Dropped a few hours revisiting The Beatles: Rock Band this week. Still an excellent game all these years later, and one of the coolest documentaries to ever exist.

Completely missed the milestone but it's just over ten years since the release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, known to me personally as the first release of my career. And by extension, the sudden realization I've been working in games for over 10 years. That happened in a flash.

Got home after being in San Diego the last few days and immediately jumped on this. Congrats to our pals at Housemarque on the launch! ☀️🎉

it's a less impressive stack critically, but a decent haul for the price i paid. A few more for the collection before April ends. Maybe. I'll be in San Diego this week for work stuff, so I'll check out some stores while I'm out of town.

A stack of games that includes: Blaster Master: Blasting Again and Missile Command on PS1; Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Darkvoid, Iron Man 2, Kane and Lynch 2, The Bourne Conspiracy, and Terminator Salvation on PS3; and Assassin's Creed Unity on PS4.

Yeah okay, Pragmata.... Credits rolled. Capcom absolutely stuck the landing.

I always like to ID voice actors before looking it up online, so the frustration I felt trying to figure out why I recognized Hugh's voice in Pragmata was killing me. I should've known from the jump. It's David Menkin, who voiced my guy Preston Marlowe in Battlefield: Bad Company. Fun link.

Congrats to 4A and Deep Silver on the reveal today! Enjoyed working on Exodus way long ago, and now eager to jump into 2039 as a fan. Will be there Day One!

It's a day late but I just hit five years at Insomniac Games. Hard to believe it's been half a decade working alongside this fantastic team and community. None of it feels real, even now. But it's very real and I'm very much not dreading getting older... at all.

Rolled credits on Scott Pilgrim EX, solo as Scott. Loved it so dang much. I hope they make another one!

Scott Pilgrim EX is fantastic. It plays like a dream, and the new stuff they added like the open world and RPG bits makes their little game universe feel so much grander. And the Anamanaguchi soundtrack is killer of course.

Took Eido to the dog park for the first time the other day.... She appears to have enjoyed it.

Eido walks toward the camera, almost appearing smiley. She's actually just panting from running around.

Eido sniffs we green plants on the ground as sun shines on her.

Eido, running toward the camera, is in a prancy hop, her ears bounce up making them appear pointy.

Eido runs towards the camera, he blep tongue is out and her short black and white fur appears to have a mild bounces in response.

Akimbot's charm is craft, made with an admiration for its PS2-era inspirations. It's fun, varied, and entertaining in the right ways; and it's got some *really cool moments* in it! It's worthy of a sequel, yes, but I also love that it feels like the team waded a fog of war just to figure *it* out.

Odd discourse aside, I've found the fun in Highguard. The gunfights can get nuts.... It also looks like an easy and quick Platinum trophy, so I'll see that through at least.

these two are forever so eager to kick the shit out of each other, i love it.
