At the time of posting it's 7:18PM on the West Coast, so if you hop a plane you're technically time traveling in the past for a bit. Anyways, happy new year!

My Steam Deck finally got freed from FedEx purgatory and holy hell the bastard is huge. Its somehow wider than the Wii U gamepad, yet feels comfy.

for the love of god fedex update the location of my steam deck aaaaa

A new Armored Core? Sweet.

Halo Infinite's recent Custom games browser update is neat, as is regular forge, but man I wonder how the game would've been if it was as feature complete earlier. Ah well, at least its in a good enough position to recommend playing again.

Time for the moment of truth with more gameplay. Obviously wont justify waiting 10 years for, but at least time to see if it looks fun beyond quick trailer cuts.

Looking at the scores for Callisto Protocol right now are certainly interestingly polarizing...I'll be sure to give a play eventually but hearing that New Game+ wont be in the game at launch just turned me off a bit.

Gonna shill games I think are cool for the Steam summer sale, and Ex-Zodiac is fantastic if you want SNES Star Fox but faster, with After Burner inspired special stages! It's early access but it already feels super polished and plays like a damn dream.

I'm no Atari expert, or even lover really. But the Atari 50 collection from what little I've played is neat so far, it's a great little history lesson even if the games aren't all for me.

Not sure if its a cold or a lukewarm take at this point, but The Order 1886 actually ain't that bad. Yeah it's pretty much an interactive movie but the setting and gunplay are pretty damn good. Plus it still looks gorgeous, worth the $10 it goes for now.

Man, VHS 99 was pretty disappointing. Only the second and final shorts are really memorable, and even then the second part really suffered from bad CGI, like it was made for cheap. That said, Mable a QT

I was a little worried about RE4 remake, but thank god they kept in the goofy dumb banter. Combat actually looks decent, much better than RE2/3 make. The rest of the conference was weak before that though.

Silent Hill 2 Remake looks...honestly fine. It aint going to replace the original in my heart, but it looks like a novel way of re-experiencing the story. James's face looks odd but its cool that they brought back old staff!

I'm still not sure if I can squeeze it in my budget and I'm hoping to play Calysto Protocol first, but man the Dead Space remake genuinely looks good. They're pretty much giving it the REmake 1 treatment in terms of faithfulness.

SEGA truly does what Nintendont

For older DX11 titles, ARC looks terrible. But for modern games specifically, Intel's new GPUs actually seem good for the price, at least compared to what NVIDIA and AMD are doing.

Season 2 of Shenmue the animation is apparently cancelled. This damn series just can't catch a break.

So far 12 or so hours into the Saints Row reboot, 30% competition status so far. Definitely isn't a trashfire or abysmal like some critics claim and I'm growing to have fun, but good lord the performance issues on PC and bugs need fixing.

So far Saints Row 2022 doesn't entirely seem like a trashfire. There are some good ideas and its better than SR3 in some regards. But yeah this game really did need a few more months of polishing up, bugs are an issue.

HOLY SHIT. AMAZON LEAKED DEAD ISLAND 2 https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1560061618930651140

I know I'm late to the party on playing Spark The Electric Jester, but I didn't expect this Sonic-inspired game to get real at the intro

New Beavis and Butthead eps are pretty charming, the Tiktok/Youtube sections take some getting used to but they're as enjoyable as the new movie.

Waking up to rumors that Respawn is working on a single player entry in the APEX Legends universe felt like a massive gutpunch. I hope they mean Titanfall universe, and not APEX.

PSA: Saints Row 2's DLC FINALLY seems to be on sale for Xbox 360/One/Series consoles! In the off chance that we never get the fixed PC with the story DLC added, this is a fine consolation at least.

Finally, one good thing announced this conference DEADLY PREMONITION 2 ON PC
