here’s how gaming 5+ hours a day since i was a kid made me an antisocial adult ImageImageImageImage
spent my childhood unlocking all 13 endings to chrono trigger, had 99 hours of play on the Japanese import of Final Fantasy 7, and this is how ive functioned as a social adult. Tragic ImageImageImageImage
yes I just wanted to post old party pics. Thanks for indulging me.
@nickgrube miss you babe

Congratulations America, we have a new president. here are the 5 greatest presidents in video game history.

washingtonpost.com/video-games/20…
maybe one day we'll have another president who values Hedgehogs Sonic and Shadow enough to keep a photo of them on the Resolute Desk

spoiler alert: The greatest video game president is none other than President Michael Wilson, who takes on the entire U.S. military all by himself to save Florida from Vice President Dick reinstituting slavery but only for white people

i don't know what is going on but i guess i'll buy Tenet on sale for $20
i can confirm it's real.

tenet in 4K is really only $20 already
btw Pence's "bio" site also says the same date, so it's either some kind of website error, or congrats to Senate Pro Tem Chuck Grassley for becoming president for the next 8-9 days lol

One thing I adore about Assassin's Creed Valhalla's storytelling is how Eivor speaks with clear intent and emotional clarity. She always speaks in a manner so she is never misinterpreted or misunderstood.

also Valhalla might be my fave AC game ever now?

i'm also grateful that one reader left a comment saying that my piece was about "perception and shared experience." exactly. that's the most fascinating theme of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. washingtonpost.com/video-games/re…
i have harped on Ubisoft for having the "worst writers in AAA."

AC Valhalla shows i'm not always right. Valhalla's character work is a quiet revelation. Everyone is distinctive, has clear reasons why they're in the story, what they chase. Great work.

I've been working on this story for a while. The Metaverse is the next version of the Internet. And some believe that as of today, Fortnite has the best chance at doing it. washingtonpost.com/video-games/20…
This piece was partially inspired by @ballmatthew's great February essay, linked below.

But it's also Epic Games's very public ambition to create the Metaverse. Fortnite is far from done.

And the Metaverse seems more realistic in our current situation

matthewball.vc/all/themetaver…
Fortnite's ability to draw intellectual property from so many different sectors of media (sports, Disney, TV shows, Netflix, superheroes) is one of its biggest strengths.

That and its ability to draw millions to participate in a synchronized event washingtonpost.com/video-games/20…
