To celebrate #Xbox25 and all of the renewed excitement around @Xbox, I want to share an updated look at my collection!
Some of it is nearly 25 years old (with some rarities) and quite a few things are from those amazing trips to Los Angeles for E3 / #XboxFanFest years ago.

This is the next TV I want. I wish I could get it in time for the DOOM expansion, Halo remake, Gears E-Day, etc, but it's probably going to be quite a bit longer of a wait. Still... Someday. @LGUS

This is now available to read on ReclaimerRob.com too, but the best place is still here on X Articles as it has a bonus embedded video in the middle of the article that isn't on the site version (yet, at least).

This article was mostly written at LAX in one sitting after a week in LA for E3 2015. I still consider it the best week of my life, exactly 11 years later. It's posted here on X now too, but I had to remove some photos due to a media limit. Full article at ReclaimerRob.com

It was eleven years ago today that I was LA the first time for E3, Xbox, and FanFest events. This year even the dates/days align. I'm going through my photos as I work on putting my 2015 article on X along w/ the new one, and the nostalgia hitting me is almost too much to handle!

Eight years after being interviewed in the #XBOXFanFest line by @geoffkeighley, we met him again at FanFest and this time got him on camera with us for a great picture.
Thank you Geoff!

It's after 6am and I've been up all night writing a new article about this year's experience at the #XBOX25 FanFest and what it meant to me; after thinking about it all the last few days. Please give it a look when you have time!

An hour after #XboxFanFest, I had a goodbye with @majornelson where he gifted me an extremely rare, gold version of the regular Sphere pin he had created.
I bought the silver "Major Nelson" Sphere pin in 2018 during the short time it was available, and I've worn it for many different XBOX events and moments since then, and had last seen Major seven years ago.
As of this evening the gold variant is now part of the new and evolving gaming display in my room. I will forever treasure having the best possible souvenir from the day he shocked us all by returning at an #XBOX event, and from the man himself!
Thank you, Major. If we ever meet again you will see that gold shining on me!

He took us fans along for the ride to all the gaming events for so long before I was able to start attending too, and finally meet him as well - on the day of Xbox's 2015 E3 briefing.
As recent as the 2024 #XboxFanFest I still wear his pin, and I will do so again in LA on 6/7!

In July 2023 when Major announced his departure, I had just walked into an outdoor stadium festival for The Killers, my favorite band since 04.
I had tears in my eyes for the next hour that afternoon as I stood there in the crowd thinking back to all the memories with Major dating back almost two decades at that point. Thankfully it was somewhat raining because I was really sad at this ending of an era.
I thought back to the decade of being a fan of his before finally meeting him in 2015, and then the many years since then with him always being so great.
I'd met a hero of mine and it was always a wonderful experience, even with him always being so busy in the moments I'd catch him at events. He was a master at this stuff and always made me feel special - especially when chosen to play Halo with him on stage in Orlando. That had been the final time I'd ever seen him, four years prior, almost to the exact day in July 2019.
Then this past Sunday happened. I was able to walk out into the lobby of the venue just after the Showcase, and see him talking to us with a mic again - just like back in the day! To make it all even more special, this was behind him in the Xbox 360 area as a callback to The Killers being the band that played the Xbox 360 reveal event in May 2005.
One of the coolest moments of my life, all thanks to XBOX yet again. Usually you only get a return like that in something like a TV, film, or a game - but this was real, and it means a lot!

I think I have a new favorite picture to use as a Gamerpic! Thank you to whoever these two are! What a rare treat to get a picture with a Cortana, and no doubt the best one I've ever seen! Thank you! 🙏

Whoa. There's so much to say about what went on today at the #XBOXShowcase and #XboxFanFest. One of the best days of my life... So many cool moments and memories that I'll look back on forever. It was my favorite since the E3 days, and the best Showcase I've ever seen XBOX put on.
I'm so thankful and grateful I was able to attend. I'll be posting more soon about my favorite moments and pictures from the event. For me it was all the magic of an E3 week packed into one single day. I didn't think I'd ever truly feel that way again. I'm just blown away by how good of a job they did with everything from the show to the in-person event.
Thank you @XBOX and @asha_shar for such an amazing experience and yet another incredible year of gaming.
For a while now I've considered 2026 the best year gaming has ever had and it just keeps on delivering - largely in part of what XGS is bringing to the industry. The games about to hit us during the second half of the year look SO good.
And the best surprise... @majornelson was there!!! I was as shocked as I was when Keanu Reeves was suddenly on the XBOX stage in 2019. Us in the crowd today were seconds removed from finding out about the #XBOX25 console, when I looked up and there is Major on stage in front of me!
I thought I'd never see him again in my life, and there he was! The last time I saw him was back in July 2019 when we played Halo together on stage at Halo Outpost in Orlando. That was a great final moment of that was to be truly it, but still, it was sad to think it was all over when he left three years ago.
I had a chance to see him a few times throughout today and I'll have a special post dedicated to all that coming later this week.
Going into the event this year I kept feeling that 2015 first-time magic again from my first trip to LA for XBOX. I didn't know why, I figured it was because it was my first time going since moving last year, or just my own nostalgia for those prior times, but this event and the happenings within it completely have me feeling like I did that first time back in 2015. There's been infinite great memories since then too, but still, this was so special today and brought back people and feelings I thought were basically a lifetime ago and never to return.
I already love gaming, always have, always will, and these kind of events and memories just make it even better year-round. It was so good to see everyone, and meet so many for the first time too. I'm so glad I chose XBOX as my gaming platform all those years ago. Lots more to share soon!
