I spent the last 3 weeks scouring for Easter eggs and lore in two of my favorite RPGs.

Please watch/like it! (and forgive me for accidentally switching the sound ups for two bard songs. it's been a long month, and this perfectionist is already devastated about it lol 😭)

I love Cyberpunk and will always jump an any chance to make a video for it.

I haven't watched any of our Review interviews we started doing, but I had to watch this one because I miss @danstapleton.bsky.social and he's one of my favorite humans and I'm glad he still freelancing with us.

Also X-Cat aka Mewgenics looks sick.

I loved Last of Us season 1. Couldn't make it past episode 3 for season 2.

I really liked Fallout season 1. Am struggling to find motivation to watch season 2.

This is just my personal opinion, but for a long time, there were no good video game movies/TV. Now, there might be too many...

I understand why Geoff Keighly wants everyone to play Highguard.

I understand why Wildlight Ent. wants everyone to play Highguard.

What I don't understand is why so many fellow games media and journalists want people to play Highguard.

It's all I see. People just defending Highguard...weird...

You can tell the world is miserable by how many people WANT people to lose their jobs to AI.

Every time some AI thing comes out, the comments are filled with “game studios are dead. Office workers are dead.”

We’ve read books and seen movies about a dystopian future. Why actively cheer for it?

I’ve been at IGN for 10 years and I’ve never reviewed a single video game.

I feel like I’ve saved myself so much heartache. I will continue this trend.

I mean this with zero shade thrown toward Concord or Highguard -- but I have to assume that any dev right now working on a hero type shooter has to be rethinking their strategy.

Heck, even with Arc Raiders, Marathon better bring the heat or it's just gonna get bulldozed.

IGN is celebrating its 30 year anniversary this year!

Grateful that I've been allowed to be part of 1/3rd of it!

I selfishly requested to edit this video so I could read @edgarallanbro.bsky.social's writing before everyone else.

Even I’m baffled at how much I’m enjoying Assassins Creed Shadows.

What an absolute gem of a video game.

ICE gets applauded by republicans because ICE is just an alpha male power fantasy.

The best part of this article is the part where @nathangrayson.bsky.social calls VaraDark a slop-Youtuber.

Honestly, bravo. More outlets need to call these mindless drones out.

Highguard Is Yet Another Symptom – And Victim – Of A Rapidly Decaying Internet
In an online ecosystem ruled by cynics, clip farmers, and ragebaiters (and built by those who seek to profit off them), Highguard never stood a chance of having a normal launch

People act like making $5k a month is good, but after that $3900 2017 Toyota Corolla payment, and $500 a month on coffee, there ain’t a whole heck of a lot left.

Jeff the Land Shark should do double damage to Johnny Storm.

Storm and Thor should do more damage to Namor and Jeff.

I cannot eat freshly laid eggs. Just can’t do it.

Why are they different colors? Don’t they need to be cold? Where did it come from??

Eggs come from the store.

Also, put your Girl Scout Thin Mints in the freezer. They’re way better.

The debate is finally over.

The lady in the Xbox developer direct pronounced it Forza. So now people can stop pronouncing it Forza.

I am not one of those folks who think there are zero benefits to working in an office.

For IGN, productions look better, we are able to collab more, and it enables more people to be on camera if they want.

That said, I used to pay $2900 a month for a 1br, and commuted 3-4 hours a day.
