So first off, thank you all for the support. I’m honestly overwhelmed by the kind words from everyone. And a huge thanks to those in the media and within Sony’s studios who have reached out to me with information that they’ve passed up the chain at Sony. I still don’t have access to my account and am waiting for Sony Customer Support to provide me with an update, though they’re certainly taking their sweet time. This all started last night when I randomly received a message saying that my 2FA had been disabled. That immediately startled me, as I personally did not make that change. After multiple attempts to log back in to reset my password and re-enable 2FA, it clearly didn’t work as while I was doing this I was being spammed with emails from Sony customer support advising there were changes being made to my account. Then they managed to change my email address tied to my account and I was finally locked out of my PSN. To be absolutely clear: I am 100% sure that I was not phished, and I did not click on any malicious-looking links or do anything that would knowingly compromise my account. It’s clear that Sony has a serious problem on its hands with the widespread account theft being reported, and this needs to be addressed immediately for everyone who has been affected.

I liked Gears Of War: E-Day and recommend it! 🔥 Kalona's fall is perfectly captured and the horror vibes are REAL good. You ain't ever seen the Locust like THIS. Arguably best-in-class third person shooting made this feel good from start to finish. Didn't enjoy the narrative as much and felt the open zone segments stunted the flow too often. It's a trade off and will vary from player-to-player on how they feel. That's the short version! You can hear me yap about it for almost 30 minutes in my review below 👇

I wanna thank those who take the time to watch any of my content or reach out with kind words, fair criticism, etc nowadays. This has been my "job" for most of my life, but the true purpose for me lies in the chat and sharing of games. Don't know where I'd be without it.

Had to get in on this trend. No idea where I'd be in life without these 9 games (and so many more!) ❤️

Some quick thoughts on today's Xbox Reset: - Feel terrible for Ninja Theory. Two buyers falling through is very tough and I'm surprised their technical expertise wasn't in higher demand. - Obsidian officially with Bethesda! WHOA. That new collaborative Fallout game must be on Creation? - Turn 10 and PlayGround merging makes sense to me, a complete casual racing dude, but I feel for the Forza bros who wanted the simulation option available - Halo is the ultimate monkey's paw curling. It's high time we got change, but Activision terrifies me yet ALSO has me extremely curious what the hell this thing will look like lol. - Rare under Activision is so weird on paper, but I'm assuming it's because of them being a live service team? - Arkane is on the ropes and I really wish Xbox would give them a chance.

A nice reminder that constant pushback does work! I've loooong avoided Destiny because of the weird vaulted content approach. Happy to hear they're looking into reversing that.
Today, we’re sharing more about the future of Bungie, including our plans for Destiny, Marathon, and how we’re changing the way we work. Read more on Bungie.net: bung.ie/bungiefuture

Trails has been one of my favorite JRPG series for a long while now and the Sky remakes have been a treat that finally gives this special series an entry point for new fans Sky 2nd Chapter is where I fell in love and it's even better with the remake. Beautiful, fun, endearing, and emotional story. Slick, addicting combat. Some pacing issues, sure, but all worth it. Full review/impressions below 👇

Hideo Kojima said he decided to make PHYSINT because he realized life is finite and so he wanted to create an action-espionage game for all the players around the world asking for another Metal Gear game. piped.video/8SegRMGH_K4?si=5qfk…

PlayStation in 2026: - End Destiny - End physical gaming forever - End porting exclusives to PC - Completely lose Hideo Kojima - Attempt to cancel Kojima's next Metal Gear franchise - Kojima cuts ties entirely and goes to XBOX - Force your single-player studios to make live service games - Concord happens - Proceed to cancel most of them, losing years of development time and billions of dollars - Buy Bluepoint and have them make a live-service rather than remakes - Close Bluepoint down before they release any games - Start selling vertical stands separately rather than have them come with the console - Console prices at an all-time high Genuinely... what is going on at Sony. disaster after disaster, huge L after L. They were my favorite gaming company throughout the PS4 generation but genuinely, how do you lose EVERYONE this fast? Meanwhile, XBOX is taking full advantage of this and priming a major comeback next generation. A literal generational fumble happening at Sony.

They're actually cooking so hard, man. This brings a tear to my eye.
PHYSINT and OD! Proud to build both with @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN in Japan. A big moment for XBOX.

I don't know, man. Letting a guy with Kojima's level of clout walk over to your direct competitor while you continue to fund live service blunders? Such a crazy look.
As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.

Established in 2022, released a killer RPG in four years, and move right onto the sequel. That's how it's done.
