Happy Easter to everyone except that fucking stiff Craig Breslow

they have genuinely lost their minds

The last 3+ years at Engadget were truly among the happiest I've had in this line of work, and I know the team there will continue being amazing at what they do. But media is media, and I'm looking forward to this new opportunity. Alright that's enough talking about myself now.

Work-related note: I'm now writing for Yahoo full-time as part of their Yahoo Tech vertical. Still covering + reviewing lots of consumer tech -- much of it gaming, but also phones, laptops, audio, accessories, etc. Any PR folks following me in those fields, get in touch!

well i guess we deserved one of these after the 20 years of being annoying. probably the worst offensive SB performance i've ever seen. at least Seattle is a likable team, congrats to Seahawks fans.

right! closer to QA than anything

obviously don't abuse but if you think a game sucks, you should say it sucks! "appreciation" is the enemy of criticism

this is a bad reviewer, actually

how do i reconcile liking that Geese album with the fact that i live in actual Long Island City and genuinely enjoy it here

Work-related note: I am on paternity leave for the next two months. I’ll be back at Engadget starting March 2.

using grok to do an epic vulgar roast of all my friends

it's with mixed emotions that i can confirm nursing pillows make for great lap desks

truly cannot express how funny it is that people spent a couple years torching their life savings on shitty drawings of apes. just the worst monkey pics you've ever seen. how could anyone have expected things to get better for us after that

as an american who recently had a kid, the only attainable goal i have left in life is, of course, to finish in the top 10k in Fantasy Premier League. it's year 11 for me, previous best rank is 22k, last year was 76k (which was enough for top 1%). here's my team to start the year:

The best Nintendo Switch 2 games for 2025 Load up your new console with excellent games for all kinds of players.

waxed poetic about FAST FUSION for our new list of Switch 2 game recs www.engadget.com/gaming/ninte...

my 1-month old has only shit on our wall three times thus far and tbh i think those are pretty good defensive numbers on my part

tired: sleep while your baby sleeps
wired: run anaglyph deck at 2:30am while your infant keeps you up all night

he’s only gone and done it lads

microsoft branding a studio as "AAAA" only to have it spend 7 years building a game that doesn't ship before it cans the whole staff seems like the perfect microcosm for the video game industry in 2025

also yet another reminder that Final Fantasy 13 came out at the wrong time, since that one also had 20 hours of plot wheel-spinning and aggressively linear "world" design. but it didn't bring it all home the way this one does (and its dopamine hits weren't as fine-tuned)

was pretty set on a 4 or 5/10 here but that third act really is pretty bold. turned the whole thing around for me

i moved from boston to new york about a decade ago, and the only persistent belief i've held about this city over that time is that knicks fans deserve every ounce of torment that ever befalls them

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (PC) It’s 1:30 in the morning, and I can’t sleep. I’m streaming XS Manchester, soon to die, from 3,300 miles away. “Hand in My Pocket” plays after a Tesco ad. The monitor g…

here is a 100-word review / some bad poetry on the reflective qualities of EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2 jeffreviewsgames.wordpress.com/2025/05/10/e...

i'm liking CLAIR OBSCUR: EXPEDITION 33, but the "we have Moogles at home" and "we have 'Aerith dies' at home" energy is undeniable

Backbone Pro hands-on: A pricey controller for more than just your phone The Backbone One is one of the more popular smartphone gamepads on the market, but its follow-up wants to meet gamers across devices.

here's my write-up of the new Backbone Pro controller. i like it! a clear upgrade over the original. it'll be a great gift. but $170 for a mobile gamepad is always gonna be a tough sell, especially now: www.engadget.com/gaming/backb...

Reflections on the Nintendo Switch, the hybrid console that changed gaming Before the Nintendo Switch 2 arrives next month, we took some time to reflect on the many ways the original Switch has stood out to us.

herded up a little (early) group retrospective on the Nintendo Switch ahead of the Switch 2's release (mainly so i could have a new excuse to blab about Gunpei Yokoi on the site) www.engadget.com/gaming/ninte...

Polygon Sold To Valnet And Hit With Mass Layoffs One of the biggest gaming sites around was just blown up

games media has been in a slow-motion extinction event for years but it's no less terrible when the wrecking ball hits. best wishes to everyone affected, shocking amount of talent to just discard. always have a soft spot for polygon, helped me start out back in 2012 kotaku.com/polygon-sold...

walmart charged and cancelled on me four times, leading my bank to lock my debit card. best buy kicked me out of eight 90-min queues without giving me a chance to order. then, at 1:40am, i (tentatively) got the new nintendo thing. i'm 34 and having a kid in two months. what am i doing with my life
