Reminding my friends that Arkham Origins is a Christmas game. #Arkham #Batman #Gaming

SteelSeries dropped a refresh of the Arctis Nova 7. 👀 This refresh makes a good headset even better, with a battery life boost and compatibilty with the Arctis companion app to easily swap audio profiles on the go. Big thanks to @steelseries.com for sending one my way!

I've used a LOT of gear over the years, but there are some things in my current setup that I couldn't imagine living without. From my teleprompter to my desk, here are five of my top picks for gear that's worth being on any content creator's setup wish list. 👇

⚡XEP 296 ⚡ Halo On PlayStation in 2026 | AI In Xbox Games | The Outer Worlds 2 Review Roundup | Guest: @jampacksam.com's Hands-On Halo Impressions | Enjoy!💚🎮 #Xbox #GamingNews Please LIKE & SHARE 🙏 iT: apple.co/2OL6SSV Sp: spoti.fi/33gSiXa YT: www.youtube.com/live/yZNFRJ5...

I’ve tried out a TON of keyboards over the years, but I’ve never used a one-handed keyboard… until now. The Lemokey L0 HE is packing some of the most popular PC gaming keyboard features into one of the most compact form factors out there. It won’t be for everyone, but it’s also not meant to be. 👇

@indieformer.com is one of the coolest people/ideas/communities that I've found in 2025. If you're into indie development stories and discovering new games, their newsletter is top notch. Highly recommend! 👇

I found a TON of cool stuff at this year's Southeast Game Exchange, but one of the best finds was Minibox Gaming. This is a company run by one guy that creates mini boxes for classic systems and handhelds to keep the beauty of that original box art alive. Absolutely stellar stuff. 👌

Me glued to my phone witnessing the never-ending stream of horrors beyond comprehension:

It’s been a busy month, but that means I’ve been putting the Secretlab MAGNUS Pro XL I was sent for review to WORK! ⬆️ Sit-stand adjustable height 👌 Built-in cable management 🔌 Integrated power supply It’s by far the best desk I’ve ever had, but it also TOTALLY changed the way I use my setup. 👇

A few weeks back I had the chance to head to Greenville, SC for Southeast Game Exchange 2025! It was a weekend packed with playing tons of games, hosting awesome panels, and finding some pickups that I had to bring home to the mancave. 👀

Between Fast Fusion, Donkey Kong Bananza, and a ton of Switch games I never got around to playing… it was time. Officially a Switch 2 household. 🫡

Gimme dat Battlefield beta

I've been testing out a little desk upgrade for the past few weeks! 👀 Secretlab sent me their TITAN Evo, a top-of-the-line gaming chair that's built for long working and gaming sessions. After two weeks with a LOT of 12-15 hour days... It's officially the best gaming chair I've ever had. 👇

Got my tickets locked and loaded for HCS Major Charlotte 2025! 🔥 Spending the weekend at HCS in 2022 is still one of my favorite gaming memories of all time, can’t wait to run it back in October for another round. Sending off @halo.gg Infinite in style. 🫡

⚡XEP Interview: Grounded 2 | Executive Producer Marcus Morgan and Game Director Chris Parker on #Grounded2 @obsidianent.bsky.social | @xbox.com | Enjoy! 💚🐜 iT: apple.co/2OL6SSV Sp: spoti.fi/33gSiXa YT: youtu.be/e_sjM8kMy44?...

Turtle Beach packed some impressive features into the Stealth 700 Gen 3 headset that still make it stand out from a crowded premium crowd. 👀 - 60mm drivers - Dual USB transmitters - Simultaneous audio Very solid stuff. Big thanks to @turtlebeach.bsky.social for sending a pair my way for review! 👇

It's so tempting a content creator in 2025 to just go all-in on shortform content. It takes me about 1-2 hours to create a shortform video vs. ~4-6 hours to create a longform video. Even on YouTube alone, the numbers don't lie. Here's my last 365 days:

Our Ruffy and the Riverside review is here! Code provided for review youtu.be/Dcm7N8XfRic?...

Transparent tech is back on the menu in 2025! 🔥 @teamrazer.bsky.social's Phantom Collection is slick, bringing a keyboard, mouse, mouse mat, and headset with that 90s and 2000s see-through look that's bringing the nostalgia. Big thanks to Razer for sending this gear my way to check out!

There are plenty of premium gaming headsets out there, but the newest addition to the @steelseries.com lineup is focused on delivering quality audio without breaking the bank. The Arctis Nova 3 is officially my favorite budget Xbox headset, hands down. 👇

The Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical might be the strangest mouse I've ever used... but it actually ended up being one that I love. It's 70% productivity, 30% gaming, and 100% cool that it exists. Big thanks to @teamrazer.bsky.social for sending one my way to check out!

Finished Expedition 33 and just sat on the couch like this for awhile

The CLVX 1 is a keyboard that doubles as a trackpad... as in, the keys are the touchpad. It's a trip to use and absolutely one of the most innovative pieces of tech in the keyboard space that I've seen in years. It's not perfect, but it's super impressive! 👇

As I've shared recently, Gears of War saved my life. Now, some added strength as a warning to all demons. A semicolon tucked in there. Keep fighting. Fight like hell. #GearsOfWar #DOOM

On a personal note: I’ve never enjoyed podcasting with someone more. I’m thankful for all the awesome discussions, laughs and fun times with a good friend over the last 2 years ❤️ Forever grateful my friend @jampacksam.com

Being a part of @savethegamemedia.bsky.social and Project XTalk has been an absolute blast. Hugely grateful for the last two years and for @themuff1nmon.bsky.social for putting up with me for so long! See you all in chat. 🫡

I yap about video games on the internet. A lot. I took a quick trip for a few days to get away, thinking "how much could possibly happen in three days!" Meanwhile, the last three days:

I have a bit of a thing for keyboards, so when I had the chance to go hands-on with the MelGeek MADE68 Ultra... how could I say no? This keyboard is like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it's packing some solid features as well. 👇

I made a video on Mafia: The Old Country (looks dope) and I called out that it’s “only $50,” which earned a lot of comments like this Yeah, $50 is still a chunk of change. But we’re living in a world with an $80 Mario Kart game. The times are changing.

We just keep eating with gamepass

DOOM: The Dark Ages has one of the coolest Collector’s Editions I’ve EVER seen. Huge thanks to @bethesda.net for sending one my way! 🔥

⚡Doom The Dark Ages Review | Rip, Parry, and Tear #DoomTheDarkAges @doom.com youtu.be/XcEPOfF94Bg?...

I beat DOOM: The Dark Ages. Let’s talk about the good, the bad, and the gory. And there’s a lot of gory. 🤘

Definitely not jealous of everyone going to PAX East this weekend. Absolutely not violently jealous.

With console prices going up and PC parts not getting any cheaper, the idea that EVERYTHING is a console makes more sense than ever. Let’s talk console prices, cloud gaming, and “This is an Xbox.”

Going into the weekend with an absolute boatload of gratitude. 10-year-old me watching X-Play and Attack of the Show could never even imagine the awesome things he'd be doing 18 years later. I'm always thankful for every single person along for the ride. ❤️

As part of our Good in Gaming initiative, we're happy to share this deeply personal story from guest contributor @insipidghost.bsky.social . Gaming means many things to many of us and in the case of Luke, Gears of War meant the difference between life and death. seasonedgaming.com/2025/05/02/a...

The @steelseries.com Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 is a compact keyboard without compromises... and now it's in white. 👀 Big thanks to SteelSeries for sending a unit over for review!

I'm in danger.

We finally got gameplay for Marathon, Bungie’s classic revamped as an extraction shooter. There’s a lot that I already love, but I’ve also still got some questions. Let’s talk about it.

Spruced up the YouTube channel a bit! New look, same dude yapping about games on the internet. 👌 I’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to really take things to the next level this year. Super excited to see it all coming together!

Decipher the spiritual world with us—Weaver and animancer. Huge congratulations to our friends at @compulsiongames.bsky.social on the launch of South of Midnight!

Got a little something from @bungie.net! 👀 Absolutely stoked to see #Marathon gameplay on April 12th! What are you wanting to see from Bungie’s newest game? HUGE thanks to Bungie for sending this stuff my way! #ad

I've been spending a lot of time with the new @steelseries.com Apex Pro Mini. 👀 The Mini does a LOT without taking up a ton of space on your desk. If you're looking for a mini gaming keyboard, this one is easy to recommend. Big thanks to SteelSeries for sending one over for review!

“The Switch 2 does 4K60 and 1080p120 in handheld mode, but Metroid is 720p120 in handheld mode and it’s using DLSS so it’s all just fake frames anyways. Also it’s gonna be $450 at launch or $500 if you want the Mario Kart bundle, but the preorders got delayed so they can see if the tariffs affec-“

Hearing @jampacksam.com tell me about it - got me even more excited to play South of Midnight!
