Hey all - I’m a lifelong gamer who somehow finds himself genuinely surprised by gaming again and again in adulthood. I started Friendly Xennial Gamer to talk about games and tech without the hype or outrage cycle — just perspective and friendly conversation. Glad to be here.

Spent launch weekend gaming on the iPhone Duo. Assassin's Creed Mirage holds up surprisingly well, but the real stars are the @AppleArcade games built for this thing. Best phone for gaming I've ever used. Still not a handheld, though. Full verdict below 👇 #iPhoneDuo

Five months ago I said I hoped we'd see more @arcade_1up Supreme Series cabinets. Last week at Comic Con: four of them. OutRun. Street Fighter II. Pac-Man. Sonic. Full size. Not the 3/4 scale stuff. These aren't toys anymore.

You don't re-watch a game. You re-play it. That's why gaming nostalgia hits harder than movies or music — it isn't something that washes over you. It's something you do. Your thumbs still know it. New essay on why the old games still have us. 🧵

Sony has RUINED gaming.' ...Has it, though? A friendly reality check from a guy who's been handing people their games across retail counters since the Kay Bee days. Link below.

$30. No microtransactions. Earn everything by playing. @NBATHERUN brought arcade basketball back the RIGHT way, and as a lifelong NBA Jam / NBA Street guy, I had to make a video about it. We should be loud about studios that do it like this. 🏀 Link below 👇

The Knicks are in the Finals and I just found a $30 arcade basketball game that scratches every itch. NBA Jam energy, no microtransactions, and it 's an absolute blast. New video. Link in replies. 🏀

Not a must-play. A must-experience. Mixtape is three hours, twenty bucks, and a straight shot back to your last summer of high school. If you came of age before the smartphone, this one's for us. youtu.be/18xrLus8NjY

New God of War. No Kratos. You play as Faye. The fringey trolls are making their voices heard, but then there are also well-meaning gamers who are disappointed by the new direction. I land somewhere hopeful — here's why 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=6ZCOwKEw…

Two guys who played GoldenEye in a college dorm just reviewed 007: First Light. IO delivered on their promise — and we're making the case that Bond works best as a video game. Discuss. youtu.be/we_-MU0XNQ8 #007FirstLight #JamesBond

Ever wonder who actually voices the characters in your favorite games? Or what facial capture for an indie game even looks like? I sat down with the team behind @TomorrowHead_St’s WILL: Follow The Light to find out. youtu.be/NJ0JUSNWr0o

I’m a Batman fan. My buddy Chuck is a Batman SUPERFAN. So when we sat down to review Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the question wasn’t “is it good?” It was: does it pass the Superfan Smell Test? youtu.be/S4-2IUlxQhA?si=rNQU…

One of the games I am most looking forward to this year!
You begin your adventure in Fable as a child, growing up in the sleepy rural village of Briar Hill. It's here that your Heroic powers first emerge, and you discover that you are Albion's first Hero in a generation. #Fable #FableTheGame
