well i guess we deserved one of these after the 20 years of being annoying. probably the worst offensive SB performance i've ever seen. at least Seattle is a likable team, congrats to Seahawks fans.
right! closer to QA than anything
obviously don't abuse but if you think a game sucks, you should say it sucks! "appreciation" is the enemy of criticism
this is a bad reviewer, actually
how do i reconcile liking that Geese album with the fact that i live in actual Long Island City and genuinely enjoy it here
Work-related note: I am on paternity leave for the next two months. I’ll be back at Engadget starting March 2.
using grok to do an epic vulgar roast of all my friends
it's with mixed emotions that i can confirm nursing pillows make for great lap desks
truly cannot express how funny it is that people spent a couple years torching their life savings on shitty drawings of apes. just the worst monkey pics you've ever seen. how could anyone have expected things to get better for us after that
as an american who recently had a kid, the only attainable goal i have left in life is, of course, to finish in the top 10k in Fantasy Premier League. it's year 11 for me, previous best rank is 22k, last year was 76k (which was enough for top 1%). here's my team to start the year:
waxed poetic about FAST FUSION for our new list of Switch 2 game recs www.engadget.com/gaming/ninte...
my 1-month old has only shit on our wall three times thus far and tbh i think those are pretty good defensive numbers on my part
tired: sleep while your baby sleeps
wired: run anaglyph deck at 2:30am while your infant keeps you up all night
he’s only gone and done it lads
microsoft branding a studio as "AAAA" only to have it spend 7 years building a game that doesn't ship before it cans the whole staff seems like the perfect microcosm for the video game industry in 2025
also yet another reminder that Final Fantasy 13 came out at the wrong time, since that one also had 20 hours of plot wheel-spinning and aggressively linear "world" design. but it didn't bring it all home the way this one does (and its dopamine hits weren't as fine-tuned)
was pretty set on a 4 or 5/10 here but that third act really is pretty bold. turned the whole thing around for me
i moved from boston to new york about a decade ago, and the only persistent belief i've held about this city over that time is that knicks fans deserve every ounce of torment that ever befalls them
here is a 100-word review / some bad poetry on the reflective qualities of EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2 jeffreviewsgames.wordpress.com/2025/05/10/e...
i'm liking CLAIR OBSCUR: EXPEDITION 33, but the "we have Moogles at home" and "we have 'Aerith dies' at home" energy is undeniable
here's my write-up of the new Backbone Pro controller. i like it! a clear upgrade over the original. it'll be a great gift. but $170 for a mobile gamepad is always gonna be a tough sell, especially now: www.engadget.com/gaming/backb...
herded up a little (early) group retrospective on the Nintendo Switch ahead of the Switch 2's release (mainly so i could have a new excuse to blab about Gunpei Yokoi on the site) www.engadget.com/gaming/ninte...
games media has been in a slow-motion extinction event for years but it's no less terrible when the wrecking ball hits. best wishes to everyone affected, shocking amount of talent to just discard. always have a soft spot for polygon, helped me start out back in 2012 kotaku.com/polygon-sold...
walmart charged and cancelled on me four times, leading my bank to lock my debit card. best buy kicked me out of eight 90-min queues without giving me a chance to order. then, at 1:40am, i (tentatively) got the new nintendo thing. i'm 34 and having a kid in two months. what am i doing with my life
wrote a little review of LONELY MOUNTAINS: SNOW RIDERS, one of my favorite games of 2025 so far, for our running best Xbox games post: www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/...
put together an explainer on the Switch 2 + microSD Express situation. i've tested the one (1!) card that was available to purchase prior to Wednesday, and it is indeed a major leap forward. but be ready to pay for it, at least to start. file sizes will be key: www.engadget.com/gaming/ninte...
here's my review of the new iPad, in which (1) "no Apple Intelligence" is both a pro and a con, (2) i spend a paragraph talking about Infinity Nikki, (3) i continue my crusade against non-laminated displays and (4) there's a photo of a very good dog: www.engadget.com/mobile/table...
covering tech at the start of my career: "lol...touchwiz"
covering tech today: "the richest man on earth is trying to put my mother out of a job"
asked that Apple Intelligence Genmoji thing to make me an emoji of "the word 'true'". that was the whole prompt
it came back with this masterpiece
think i'm coming around on generative AI
