This is tragic news in the gaming industry. Condolences to Vince's family, friends, and colleagues. One of the hardest video I've had to record for YouTube.

I feel like someone innocent wouldn't redact pretty much everything.

The Trump administration’s release of the Epstein grand jury documents are entirely redacted.

It’s 119 pages of just black rectangles.

An absolute disgrace of a human being.

Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!'

My year on Xbox via @trueachievements.com!

Of course Cookie Clicker is number one. Deep Rock Galactic Survivor isn't far behind it and that is a game I actually played.

I did play a lot of day one games via Game Pass.

Doom: The Dark Ages is my Game of the Year. I still need to play Clair Obscur.

It looks like I need to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Congrats to Sandfall setting a new record for the most awards won at The Game Awards.
