Watched this one way after it came out, so maybe it was not having to wait week over week, but I thought it was a really fun show! I just enjoyed something Jedi related that wasn't about a Skywalker or Palpatine. It was refreshing, and they nailed the lightsaber fights!

The newest episode of Art of Average is live on the channel! This time, taking a look at EYE: Divine Cybermancy. This one was a doozy - the game is obtuse, to say it mildly. But past that is a phenomenal game that you may really find yourself enjoying! #gaming #rpg #fps youtu.be/I-c92i09m6U

I started playing Outward for a future 'Art of Average' video, and I instead stumbled into a game that captures the feeling of adventure better than anything I've played before... stay tuned for when the video on this one goes live in a couple months! #rpg #games

The art style on this game is downright incredible. Will have to check this one out and put it on the wishlist!

I'm not generally a Superman fan but holy moly does @jamesgunn.bsky.social Superman trailers make me smile like I've somehow been one for years. There's something genuine and nostalgic about how hopeful and bright this movie looks. Can't explain it, but very excited!

NEW: What went wrong with Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Why was the writing so tonally inconsistent? Why did it feel so shallow? Why were there so few choices? Really, after ten years of turbulence, it was a miracle that anything came out at all. This is the story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Very excited for gears of war remastered! And glad to see it going full crossplay/cross-save across consoles and PC. That's the future of gaming IMHO, and should mean it's multi-player is popping off! #XboxShowcase #gearsofwar

Wow, #Xbox handheld is real, didn't think it'd be announced at their showcase today. Partnership between them and #rog makes sense though, I like that.

A new episode in my Art of Average series is live! This time taking a look at the incredible magic system and fun crafting loop of Two Worlds 2! Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for watching! 🙂 #gaming #rpg youtu.be/dP8M5qUB2Uc?...

Was unprepared for the feels that a Splitgate 2 video would give me, but this was beautiful. youtu.be/AdpTm9qfCGE?...

Between #Nightreign launch, #MonsterHunter SF crossover, the new #Fallout76 season starting, #Splitgate2 beta launch, barely having touched #Oblivion remaster... I feel like I have never had so many more options available for procrastinating...

I played a little bit of #eldenring #nightreign and it's a lot of fun! First impressions compiled here so you can really see the depths of my talent. youtu.be/7wkn6QhWodU

That's definitely an interesting take! I've played the most of DS3, then 2, then 1 haha. So I guess the DS journey just looks different for everyone in some way. 😅

Well I certainly did not expect my Art of Average video on Defiance of all things to take off like it did, but I love the support that it's been getting!

I've been checking out Turtle WoW and that is seriously an incredible community project keeping, and expanding, upon the original WoW! #wow #mmo #gaming

Just saw #thunderbolts and damn, what a great movie! If this is a sign of what #MCU is bringing to the table in their next entries, I'm back to being excited to check them all out again.

For example, when #WoW shuts down, like all things will eventually, it would be insane to call the game not a success. But it's a metric we apply to MMOs that have far shorter lifespans. It's just an interesting topic I'd be curious to explore and get some opinions on.

Over on a #gaming subreddit, someone made an interesting comment that got me thinking about how we define "success" in #MMO games. If a beloved game gets shut down, is that considered unsuccessful? What if it comes back online years later? Or gets salvaged by fans in community servers?

Remember #Defiance? That SyFy Channel show with the tie-in game that was actually a lot of fun? Well it's back! And I've been playing it. Check out my video discussing it all here: youtu.be/vnd6bc0M640?...
