I met 5 new best friends tonight, all dressed as Sonic. My favorite was a Shadow the Hedgehog that pointed at me and said "You're a Big Sonic." I told him he knows where to find me once he becomes a Big Shadow.

I, an adult man dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog, just gave candy to a child dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Immortals of Aveum sure was good.

"Millennial"

Ahh so Bloomberg has a piece today claiming that they're the first to report Xbox is aiming for a 30% profit margin? Inside Games is the only gaming news show brave enough to have reported that over a year ago. youtu.be/v5E1flUjXeo

Day 2 of trying to think my pee into different colors is a bust but I have time.

Me and @sirlarr.bsky.social talked about the week in gaming news including Battlefield 6 doing crazy numbers, some senators not being happy about Saudi Arabia buying EA and more: youtu.be/yrSoC2OXDXA?...

I just can't believe you'd say that about my brand.

The ROG Xbox Ally X is a fascinating device - great hardware, but that software needs a LOT of work before it approaches console ease of use. Bruce and I cover all aspects of this unique handheld on Inside Games: www.youtube.com/watch?v=awRv...

This seems to be a trend? Namely, spin-off studios founded by ex-triple-A developers losing funding before shipping anything.

I played a very bad man in "It Only Leaves One Alive," a horror audio experience. The script really plays with horror tropes in a fun way. Check it out and let me know what you think! youtu.be/0G4BlyyLZkk?...

Nintendo is becoming more like Disney by the day. The second they do a Nintendo Cruise I know my old ass is gonna be there. youtu.be/rsufGY5I8jA?...

Great moments in PC gaming: I found the case fan that was causing a slight rattle.

I agree! Most games are overlong these days - not really a bad thing if you want to get your money's worth, but there are SO many games now and you can understand a game's soul within a few hours. Also PC Game Pass is still out here for almost half the price!

Unexpected benefit of jet lag - waking up at 4:30 am to hear my neighbor drunkenly screeching Lady Gaga in their back yard. I missed you, Los Angeles!

The consequences of Xbox's Game Pass price hikes aren't pretty, with cancelation traffic likely causing website disruptions and retailers like Gamestop landing solid meme dunks. youtu.be/3wDekoJMo68

Today was a quad day.

Our coverage of the Game Pass price increase is doing some numbers on YouTube, nice. We did get one bit wrong - Xbox Rewards redemption limits existed before this revamp. I saw multiple folks claiming to have banked multiple years of Ultimate from points though, pretty cool. youtu.be/41z_fMkoZrI

While examining rail maps in Tokyo I said "Oh good we're on the right track" before realizing that's literally what the phrase means.

Seated for the Monster Rock n Roll show at Universal Japan.

Did the tourist-mandated McDonald's stop in Japan. The shrimp nuggets are so good 😭

Steam Roulette is BACK (for the third time). We hit gold right away. I don't wanna spoil it but there are boobs AND toilets. youtu.be/wdIM8K0zSUo?...

I was gonna say where's the crying Statue of Liberty but then...

Gonna start saying "Lefty Locky Righty Releasey" just to fuck with society.

I made it kyodais. Lemme see if I can find the gate just navigating from memory...

AaaAaAAAaaA!!!

The ROG Xbox Ally price announcement has followed a similar trend - everyone says it's ridiculously expensive, and then it sells out right away. I'm worried about lacking affordable points of entry to "premium" (aka non-gatcha) games. youtu.be/60ffyE_8QkI

The sights of #TGS - a game controlled with an inflatable whale. Awesome

Doing my best Kiryu Kick for my first TGS day. Let's see some GAMES!

I finally found the DDR machine for me.

I just walked through Tokyo Station listening to The Prodigy and pretending that I'm a slick John Wick assassin dude. It was very cool and so am I.

Beware of people with clipboards! They are secretly giggling demon people.

Yeah... with all the choice available right now I can see how the juice ain't worth the squeeze. Unless you're a mastered gamer like me of course.

Got to Act 2 of Silksong. It really has that Ninja Gaiden feel, where a boss two shots you in five seconds and you feel like it's total bullshit until you focus on playing defensively and observing. Then everything starts to unfold and it feels great.

I finally made it! Just like E3, #tgs always seemed like it was on another planet. I can't wait to walk around and drink it in. If you see me wandering around don't hesitate to say hi!

Damn I thought for sure this rapture was gonna be the one. Somehow people that pray a bunch and watch too much Tiktok got this one wrong!

They cubed fish

I'm about to experience real living

Japanese driver just apologized to Steph and I for giving a short honk to a car that was stopped in the way.

I got a 14 hour flight in front of me and an ROG Ally loaded up with Silksong. Time to go to some dark places.

Damn this is gonna set new records of controller-on-the-lap even by Kojima standards. I'm so in though. Gimmie the unexpected and intense.

Rapture gonna hit while I'm on a plane. This means I'll get there first and get the best cloud to sit on. Suck it losers!

Behold the awesome might (and HEFT) of the ROG Astral GeForce RTX™ 5080 DOOM Edition. I'm building a PC live with this monster, and then we're going to unleash it on Doom: The Dark Ages. Watch live! lawdogg.tv #GeForcePartner #RTXON

Spending more time with a hood classic on the stream today - Chrono Trigger! I'm trying to overwrite my flawed first playthrough of the game on a scuffed emulator. I'll also cook up a fine meal thanks to a Hello Fresh partnership! See the gamer's hands at work - lawdogg.tv #hellofreshpartner #ad

Our YouTube views AND ad revenue fell off a cliff in early August. If the wind doesn't change soon, it could be really bad. Here's our report on the issue - youtu.be/tWKTC0nVI10

Uncle Mark always saying some shit like this.

Time to crack into Brazilian Drug Dealer 3, now that the vision is complete. Hopefully y'all finished Brazilian Drug Dealer 1 & 2 - lawdogg.tv

I've hit the epilogue in Expedition 33 and am still waiting for a transcendent moment. I've enjoyed the hell out of it, but I haven't seen whatever it is that makes it GOTY just yet. Maybe today's the day I bawl my eyes out? lawdogg.tv Sponsored by Hello Fresh: strms.net/hellofresh_s... #ad
