As I've shared recently, Gears of War saved my life. Now, some added strength as a warning to all demons. A semicolon tucked in there. Keep fighting. Fight like hell. #GearsOfWar #DOOM

On a personal note: I’ve never enjoyed podcasting with someone more. I’m thankful for all the awesome discussions, laughs and fun times with a good friend over the last 2 years ❤️ Forever grateful my friend @jampacksam.com

Being a part of @savethegamemedia.bsky.social and Project XTalk has been an absolute blast. Hugely grateful for the last two years and for @themuff1nmon.bsky.social for putting up with me for so long! See you all in chat. 🫡

I yap about video games on the internet. A lot. I took a quick trip for a few days to get away, thinking "how much could possibly happen in three days!" Meanwhile, the last three days:

I have a bit of a thing for keyboards, so when I had the chance to go hands-on with the MelGeek MADE68 Ultra... how could I say no? This keyboard is like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it's packing some solid features as well. 👇

Let's do an independent Game Mess Mornings tomorrow. giantbomb.com/join

I made a video on Mafia: The Old Country (looks dope) and I called out that it’s “only $50,” which earned a lot of comments like this Yeah, $50 is still a chunk of change. But we’re living in a world with an $80 Mario Kart game. The times are changing.

We just keep eating with gamepass

DOOM: The Dark Ages has one of the coolest Collector’s Editions I’ve EVER seen. Huge thanks to @bethesda.net for sending one my way! 🔥

⚡Doom The Dark Ages Review | Rip, Parry, and Tear #DoomTheDarkAges @doom.com youtu.be/XcEPOfF94Bg?...

I beat DOOM: The Dark Ages. Let’s talk about the good, the bad, and the gory. And there’s a lot of gory. 🤘

Definitely not jealous of everyone going to PAX East this weekend. Absolutely not violently jealous.

With console prices going up and PC parts not getting any cheaper, the idea that EVERYTHING is a console makes more sense than ever. Let’s talk console prices, cloud gaming, and “This is an Xbox.”

Going into the weekend with an absolute boatload of gratitude. 10-year-old me watching X-Play and Attack of the Show could never even imagine the awesome things he'd be doing 18 years later. I'm always thankful for every single person along for the ride. ❤️

As part of our Good in Gaming initiative, we're happy to share this deeply personal story from guest contributor @insipidghost.bsky.social . Gaming means many things to many of us and in the case of Luke, Gears of War meant the difference between life and death. seasonedgaming.com/2025/05/02/a...

The @steelseries.com Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 is a compact keyboard without compromises... and now it's in white. 👀 Big thanks to SteelSeries for sending a unit over for review!

I'm in danger.

We finally got gameplay for Marathon, Bungie’s classic revamped as an extraction shooter. There’s a lot that I already love, but I’ve also still got some questions. Let’s talk about it.

Spruced up the YouTube channel a bit! New look, same dude yapping about games on the internet. 👌 I’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to really take things to the next level this year. Super excited to see it all coming together!

Decipher the spiritual world with us—Weaver and animancer. Huge congratulations to our friends at @compulsiongames.bsky.social on the launch of South of Midnight!

Got a little something from @bungie.net! 👀 Absolutely stoked to see #Marathon gameplay on April 12th! What are you wanting to see from Bungie’s newest game? HUGE thanks to Bungie for sending this stuff my way! #ad

I've been spending a lot of time with the new @steelseries.com Apex Pro Mini. 👀 The Mini does a LOT without taking up a ton of space on your desk. If you're looking for a mini gaming keyboard, this one is easy to recommend. Big thanks to SteelSeries for sending one over for review!

“The Switch 2 does 4K60 and 1080p120 in handheld mode, but Metroid is 720p120 in handheld mode and it’s using DLSS so it’s all just fake frames anyways. Also it’s gonna be $450 at launch or $500 if you want the Mario Kart bundle, but the preorders got delayed so they can see if the tariffs affec-“

Hearing @jampacksam.com tell me about it - got me even more excited to play South of Midnight!

Hear me out

#SouthofMidnight might not break new ground with its gameplay, but Compulsion successfully delivers a world packed with meaningful stories and a ton of soul. Big thanks to @xbox.com and Compulsion Games for early access for review!

Do y’all ever miss childlike wonder? Like imagine being 10 and watching that Nintendo Switch 2 reveal with no understanding of the money, specs, or expensive SD cards. Just cow on a kart.

Absolutely loving The First Berzerker Khazan. Feels like this game deserves more praise/attention!

The Backbone One has always been one of my favorite ways to play on the go, but the new @xbox.com Edition is especially stellar for Xbox Cloud Gaming. ☁️ Big thanks to Xbox and Backbone for sending one for review!

Next up: South of Midnight 👀 Excited to go hands on with the latest game from @compulsiongames.bsky.social! Stay tuned on April 3rd at 12pm ET. Big thanks to @xbox.com and Compulsion for sending a code for review!

Don't forget to follow the folks over at @gameinformer.com to catch their posts about news, previews, reviews and more. They're back, and they've been busy covering things like this morning's Nintendo Direct! Go read their stuff and make an account on the newly reopened site!

Fresh drop from Backbone and @xbox.com just came in! 🔥 Can’t wait to put this to work with #AssassinsCreedShadows on Xbox Cloud Gaming this weekend. Big thanks to Xbox and Backbone for sending one my way!

The fact that there hasn't been a Daredevil game in the Arkham style is criminal.

I’m not really sure what to think of Bluesky. Clearly a TON of people here and it’s the largest new home for real time public connectivity and conversation. …but I’m not really missing that type of experience that much? Ever since ditching Xitter I’ve been comfortably disconnected. It’s nice. 🤷‍♂️
