Favorite TV Shows
Lost, to me, is one of the best shows of all time. No other show I've seen manages to catch my attention and get me as invested in the characters' lives and backstories. Plus, TV shows these days are too short- who can grow to love a character after only 10 episodes?
Favorite Console
I think in my hearts of hearts I'm a Nintendo guy. My first console was a Gameboy Color and I took that thing everywhere. Then, when the Wii came out I was head over heels for the creative and unique Wii-mote gameplay. And now, of course, I adore the portability of the Switch.
Favorite Movies
Two very different answers: Titanic and Inception. Both appeal to different parts of me. Titanic is peak cinematic drama and offers something for everyone. Inception itches the part of my brain that loves a sci-fi thriller, and it's always a treat to rewatch and see what new details I find.

One New Game May Lessen the Blow of the GTA 6 Delay
Grand Theft Auto 6 might go down as one of the most anticipated games of all time, so fans were ecstatic when the first official trailer dropped in December 2023. However, Rockstar recently announced that the game had been pushed back to May 2026, adding another year to what’s already been a long wait. It’s a tough pill to swallow for fans, but there are at least some other titles that might help tide players over until the next chapter in the franchise finally arrives. One that stands out is The Precinct, a game that’s probably already popped up on the radar of indie fans. Developed by Fallen Tree Games, The Precinct was in development for six years before releasing last week. At first glance, it might not look like it shares much with GTA—especially not the latest entries—but its gameplay actually calls back to the series’ roots.
The Switch 2 Launch Lineup Already Has 1 Huge Advantage Over the Switch 1's
The Nintendo Switch 2 is on the horizon, and critics have raised concerns about its launch lineup, claiming that it might not live up to expectations. That said, the Switch 2 does have at least one big edge over the Switch 1’s original launch lineup. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild helped propel the original Switch to early success, but it wasn’t technically a true exclusive. It launched on Wii U the same day as it did on Switch, and it was originally developed with the Wii U in mind. That’s not the case this time around. Mario Kart World, Nintendo’s first major Switch 2 exclusive, won’t be playable on the original Switch at all. If you want the next big Mario Kart, you’ll have to upgrade.
The Switch 2's Future Zelda Game Has a Perfect Way to Inherit BotW, TotK's Innovation
The Switch 2 is already shaping up to have a strong lineup of games, but one big question still lingers—when will we see the next mainline Legend of Zelda? After the massive success of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, another entry feels inevitable, especially with updated versions of those two games already confirmed for Nintendo’s next console. Although Nintendo hasn’t shared any details yet, it's a safe bet that the Switch 2’s new Joy-Con controllers—especially their unique “mouse mode”—will influence whatever comes next.
The Sims 4 and InZOI Could Dominate the Switch 2
With the Nintendo Switch 2 just weeks away from release, fans are buzzing over its impressive launch lineup. Major franchises like Mario Kart and Hyrule Warriors are leading the charge into Nintendo’s next era—but there’s one genre noticeably absent from the hype: life simulators. Despite the genre’s massive popularity, there’s still no sign of The Sims 4 or the rising star InZOI, leaving an unexpected gap in the Switch 2’s early offerings.
Rockstar Insider Explains Why GTA 6 Delay Was ‘Necessary’
Rockstar’s recent decision to delay Grand Theft Auto 6 until 2026 has sparked a lot of discussion, but according to a trusted insider, the move was absolutely the right call. Originally expected in late 2025, the game’s release was pushed back to May 26, 2026—a shift that insiders say was crucial for maintaining the game’s quality. While fans were naturally disappointed, the blow was softened somewhat by the drop of a new trailer that once again showed off the game’s stunning visuals and ambitious scope.
