After man years of saying she can't play video games, my wife finally decided she had to try, mostly because #WutheringWaves had this character, #Lynae and it's so close to her name Linnea she couldn't help herself. Now, watching her lose her first 50/50 was less than ideal, but she's doing great!

Well #YouAndIArePolarOpposites is quickly becoming my wife's favorite anime of the season and I can't help but really enjoy it, in no small part because of how much like these two characters my wife and I are. I find myself nodding along to the things the main characters do, it's just a cute show.

Been having some fun with #TheCrewMotorfest, overall a solid game, but in the end what it's really doing is making me just that much more amped for #ForzaHorizon6 as Playground Games is just the master at these types of games now. But this'll keep me entertained until May.

Soooo....our government apparently watched the #SouthPark episode about the Food Pyramid and thought "Yeah, that looks about right!". I guess we'll ignore that heart disease is the largest killer of Americans right? Apparently steak and cheese is more healthy than salmon, shrimp and grains.

@jezcorden.com with the inclusion of Fable in the Developer Direct, and the speculation that Forza may be in the May/June timeframe is there the possibility Fable is closer than we think and it may be one of the first Xbox launches this year? That feels like a long gap between the direct & Forza.

Excited to see Fable here, very likely means it's for sure coming out this year, can't wait to see more FH6 as well. Beast of Reincarnation is interesting, I'll be curious what they have to show. But the real question I think we all wonder now, what game isn't #Xbox telling us about?! 🤔
It's officially Developer_Direct season!

This ultimate feels more in line with something like Fate/Stay versus #ZenlessZoneZero due to the cosmic feeling scope of it, but either way, it's an awesome ultimate move.

Between moving around a good amount as a kid, and my 20 years active duty Air Force, I've had the opportunity to live in and see a lot of the country over the years. Plus the opportunity to experience a number of other countries as well, I'm content with where I've been in life. 😁

Beat #Borderlands4 over the holidays, really enjoyed the game overall. I thought it was a solid return to what I enjoyed about the BL games, tons of action and even more loot! It had some minor issues to be sure, but I thought it was maybe the 2nd best entry into the series.

I gotta give Hoyo credit for cooking with Shunguang, the 3rd Void Hunter in #ZenlessZoneZero does not disappoint! Her ultimate's are absolutely insane. I did get a nasty gut punch while pulling her that wiped out most of my resources, so I do get the inherent issues with gatcha games as well.

4 games that defined my 2025
Was a really great year for high quality games, and I picked up my new addiction to Zenless Zone Zero this year (only because I got so blindly lucky early).

Can't say this is all a huge surprise to me, although I find the breakdown interesting given the top two channels I watched were Sports related. For my #NFL fans I highly recommend ol Tom Grossi there, he's a ton of fun (even if he is a Packer's fan)

Finally got back to #Borderlands4 this weekend, opened my first vault in the game and this is one of the aspects I really like about 4, especially given how the reward for the vault was something that'll help the entire game and not just a gun you'll eventually replace.

For all my #Anime fans who may have a bit of extra time these holidays, if you haven't seen #MacrossPlus I cannot recommend it strongly enough & it's been added to Hulu.
It has fantastic animation, a deeply prescient story about AI & a hauntingly masterpiece of an OST by the GOAT Yoko Kanno.

I gotta say, I like the way TrueAchievements builds a little slide deck for your games played this year and then gives you a slide at the end, well done by them.
And yeah, totally fell into the #ZenlessZoneZero rabbit hole this year, I don't know why, but I just clicked with it.
