I want to be happy about this. But also we don’t get nice things and inevitably there’s gonna be some catch.

I think this is the year that I have spent the least amount of time with Game of the Year nominees.
I finished DK Bananza, made it a dozen or so hours into Expedition 33, didn’t play the others.

Whenever I submit a request for a game code:
“How many X followers do you have?”
Um… I quit X years ago
“What’s the link to your Twitch channel?”
Actually I’m a podcaster.
“So what’s your YouTube channel?”
No, a PODCAST. My content goes in your side holes!!

Day off was spent mostly being productive, but I did watch Weapons and it was pretty solid. Not particularly scary, but an interesting flick.

Many of you have been asking for this one; we're happy to say the cameras continued to roll here at the studio during Keeper's development. Come see how this very special game came to be, from the team themselves! 😊

Not gonna lie, this looks good as hell. I’m optimistic. Especially with the location shooting.
This is Miyamoto. Filming is underway for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda in a lush, natural setting, with Bo Bragason-san who will play Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san who will play Link (1/2).

My only ACTUAL opinion on the nominees is this:
I am happy for all of the teams nominated. Also, the value of art is not defined by awards, or which had the best sales or highest Metacritic score. It’s only about how it connected with you. Appearing on The Geoff Show cannot change that.

Here are my predictions for the Game Awards nominations coming tomorrow.
✅ I can’t believe that game got snubbed either!
✅ That’s not really an indie game!
✅ How did that game get nominated??
✅ No, Geoff isn’t going to acknowledge that thing.
✅ Those games don’t get enough respect.

Imagine all of the good a person could do with half a billion dollars, and then deciding to spend it on a toy boat.
Starting to think billionaires were a mistake.
Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs
"We knew we were asking for unusual things," says Newell, "and Oceanco embraced it with open arms."
