Was digging through stuff for cleanup today and coincidentally stumbled across this promo gem from E3 2005.
Ironically, this promo plate didn’t fit on the final X360 at launch. Happy 360versary, XBOX.

I may be the one person on the planet that wants to play BF6’s campaign, but I hate the fact I have to be online-connected for that.
As someone that’s worked on several server-bound games that have solo campaigns in ‘em, this is so damn dumb.
(Tangent: At least it’s running decent on ROG Ally X.)

Is it a coincidence that I start using this super smoooooth mechanical keyboard at the same time that @borderlands.2k.com announces that Borderlands 4 has gone gold....?
Yes. Total coincidence.
Glad to see my old 2K and Gearbox pals / former co-workers still going strong!

I truly miss the communal fun of waiting. For a big movie. For a big product launch.
Sure, I can get something streamed or delivered, but it lacks the energy; the humanity; bonding with strangers who could be so unlike you and yet you all love one thing in common.
Time to make some new friends…

Anyone else just tinker with LEGOs during the day, between meetings?
Was trying to clear my head, wound up mashing up bricks to build a WWII mecha.

I will be rolling into #GDC2025 with precisely THIS level of energy.
For me, this show is about my game biz family. Especially this year.
(OK, sure, and some work.)
Let’s catch up, remember why we got into this biz and how we can tackle the challenges this industry keeps facing.

NERD ADVICE REQUEST:
My Logitech Harmony setup is unfortunately passing on to electronics heaven. (It lasted waaaaay longer than I ever expected.)
Any of my pals out there have a recommendation for what they love using for their home setup these days?

I’m focusing less on the Christmas tree and more on preparing for old St. Maclean.
