Is it that time of the year again? Why, yes, friends, yes it is. It’s the latest entry in (literally) the one-and-only basketball sim series everyone has no choice but to love, NBA 2K26! Read words here: www.ign.com/articles/nba.... Then maybe grab a beer/non-alcoholic bev after. It’s the weekend.

Correction: We did hear the battle theme, but without the chanting monk, and it didn’t hit the same. I’m not mad, just disappointed
We…we didn’t get to hear the Metaphor battle theme. I’m devastated and my day is ruined

I like the Guardians of the Galaxy vibe The Outer Worlds 2 is going for in its trailer. Hoping it’s more polished at launch than the first game

Gutted about XDefiant shutting down cause I genuinely enjoyed it at launch. But there really wasn’t anything separating it from the pack and it’s another cause of being too late to the party
Insider-Gaming: Ubisoft’s XDefiant Will be Shutting Down in June 2025
A wave of layoffs expected in February along with the closure of Ubisoft San Francisco. Some staff are already receiving severance information.

In the Philippines, we’d call that Tyson v Paul match “luto,” meaning ‘cooked.’ But in Filipino slang, it can also mean a ‘fixed match,’ and both of those definitions somehow apply here

Is anybody currently looking for freelance writers? Lost a lot of work recently and I'm looking to fill a Christmas-shaped hole. Got experience in news, reviews , features & guides, and would love to take some more stuff over the coming months. Reposts greatly appreciated.

My first unpaid review was for a visual novel called A Clockwork Ley-line: Daybreak of Remnants Shadow.
First paid one was for NBA 2K23!
