Hit 200k gamerscore on Xbox playing Halo: Campaign Evolved. Bittersweet feeling. Kind of wild that 25 years later, we are still reshashing Xbox's one major contribution to pop culture, with greatly diminishing returns.

I want to give Halo Studios some props for Halo: Campaign Evolved (there are good things I swear) but it has been so buggy my god. Enemies just standing still. Enemies just phasing in and out of existence. Lost saves. Weird visual bugs. Like....what are we doing here? Where is the polish?

No way, the guy everyone hates and thinks is a creep is a creep? That's crazy. Wonder why Tron: Ares bombed. Guess we'll never know.
IGN@ign.com · last wk.Four women have accused Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct, alleging that the offenses took place when they were teenagers, during a period between 2002 and 2016 when Leto, now 54, was in his 30s and 40s. Leto has denied the claims. https://bit.ly/4c7HyAe
genuinely think MMOs lost sight somewhere along the road of the ways that multiplayer in a shared, persistent world can be a wonder and not just a rote feature of the form

Been thinking a lot about The Odyssey after seeing it this weekend, but also I did have the privliege to see the 70mm Dune 3 preview. As such, I feel compelled to say that Fremen D-Day against a gigantic Eye of Sauron tower that shoots gatling lasers is going to be the sickest shit ever put on film.

Just getting caught up on Gundam news and so far all I have to say is CHUUNI GUNDAM LFG One weird eye! One weird ARM! Bandages! A tattered cape! It's all here!

Denver is home to one of the country’s only “true” IMAX theaters, but it broke down on opening weekend.

Denshattack! is about as video game as a video game can be, which is to say it kicks ass and I love it. Faith in video games restored. Never knew I needed a Tony Hawk game where a train is the skateboard. After 5 hours finally feel like I'm getting in the flow state of it and it's a blast.

It's fun to theorize about what Camelot means in regards to Classic+, even if people are making some big leaps (I don't think it has anything to do with DAoC). Simple answer is just that the name evokes a legendary promised land. And that's essentially what the idea of Classic+ has always been.

Jeff Kaplan’s comments and Blizzard’s history make one Camelot theory especially interesting, even if it’s still only speculation.

Discussion of new Fallout projects should be a big, exciting thing, even if all the games are years off. But doing it as a "well, we just made deep cuts but these studios can still produce video games, honest!" kind of damage control thing just sucks.
I see my Wikipedia dive into the Falkland War two nights ago is now paying off
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3w agoFrom @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Argentina is at risk of being sanctioned by FIFA after its players celebrated with a Falkland Islands banner following its semifinal win over England at the World Cup. "Las Malvinas" is the term used in Argentina for the Falkland Islands.
My good deed for the day was telling a customer wearing a ghost in the shell shirt that there was a new anime that was really good and their mind seemed blown by the news. I do what I can 🫡

It's important as a reporter to remember that when PR reps covertly threaten your outlet's relationship with the company: You're doing the job you're supposed to do. This @jessicogs.bsky.social piece is fantastic. An honest, delicate exploration of how badly corporations can alienate audiences.

Man...as much as I would love a new Obsidian Fallout, that's only if they are choosing to make it and not being mandated to. Avowed is actually borderline great, a sequel could have been something really special.
