Ever try a game and it just doesn't grab you? Then you give it some distance, come back to it... and it just doesn't let you go?

The perfect product for someone nursing a broken toe and allergic to codeine (the active ingredient in prescription Tylenol). 1000 mg of Acetaminophen! 🥴

"Um... ACTUALLY." I would just like to point out that this is not, in fact, the Dark Forces version of Kyle Katarn... but the version introduced in Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II." 🤓
(Still looks awesome and I'm all over it!)

Replaying Far Cry 5, and I don't recall it being one of the stronger entries. But man, I am loving it. Two things immediately come to mind:
1. It looks great and absolutely screams on the Series X.
2. The subject matter seems, er, more relevant now. 😬

Been thinking a lot about my personal game(s) of the year. Can't pick just one! Here are the games that have given me the most joy, and stolen the most hours.

I love @arcraiders.bsky.social, including the tension and danger of PVP. As a dev, I know how challenging it can be to balance a game like this. I just wish, you know, it took a dude with a lvl 1 Stitcher just a TAD longer to kill a lvl 75 Raider with a lvl IV Anvil and a heavy shield... 😵💫

We stayed up way too late wandering the frozen landscape of Kona. We also have absolutely no regrets.

Just hit the quaint little Lamar, Kansas. 7:00 am local time. Really easy to imagine a young Clark Kent racing alongside.

Finally fulfilling a dream - traveling cross country via train. Just left Boston, and after a layover and switch to another train in Chicago, I'll be arriving in LA on Monday. Then flying home the next day.
3 nights in 2 separate sleeper cars. SO ready!

Back in my beloved Boston for a couple of nights and thought I'd share some Fallout 4 trivia. Remember DB Tech? Here's the actual building. Back in the day it was Don Bosco Technical High School - MY high school! Now it's a Y (and they use our Olympic-sized pool). 😆

Still absolutely loving @arcraiders.bsky.social. Can't get enough. Also, I'm not exactly sure what it is about the "easy" Dam Battlegrounds map - maybe the influx of new players with itchy trigger fingers - but it is an absolute PVP bloodbath. Every. Single. Time.

ARC Raiders is basically the most dangerous extraction shooter I've ever played. In a game that supports full PVP, but encourages civility, it's easy to let your guard down. But you never know when the tables may turn… and they turn often. It may be time to go full Ghoul...

Been playing copious amounts of both these games lately. Arc Raiders kind of reminds me of Fallout 76 in that other players tend to give you a hearty greeting instead of shooting you in the face. In Vigor, not so much. 😂

🧵(1/2) I basically mainlined @thechineseroom.co.uk's VTM: Bloodlines 2. It's been a long, long time since I've felt so connected to NPCs. Really great writing and voice acting all around. I'm actually sad that it's over. Sooo... I guess I'll play it again, in between bouts of BF6 aanndd...

You can never win the expectation game (as a Fallout dev I know this well) so the biggest thing working against VTM Bloodlines 2... is the 2. This is a totally different type of game, a slick, smooth action RPG vampire fantasy. And it is SO fun and well-made. Props to @thechineseroom.co.uk

#BloodOfMehran is the best 25 bucks I've spent on a game in a long while. Is it old school? Absolutely. Indie with a less-than-AAA budget? Sure. Fun as hell and surprisingly well made? A resounding yes.

Well, I thought my account was secure.
No, I did not repost whatever it was a bunch of folks just messaged me about.
