Once the ants show up you know you’re in business.

He talks about conversations with friends and family as being nourishment for the soul. That’s a well-adjusted man right there who values his relationships with others.

Congratulations on the new opportunity! What an incredible run. You built up an enormous amount of trust and goodwill over your tenure at IGN and in the industry. Excited to see where you go next!

This is actually helpful news for my job. As my department is likely going to be receiving and influx of service requests for these folks. My heart goes out to all the developers affected.

Well I’m definitely adding the Daiso to my next KC trip itinerary, right after Arthur Bryant.

I love this. But seriously John I hope you and the DF Crew are hanging in there today. While I don’t agree with Rich and Oliver’s assessment of DLSS 5, the amount of hate DF is getting over it feels outsized. We appreciate y’all, even when we respectfully disagree.

Amen! Also a terrific example of why editing is important. Those intercuts at the end while Bob is getting subsumed by the robot’s goo-balls is super cool.

Bummer, this is really too bad. Whedon’s issues aside, the original series still remains fresh and fun even today. I hope there are Zoomers out there with Scooby Gang or UC Sunnydale apparel. Goodness knows I see enough of ‘em rocking that Friends merch.

I have no skin in this game, as I’m not much of a Pokémon fan. But objectively speaking Pombon seems like a very good boy and I would 100% choose him.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the bright yellow box art as well? So many games now are variations on black, gray, green and purple. Wolverine looks terrific here. Definitely adding a physical copy to my collection for this one.

The pairs figure skating team from Georgia just did a Mortal Kombat themed routine scored, in part, by Spandau Ballet’s ‘True’. Komplete with Flawless Victory soundbyte for the konclusion. Just terrific.

This loss seems to have been felt acutely across the industry. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has come up with a good reason why a talented studio skilled in making Sony’s IP shine would be unceremoniously shuttered only 4 years after being ACQUIRED. Make it make sense.

Genuinely gutted over this decision. I was disappointed and confused when the GoW live-service news broke. This makes even less sense. What an absolute waste of incredible talent.

Worst Sony generation ever.

RIP to Hideki Sato, designer of Sega console hardware including my beloved Dreamcast and the GOAT Genesis/Mega Dive. Hearing the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack and realizing now how connected that sound was to the hardware…we lost a great one this week.

Started off the morning by showing my kid a YouTube video if my first roller coaster. To me, it looks so small now in comparison; but his first words were “Wow that’s a big roller coaster!” Perspective is important.

MinnMax made it to $200K for their neighbors in the Twin Cities. Simply incredible.

ICE Out of Minneapolis! You all are amazing, and we're just getting started....

It was technically announced, so maybe delayed? If it’s still alive it has to be something special, right? Right…?

I never pegged you as a cold-blooded killer. What a shot, though!

That was super fun! Also you’re really good at Mario Kart, Logan.

Minor key Christmas music is for those late night, contemplative brandy by the fire Christmas moments. You know, when the ghosts visit you.

Summing up the install lifespan of Skyrim’s Switch 2 version, in GIF form:

I love this kind of stuff. John’s ‘History of Video Game Water’ video from years back is one of my all-time favorite things y’all have put out. Looking forward to checking this out!

This is so cool! Shoutout to Dropout as well for regularly featuring Erica and many other great folks. 100% worth the sub (or sanctioned share).

First look at Link and Zelda is really cool. Like the colors and vibes. Plus, New Zealand is such an unbelievably beautiful and striking landscape. No wonder everyone’s buying up bunkers there!

I say this as someone who really likes this series, but I don’t feel the general public really digs Horizon. Honestly the rep amongst most gamers is that it’s the game that always gets dunked on by an all-timer. So good news: a new Horizon means a masterpiece is coming.

Incredible job getting this scoop. Congrats to you and the rest of the DF Crew for the excellent work! I’m so excited to check this out.

I am also a bit disappointed in the screen quality, but I find myself using the system in docked mode a lot more often than I did with my OLED. Having a reliable 1440p-4K image on my TV is a big improvement over Switch 1. The backwards compatibility performance has also been a nice surprise.

When you just need to settle in and get some work done, you know it’s time for Basaid Island playing on infinite repeat.
