    30 minutes out from seeing MachineGames' Indiana Jones title, a reminder that Wolfenstein 2 had one of the most based marketing campaigns of all time.

    Replying to @roboplato
    From the Developer_Direct waiting screen:
    Text reading "MachineGames has been fighting Nazis since Wolfenstein: The New Order. It's a proud tradition they're happy to continue in their work on Indiana Jones."

    PlayStation appears to be losing Themes with PS5, but gaining picture-in-picture viewing features...which Xbox lost a while ago, but has now gained Themes. This is way funnier to me than it should be.

    Finished Pentiment. Phenomenal narrative adventure that handles the consequence of ambiguity in crime better than anything else I've seen/played this year. Great mystery, characters, and a love letter to 16th century Germany. Thanks, @Obsidian #Pentiment #XboxShare #XboxSeriesX

    With Baldur's Gate 3 getting so much (rightfully deserved) attention, I hope more people check out Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among Thieves. It's still one of my favorite films of the year and I genuinely believe in a few years it'll be looked back on as a modern classic.

    And finished. What a masterpiece @DoubleFine has crafted here. Psychonauts 2 is just excellent in every respect. #Psychonauts2 #Xbox

    Halo Infinite sandbox update. Pretty aesthetic and design focused, it's worth a read. Highlights: -Hunters will be more faster and more dangerous -Some equipment is physics-based, with wild results Also more gun renders, which look *fantastic*. windowscentral.com/halo-infinite-…

    First time every trying out the @Xbox Design Lab, I wanted my first picks to be special, so I decided to make two controllers themed after characters from @ArkaneStudios games.
    A custom Xbox Series X|S controller, with a red body, yellow bumpers and a metallic blue D-pad.
    Artwork of Morgan Yu standing in a hall holding a shotgun, from the criminally-underrated 2017 game Prey, developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.
    A custom Xbox Series X|S controller, with a deep blue body, purple thumbsticks, and void grey metallic D-pad.
    Artwork of Emily Kaldwin holding a sword and using Void powers, from the 2016 game Dishonored 2, developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.

    Random thoughts I've had re - Xbox Games Showcase: -This is easily the strongest first-party Xbox has ever had -Obsidian is proving they're a powerhouse with backing -Fable, Avowed, inXile's next game, (presumably) The Outer Worlds 2; Xbox could be *the* WRPG publisher next-gen
