Was digging through stuff for cleanup today and coincidentally stumbled across this promo gem from E3 2005.
Ironically, this promo plate didn’t fit on the final X360 at launch. Happy 360versary, XBOX.

I may be the one person on the planet that wants to play BF6’s campaign, but I hate the fact I have to be online-connected for that.
As someone that’s worked on several server-bound games that have solo campaigns in ‘em, this is so damn dumb.
(Tangent: At least it’s running decent on ROG Ally X.)

Yes. Total coincidence.

Yet another day of checking in with buddies seeing if they still have jobs. Then awaiting the inevitable game industry hunger games as more fight for scraps.

I truly miss the communal fun of waiting. For a big movie. For a big product launch.
Sure, I can get something streamed or delivered, but it lacks the energy; the humanity; bonding with strangers who could be so unlike you and yet you all love one thing in common.
Time to make some new friends…

In a dramatic turn of events, kid heard that you can get Darth Vader to say dumb things in #Fortnite and kid’s back in.
Kiddo got Vader to comment on Skibidi Rizz Sigma.
Annnnnnnd now it’s the favorite again. 🤷♂️

I noticed something strange happened with my kid after playing the recent #StarWars update to #Fortnite.
Kid actually stopped playing Fortnite as much (says it broke the mechanics) & dipped into Star Wars Battlefront II.
Why? “It’s just more fun.” And kid doesn’t even like Star Wars that much!
