the little man has grown a lot over the past 7 months, so I'm now taking my final paternity leave to spend my summer with him. I've gotta train him ready for Arsenal's Hale End 😉 I won't be on here as often as usual over the coming months, but I'll be back fully in September 🫡
I won’t be as active on here for a couple of months, as I’m taking some time off to look after a new arrival 👶🍼

in the recent Halo: Campaign Evolved preview, Halo Studios accidentally left some unfinished cinematics in the PC build. I’m not going to spoil any of them, but Halo fans are really gonna love one in particular 🙏

with all the talk of "radically different" console business models for Xbox, I think it was clear from Asha's Bloomberg interview that the future of Xbox consoles is OEM hardware. Why say Xbox will put out "great reference experiences" and hint at a Windows future if not

surprising, to say the least, to see Microsoft admit this publicly. Some harsh truths in Asha's memo about the reality of how the Xbox business has been managed

every time I go on vacation or paternity leave, something crazy happens at Microsoft. Maybe I should just work 24/7

Xbox CEO @asha_shar says there will be more Xbox exclusives. “Our business isn't particularly healthy, as you noted, and so we're starting by introducing 1 or 2 signature exclusives, and as the business is healthy, we will look to try and do more." youtube.com/watch?v=o0hMSekk…
