The last month or so I’ve felt pretty burnt out, specifically on the website. I’ve written nearly 850 articles in 20 months, not to mention the back end stuff, emails etc etc. Thankfully I’m feeling recharged and super motivated for us to kill it in 2026. Sometimes you just need to recharge.

Was hoping these were going to come before the end of the year but they are here now. A bit disappointed Like A Dragon wasn’t an actual statue but like the other pack ins. The Shin Megami steelbook is gorgeous though. #Xbox

Gonna try this #promosky out! Hey everyone my name is Dan, but most call me Danno. I am the owner of a gaming site @gamersocialclub.ca and an avid Xbox collector and achievement hunter. Let’s connect and talk games as it’s going to be a great year for all us gamers!

It’s 2026 so time for a yearly update on the Xbox collection. The Xbox One/Series collection is up to 433 games, a 27 game increase from a year ago, the same increase as last year oddly enough. Here’s to another year of showing some Xbox gamers do indeed buy games!

Got a bunch of GSC related goals for the New Year but also some personal ones and the big one is to use Bluesky more but there’s more. Complete 25+ 2026 titles Continue to grow the Xbox collection Attend one of the big gaming conventions (SGF, PAX) Think these are all obtainable

Got our Ninja Gaiden 4 review up. It’s a banger

As long as I have a platform I will continue to advocate for physical games. Awesome to report Xbox is listening and putting these games out with a disc again. gamersocialclub.ca/2025/08/02/t...

Not sure why I suddenly got an influx of followers but hello to you all! I keep saying it but I really gotta start coming here more.

Been waiting a long time for this to show up. The art and music in South Of Midnight is fantastic and I’m stoked that this is the newest piece to my collection. Only negative is they didn’t send me the signed copy (heard it wasn’t even signed anyway) Compulsion deserves a lot of love here

Happy Father’s Day to all the fellow Dads out there. Sucks that I’m working but is what it is. Before I left my kids gave me this cool Sea Of Thieves artbook. Haven’t added an artbook to the collection in awhile! It’s cool seeing the things Rare have added over the years

Weekend is here! What are we all playing? It’s all The Alters for me this weekend. So far it’s quite enjoyable and I’m excited to see where it goes.

Been finally getting around to the yard now that it’s nice out. I have a cardinal that comes to this bird bath all the time for a drink and incase it’s my friend that passed earlier this year I’ve planted some of her favourite flowers so she can enjoy them as she drinks ❤️

Never thought I’d be reviewing Doom a year into this, but here we are! My Doom: The Dark Ages review

Been trying to get this story for awhile and finally got it. It won’t matter to most, but if you are a physical collector, especially on Xbox you will want to read it.

I didn’t do the review but have been playing some Revenge Of The Savage Planet already and it’s an absolute blast to play. Highly recommend based on what I’ve played

While May is finally a bit of a slower month for the AAA giants outside of Doom & Elden Ring, it’s a pretty stacked month for indies & AA. Hopefully a lot of people give these types of games a shot, they are usually hidden gems!

What’s everyone playing this weekend? I’m working unfortunately but my focus will be on Doom: The Dark Ages. Also got a fair bit of content coming for another game next week that I can’t talk about.

So the reason I have to pause my Clair Obscur playthrough? I’ll be reviewing Doom: The Dark Ages for @gamersocialclub.ca Embargo is up May 9th at 10am EST. See you then slayers!

Looking for some genuine input here from you all, especially if you are an achievement or trophy hunter. What do we think of this format for this type of content? Is it missing anything you’d want? Let us know please!

Getting some nice weather so been busy getting the outside ready. Added the gazebo and rug this year. But all I can think about is getting back to Clair Obscur tonight

Well I was gonna wait a bit before grabbing a copy since I have so much coming but Clair Obscur is too good to not give some extra support. #Xbox

@andewnk.bsky.social hey Andrew, hoping you can reach out via email/DM’s to help me out with an inquiry. Thanks!

I don’t use this platform as much as I like, it’s hard starting from scratch. But I do still pop in here to see what you all are up to that have made the switch.

@iocat.bsky.social hey Chris, can you reach out via DM or email to help me with a query regarding Xbox’s supposed minimum print requirements? Been trying to get to the bottom of this for awhile now with many companies saying they can’t print on Xbox due to high minimum requirements. Thanks!

Think this is the favourite shot I took from South Of Midnight. Game should be in the conversation for best art direction come end of the year. #Xbox

My South Of Midnight review is up. Game is fantastic other than its repetitive combat. Definitely worth a play! #Xbox

Had to get it shipped from Europe but finally got my hands on Two Point Museum. I absolutely love this franchise so can’t wait to dig in. Now to find time to play it….#Xbox

What’s everyone playing this weekend? Here in Ontario we’re experiencing a significant ice storm. So far we’ve avoided it but we’re hunkered down, just hope the power stays on. If it does I’ll be working on my South Of Midnight coverage. What about you? #Xbox

My weekend is finally here which means…. I’ll be playing South Of Midnight for our review at Gamer Social Club. Review as well as some other content will be up April 3rd at 12pm EST. Thanks to @xbox.com & @compulsiongames.bsky.social for the early access. And yes I’m playing on #Xbox

2 weeks to go until South of Midnight launches (less if you get the premium upgrade). Where’s your hype level at for #Xbox’s next game?

My name is Dan and this is my #promosky. I’m the owner of Gamer Social Club and am an avid gamer. Some of what I love: ⭐️Xbox ⭐️Physical games ⭐️Gears Of War ⭐️single player games ⭐️baseball ⭐️hockey ⭐️basketball ⭐️video game art ⭐️shooters ⭐️writing ⭐️big brother ⭐️being Canadian Hope to connect with yall

Last year we reached 100k views in 9 months and that felt amazing. This year we’ve reached the 100k milestone in less than 3 🤯 truly blown away and humbled by how far we’ve come in such a short time. Thank you everyone who supports us

Really sick of that other platform lately. Just wanna talk the love of games not all the toxic nonsense. Sucks that’s where my following is, feels like I’m stuck there because of it. Anyway I’m playing Assassins Creed Shadows and loving it.

What’s everyone playing this weekend? It’s more Split Fiction and Monster Hunter Wilds for me. Got my son’s bday party tomorrow as well with family coming down so busy weekend!

Started Split Fiction lastnight. If the rest of the game keeps this up I don’t know how anything else tops it for GOTY. Simply incredible stuff so far. #Xbox

One month til another Compulsion game is released 😍 can’t wait for this. A day later is Conmandos Origins as well. Too many games. #Xbox

Alright everyone what are we playing this weekend? I’ve got so many things on the go my head is spinning. The plan is Split Fiction and Monster Hunter Wilds when I’m not working/family time. What about you?

In the last couple weeks GSC has gotten access to: Avowed Split Fiction Lost Records Like A Dragon Two Point Museum A few things we can’t talk about We are never entitled to anything but it feels great and humbling to get the recognition from the publishers. The hard work is paying off.

Just swamped with gaming content these days. Between actually playing these games, writing guides and tons of stuff behind the scenes it’s a lot. Tomorrow is Split Fiction time. It’s top of my list so will stop Wilds and LAD. I hate playing multiple games at once 😭

I’ve gotta say I was not expecting to be as interested in the Monster Hunter Wilds story as I am. They did a great job making it more intriguing than Worlds imo.

A year ago today I launched the Gamer Social Club. I had no idea what to expect nor did I really know what I was doing (let’s be honest I still don’t). Thank you so much to anyone who has supported us. Whether it was one visit or you visit us everyday it means the world to have your support.

It’s been a hell of a day but always nice to come home to a new game. Seriously though where am i gonna find time to play all these gems. Another steelbook too 😍 #Xbox

Everyone’s been having the conversation for months about games getting out of GTA6’s way. We probably should have been saying the same about Monster Hunter Wilds

Finished watching Reacher with the wife then booted up LAD: Pirate Yakuza while she scrolled her phone before bed. She kept looking up at it then after about 15 minutes she says “are you gaming or did you start a movie you haven’t pressed a button yet”. Yup it’s a game and its awesome #Xbox

I’ve now personally published 10 reviews on Gamer Social Club so I went to see how my scores stacked up vs MC to see. Only one really crazy off is Outcast 2 which I loved 🤷‍♂️. Maybe I just like games too much

My Lost Records tape 1 review is up. Like I said earlier this was so tough to review. The game is great but without having the payoff of the whole game it is hard to properly judge. Lost Records might be special, we just gotta wait til April to find out. #Xbox

Heading to bed early tonight but with Lost Records done (review up tomorrow) it’s time for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii. I loved Infinite Wealth but couldn’t finish it with how long it was. Glad this is much shorter. So far so good. #Xbox

After creating 19 guides totalling 10,000 words and about 200 photos Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is complete. Now onto the review tonight. #Xbox

I should finish up Lost Records tonight or tomorrow. Gonna be a tough one to review but I’ll give it a go. I’m enjoying it so that’s not the reason it will be tough, but the game is 99% about the story so hard not to spoil and it’s only half the game atm. #Xbox

What’s everyone planning on playing this weekend? I’ll be doing more Lost Records. My carpal tunnel is in full beast mode writing all these guides but I’m quite enjoying it, the game that is. #Xbox
