc.

Metroid may lead all franchises in Discourse:Sales ratio.

This is concerning

Played the first two campaign missions of Black Ops 7. It’s weird and feels slapdash but I have to say it was fun playing with a co-op squad. This was pretty fun.

The zombified corpse of Waypoint/Vice put out this whole article not realizing the new ESRB ratings are for the first game. Embarrassing. Editors, who needs them?

Is it even possible Ubisoft is being bought outright? Who would have the stomach and/or resources to do that?

😌

Can someone who remembers more of The Odyssey tell me what that giant beast is?

Vine is back?? Sort of? techcrunch.com/2025/11/12/j...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Just what Horizon fans are clamoring for: two different multiplayer games with no Horizon 3 in sight

This is very funny but I just realized it’ll have the most exclusives if we’re talking all of Steam 🤯

My nextdoor neighbor: hey want some homemade tacos? Best neighbor ever.

Kinda regret buying a SteamDeck because I don’t play handhelds and have barely touched it. But a console running SteamOS that allows me to play PC-only games? 😮

Finally finished Ghost of Yotei and I totally agree with this narrative critique.

Remember when some rando on Reddit said Ubisoft was about to announce Noah Hawley and Rob Mac were to make a Far Cry series? And every games outlet ran the story as all but confirmed? And then it didn’t happen? Good times.

I'm still not convinced Switch 2 can actually decently run a lot of AAA PS5/XSX exclusive games. Ubisoft seems to be doing well with Star Wars and AC, but do we have any other encouraging examples? Will be interesting to see how FF7: Rebirth looks...

Cybersecurity training I have to do for work talks about "juice jacking," something I had never heard of and is apparently not really a thing 🤷‍♂️

My solution to fix James Bond canon: [FADE IN] JAMES BOND is riding a motorcycle Fast As Fuck down the Italian coast... The rest writes itself

Best thing about buying movies on Apple are the DVD-style menus complete with special features. Makes me sad I spent years buying stuff on Vudu instead.

Guess it’s time for me to yet again try Lumines and hope I can actually get into it

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

pluribus rocks it’s kinda like american end of evangelion

Just had a random memory of Redfall and got extremely bummed out.
