After 131 hours I’m starting down the final arc of Kingdom Come 2.
One of the greatest to ever do it. Simply incredible world reactivity, immersion, and player (Henry!) freedom.
It has entered my favorites of all-time alongside rare company like Witcher 3, Elden Ring, and RDR2. 👑

In the last month, we’ve watched every episode of Abbott Elementary including the new season 5.
Really adore this show and I’ve come to love the characters. Ava in particular has had such a great arc.
If you’ve never checked it out and enjoy shows like The Office give it a chance!

Just finished Bugonia. While it had promise and features some solid performances, it goes completely off the rails and into sheer nonsense (and not the good kind). Combined with some poor dialog and atrocious scoring, I have no idea why some are celebrating this movie.
Not for me I suppose! 🤷♂️

Just wrapped the Stranger Things finale.
I’m sure some will find a hundred ways to criticize, but I thought it was epic. A grand closure to a series many have loved for a decade. Bravo. 👏🏻

Man, Prime 1 Studio already planning to kill me in 2026. Looks like new statues are on the horizon.

2025 was an incredible year for game releases. We’re proud to celebrate that with our Seasoned Gaming Honors for the year.
All of the SG staff came together along with the Bitcast panel to make their selections across 22 categories (celebrating over 70 games!) 🫶🏼
