Heading home for Christmas 🌲

...and with that my work for 2025 is done. Now let the Holidays begin.

Overheard at a Walmart: “Yeah I’m standing outside a Walmart. I’m going to the kids aisle to look at some Rokus and then go home get stoned and watch Disney.”

As much as I'm excited for Avengers Doomsday, these teasers are the equivalent of "this could've been an email."

It's still going 3 hours later. 😡
The fire alarm in my building has been going off and on every 30 seconds for the past few hours and it's getting super annoying. I don't know if they are testing it or if it's broken. It doesn't go off in my unit, but I can still hear it outside my apartment while I'm working. Ugghhhh

NOOOOOOO!

New video is up. 2025 was rough - like really rough. Wanted to be real with you all about what's been going on and what I'm hoping to do differently in 2026. Thanks for sticking around through everything.
Being Real About 2025: Work, Loss, and What's Next
A little personal update on why my channel's been all over the place this year, what happened behind the scenes, and what I'm planning for 2026. It's been rough, but I'm ready to move forward. WHAT I SEE WHEN PLAYING VIDEO GAMES: https://youtu.be/c-vrKFmz1pY Let me know what games you want me to p

Control is one of my favourite games. The whole Alan Wake universe is awesome.

(I'm secretly hoping for some cool accessibility though)
CONTROL Resonant is our biggest and most ambitious game yet. We are heightening the combat, exploration, and storytelling to a new level and making this a more memorable experience. After 7 years of waiting, it’s what you deserve.

CONTROL Resonant releases in 2026. Wishlist now!

I love these creative videos that highlight some fun accessibility options (yes easy mode can be accessibility, but it alone isn't full accessibility). And with a team like Bloober who has been amazing at producing great accessibility in their games it makes them a studio to keep an eye on for sure.

Nothing is more embarrassing than you're eating breakfast when contractors have to come into your messy apartment (I'm preparing for going home for Christmas, so stuff is everywhere), and they have to measure windows for replacements, I guess (?). Yep that's how I'm starting my work day lol

My family doesn't follow me here, so I feel comfortable in saying that this year my family is getting 3D Printed gifts. I've found fun gifts that fit each of my family members that I think they'd like a lot. I've basically been running my printer almost every day since I got it. I love this thing!

I'm falling in love with my ROG Xbox Ally X more each time I use it. It's been my go to device not just for handheld gaming, but gaming in general. During some work breaks this week/end I did a couple of rounds of Fortnite, ran a few runs in Hades, and played E33 and the Ally runs them with ease.

My final 2025 column for Access Designed is up! I explored some of my favorite games of this year that had the best accessibility and disability representation. Read more on @ign.com here:

The Best Accessible Games of 2025 - IGN
From a game that conveys the disabled experience to one that makes hardcore FPS combat more open to all types of players, these are the best accessible games from 2025.

NGL hearing about Lamar Wilson’s passing has hit me harder than I thought. I only met him once virtually but he was kind and gracious when he didn’t have to be. He was an inspiration to me in that it’s okay to be a kid at heart well into adulthood. RIP 💔

Assassin's Creed Shadows was up for Innovation in Accessibility at The Game Awards. It didn't win, but it didn't lose either. Spoke to the game's director of user experience about how accessibility is a collaborative effort: "Together, we win." www.polygon.com/assassins-cr...
AC Shadows' Game Awards loss was still a win to Ubisoft
The game broke boundaries for accessibility, and its creators are thrilled to share the spotlight

To those upset, don't know how Comic Books work. You can have Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson in the same room together! Heck, they've been Cap at the same time!

Plus if what my friends and I have theorized that this is the MCU's version of Secret War, it makes sense to bring Steve back.

I so desperately want to be in the UK right now, in a pub, having a pint or a cup of tea, with a roaring fireplace going to keep the cold out, and Christmas music is playing.

I've had this dream before, but it is filling my waking moments the past week and I'm sad it can't happen right now.

Last night I was randomly chosen to compete in a Pokémon trivia contest. I SOMEHOW WON?! I know almost absolutely NOTHING about Pokémon! The game was 8 rounds of choosing whether it was Pokémon or Medicine lol

This was what I won!

No lies detected lol
Magic is not about winning games. Magic is about pulling off a totally sick, elaborate, surprise move that keeps you alive one turn longer than you thought and forces your opponent to do slightly more work to kill you anyway.

I’m so happy I got to help out and be a small part of an amazing team like @doom.com who won Innovation in Accessibility at #TheGameAwards last night!

Here’s me and Marty Stratton, Studio Head of id Software!

PS forgive the stupid face I’m making. I was just really happy lol
