ARC Raiders is basically the most dangerous extraction shooter I've ever played. In a game that supports full PVP, but encourages civility, it's easy to let your guard down. But you never know when the tables may turn… and they turn often. It may be time to go full Ghoul...

Been playing copious amounts of both these games lately. Arc Raiders kind of reminds me of Fallout 76 in that other players tend to give you a hearty greeting instead of shooting you in the face. In Vigor, not so much. 😂

🧵(1/2) I basically mainlined @thechineseroom.co.uk's VTM: Bloodlines 2. It's been a long, long time since I've felt so connected to NPCs. Really great writing and voice acting all around. I'm actually sad that it's over. Sooo... I guess I'll play it again, in between bouts of BF6 aanndd...

Tomorrow is today!! Woohoo!! Happy Fallout Day!!

You can never win the expectation game (as a Fallout dev I know this well) so the biggest thing working against VTM Bloodlines 2... is the 2. This is a totally different type of game, a slick, smooth action RPG vampire fantasy. And it is SO fun and well-made. Props to @thechineseroom.co.uk

When you need a combat palate cleanser...

They're so ready! #Battlefield6

#BloodOfMehran is the best 25 bucks I've spent on a game in a long while. Is it old school? Absolutely. Indie with a less-than-AAA budget? Sure. Fun as hell and surprisingly well made? A resounding yes.

Well, I thought my account was secure. No, I did not repost whatever it was a bunch of folks just messaged me about. How's YOUR weekend so far? 🫠

I almost didn’t click, but glad I did… full video is crazy

Because sometimes you want to play a new game with fancy next-gen graphics... and sometimes you just want to kill some Gorn. #StarTrekOnline

Been playing a lot of Battlefield 2042 in prep for BF6. And while I'm super jazzed for the new game, I do have to admit I'm going to be bummed no longer playing as my go to - Michael K. Williams' Irish. What an absolute legend, and such an amazing way to be immortalized. ♥️

(Was just telling my wife about this photo from a con autograph sesh a few years ago. 😜) Friends: "Didn't you write that line for Skyrim? You must be so sick of that meme." Me:

The 2025 GeoGuessr World Championship was a big event in our house today. I can't wait for the 2026 Boston semifinals.

That moment you discover @mafiagame.bsky.social has a Sicilian language option.

Blue Sky seems like a lovely time management company. I just really wish I didn't end up on their website every time I try to log in here on a browser. 😬

I absolutely adore radio serials, which is why I wrote some for Fallouts 3 & 4. @duneawakening.bsky.social has some of the best I've ever heard in a game, with great writing, voice acting and sound design. More adventures of the O'Garee family, please.

I had no idea @bethesda was shadow dropping these Heretic and Hexen remasters. Decided to check them out, and found myself fully engaged for like three hours. Fun fact: Heretic has one of my favorite enemy death anims of all time - the Golem splits open and his soul flies out.

Tales of the Shire is about as far from @duneawakening.com as you can imagine, and exactly the palate cleanser I needed after the joyful hell that is Arrakis' Deep Desert. 🤓

Decided to jump into @duneawakening.com at lunch for 20 minutes just to blast over to the DD post-Coriolis Storm to launch a couple of probes. Then I saw the sandstorm wall moving in. I asked myself - can my jet-equipped ornithopter possibly outrun this? The answer is no. No it could not. 😆

Man, we're apparently still not through the batch of games made by leads who were convinced Soulslike combat was the way to go. And you know, sometimes, you just can't help but feel like they just didn't think it through...

Today my mind keeps drifting back to my disastrous Deep Desert run last night in @duneawakening.bsky.social. My cargo-equipped assault ornithopter was just ripped to pieces by an organized squadron of three rocket-armed PVP pirate ornithopters. I didn't stand a chance. It was amazing. 😂

Listening to @npr.org on the drive in, and one of their little instrumental zingers had me double taking my radio. Was that a little... Sabbath? Did they really slip in a little Paranoid? Methinks they did. Respect. 🤘

Playing the new RoboCop standalone DLC like RoboCop - @lenovo-legion-go.bsky.social and @getviture.bsky.social glasses. Basically feels like I'm playing on a 40" on my handheld. Pretty sick. (And no, I ain't shillin' - I buy all my own toys. 🤓)

Basically at the point in @duneawakening.bsky.social where I'm able to effectively play as Dune Batman, bringing justice to Arrakis one Harkonnen at a time. A good night patrol is awesome, mostly because the game is so good. As a player - totally immersed. As a dev - super impressed.

Worm sign in the neighborhood this morning. The run to my car was perilous! @duneawakening.bsky.social (And yes, you CAN find anything on Etsy... 😂)

"Whatcha doing tonight in @duneawakening.bsky.social?" "Oh, I'm just filling up my body box." "I don't know what that is..." "Oh, well, it's my box full of dead bodies! I keep it stocked so I can feed them into a machine and suck out that delicious water." "Gross." "DELICIOUS."

I've had quite the evening. @duneawakening.com

My experimentation in different profile pics was not exactly an unqualified success... 😂

The Wand Company's Pip-Boy, based on the one from the Amazon show, is such a great addition to my @BethesdaStudios games display. This thing is no joke. Functional and animated, it's the kind of high-tech toy. I would've killed for as a kid.

Cruising the dunes of Arrakis like the vampire lovechild of Furiosa and Boba Fett. @duneawakening.com (No, that's not my gun - it's an industrial-strength blood extractor.)

Last night in @duneawakening.com, I decided to ask that age old question: can a sandworm really get me if I cross the desert on a sandbike with an MK4 boost module? The answer is yes. Yes it can. Shai-Hulud!!

Quick breakfast in the sietch. @duneawakening.com

Decided to re-visit the 2000 Dune miniseries. What a trip. Costumes that are pure Jodorowsky, sets are old skool Dr. Who quality, and special effects straight out of Privateer 2. Still, it's very novel-accurate, and a young James McAvoy plays Paul's son in the sequel.

Why yes, I do like videogames.

Got back from an awesome vacation with my wife to a great Father's Day, when she gifted me a @woojer.bsky.social Haptic Vest 3. OMG and I thought outrunning a sandworm in @duneawakening.com was terrifying before. 😵 Craziest thing? Virtually no setup on console or PC. What a sick game changer.

"Babe, you good? I'm going to play Dune for a little bit. I just want to kill a bunch of guys and suck out their blood so I can stock my house with water." "You have issues." 😂 @duneawakening.com

My wife and I are having an amazing time chilling on our vacation... and she also respects that I'm suffering from acute Melange withdrawal. @duneawakening.com
