I realize that I'm biased here, but this documentary series really is something special. A really honest look at what it takes to make a videogame. If you've ever been curious about that please give it a watch!

A Note about KEEPER Spoilers: On our end, we promise we won't be posting spoilers on main until way post-launch (and even then, we'll do our best to give you all some time to play through the game and let it marinate). How can you help maintain the mysteries of KEEPER? Glad you asked! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I had a great time in Cologne last week. Saw some great talks at Devcom and then helped spread Keeper fever at Gamescom. It was exhausting but worth it. Especially when it got cool enough to walk over the bridge

PSA: Deliver At All Costs is free on the Epic Games Store. So far what I've played has been very good in the Saints Row 3 kind of way (doing the open world thing but having zero seriousness about it) so if you're looking for that I highly recommend it.

When deepfakes became a thing I lamented the future of our judicial system. With Google's Veo 3 we'll need cell phone cameras to get worse so that we know the low quality means the footage is legitimate. This is the future?

Maybe it's the coverage I'm seeing but the hockey world is too kind to Toronto. That game was embarrassing. Game 7 on your ice and you get blown out? Inexcusable. Accountability has to be top to bottom. I don't know what happens next, but it can't be "run it back"

It's Psychonauts' 20th anniversary. 🧠🧠 🤯 What can you even say! It feels like yesterday butalso one hundred years ago. Double Fine took a big swing on our first game and let's be honest: we kinda nailed it? Thank you all for your love and support over the years. We love that you love Raz so much!

895 goals for Ovechkin! What an achievement! Seriously never thought that record would be broken. And in an act of complete class, the first person he hugged on the bench was the equipment manager. And he called out the trainers and staff in his speech.
