When you discover a hole in your sock, there’s really only one thing to do.

How do I get rid of that thing that tells me I don’t exist unless I’m doing impossibly big things?

Doing RDR1 legend of the west challenges and had to kill a grizzly with a knife. Lmfao This was a much longer fight. I died many times before this.

As promised, here’s my Top 10 Games of 2025. I love how this list turned out! What a special year for games. 😊 sightingames.wordpress.com/2025/12/29/t...

Honorable mention usually means just that, a quick mention. But I refuse. The "Honorable Mentions" are so good these days that they still deserve to be highlighted. Thus, here are my favorite games this year that did not make my top 10. bignerdgaming.com/2025/12/29/b...

I’ll take ‘Clips That Aged Like Milk’ for $500, Alex!

Dear person at Sandfall who designed the Simon fight. I'm not sure what traumatic experience occurred in your life that led you to make that fight so difficult, but I hope you get the therapy that you need.

I just rolled credits on Expedition 33. That fucking ending! That's one of the most difficult choices I've had to make in a game. That ending is why this game captured the hearts of the industry. That shit hit me like a pillow case with bricks in it. Fuck, man.

ALERT: The Patriots win the AFC East!

I haven’t played video games in 10 days… Please send help.

IMO, there are certain games / franchises that you can't show any dislike toward publicly without getting people offended and coming at you. You can't joke about em You can't critique any part of em You gotta accept em as great or keep your mouth shut.

Better late than never. Here are my top 10 games of 2025. It has been a frankly grueling year, but I am grateful more than ever for video games to keep delivering the most emotionally resonant experiences to ever exist. pixelbytegaming.com/andresplays-...

It’s been a busy month of prepping for the holidays and dealing with one of the most stressful/exciting situations of my entire life (more details soon 👀) but I managed to sneak in some time to play Resident Evil 5. Here’s my review: sightingames.wordpress.com/2025/12/22/r...

It’s time for my top 20 villains of 2025. It’s been an interesting year, from depressed family members, to nihilistics, to returning rivals. Here are my top 20 big bads of the year. #gamesky #videogames #substack #awards #rankings

Love to see talented, hardworking pals highlighting talented, hardworking pals. Be SURE to check this one out!

Christmas in New England 😍

The MCU is just desperately, transparently key-jangling at this point… And I’m so falling for it.

25 Games I Will* Play in 2026: #10 and #11: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2 Continue working my way through the series. I think once I play KH2 there will finally be more KH4 news. Pretty sure they are just waiting for me to catch up 😏

I wrote my own original holiday song several years ago. Happy holidays and merry Christmas, everybody. ❤️ katelynnelogan.bandcamp.com/track/say-yo...

It's time for part 1 of 6 for my year end coverage! It's officially sicko season! First up, the 2025 Nerdys! Featuring prestigious awards like "most embarrassing game to play with my wife around" and many more! bignerdgaming.com/2025/12/22/t...

5 days. 2600 miles. We made it. We’re back.

Dare I say… Drake Maye looked Brady-esque last night.

Patriots win, clinch playoff berth! 💙❤️🩶🤍 #NEPats #NFL #BALvsNE

Day 2 of a 5-Day Cross-Country Move! Tried 2 new spots: — Bucc-ee’s — Cava Grill Both GAS! Exceeded expectations, even.

The internet when a female video game protagonist is a certified baddie.

The internet when a female video game protagonist isn’t gooner bait.

Alright. Now that I’ve killed 10s of hours packing up my virtual life in ARC Raiders… I should probably get around to packing up my actual life for our move this week.

Just heard a few guys talking Fallout at the coffee shop. The new season of the show. The games. The choices. Genuinely made me smile. Lot of shit gets talked about gaming, gamers, and our community. Heck, I talk a lot of that shit myself. But it’s such a special hobby. Such a joy to bond over.

When I do my awards, my general hope is for different games to top each category, because I love being able to showcase different games. But if one game ends up topping everything, it is what it is. I refuse to not actually rank how I feel. Because then the awards don't mean as much.

25 Games I Will* Play in 2026: #2: Mass Effect Another slam dunk choice that I definitely probably maybe did not say I would play this year 😂. Long overdue to play and I know I will absolutely adore it. It WILL happen next year

💥 Weeeee!

I always rewatch LOTR around the holidays, and now my oldest does too (last year was his first) I kinda want to play EVERY LOTR licensed game out there and make a video going over all of them 🤔

HOLY SHIT! I WON?! Take this as a sign, everyone. Load up your FanDuel accounts and BET THE BARN!

Forget GOTY. This is GOAT.

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

YOU’RE TELLING ME I MISSED THE REVEAL OF MOTHERFUCKING CONTROL 2?!?

The future is looking great for video games

Anything else would feel wrong.

Well earned!

I've come around on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This is an excerpt of my last Little Victories podcast of the year, out next week!

I'm lower on Tsushima than most. So I was ready to be "that guy" with Yotei as well. But then, something happened. Atsu, and the story as a whole, really won me over. This revenge tale is much more compelling than most. It helps that I also don't "smoke" anymore. bignerdgaming.com/2025/12/11/g...

I keep seeing so much wishful thinking with people’s hopes for what will be revealed at The Game Awards tonight. Now announce a remake of these games, you cowards.

AAA studios seeing this:

Red Dead Redemption #reddead #reddeadredemptionphotography #reddeadredemption

I love that DC is dropping their dark and gritty tone and making their movies fun again. youtu.be/YqdAEdkHrwo?...

GAME AWARDS ARE TONIGHT! The critical circle jerk admittedly matters very little to me. But Westen has put together the single coolest, most fun gaming community contest ever with this annual awards betting thing. It’s enough to get anyone excited. Be sure to join in the fun! There’s still time!

Brownie batter is SO MUCH BETTER than cooked brownies that it’s ridiculous. Should be studied, frankly.

Next week when Fallout season 2 drops.

So in red dead 1, you can skin horses along with other animals. Press triangle to skin. It’s also triangle to get on your horse. I rode my horse down a hill and he fell. I thought he’d get up and immediately pressed triangle. I skinned my favorite horse 🥲🥲🥲
