The best games of 2025 give a glimpse into a better world โ€” where artists can invite audiences into their memoirs, where AAAs are thematically ambitious and small teams can sculpt epics.

This is also my 100th(!!) proper video on YouTube, a milestone seven years in the making

โ€œThe winds diverged here to sweep the land like a whisper, and sometimes like a shatter. To the North the trail led, to the skies that grew with clouds and ominous hush. But beyond that was the reason, the place to lie at journeyโ€™s end.โ€

Peek-a-boo with an octopus and her eggs ๐Ÿ™ˆ

MBARI researchers used ROVs to study pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) mothers nesting near warm seafloor springs. Unlike other deep-sea octopuses, their eggs hatched in under two years. The extra warmth boosted metabolism of the moms and their broods.

This is what I would call a "first pass" at a new area. I plan to come back and add details, maybe move things around a bit. But all the main elements are there...

Here's the link and some of the sweet thematic beepage. Seems to be expanding from the initial proof-of-concept into what might hopefully be a full lil game.

Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara (1996) was a fantasy arcade beat 'em up with light RPG elements by Capcom and a sequel to 1993's D&D: Tower of Doom. Two years have passed since the defeat of Deimos, the big baddie in Tower of Doom, but now a new evil threatens conquest. (a dragon's thread)

On 2 September 1973 J.R.R. #Tolkien died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.

He may have died 52 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all. Namรกriรซ. #BookSky

TES III: Morrowind is my favorite game, so it's fun to see how Dagoth-Ur and the rest of Morrowind were presented in 1994 by the first #ElderScrolls game: Arena! ๐ŸŒ‹ I also enjoyed dropping audio "Easter eggs" here and there throughout this video. ๐Ÿ˜
