You really don’t have to do this.
Horizon Forbidden West loads so fast on the PS5's SSD that developer Guerilla Games actually had to deliberately slow them down in order to provide players enough time to read the loading screen tool tips.

Game Informer has been closed down by GameStop and the entire, incredibly talented staff (including myself) have all been laid off. A frustrating turn of events (especially considering we were about 70% done with the next issue and it was going to have a GREAT cover).

The weirdest thing about the Dreamcast, based on my experience with the console exclusively at a neighbor’s house, is how Sega made the disc art for all releases just the game’s title written in sharpie on a burned disc.

Started Control and it said the batteries were low in my controller, which is funny because Alan Wake was always dealing with low batteries and, uh... I don’t know where I’m going with this. I’ve been away from twitter for awhile. I like Control so far. Is this good/insightful?

If 24 years ago you told me I’d be playing Yoshi’s Island next to a McDonald’s playplace on a device I brought in my pocket I would have said, “Aren’t there cooler, newer games you should be playing that I don’t even know exist yet?”

Fun fact about this little montage. I thought I was only capturing gameplay. Didn’t realize my mic was on, which is why at about :39 seconds I inexplicably say, “Soufflé pancake?” It was because my kid came into my office and asked me, “What’s a soufflé pancake?”
Please enjoy some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III gameplay.

Hey person at the gym who turned my Switch into the front desk after I eagerly sprinted out in my excitement that I was no longer riding a stationary bike – I appreciate it. I like my Switch a lot, but it also has my kid's Pokémon Sword save file on it, so I'm extra grateful.
