I remember how hyped this trailer got me for Fallout 3. There's a lot you can criticize Bethesda for, but at the very least they know how to make a good trailer.

Well, probably not going to be a great month if that's the headline game. Hopefully, the other two make up for it.

Sure, my backlog of unplayed games wasn't big enough already. Why not throw a few more on the pile?

Yeah. I'm sure laying off staff who have been crunching on Dreadwolf for who knows how long is really going to "unlock the creativity" of everyone left. At least some of the people laid off will be able to find work in other parts of the company. Honestly, if Dreadwolf and the new Mass Effect aren't successes then I feel like it will only be a matter of time until we hear about EA shutting the studio down. Hopefully, Dreadwolf is good and sells well, but the people working on it have to be under a lot of pressure between the layoffs, Biowares last two games failing, and BG3 setting a new standard for RPGs.

Yeah. At least when nuclear war was the existential threat hanging over humanity you had the comfort that it would all be over in an instant. Now we get to watch a slow unraveling of civilization over decades while things continue to get worse. Fun times.

Honestly, the only surprising part of this is that he died in a plane crash instead of being poisoned.

Really excited about Alan Wake 2. So far it's looking like a great mash-up between the first game's more traditional horror elements and the more surreal stuff introduced in Control. Looking forward to release day.

Disappointing. Obviously, there's no way to tell whether the game would have actually been good or not, but stepping away from the Ubisoft formula and taking some inspiration from Elden Ring would have been a step in the right direction.

I mean, yeah America's rightward spiral is depressing, especially if you live there. But it's not exactly an American-exclusive phenomenon. Italy elected a far-right party, France might in their next Presidential election, and even Germany's far-right party is surging in the polls. Honestly, I'm struggling to think of a country that hasn't seen a massive rightward surge over the last few years.

I enjoyed the demo they put out for this, definitely nailed the cozy exploration aspect. Looking forward to picking it up when it launches.

I have my Steam Library organized by genre. FPS, RPG, RTS, ect. Then I have a backlog category where I put the games I know I want to get around to playing eventually and a Completed category for games that I've finished and am probably not going to go back to.

I didn't know a Twin Peaks game was something I needed in my life. Looking forward to the full release.
