Welcome cool kids! I'm Gabe Graziani, currently Senior Lead of Community for EA Games (everything but Sports, Mobile and Apex), but you might know me from my near decade as the Assassin's Creed CM.

I am glad you are here!

My first thought was, "oh... that was the fancy stuff."

Oh yeah, man... "No kings equals no paychecks" because, as we all know, serfs were loaded.

I mean, remember back when we had kings and absolutely every single person was filthy rich?

Bessent: "This crazy No Kings rally this weekend, which is gonna be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is a big title. No Kings equals no paychecks."

It brings me no joy to note that 2005 saw the release of Call of Duty 2 on the Xbox 360 and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (the third game in the series).

Dope!

I... have a hard time remembering, tbh, but I remember enjoying them as the tentpole console exclusives (alongside Killzone) that demonstrated that Sony could do FPS games just like Microsoft (though, maybe not quite as good as Halo).

GIVE HIM A GAMBIT MOVIE

Mr Speaker, I would respectfully ask that you reprioritize your time and attention on literally anything else.

I want to play those Resistance games again so bad!

I have a feeling your "grow up with money" point is going to be lost on a person with a profile photo where they are standing next to a helicopter.

This is some of the wildest Blueskyism I have ever witnessed. They must be explicitly trying to get into the Louvre.

I'm already watching too many to keep track of!

They're not tricks, Michael, they're illusions!

Step 1: send four guys around the moon
Step 2: send some more guys to land on the moon
Step 3: fission power and ice
Step 4: Mars

EZ PZ and they only need 8 guys (roughly).

They're wildly unpopular, what they're doing is disgusting to most people and they know it in their bones.

I would probably lie and tell my family I did something else law enforcement related like mall security or something.

Oh, I mean, break a leg!

But also the trailer shows what seems like most of the major series beats (if the show is as boring as it looks in the trailer)... I kept waiting for a twist, but it was just like, "no, this show is really just about this guy trying to get a part in this series."

Uhhh, okay, good luck I guess.

Alexa: can you show me what it looks like when it hurts to poop?

That is a blackout curtain with buttons sewn on, there's no denying it.

You can't even tag Amanda while stealing her content? You guys fucken suck. Nothing but thieves over here.

God damn! That's a big gulf in coolness, lol!

I keep mistaking Michael Rooker for Harvey Keitel (complimentary).

He's the Isaac Chotiner of social media.

Gabe Graziani @gabegraziani.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I was going to say... That's all marketing, not actual quality. I saw it in theaters as a child and I couldn't stand it.

Gabe Graziani @gabegraziani.bsky.social · 2d

Iris was not a good person in a very familiar way to me, so, like, it feels hypocritical to me to try to hold her to a higher standard when I'm sure I would be no better... regardless of how much I wish and hope that I would be.

What an incredible game.
