If some of you who followed wonder what I do, I'm mainly commentating on a game called Trackmania.

After doing it for 4 years - and covering much of what the game has to offer, I am now looking to try my hand at other racing platforms - or even real racing !

Here's a little sample of my work :D

Turns out my computer remained operational beyond 4000 degrees Kelvin 🤔

Turning my PC into a space heater was worth it for this tho

Ran into some encoder overload one time, so I did what any reasonable person would do 🙃

Pretty stoked about this (so much that I installed all of this) - jumping from a 3070 is still pretty sizeable (especially with my 1440p monitor)

Now I'm set 😄

Top work - as ever 👏

Hmm... I think I might be due for an extra drive (and it doesn't even have all of the VODs 💀)

I'm processing most of these to upload them to YouTube this year, will be releasing batches of them progressively - there's like 4-5 years worth of matches in there !

Fitting title, tbh

Finally not being constrained to team Green for a single Gaming & streaming PC feels great - now to find a GPU in stock that doesn't carry a markup. Which in Europe is... yeah 😬

AMD's encoder is finally good. That is all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkf7...

Going on LAN for the 1st time of the year this week-end, I genuinely can't wait to cover events physically and meet people again.

Haven't seen many people since TMWC24, this is gonna be a great breath of fresh air, indeed - and one that is sorely needed

- Man puts on his best Panizzi impression
- Nearly sees god 3 separate times

I got fiber since yesterday ! Seeing these kinds of speeds is still kinda wild to me, considering until just a few days ago, it was either using LTE/5G (which I did) or resort to 8Mbps DSL 😂

Credit where credit's due : LTE/5G carried me for the last 5 years. But fiber just hits different 😲

Screenshot of a speed test, showing download speeds in excess of 670Mbps and upload speeds exceeding 400Mbps.

Kelvin got dumped bad, didn't he ? #Daytona24

The more I watch #WRC onboards, the more I wish I knew Finnish so I could understand co-drivers notes. Arguably the best sounding language in that (specific) case.

US Reviewers : "Intel Arc B580 is THE BOMB." "$250USD cards are SO BACK"

Meanwhile, us europeans where the card has an 80€ mark-up :

This is something I wanted to do already this year, but various challenging circumstances throughout the year dented my motivation pretty hard.

But I'm now ready to bounce back, and hungrier than ever before. See you soon in a commentary booth near you (hopefully) ✌️ #TOTHELINE

Thomas 'GGeek' Mengozzi @tmengozzi.com · Dec 18

With 2025 being 2 weeks away (!), I feel like trying my hand at commentating other stuff along with Trackmania.

If any of my mutuals know of any racing series - be they virtual or real - which you'd think would be up to have someone new, HMU ! DMs open here (and email in bio !)

The score attack bug bit me on C-Smash VRS - and now I got a WR off-stream, apparently 🤷‍♂️ (Non-racing game WR at that)

Jokes aside, this game is arguably one of my faverite score attack games atm. Expect to see it more on stream !

First Sub 12-sec run aswell, LEGGO #TOTHELINE
