Tell you what, Infinite Warfare still holds up after nine years. Plays great and looks pretty fantastic on Series X.

Two hours in and I'll keep diving. #CallofDuty

Can we just talk about how next level Super #Castlevania IV's soundtrack was in 1991? So incredibly well done.

How in the world are you going to have a Survivor Series Match and it isn’t even happening at the Survivor Series event?

Talk about confusing.

No, no, @joypadlad.bsky.social. Thank you.

Will definitely order retro stickers again.

You're aware that annoying characters have existed in video games, right? And have either not impacted its overall landing or become a "cult" favorite amongst people, like Tingle in Legend of Zelda. And my favorite proof is below.

Metroid Prime 4 will be awesome. Myles will fit right in.

Gotta give a birthday shoutout to the Macho Man Randy Savage. Why wouldn't you?

Thanks anyway, #blackops7. But if I want insane #CallofDuty I have a better place to go.

Everyone's picking on this Miles character in Metroid Prime 4. But I think it's a matter of balance.

He's making Samus look more completely badass, rather than awkward like she was in Metroid Other M.

I'm eagerly awaiting this gem.

I'll miss the Kelvin timeline, but these two have done remarkable work with Dungeons and Dragons. Let's see.

...and how's that going, Ubisoft?

So I want the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Metroid Prime 4, but I want the artwork of the original Nintendo Switch version.

That makes sense, right?

That reminds me. I need an interocitor for Christmas.

I dunno why, but a Steam game exchange sounds like it might be fun for Xmas.

Or xbox maybe.

So I just found out about the Blizzard Arcade Collection update that introduces "definitive editions" of some of the games. Including giving Rock n' Roll Racing the actual rock songs.

Wow. Mind. Blown.

One quick note about #AEWDynamite last night.

Jon Moxley was awesome as heck. Not only did he deliver an amazing performance, but he sold the finish like a champ.

Easily one of AEW's finest acquisitions. I bet he's thrilled with what he's done there. As he should be.

OK @baronduki.bsky.social you may be on to something about this new Coke Zero Vanilla flavor.

OK, back to normal for my posts. But #AEWDynamite delivered in so many ways tonight. Great show from top to bottom and to top again.
