2025 was an excellent year for games and I spent a lot of time on stream and off playing around 120 of them this year! We had a lot of heavy hitters and some duds, but I had so much fun diving into variety! Here are a few of my favorite games that I’ve played this year!

Ballionaire is Plinko, but like the version my child’s mind couldn’t have fathomed with booby traps, hens laying eggs and axes hacking eyeballs in half!

These were all major accomplishments and yet I was miserable and angry and jealous and stressed out. We weren’t living off our work. We couldn’t tour constantly because of stupid day jobs. We weren’t ‘MAKING IT’!

“Look, a lot happened last night. The Game Awards were on, I ate a majority of a crow, Statler & Waldorf heckled Geoff Keighley mercilessly, Amir Satvat won the FIRST EVER TGA Gamechanger Awardand Harrison Ford didn’t convince 21 Pilots to let him steer their plane.”

“This year I decided to stop complaining about what the Game Awards could be, and instead decided to see them for what they are: a lot of pomp with not a lot of substance.”

“For me, 2024 has been a year of intense joy and frustration, especially around content creation.”
