That was the most fun I've had watching a Texans game in a long time.

Not to be That Guy, but man, things really click into place with that fourth Silent Hill f playthrough, huh?

I’ve started reading more classic literature because I want my daughter to see me reading instead of always looking at screens, and I may have jumped too far in the deep end with James Joyce. On the bright side, I’ve learned a lot about late early 20th century Irish politics and what a pandybat is.

Sexy shoulder blade hurts when tikting head to that side (sp). Apparently pain in my shoulder makes me type bad.

The video is still cooking, but my words are hot and ready. I reviewed Absolum for @ign.com. It's an exceptional beat 'em up and a middling roguelite. I enjoyed it, but I wish it hadn't wasted so much of my time forcing me to get my numbers up to progress. Death to RPG elements in action games.

Finally putting in the work to get the landscaping done in our yard, so I'm trying to mock up a quick and dirty look at how camellias and azaleas would look together and BOY DO PEOPLE NOT WANT YOU TO DOWNLOAD THEIR PICTURES OF PLANTS FOR FREE HUH

In today's super cool news, I got to review an updated version of my favorite video game, Final Fantasy Tactics. Please be excited www.ign.com/articles/fin...

Someone’s gonna get shot by the third quarter of this Eagles/Cowboys game.

Sometimes when your 8 month old cries for over an hour because she’s teething but also enjoys spiking all of her pacifiers to the ground for funsies you have to entertain yourself.

Mafia: The Old Country has me doing some extracurriculars.

Hello! You may have seen it, but I am one of the employees that have been impacted by layoffs at IGN. It's been a great six years, but this now means I am looking to apply my talents to something new and exciting.

*Record Scratch* Freeze Frame. "You're probably wondering how I got here." I am one of the eight IGN members laid off. During my three years at IGN, I worked for some of the best creators and writers around. I will miss them all dearly.

@mikebithell.bsky.social Hi Mike! Would you happen to have a good resource for learning Godot as your first game engine?

College Football 26 is my 25th review for @ign.com! It's a good football sim that makes smart improvements but still has a ways to go achieve greatness. 25 IGN reviews is... surreal. I did one in 2021. Two in 2022. Five in 2023. Ten in 2025. I have done seven this year, and have three more coming.

Increasingly annoyed that em dashes have become a marker of AI usage– I've been using them for years! What more can they take from us?!

Good job everyone!! We did it!!

I’ve seen a lot of classics, and I’ve seen a lot of masterpieces, but I never have more fun watching a movie than when I watch A Knight’s Tale.

I reviewed Capcom Fighting Collection 2 for @gamespot.com! As a collection, it's absolutely fire. Capcom's preservation moves continue to impress. However, some of the games being preserved here haven't aged as well as others. Full review here: www.gamespot.com/reviews/capc...

For anyone looking to lose 3-4 lbs. very rapidly, let me present the stomach bug currently going around. There are only a few times in my life that I’ve been this physically miserable, and I was a tiny white kid who played football in junior high.

@eyepatchwolf.bsky.social so sorry to hear about your dog, John. My wife and I went through something similar last year that ended up with me in Urgent Care getting treated for bites after breaking up a fight with her and our other dog. It really sucks but you did the right thing.

Something I learned this week: when your pediatrician recommends a full feeding every three hours for your infant, strictly on the hour, even over night, when each feeding can take up to an hour, you don’t get very much sleep.

One recommendation for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - I would at least check out the Hard mode. I played through the entire game that way, and really enjoyed the intensity it offered as it forces you to parry or dodge almost everything.

To add to an already exhaustive list of praise: Expedition 33 is beautiful, earnest, exciting, and sorrowful. One of my favorite games of all time. "Fantastic for such a small team" isn't a caveat that's needed. It just stands on its own as one of the best to ever do it.

AI comments nail it once again.

Mass Effect 2 Final Fantasy VI Skyrim Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Skyrim would probably be the first to be replaced if something else were to dethrone it.

As my wife can attest (as I’ve spent the last almost-decade of our relationship screaming “PAY YOUR STUNT ACTORS MORE!” any time there’s a gnarly bump in an action movie), I’m thrilled with the decision to recognize stunt teams for their contributions. Long overdue! variety.com/2025/awards/...

My wife took our little girl to a baby shower after I got her ready with a matching dress, headband, and socks, and apparently everyone complimented her outfit, so I’m gonna be flying high for a while.

Very excited to replay the first Bravely Default on Switch 2. It has one of my favorite soundtracks in any RPG, and each character's special theme plays when you perform certain actions in battle. Really cool stuff. Also, same composer as the first Attack on Titan OP! youtu.be/8OkpRK2_gVs?...

I find it very funny how From Software keeps sidestepping license issues by just changing half of a game’s name to create a new franchise. “This isn’t Demon’s Souls, it’s Dark Souls!” “This isn’t Bloodborne! It’s Duskbloods!”

Why does everyone hate the kid in Monster Hunter Wilds so much? He is inoffensive at best to me. Am I not jaded enough?

Oh come on.

In episode 5.09 of Frasier, “Perspectives On Christmas,” when Roz throws a box on the ground and it’s not from her point of view, it just sounds like a box. When it’s her turn to tell the story, since she knows what’s in the box when she throws it (champagne glasses), you can hear shattering.

In no way is an AI-generated recreation of an older game "game preservation." And if you think this is about empowering creators and not a way to ensure future cost-cutting, I have a bridge to sell you. t.co/LdRQyjU19l

There was an attempt.

@jacobgeller.com My wife got me this for my birthday a few years ago. Makes me cry too.

I was on Podcast Beyond this week to talk about Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Check it out if you’re feeling fancy! youtu.be/nnbRtZ19aW4?...

I’ve been told I’m not allowed to move for the next hour. Don’t really want to though.

Finally finished Infinite Wealth, which means I’ve beaten every mainline Yakuza game! If I had to order them right now, it would probably be: Yakuza 0 Yakuza: Like a Dragon Yakuza 1 (Kiwami) Yakuza 6 LaD Gaiden Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Yakuza 2 (Kiwami) Yakuza 5 Yakuza 4 Yakuza 3

In two hours, we will be live @ www.twitch.tv/edgarallanbro7 to raise money for LA wildfire relief! First up: Tekken, featuring: @alahftel.bsky.social @blessingjr.bsky.social @johnnychugs.bsky.social @murph04.bsky.social @jurassicrabbit.bsky.social @sonicmj1.bsky.social @silvurcross.bsky.social!

Tonight in BJJ class I got kneed in the head twice, had my lip swell up, got my shoulder wrenched out of socket, and I’m pretty sure I sprained my big toe. Having a great time, and not being sarcastic.

Skipping three weeks of BJJ classes due to having a newborn and being off for the new year is quite a rude awakening. I hath been armbarred to death.

In my excitement for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, I’ve been rewatching some MGS playthroughs, and I forgot that Kojima already referenced the movie On The Beach in MGS3 in one of your calls with Paramedic.

My 5 most anticipated games for 2025, in no particular order: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves 2XKO Judas Monster Hunter Wilds

When I stumble out of bed at 4am and try to get to my crying baby to figure out if she’s hungry, wet, or just a baby. youtu.be/pls6OyJpCWg?...

I’m gonna say something potentially controversial, but The Mummy (1999) is a better movie than any Indiana Jones. THAT BEING SAID, the former wouldn’t exist without the latter. Respect your elders!
