PODCAST UPDATES!!! We’ve been promising news on GameSpot podcasts and the day to deliver on that promise is here with two announcements! First up, I’m proud to introduce Kurt & Lucy Gotcha Covered.

After nearly 7 years working with the team at Nintendo Life, I'm stepping away to try something new ✨ I'll miss my colleagues, this community, and the freedom that Nintendo Life gave me to cover whatever I found important. It's truly been a dream come true, so thank you ♥

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

It’s been a *BEWILDERINGLY* good week for new game releases my lord

oOoOoOo

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is here, and it’s an impressive remaster of the classic PlayStation SRPG. For my review, I did something a bit different: Gathered your AMA-style questions, and spilled tea on the new graphics, Delita’s kissability/punchability, difficulty, and more!

🤔

I've played 30 hours of FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles. Despite having a couple of rough edges, I found myself enamoured with the job system and drawn in by the political intrigue of the story. If you haven't played a game in the FF Tactics series, this is a great entry point.

Picked up a FRICKIN’ grail this past weekend. Down below 50 to finish the set!

Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party is one of the best albums of 2025.

Me trying to get out of the pool without the ladder:

So every wrestler got their DraftKings brand deal this week, eh?

I played Negative Space at the Seattle Indies Expo a few weeks ago. It’s a deck builder about exploring outer space that isn’t focused on combat. It’s rad. Demo is on Steam - you should check it out. @werdnalt.bsky.social

I’m going to have to buy the stupid Starlink Kirby Air Riders Warp Star amiibo… I’m the problem, right?

Imagine delaying your game to get away from Silksong just to land at the same time as Hades 2
