Thanks @geoffkeighley.bsky.social you’re always kind with your time and these opportunities to contribute my part to the space of video games.

I was on this reaction stream, hope you watched! Been a crazy day and haven’t had a chance to talk about it. Very excited for P6 and Magicians, and super happy for a Castlevania release date.

My first time attending a @giantbomb.com shindig and this accurately captures the energy @mylesobenza.bsky.social has always described. 🍻😂

And work nights (so much to edit tonight)

Had a great chat with one of the Senior Game Designers on the @magic.wizards.com Marvel Commander Decks! stay tuned for more on that at @templeofgeek.bsky.social

the fun doesn’t stahp 🎉

@messhof.bsky.social Blood Dungeon is a trip!!! Once you enter a flow state it’s a blast!

Let’s go to work!

Happy Monday! What did everyone play this weekend? Any milestones in the game(s) you’re playing?

Destiny Helped Me Overcome Shyness in Online Gaming

Shout out to @fangamer.com and @redcandlegames.bsky.social for the sending me the physical version of Nine Sols! This is one of my favorite games to recommend folks looking for a fresh metroidvania to try.

I hit a big milestone today with 500 subscribers on youtube and it means the world to me. I wanted to take a moment to show and share my gratitude for all the support and the many people in this journey that have made it so special. 🙏 Thank you 🥹

Finding The Right Emotional Balance in Pragmata chatting with @davidmenkin.com about his performance as Hugh

Reimagining Batman: A New Voice @shaimatheson.bsky.social had to embrace all the previous Batman and none of them at the same time. 🦇

I loved this conversation largely because of what @davidmenkin.com shared regarding his connections with Sci-Fi and how it resonates with him. Pragmata really surprised me in a refreshing way and a big part of it was the character work between Hugh and Diana. www.youtube.com/watch?v=poX-...

LEGO Batman: A Love Letter to Batman with @shaimatheson.bsky.social

I think the conversation around games that go early access is changing and how players are connecting with them is something I wanted to talk through. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9Kb...

I interviewed Batman! My interview @shaimatheson.bsky.social reminded me what it means to celebrate and elevate the things we love and bring it forward. Really enjoyed the conversation and insights (and hope you do to!)

Mina the Hollower by @yachtclubgames.bsky.social hit something I was itching for some time and I'm stoked to see and hear how everyone's adventures vary as they play it ^_^ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd3S...

Mina the Hollower isn’t trying to recreate retro games. It’s trying to understand why they worked. Loved my chat with Nick from @yachtclubgames.bsky.social and learning so much of what goes into the development of their games.

Imagine my luck when @mylesobenza.bsky.social and I happened to just preview the SAME GAME at the SAME TIME 🤯

MagicCon: Las Vegas brought in an incredible crowd with an impressive show of talent, with cosplayers showcasing their work! templeofgeek.com/magiccon-las... #magicconlasvegas #magiccon #lasvegascosplay

Today’s In-flight Entertainment

You can see, feel, and hear everyone’s hand in the making of @mixtapegame.bsky.social

Here’s my preview at @butwhytho.net if you’re curious butwhytho.net/2026/04/hand...

This is what we train for people. All the interviewing drills. Building to this one day, one interview, one room. (I'm not gonna shut up about @mixtapegame.bsky.social for a whileeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

"The music is going somewhere, and you're going with it." This game did so many wonderful things in so many amazing ways. I am excited to hear how everyone enjoys this game.

Monthly Games Guide: May 2026 templeofgeek.com/monthly-game...

Carpooling with @kujoprime.bsky.social to MagicCon and he busted out the AYN Thor. Naturally I had to check out Yoshi’s Island

I also interviewed 007 First Light's narrative director Martin Emborg about Bond's legacy and how they approached their take on the character, the challenges of crafting an origin story, and learned the Lenny Kravitz's Bawma is in fact not the main big bad after all: kotaku.com/007-first-li...

For @kotaku.com: I played over 3 hours of 007 First Light and came away pretty excited. It treads a lot of familiar ground if you've played games like Uncharted, but what it offers is still extremely fun. The story, music, and characters are top notch. Full preview: kotaku.com/over-3-hours...

Did my first Game Mess Mornings today! Thanks to Giant Bomb and @grubb.wtf for having me, really enjoyed our conversations. It's always fun getting to chat with the GB guys and doing so officially is just icing on the cake.

i had the opportunity to review Moomintroll: Winters Warmth❄️❄️ if you want more whimsy in your life, pls read what i had to say about this cozy game! probably my best/favorite piece ive done so far 🥹 thank you to @hypergames.no & @popagenda.co for the code! 🫶🏽✨️🫶🏽✨️🫶🏽 smashpad.com/moomintroll-...

Had a really cool opportunity to visit the @square-enix-games.com office recently to preview Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the Switch 2 ^_^ www.youtube.com/watch?v=hea8...

Dosa Divas by @outerloopgames.bsky.social feels like a meal made with care. Even if every bite does not fully land, it is still one worth sitting down for.
