Video games, video game music, compelling stories, and tasty food. All I wanna do is #demo you.
I also watched Wake Up Dead Man which might be the best of three (certainly much better than the second). In addition to the engaging mystery, the movie does a pretty deep dissection of faith which I found interesting.

I watched One Battle After Another, a kinetic, frenetic film about a revolutionary trying to save his daughter from their family's past. The pacing and staccato reminded me of Uncut Gems even though it's a very different movie.

I built a new gaming PC earlier this year. Maybe not the best investment. Apparently the only full game I played on Steam was a a little bit of Baba is You, and I also tried 12 demos. #SteamReplay2025

Finished Metroid Prime 4. So many pieces of it are so good, but there's no cohesion and it feels like there was no one at the helm and all those good pieces were Frankenstein-ed together at the end. Took me 35 hours despite what this image says.

I'm about 80% through Metroid Prime 4 and enjoying it. It's more of a 3D Zelda game with extra backtracking than a Metroid game in terms of structure, but it feels so good to play that I don't mind.

Can we talk about how absolutely crazy it is that the new Mega Man game is still coming to PS4 and Xbox One in 2027, 14 years after those consoles were released? #TheGameAwards

My thoughts on #TheGameAwards: Really well done show, but the heavy presence of F2P games hurt the vibe. Big show if you're a Capcom fan (how much did they spend?). As expected, Squenix was a no-show oustide of a Nintendo ad, but at least two new Tomb Raider games are coming.

I'm going into #TheGameAwards will low expectations. It will be nice to finally see the new Tomb Raider game, and the continued hype for 007 is also nice, but otherwise I'll just be looking for pleasant surprises of stuff I've never heard of.

Put 10 hours into Metroid Prime 4. First couple hours are meh, but gets better after you get the bike. Visual style is excellent with a truly alien world, and the game feels good to play. Puzzles have been pretty tame so far, but combat remains challenging. #demo

I completed Still Wakes the Deep and its Siren's Rest DLC. About 8 hours for both. Intense, briskly paced first-person horror about a disaster on an oil rig. #demo

I think it's worth pointing out that very few video-game companies are as transparent as Shovel Knight maker Yacht Club Games, and I appreciate that the studio was so candid about their story and why their next game, Mina the Hollower, has taken so long

After 4+ months and putting 169 hours in, I finally cleared the main story of Death Stranding 2. To be clear, the story is bad. It's very well executed and looks beautiful, but it's boring, predictable, and trite. How this game got nominated for best narrative is beyond me. (1/9)

I completed my first run through of Road Trip mode in Kirby Air Riders and I’m starting to think this is the secret best Switch 2 exclusive. It’s just super addictive and tactile in ways Mario Kart World isn’t. Sakurai’s still got it.

I can only assume it will release a few months before the PS6 just like how Last of Us and Last of Us 2 closely preceded the PS4 and PS5, respectively.
Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic is reportedly skipping The Game Awards and won’t be released next year either.

I briefly tried the Sega, Namco, Capcom, and SNK versions of Picross S. They’re all basically the same, but the newer ones have 10 music tracks you can shuffle instead of 4-6 tracks in the older ones with no shuffle. #demo

I tried out SteamWorld Build since it's leaving Game Pass. I enjoyed the lite simulation and city building mechanics and the loop of steadily expanding above and below ground to get new abilities to keep expanding. #demo

It's criminal that #TheGameAwards jury never remembers either Street Fighter 6 or Vampire Survivors for the best ongoing game category. Both continue to receive excellent updates year round and are mainstays in my rotation.

I looked at the Game Awards nominations, and I've only tried seven of the games on the whole list, mostly because I'm still playing never ending nominee Death Stranding 2 which IMO doesn't deserve to be nominated, and especially not for best narrative.
