Another year, another Highlight Reel that showcases the Best Moments of the year! There were a lot of moments that contained some shenanigans, chaos, sadness, heartbreak, funny moments, and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrUg...

It's the Season 4 Finale of Sharing with Shellshock! Once again, we come together to talk about what we think are the Best Games of 2025! Which ones did we like the most, and what are our most anticipated games of 2026? www.youtube.com/watch?v=6io0...

Anyone play the game Dispatch? I really loved it. Here's Blonde Blazer. I don't think I nailed this piece. I tried some new techniques and I don't think they worked out quite right. @adhocstudio.com @criticalrole.bsky.social #dispatch #blondeblazer #criticalrole #game #videogames

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Trying not to dwell on weird comments but this response to my video "The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System" is next level. This should win some kind of award. This is a fifth grade playground burn, a troll I didn't know I was nostalgic for.
