Severance Season 2 started super cool but ended up being super bad. I'm ready for what comes as a result of this post.

Got to have a chat with @skillup.bsky.social and @danryckert.com about our time playing Death Stranding 2 at Kojima Productions for an entire week. First half are just my impressions. 2nd half is the group convo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W61d...

I spent 4 days playing Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, and it's just as brilliant as the first one. My spoiler- free impressions: youtu.be/Wzk_KJQh-FA

ABC projecting Dutton to lose his seat LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*smh sighing deeply* can’t believe they made a good MCU movie in 2025 (Thunderbolts)

Can’t review Expedition 33 this week as I’m in Tokyo so lemme just say this: it’s absolutely peak and one of the best debut releases I’ve played in a hot minute. Do whatever you have to do to play it right now.

Guess where I am…

Sony has announced a price hike on the PS5 in Europe and ANZ. Really missing the days when console prices would go down 4 years into a generation, rather than up: blog.playstation.com/2025/04/13/p...

Bungie's Marathon shows great promise, but it's still missing something at the very core of its extraction gameplay loop, making it difficult to predict how Marathon will launch or where it might one day end up. My hands on impressions: youtu.be/bZVwBavB0Mg?...

Oh no, I like Magic: The Gathering now.

When they wind them back, they're gonna refer to them as the Biden Tariffs and be like 'we had to do them because of the economy that Biden left us. The Biden Tariffs were terrible, folks, but we got rid of them. We got rid of Biden's terrible tarifs and now America is back in business'.

I’m not even remotely joking when I say that messing with the price of videogame stuff will be the thing that brings him down. It should have been a million other things, but it’ll be this.

A hell of a trip. Expect some big videos on the channel soon #Switch2 #Marathon

This direct’s ’one more thing’ was a series of post-direct reveals and announcements, each more disappointing than the last.

The $80 USD game has arrived: www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintend...

I've run the numbers and it would have been statistically impossible for Nintendo to have cooked any more than they did with this Direct.

120fps Metroid Prime

Incredible strength and courage from Zelenskyy. Standing up to a room full of bullies in an orchestrated, stage-managed ambush. Never backing down. Never letting the lies take root. Absolute hero for the ages.

South of Midnight isn't looking to define itself by its platforming or its action combat. It's far more about the characters, setting, music and story - all of which are looking superb. youtu.be/o9RVFj3tY4c?...

Bruh

Sony walking back the PSN requirement for PC. Will be optional for a number of titles, offering in-game unlocks as an incentive to sign on: blog.playstation.com/2025/01/29/n...

Eternal Strands is lean and focused, but that allows it to double down on a brilliantly inventive sandbox that punches well above its weight given that this is a debut title from a small team. Austin's review: youtu.be/lnhyG1t8bSs

Thinking about the legendary Mic Gordon today, for no particular reason.

5 hours with Assassin's Creed Shadows reveals a game that is unsuccessfully trying to remix the core Assassin's Creed gameplay loops, splitting them out across two separate characters in a way that feels awkward and poorly thought out. My impressions: youtu.be/aAlobYH_zzM?...

Holy shit, South of Midnight looks fantastic.

BlueSky is popping off, but it won't be complete until we have him back.

The PCGaming Subreddit has banned all links from Twitter, citing what a cesspool it's become. It's the first major gaming sub I've seen do this - any others? www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/c...

Marvel Snap has been banned in the US in connection with the TikTok ban - ByteDance own both TikTok and Marvel Snap. The dev team claim they didn't know about this until the moment it happened, and are working on a solution:

Imagine hearing 'live service God of War' in a pitch meeting and thinking 'yes, this is a good idea. We should greenlight this. And we should get Bluepoint to make it'. I just...I don't even have words.

Here we gooooooooooooo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpc...

Kingdom Come Deliverance II is the sort of sequel that confidently says: 'I'm gonna be the best version of myself that I can be for those that love me. Everybody else can take a hike'. As someone who loves what KCD is doing, I couldn't be happier. My impressions: youtu.be/d7ZRarbS8jw?...
