After a week of good times, here's my final Battlefield 6 review.

"Battlefield 6 understands that the best FPS is a place, not just a service. The execution isn't perfect, but the heart is there." www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ba...

Battlefield 6 review

The series that once languished in Call of Duty's shadow now has all the juice.

Even after putting this quiz together myself I couldn't think up most of Steam's different genre tags (there's like 135 of them) www.pcgamer.com/games/its-ou...

It's our biggest quiz yet: how many Steam game genres and sub-genres can you name?

There are well over a hundred, so I'll give you plenty of time to guess.

too lazy to get up and see if the game I’m downloading on Steam is almost done so taking a picture of my monitor from across the room with the camera zoomed in and then zooming in more on the picture and it maybe says 37%?

I'd have bet money this was like War of the Worlds, a covid-era movie of people in different rooms looking at screens that they made 5 years ago and is only now getting released. But I guess not? Shot last year apparently www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVtd...

I mean I feel like you could probably name-check your wife and kids in your book dedication but maybe he was in a hurry

Finally the flood of daily spam texts hits on a winner. Don’t pretend to be recruiting me for a job at TikTok. Pretend to be a button man asking me to confirm a hit

They're also spamming/phishing on Discord: account "_clivingston_" and User ID 420239887577513985. Have reported them but couldn't hurt if a bunch more did

Since I left Twitter, naturally I am now being impersonated on Twitter, and naturally I cannot report this impersonation without having a Twitter account. It's a great system. Here's the fraud account if anyone knows how to help.

We joke about Steam reviews but sometimes they get their point across in a single sentence whereas it takes me about 1,800 words. Anyway, I made a quiz where you try to guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review. Pretty much everyone is is acing it. www.pcgamer.com/games/can-yo...

Can you guess the game based only on a blurb from a Steam review? Take our quiz and see if you score a thumbs up!

We're (overwhelmingly) positive you'll do great on this quiz.

Thought it would be easy making up a bunch of fake Kojima character names for this quiz, but it was kinda hard, actually. Find out if you're a Good Guessman or a Revolver Missalot.
