And this is the other one I've been working on over the last few weeks! I think I'm in a small boat of reviewers for this game that hadn't played the first game (more than a couple hours), but even still the story is gripping, the gameplay is well made and characters feel alive. Highly recommend.

2024 was one of my best years of gaming overall, which it seems is becoming a pattern (especially with 2025 looking so damn good already). Though it did also mark the first year in a while that no Nintendo game made my list...

Space Marine II done! While some of the operations were definitely worse than some of the others, it had a bombastic ending and some of the coolest moments I've played in a game They fully embraced the IP and the game knows exactly what it is. My full goty list this Wednesday!

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, done! Fantastic game, legit one of the best I've played all year (2024). Ends damn strong too. I'm hoping it gets some mainstream goty traction this year when it releases on PS5 because it sure as hell deserves it. Already can't wait for the next Indy adventure

Running out of time until my goty list is due, but man Indy is really surprising me. I'm nearing the end now and it still keeps up the quality, if not improving on it. I'm hoping to get two more 2024 games complete by the end of Sunday, it seems like Indy may be pushing some of the others down...

Aaand that's DA Inquisition done. Took me a few months, game was definitely bloated a bit, but overall was damn good. The narrative especially. Trespasser in particular finished up the story satisfyingly, while also setting up the next game quite well. Now, unto the last one...

Played some of @xboxera.com's (and @jonclarke.xboxera.com's) #ConsoleWars yesterday with the fam and had one of the longest games I've played, to the point where we all had FOUR next gen upgrades lol. I think we flipped the deck like 4 times before it came to an end

It's been a pretty good year so far for sure on my Xbox, though I expect Veilguard to sit in-between those two as well. Thankfully it doesn't take into account League...

#Arcane! We had to go back and watch a few moments from other episodes, but I think we figured out what the heck happened. They definitely don't hold your hands. And it's so well done 10/10 show, no exaggeration. A sincere thank you to everyone involved for the incredible ride.

Might need to go media blackout tomorrow for a day to avoid #Arcane spoilers... Just three more episodes and it's all over eh? Talk about bittersweet.

So I've slowly (very slowly) been learning guitar lately and goddamn this D chord (and most of the other ones) is friggen impossible. For the life of me I can't stop muting the high E string with my second finger... Been fun otherwise though.

#Arcane... Ho-lee crap. This show is just something else. Consistently top tier writing, world building, character development and of course animation. If you're not watching this show, you're legit doing yourself a disservice. And I'm not even kidding. Just 3 more episodes until it all ends...

Watched SammyObeid's show tonight at Dearborn Was absolutely fantastic, a perfect mix of heart, passion, comedy, and the burning desire to try and help in anyway to stop or reduce the killing in Palestine and Lebanon. Thanks for the show and the reminder to keep talking. ❤️

Switched from an S22 to a Pixel 9 today! Man, this transition period between just minor changes always feels so weird. But I'm also thinking of using a different launcher to avoid this next time. And recs? Currently using Microsoft Launcher and it isn't bad, though the icons are kinda boring...

Gotta say, I'm not really a fan of TGA letting DLCs be eligible for the goty category. I get it, Erdtree was fantastic, but Elden Ring had its turn in the spotlight and there are plenty of other great games this year that deserve to be highlighted. (On that note, remakes as well, cough)

The world is... a bit of a dark place right now. Twitter is still important as it gives a voice to so many Palestinians who otherwise would be silenced. I'll always keep it for that reason. But I'm hoping to keep Bluesky a bit... Lighter. Focused on games, books, etc. A break, here and there.

#Arcane continues to surprise me episode after episode. Yes, the animation in the show is consistently breathtaking, but the writing is also top tier. The dialogue, the world building, the way you can see the pieces moving together, just fantastic. Can't wait for the remaining 6 episodes!

Oh hey, BlueSky *does* have a web page! Heck yeah!
