Welcome cool kids! I'm Gabe Graziani, currently Senior Lead of Community for EA Games (everything but Sports, Mobile and Apex), but you might know me from my near decade as the Assassin's Creed CM.

I am glad you are here!

Iconic beginnings.

Snake is tasked with rescuing a Quadrillionaire's tech-savvy nephew who has discovered a way to bring energy back to the planet - making the boy the most coveted asset on the planet as Earth's residents' only hope of escaping the barbaric prison their juiceless world has become.

I always harbored a secret wish that Carpenter would make it a trilogy with Escape from Earth. Those without the means to flee to Mars of the habitable stations on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter were left stranded on a rapidly devolving electricity-less Earth.

Also I actually do like that I can just look up Bad Religion's entire discography and play the albums I couldn't afford when I was in highschool or reminisce over the Radiohead tracks I listened to while on a train in Italy AND the weird electronica band I discovered but just buying a CD there.

There is a very specific type of regressive gamer who makes it an enormous chunk of their personality though.

The younger generation understands the meaning of 'devious licks' (furtive yet bold property theft - the kid stealing the glasses)... that old MAGA chud misunderstood the assignment.

Alternatively, these challenges are the bane of my existence! Literally my least favorite activity in the game, lmao!

"Oh me... Here we go again!"

Ha HA! Of course, the true bad idea was playing football at all. This disaster could never have occurred if they had brunch instead.

Oh dear... I started playing BALL x PIT and this could have a catastrophic effect on every other activity in my life. Initial reports suggest 'sleep' being the worst impacted.

I mean, they're not wrong with the "breaking" ... it just holds more meaning in a different sense.

Social media brain status: breaking.

Playing as Jesus and every time you die, the game is just all "HE IS RISEN!" and you get to go again.

"Is it a mess in there, Kari? Is it like that scene in the Neverending Story when the horse gets sucked into the mud? It's like that scene, isn't it, Kari? C'mon, you can tell us... I mean, I'm worried for your safety, tbh. That's not hygienic... that's a hostile work environment."

It's such a terrible shame, y'know? He thought he'd make a funny video, and they've called him lots of bad, rude names for a long time. But now they're worse, possibly, than any names anyone has ever seen... They're calling him President Shitpants, can you believe that?

President Shitpants.

Trophies, flowers, flashbulbs... even wine. Nothing's too good for our unproblematic 90s alternative darlings!

Right, but Harding didn't have AI... he had to have them draft him a flip book.

IT'S GOOD ACTUALLY

I MEANT TO DO IT

I don't understand why they felt they needed cuffs... Like, get your shit together guys.

Holy shit, this is incredible... Never been prouder to be from (near) the Bay!

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

The image is taken from an angle, and you can see the ocean tilting 30 degrees in the distance, with a huge crowd in front of it. In the foreground, you can see the giant American flag that is being held up by hundreds of protesters clustered around its edges.

This is the human banner from the air. It's sign made from masses of people standing together to form letters. It reads "No Kings Yes on 50." There is an American flag in the middle and a thick border around the banner. (Prop 50 is a California state proposition to gerrymander the state to create more blue districts, in order to combat the Texas law that gerrymanders their state to create more red districts.)

It is more politically and psychologically damaging to enact zero violence while ensuring they fully understand that we do not think their ideas on governing are very good.
