not having an Ultron and Vision set of skins in the fortnite shop today was a mistake. They could have their human avatars as extra edits. Yes, I just want to be James Spader in Fortnite.

Would Drag X Drive have been more successful if it was Mario and Sonic at The Special Olympics? Like, actually licensed and highlighting the organization. This is only half a terrible joke.

Always a strange sensation waking up from a suspiciously realistic nightmare only to realize that it was 4 days that actually happened. But that nightmare's finally over, and now I'm wide awake.

You want to play a game that includes a fictionalized US city? That has cool vehicles? And guns? And side quests? And murders? With an open world? Well, for ten dollars less, and playable on a portable system, you could play Xenoblade Chronicles X! And it's physical! There's cool aliens and shit!

HYPERDROP is a mind-melting pachinko roguelite about big combos, big scores, and big balls, coming soon to Steam! Play the demo during the 'Pins & Pegs Fest' on Steam and wishlist now! Just. One. More. Drop.

Nintendo announced that they're shutting down Mario Kart Tour with no offline version planned. Looks like the game is finally being sent off to the Rainbow Road. As apparently the only person in video games who liked Tour, I'm pretty bummed about that! Lot of work just gone.

I haven't bought a physical media video game in about a decade and I honestly haven't missed it at all. I've lost more physical media than I have digital. As someone who moves every couple of years, it's nice not having all of that weight dedicated to packing boxes. Also: fuck second hand retailers.

People love physical media until you tie it to other things like Amiibo, then suddenly physical media is a scam. I think maybe it's less about the medium and more about the execution of it, but what the fuck do I know, I just like playing games.

Been on Spain for a few days for The Gay Games, participating as a wrestler. Lemme tell ya, this place is great. Valencia has been an absolutely wonderful city to explore and be in.

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

Great Direct today. Would have liked to see more of Duskbloods and Zelda, but I'm super excited for pretty much everything shown. PikuNiku 2, Fire Emblem, new Xenoblade, switch2 updates of the Xenoblade trilogy, that Final Fantasy game. Lots of good stuff!

I won't be in LA for summer games nonsense again this year for a number of reasons, like saving up for a trip to throw people in Spain at the end of the month! But having vacated the game journalism industry, it kinda bums me out. My new promise is that I'll be back as a developer.

Played this on stream a couple years back and had a great time. Happy to hear there's a sequel, and I super recommend this for FREE!

As a reminder, don't make any "life decisions" after 9 pm. This includes, but is not limited to, ending relationships, changing your career, evaluating your self worth, giving up on that diet.

They're putting a lot of Influencer types in the new 007 game and man. I didn't think I could be less inclined to care about this game. It'd be like if they put Ron Popeil in a Bond movie as Q. Wait, shit, that might have been good...

in my game, the more you use a weapon, the more durable it gets. eventually it fuses into your being, and you can never discard it again. even for the bathroom even for sex stuff. then you slowly turn into the weapon. after awhile, youre just a walking halberd. your mother no longer recognizes you
