Hey @timgettys.bsky.social and @snowbikemike.bsky.social - if you have any doubts about Bautista as Kratos - check him out in SEE: Season 3 - amazing work.

Today I spoke with Mitch McConnell - he disagreed with me about Sony’s decision to revoke consumer rights of ownership by killing physical media… but he did agree that the current swath of Xbox cuts has more to do with gross overspending and mismanagement on Phil Spencer’s watch.

I bought my first PlayStation in January of 1998. By December of ‘98 I was all into the lovely world of video game retail. With the tone deaf week Sony has had, it feels like I’m there at the end as well.

@blessingjr.bsky.social dude! I’m late to the party - but You’ve gotta get on The Two Towers and Return of the King. I’d make it a priority. I’d also recommend the extended version for the Two Towers - it flows much better.

The music hit as I highlighted an icon. I may have had to catch my breath. STARFIELD is my happy place - and now more gamers get to experience it. If half of you love it as much as I do, that’ll be a wonderful thing. Welcome PS5 captains… for all, into the Starfield! @starfield.bethesdastudios.com

In less than 24 hours - @playstation.com gamers will get the opportunity to dive into my favorite game of all time. I’ll be installing my own copy, and even after over a thousand hours - I’m madly anticipating the PS5 release of STARFIELD as though it were a new game. For all! Into the Starfield!

Bummed to hear that Spiders and Cyanide studios have both filed for insolvency. With Piranha Bytes already gone - there ain’t much left in that AA RPG space out of Europe.

Biggest complaint thus far - I can’t pet a Raccoon. #CrimsonDesert

So that may have been the weirdest launch day I’ve ever seen for a piece of physical software. And yet, after three or so hours - I’m loving this one. I also fully understand the mixed (generally positive) reviews. #crimsondesert

This is some serious bullshit right here. Why the heck wouldn’t you just street date the damn game for the 20th???

Hey @ubisoft.com - thanks for adding a fantastic third person mode for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - you’ve made my day. Now how about getting the 2009 xbox360 version added to Xbox back compatibility?

Hey @eurogamer.bsky.social, @gamesradarplus.bsky.social

I’ve been a follower for over a decade, I’ve gone out of my way to support games journalism where I can - but when I see clickbait headlines and “link in comments” posts. I’m done. I’m sure I’m far from alone.

Just food for thought.

Spending some time with this NES gem today.

So say some schmuck from the east coast of North America wrote some non fiction drivel based on 26-ish years of video game retail experience. Is that something people would actually read? Would they care? #videogames

So, real talk, I just finished Tristan’s companion quest line in The Outer Worlds 2. He went from a bland sidekick I could ignore to one of the all time great companions - that’s some DAMN FINE writing, @obsidianent.bsky.social. BRAVO!
November 4, 2025 at 12:53 AM
Hey @obsidianent.bsky.social - thanks so much for including 3rd person perspective in Outer Worlds 2.

For what it’s worth, that got a preorder out of me.

Ok, I’m actually really digging this one. Is it technically astounding? Nope. Is it the worst game this year? Also nope. It IS an action adventure with story and characters that feel ripped right off of a lost PS3 hard drive - I mean that in the best way possible. #videogames, #mindseye

On this day, 14 years ago; Microsoft torpedoed the good faith and rapid upward trajectory of the xbox360 with one of the worst E3 conferences in the history of E3. It would divide and confuse their fanbase, and cause ripples still felt today. #kinectstillsucks

“…These are the closing days of the third era, and the final hours of my life…”

*MUSIC SWELLS*

Gets me every. Damn. Time.

Thank you, @bethesdastudios.com and Virtuous studios.

Hey @timgettys.bsky.social and @blessingjr.bsky.social

Thanks for the shoutout!

It’s pronounced NOOFIN-LAND.

And NOOFIN-Landers.

Cheers fellas!

Getting close, I think. 70+ hours, and one of the best dang games I’ve played - absolutely LOVED my time in Eora, and I’m hungry for more.

Every corner of the games vast maps feel hand crafted by someone who just wanted players to find something cool. It’s been amazing! @obsidianent.bsky.social

Snow day!!!!

So, I found a flaming sword! This game is incredible, and quickly becoming one of my faves of this generation.
