Some big highlights here:

- The magazine will be more pages
- The quality of the cover and paper stock is much better
- The magazine will ship in a polybag, meaning it will be better protected from wear during shipping
- 5% of your purchase goes to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
@giantbomb.bsky.social I hope you're happy. This is your fault.

Happy birthday to me (yesterday) but also happy 16 year wedding anniversary to me and @ashleygodbold.com (four days ago) and happy birthday to Ashley (14 days ago). Decembers will always be busy, but always worth celebrating!

No, she doesn’t seem to be. But can I offer you a Rakx? She also seems mean.

Met and had dinner with Vince Zampella during @gameinformer.com's Jedi: Fallen Order cover story trip in 2019. Found this candid photo I took of him in the Respawn offices.

He was a humble guy who was up for our silly rapid-fire questions ideas. Condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues 😔

Had to sort of make my own 3D glasses and I took Tylenol right before showtime, but it worked. I did not get a headache during my viewing.

Also, I liked the movie. A truly unique and worthwhile theatrical experience.
I like to insist I am not an Avatar fan, but I spent my morning taking the sides off a pair of IMAX 3D glasses I "borrowed" from my viewing of the recent Way of Water re-release and gluing magnets on them so I can more comfortably wear them over my regular glasses.

Reviewed the new (old?) Terminator game.
Terminator 2D: No Fate is a strong retro adaptation of a beloved film, but it is not without some design annoyances that we’ve moved beyond.

Showed my daughter the most recent Avatar trailer on Quest 3 so she could see how it would more or less look in 3D with the high frame rate. I hoped it would sway her to go with me to the theatre this weekend.

Her review? “The smoothness made my head hurt.”

This guy should have been in Smash Bros. as a fighter. Or an Assist Trophy, at least.

As a result of this weird bug, I now play my Steam Deck like I’m baking a cake and I have to pre-heat the oven. If I want to play my Steam Deck I turn it on, walk away, take care of some tasks, and then play it when it’s all warmed up.
I have this issue with my Steam Deck where when I wake it from sleep, all the buttons on left side are consistently unresponsive for about 20 seconds. No screen issues or anything. And the buttons on the right side are fine and work immediately.

Is this an issue anyone else has? Feels very unique.

Still consistently hitting this weird issue a year later. Anyone else run into this? And more importantly… anyone have a fix?

Is the “Dual” in the title here making reference to a surprise Mega Man X appearance and does “Override” mean X will overtaken protagonist duties and become the star of the game? Because that’s what I would like.
Mega Man is sliding back into action with Mega Man: Dual Override. Check out the reveal and more here: gameinformer.com/the-game-awa...

If you're tired of Trump's pathetic attempts to racebait everyone's attention away from his devastating tariff inflation, double-digit health insurance increases, and still-unreleased Epstein files, then tune in tomorrow and help MinnMax support our awesome Somali community he's attacking!
This year MinnMax is using our reaction stream for The Game Awards to raise money for the Somali Museum of Minnesota.

People aren't "garbage".

I retain my position of continuing to be part of the problem by hurriedly purchasing this thing the moment I got the email alert yesterday.
