The second project I’m working on at Scaffold. As one of the original people who got a negative time on Walkout for the IAYB demo, I have been absolutely demolishing these levels. You can guarantee that these have all been Sicko Certified (TM). I can’t wait for everyone to play.

I keep wanting to post lyrics from the new Weezer album like it’s 1997, 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, or 2023 but there’s so many fucking bangers on this new record I can’t decide which one is my favorite.

This game rips so fucking hard and I’m so proud to have worked on it and with the team of incredible wizards, geniuses, and all time champions who made it happen.

This might be the one that convinces me this isn’t a bot.

Most Ardent Argentina Fan Take: Both of Spain’s WC wins have been against 10-men. Fake trophies. Put up the asterisk. (I do not believe this.)

I’ve never seen two teams less concerned with defending in my life. This has been absolute insanity. I cannot believe they ended the game either. At least two more minutes for cele’s. Olise gonna cry himself to sleep tonight.

youtu.be/Cjli14KIfEM?... Daisy Grenade doesn’t fucking miss. A little behind on this one but it’s such a good EP that shows the breadth of their catalog. Keaton and Dani’s voices compliment each other so fucking well it’s unbelievable. The break in “It Must Be Me” is powerful stuff.

Pinging @dannyodwyer.bsky.social notorious Messi hater and ref. That was the correct call by the letter of the law, right? If you flop and cause someone else to get a yellow the “mistaken identity” can be used to basically flip the yellow on to you for the dive.

After 20 years of playing various Guitar Hero games, I can finally say that I’ve (P)FC’d an entire game. 15 year old me would be absolutely geeking right now. (Current day me is also geeking.) youtu.be/sladrgvrG0g?...

Man. Pillars of Ent3rnity gets further and further away every day. Avowed was rough (but also fuckin slapped) but that’s what sequels are for! I want more in the world of Eora dammit. Let Obsidian cook.

I don’t have enough following to give Print his flowers properly, but I cannot stress how much anything that has happened on legacy Xbox stuff in the last decade has basically gone through this dude. An unsung hero of the game & there’s not a company on Earth that wouldn’t be better with him in it.

Well, my services at Xbox are no longer required. I'll have more to share on this later. I do have a lot to say but need some time to gather my thoughts. As you can imagine, I am 1 of 1600 people that are gutted right now. I gave SO much of my life to this brand.

I know there’s strategy to it but not letting Bellingham get his hat trick is kinda fucked IMO.

This shit could be tied going into half time. Mexico said, “Remember 2-0 is the most dangerous lead in soccer mother fuckers.”

Ian Berridge @kliqimb.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
The first time Mexico has EVER been done at the Azteca in World Cup HISTORY and they got scored on twice in 90 second. Insanity.

Haaland is insane. He’s clearly gassed. Norway had NO intention of doing anything other than burning the clock. He gets the ball at the top of the box and does the absolute most “fuck it” shot of all time and scores. He then had the presence of mind to not rip off his shirt and get a yellow.

Ian Berridge @kliqimb.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
Calling the game there is actually insane. At least let the throw + inevitable corner happen for maximum drama.

Ian Berridge @kliqimb.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
Even with the score line as it stands, technically Cabo Verde scored more goals than Argentina in this match. It sucks but I’d be quoting that shit for the rest of my life.

If this match goes to penalties I never want it to end. Wrap around the whole fucking team. Make the coaches shoot. Get people from the stands. This shit rules.

Okay so the Xbox Showcase was: Sequel Reboot Remake Seq Rem Seq Expansion Seq New IP Seq NIP Exp Exp Seq LE Hardware Seq NIP NIP Exp Exp Exp Seq NIP Seq Seq NIP Exp Of these, only 6-7 (lmao) of them were brand new announcements. Am I insane? Should I be hyped after this?
