@NickMeteorain Wait what. You own it IRL?!

Thanks Forza Horizon 6. I finally feel validated for owning this extremely rare, but stupid car.

@NintendoWiiBoy Absolutely!

@PeerIGN You gonna be at IGN Live?

Weekend.

And props to this excellent “floating” custom tap construction at the Lobster Tap on Catalina.

@breath0air Happy coincidence. He was a huge X-Files fan.

James McCloud is a fox with a regular name but then names his son Fox after their species. That's like if I had a kid and named it Human Yang. These are the thoughts that keep me up at night... 🤔

Weekend.

Happy Fourth!

@ransompewitt @TheAndyCortez @Daniel_Wylde_ …were indeed bad. Nowadays, games are longer, reviews are longer, and we also create video reviews, so it makes sense to cut out the no-brainer bad stuff that readers aren’t interested in. The result is that there are more positive than negative reviews. Seems okay, no?

@ransompewitt @TheAndyCortez @Daniel_Wylde_ Sometimes, people champion games because they’re great — rarely would the opposite be true (eg: this is so bad, we have to warn people). Some 20 years ago, we reviewed more shovelware — people didn’t read them because they didn’t need anyone telling them the games that looked bad

Too many people think this is like grade school where a 69 and below is a failing grade. 5 is average, 6 is fine/okay, 7 is good, 8 is great. Glad our scale is like IGNs because if a 7 was considered a BARELY passing score (a 70 or a D in school) and 0 to 6.5 meant a failing grade, that's way too much real estate on the scale to grade a bad game. I don't need that many levels to let you know how badly a game is failing. I prefer to have more space on the scale to describe a game I genuinely recommend or enjoy.

@jcampanozzi87 @TheAndyCortez Where in the Stellar Blade review does it say that he didn’t finish the game? It says the opposite, incl. how long it took. It just says that NewGame+ was added via patch after the review posted. I looked at the Days Gone one and it references 60 hours playtime for the campaign.

@TheAndyCortez There have been a few times recently that the reviewer did say in the review that they didn't finish the game. IGN has been insanely inconsistent for a while with the reviews that they do. Days Gone is a prime example of that. Steller Blade in another.

Weekend.

@amiiboAlerts Blech. I guess her hair is a bit of a challenge to get right (for Switch 2, as well). But was hoping for much better.

tell me why the official PRAGMATA amiibo looks like a knock-off 🫣 tbh it doesn't bother me and there's even a twisted part of me that loves how janky it looks but it is a bit surprising considering how we've seen the quality of amiibo improve year after year...

Weekend.

Weekend. (Kaysers’ Bier, Alsace)

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

Weekend.

@brianrang Thanks, Brian!

@PeerIGN happy birthday Peer!! Get the thing!!

@PeerIGN It’s like stomping Goombas.

If you think the Earth is flat, what do the letters in GPS stand for?

@ManaByte @xcgert Jeremy, how do you find the energy to fight these hoopleheads? It’s the same crowd that thinks journalists are paid to give games good and bad reviews, but only sometimes.

@xcgert But why globe and not disc?
