Of all my preseason “shitlist” reads, I was not expecting Ava Pearl to be the one I whiffed the hardest on; Shes respectably playing one of the best under-the-radar games and has spot-on reads of her fellow HGs.
To be fair, she pulled a Cedric by being significantly more chill in the house.

The Spreadsheet is back!
After last year’s surprising hit on first boots and some descriptors, I decided to go again by expanding some rankings!
Top 8: 1) Keanu, 2) Morgan, 3) Ashley, 4) Jimmy, 5) Katherine, 6) Adrian, 7) Lauren, 8) Vince
Early Boots: Rylie, Zae, Amy, Ava

The full spreadsheet is coming soon, but here are my rankings #BB27.
The more I see of Morgan’s vids, the more I want to rank her at #1 but I can’t help but feel like Keanu has the ideal skillset and demeanor for this cast. (Plus, Morgan could fall victim to inexplicable misogyny per BB tradition)

#BB27 in support of the “Boston Rob” Hg 17 theory: first time in a while that there’s zero representation from New England, which might have been intentional to avoid giving him a loyal minion (he has icon status here) because they cut the Mohegan/Foxwoods casting call.
Boston Rob would fill that

It’s VERY different but still fun?
Ages are basically like Pit Stops on The Amazing Race where they do a soft reset of culture, tech, military and trading routes, but you keep your geographic presence.
Whoever completes questlines unlocks advantages in the next age. Win conditions unlock in age 3

I don’t know who else needs to hear this (*cough* @kellienalb.bsky.social *cough*) but:
Civ7 earlygame seemingly combines Barbarians w/ City-state relations. EVERY C-S is hostile until you use influence points to win them over, so you have to actively choose which geographic front is more important

Interesting to see how there’s 2 live service games, 2 solo experiences, and the go-to Steam Deck docked party game.
Don’t think I touched my switch this year, waiting for the Switch2.
Astro-Bot was sub 10hr.
I think the Xbox and solo RPG couch play got the most time out of me this year

I might’ve legitimately not touched my Switch this year while waiting for the Switch2 to come out. The frame drops on Arceus and FE: Engage checked me out.
Steam Deck became my new portable option, PC/Xbox for multiplats

4th year applying, wish me luck!
Since I started post-BB23 I’ve:
-Become a Mensa Member
-Won the capstone tournament at the Northeast’s biggest gaming convention (Pax East Omegathon 2023)
-Changed careers to Personal Training after TEN years of Accounting
And I’m more fired up than ever

Another reason why Metaphor needs to win GOTY; the story is largely about how the public can’t be trusted with democracy.
After seeing the Player’s Voice finalists, their point is proven further…
