We need this song playing at The Game Awards in 2026.

If Trails fans’ words mean anything, this can happen, especially considering SC is the best game in the series.

The lack of reciprocation in the world every day makes it harder and harder to perform selfless acts.

My thoughts on the Packers chances for the rest of the year have been downgraded from confident to simply hopeful.

Without Parsons, people expected the Packers to be good. With him, they were unquestioned contenders.

You get to the playoffs and it’s still anyone’s game, especially with Watson.

John Cena is an old-school superstar who 100% loves the business.

You’re supposed to lose your last match.

Cena did that. He tapped out smiling. The man who never gave up finally gave up.

John Cena is dead.

Remember him for what he was the same way you do for others who are no longer here.

I knew I’d fux with this guy as soon as he put respect on Garl’s name.

It took way too long for me to complete the KF Rolodex and have a conversation with @barrettcourtney.bsky.social. So glad I ran caught up with him!

Actually wait, I gotta meet Roger.

Petty guy that I can be — if I were Wuthering Waves or Battlefield 6, the only games to win a Game Award over Expedition 33 in any category, I’d market the heck out of that.

If we’re friends on Instagram, most of my TGA selfies made it on there.

You can tell how old I am based on the fact that I book my room at The Fig for all the LA gaming events.

If you’re trying to get into the JW, go in from the rideshare side. The back entrance was barricaded.

I love the modern Tomb Raider games, but it’s hard to care about this new one when they laid off my friend on the writing team.

I wish they’d bring this back to LA during TGA week. I was in such a rush because my flight home was that day.

I wanted to like #SkateStory more, but too often I found myself wondering what I’m supposed to do next vs. actually looking for what I was supposed to do.

Inherently, that wasn’t fun to me, but I know a lot of people can find the enjoyment in this one.
Despite it's unique look and feel, Skate Story isn't one of those indies that's gonna change the world. The game is fine, but once you get through the game's nine sections in the six hours or so to do it, there isn't much to have you go back except to start the game over again.

I’ve watched like no trailers of Metroid Prime 4 since it was re-announced. The only thing I read about it was @loganjplant.bsky.social’s various posts on social talking about it being a Zelda dungeon crawler.

2 hours in, can confirm that’s an accurate assessment and I love that about it.

I will have drinks in my bag at the JW after the show next week.

IYKYK.

I don’t consume enough streaming media to give a great take on whether Netflix acquiring WB is good from a user’s perspective.

But as someone who’s been affected by layoffs and knows people at both Netflix and WB and the anxiety that comes from such an acquisition?

No. I’m not thrilled about it.

What a way to lose for the Warriors. Geez.

I was about to go to Costco to grab it for $62 but oh my gosh Nintendo actually and finally came through for me. 😭

One of my favorite lines in all of film.

I know I don’t have much of a following on here, but I will be back in LA for The Game Awards!

I fly in on December 10th and will be heading back home on Friday, December 11th, so if you have some new games to show, podcasts you need a voice for, or parties you have invites for — I’m down!

This is "the game I couldn't talk about" for the longest time, because this game is simply HUGE!

If you're the kind of game who justifies value based on hours spent playing, then Octopath Traveler 0 might just be the best value of the year, and most of the game is simply fantastic.
