I typically take some time off in December but my day job's usual break isn't until January this year so I'm keeping at Luck Stat stuff on the side. Anyway, very close to finishing writing this one

This is it, man. This is the shit that makes me love video games

Shout out to Mammoth for having the opening and closing song this year. The End might be my album of the year, Wolfie’s the best.

With the Ace Combat news please don’t forget about one of the best videos on YouTube youtu.be/-62NhADy35U?...

Time to bring back this classic

Thinking about Orville Peck and Roman Reigns in the same room on set for the Street Fighter movie. What do you think those guys talk about?

Big “never kill yourself” moment

“He’s Miyamoto to me” my wife on Kojima

What's great about the internet is that if I want to order chicken online, I'm forced to subject myself to emails that say "Oh boy, it's chickie time!" every day for the rest of my goddamn life.

NEW VIDEO: In 2010, Irrational Games worked on an FPS reboot of XCOM. It did not go well youtu.be/_tjVGh7gfdk

Hard at work this evening

This is my most anticipated video of the year

Honest to god one of the most insane interviews I have read from any gaming CEO and it’s like a personal hobby of mine. What the fuck.

Every time I see something about John Carmack I’m reminded that he’s not an epic hacker god and more a sociopathic loser. Anyway, let this be a reminder that queer folk have always been in games despite what capital G Gamers will tell you.

Lurking in the half life subreddit these past couple days has been a joy. Pic related

If I made one of the best soundtracks in gaming history I would simply not spend my whole life being a fucking loser but what do I know

Still thinking about Predator Badlands

Predator: Badlands (2025)

NEW VIDEO: The 1991 Wizardry Anime Is Awesome. youtu.be/77ffG1Ukaug?...

I think about this @tolkoto.com reaction a lot.

If you're going to steal my video at least edit out the part where you leave in my first and last name in the intro, for fuck sake.

I need a cigarette and I don't smoke and I'm not a fan of either of these teams

10 years ago, I released my first YouTube video. I decided to write about it. luckstat.com/freeplay/f/t...

I should buy a CRT

To be fair on the list of games that are in dire need of any form of rerelease Scarface is pretty damn close to the top of the list. The game has whole settings dedicated to it inside emulators only for it to still run like shit. Anyway here’s me covering it in 2023. youtu.be/BxoAIoyyQXI?...

I prayed for times like these

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources! I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

I shouldn’t be allowed to watch post season baseball. I like yelling at the tv too much and think I can catch anything because I used to play t-ball.

So much of what Star Wars looks like to me is Drew Struzan. Sad to see a legend go

Ubisoft making Assassins Creed 3: America was founded on the genocide of innocent natives slaughtered at the hands of white slavers you’ve been raised to admire Ubisoft nowadays: won’t someone think of the racists

Reviews of Bioshock in 2007: “a nuanced and complicated game with moral ambi—“ Me playing Bioshock:

I do not have great faith in American democratic processes in ideal times. But these are mechanisms we can participate in with or without faith. We're flipping a light switch in the hopes (often against belief) that all the infrastructure behind the switch still works and is going to effect change.

*Hint*

It was a magical time.

Between Disney and Kimmel, the EA deal and the scope creep of this one, I think I'm going to put it on hold. Something tells me this story isn't over and at least one studio isn't going to survive the transition. In the meantime, I've started work on a highly requested video so I'll see ya soon

Why do we insist on making Wolverine’s costume look like armor? He’s got a healing factor and is basically a human weasel. Let’s put the little weirdo in some spandex please

We fluked into wrestlepalooza tickets through my wife’s work this evening. Nice to support some Women’s Wrongs (and Paul Heyman)

Someone at the other place posted this screenshot from #Wrestlepalooza

What's great about the incoming fall of American democracy is that I'll be spending it clicking on "yes I disabled my adblocker" pop-ups until the secret police gets me

NEW VIDEO! Diving around with dual pistols and rocking a leather jacket as a I take out the criminal scum that plague the streets of my city…but on mobile! youtu.be/SQSXdV807E8?...

The cancelled what now

The highlight of my morning was briefly thinking they were delaying Metroid Prime 4 into 2026 and launching a Metroid Kart Racer this year instead

Ping us if you see Krystal in the next hour.

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials. My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

Drunk skeeting from the tiki bar to say despite what the comment section will tell ya, Borderlands 3 honks

These past few months I’ve been picking up some books that I read digitally in single issues for the collection. Really excited to have this Evan Shaner and Tim Sale variants of the newer Worlds Finest series (which is one of my favorites)

NEW VIDEO: Inside Borderlands' last-second art style change that saved it from being another brown and gray shooter on the Xbox 360 youtu.be/WYRTT5AVbIA

New video tomorrow
