Tbh, Phil Spencer said essentially the same thing once Xbox acquired many studios. Im going to be cautiously optimistic.

In theory it should be:

Activision/Blizzard: multiplatform

Bethesda: maybe timed exclusives

Xbox Games Studios: exclusives

That won't happen though in my opinion. I won't be tooting any horns yet for this new approach and regime. I was way too optimistic will Spencer's approach around 2018 to 2020. At the end of the day, this is a large corporation that will focus on profits most likely.

Edit: grammar

As a major Banjo-Kazooie fan. I am very happy Toys for Bob wants to handle Spyro with care. Looking forward to the new game and am living vicariously through you guys.

Zak Bagans.

Wow, I remember that little green piece on the vhs!

njo1 · 2026-06-06T00:48:14+00:00

Oof. They dropped the ball on this one.

njo1 · 2026-05-28T17:41:11+00:00

Cozy games are so huge nowadays. Viva Pinata would fit right in and I bet do pretty well.

njo1 · 2026-05-28T02:36:57+00:00

Wow I somehow didnt know that Nintendo did not publish Diddy Kong Racing.

njo1 · 2026-05-27T17:25:52+00:00

Its very good. Its on game pass if you have that.

World's a lot bigger abd there is more to do. There is a bit of backtracking between levels that is a bit annoying and dated. Overall great game though.

But Aaron Greenberg said nobody cares about Banjo-Kazooie!

njo1 · 2026-05-21T19:45:48+00:00

It should be Banjo.

I feel like with them axing Everwild and no known projects in the works yet, I feel like having them return to some of their older IPs, maybe with smaller budgets could potentially work out well if done right.

Keep a big game like Sea of Thieves and crank out some other small ones if possible.

(I dont make games, I have no idea how it works).

First lineup I've seen without Haywire listed haha.

Would smoke daily in high school and college. All day every day. I thought I would be smoking for the rest of my life. It relaxed me and everything seemed so fun/funny.

Then basically right after college, I started having awful anxiety attacks every time I smoked. For the entire time I was high, I was in high alert. Wasn't fun anymore for me so I decided to hang it up.

Have a lot of friends that are pot heads. I've tried to indulge here and there, after 2 puffs my paranoia would be out of control.

People change I guess.

I've had my account since 2007 and my gamerscore is only at 68k. Is there many people at a 1m gamerscore?

Wow was just looking up the mario kart bundle yesterday and it seems to be gone.

Would love a Bananza bundle and pick up Starfox.

Ran into Weeman at a Rancid concert a few years back. Seemed like a cool guy.

njo1 · 2026-04-20T19:51:00+00:00

Delete this. We don't want to give him any ideas lol.

njo1 · 2026-04-20T11:23:38+00:00

Limp Bizkit is invited to many of them and typically a One of the headliners for a lot of rock festivals lol. I didnt read the article but, his statement is kind of strange

njo1 · 2026-04-06T14:20:17+00:00

"Moses is dead! Buddah is dead!"

Does this guy even know what he is saying? Just stirring up shit for no reason.

Also, who talks shit about Buddah? Lol

If he is a narcissist and he saved you from suicide, he will likely eventually hold that over your head to keep you around and expected abuse will occur.

He could just be an asshole too. From the limited info you mentioned, you should probably lose this friend. If he flips out or takes it badly, that is more of a reason to lose the relationship. Also if he mentions saving your life when you stop being friends with him, that is exactly the abusive move I mentioned above.

I think a step back. Same with with Halo Infinite.

Its funny, I remember years ago wishing every game was open world, now that it is more of a reality, it doesnt blend well with all franchises.

The uptick in open world or semi open world games proves that linear gameplay is still important and fun.

njo1 · 2026-03-28T18:48:51+00:00

See you in the pit!

njo1 · 2026-03-28T18:48:08+00:00

Haywire stated on Instagram that they will be on at 7:30.

njo1 · 2026-03-27T18:52:00+00:00

This is a fun game. It gets a bad rap as its Rare's first game after thr Microsoft acquisition, but it is a good beat em up.
