Hello my friends, some news:. After many fulfilling years at CNET I will be moving over to the Games division at Red Ventures to work with the fine people at Gamespot and another website about videogames, Giant Bombâ„¢, to help lead content strategy/development and partnerships.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but it bothers me a great deal at how much people cheer their faces off at some real brutally awful shit. I love games and I wanna play the ones I saw tonight, but that wild bloodlust applause really turns me off.

Yesterday was a major first step in revealing what lies ahead for Giant Bomb. And those 3 series are just the beginning. We've got roughly 8 new shows in various stages of development that should all see the light of day by the end of summer. I hope you'll join us for the ride!.

It's very difficult envisioning a Giant Bomb without @unastrike @VoidBurger and @megaberrycrunch. Beyond grateful for all of their inspiring work and continued friendship-- so fortunate to have worked alongside them. If you're in a position to do so, please consider hiring them.

Son: Daddy, what's the real meaning of Christmas? . Me: Well my child, you see, a lot of people get Call of Duty today so you need to go online and make sure you absolutely destroy them before they learn all the maps and weapons and get much better at the game than you.

Just started a new campaign of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox One X, and my goodness, the difference in fidelity compared to PS4 Pro is immediately noticeable. This is the best example of multiplatform superiority I've seen so far. It's not even close.

If you are hosting Thanksgiving this year use the time before you serve the meal wisely. Make them watch things you enjoy. Explain something weird. Perhaps a keynote is needed. They are hungry and won't leave until they eat. You hold all the cards.

I've had an Xbox Series X for almost a week, check out a hands-on preview I did with @michaelphigham. 🎮 Quick Resume is a game-changer.🎮 Back-compat list is big, but not complete (for now).🎮 New controller is a subtle change, but still an improvement.

Getting a lot of chatter regarding Series X heat. On Beastcast I said it was "toasty" and that's exactly what it was. I've read stories that are using the Beastcast segment to support claims the Series X has a "heat problem" and I would disagree w/ making that assumption. [1/3].
