This past weekend, my team and I presented INFINITEQUE, powered by @AnkerOfficial and @AnkerSOLIX at the @GameOnCleveland which took place at the @ixcentercle. It was an amazing experience to share the vision of games culture and TEQUE Lifestyle with all the wonderful people in attendance!
I was honored to share that the goal of INFINITEQUE is to empower urban and underserved communities by connecting games culture, technology, and real-world skills. Through consulting services, immersive experiences, and various programs we foster creativity and digital equity, providing the tools for individuals and institutions to thrive.
Most importantly, visitors shared that they felt our warm reception and welcomed to spend time with us, which was a personal goal of mine. Creating spaces where people feel a real sense of belonging in gaming is tremendously important, and I extend this welcome to you as INFINITEQUE continues to grow!
A special thanks to @heavyjt3 for the photos and recordings, and @MaSTA_SoLIDUS at @GamerHavenCLE for the graphic design and encouragement to keep pushing forward. Thank you both for helping the dream to become reality!
Some of the most important memories people carry come from games.
The friendships.
The music.
The late-night conversations.
The community.
Empowering the Culture is about creating space for those experiences intentionally.
Registration is now open.

Read a first note from @asha_shar the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming:
Dear team,
Today I begin my role as CEO of Microsoft Gaming.
I feel two things at once: humility and urgency.
Humility because this team has built something extraordinary over decades. Urgency because gaming is in a period of rapid change, and we need to move with clarity and conviction.
I am stepping into work shaped by generations of artists, engineers, designers, writers, musicians, operators and more who create worlds that have brought joy and deep personal meaning to hundreds of millions of players. The level of craft here is exceptional, and it is amplified by Xbox, which was founded in the belief that the power of games connect people and push the industry forward.
Thank you to Phil for his leadership, and to every studio, platform, and operations team that built this foundation. We are stewards of some of the most loved stories and characters in entertainment and bring players and creators together around the fun and community of gaming in entirely new ways.
My first job is simple: understand what makes this work and protect it.
That starts with three commitments.
First, great games.
Everything begins here. We must have great games beloved by players before we do anything. Unforgettable characters, stories that make us feel, innovative game play, and creative excellence. We will empower our studios, invest in iconic franchises, and back bold new ideas. We will take risks. We will enter new categories and markets where we can add real value, grounded in what players care about most.
I promoted Matt Booty in honor of this commitment. He understands the craft and the challenges of building great games, has led teams that deliver award-winning work, and has earned the trust of game developers across the industry.
Second, the return of Xbox.
We will recommit to our core Xbox fans and players, those who have invested with us for the past 25 years, and to the developers who build the expansive universes and experiences that are embraced by players across the world.
We will celebrate our roots with a renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console which has shaped who we are. It connects us to the players and fans who invest in Xbox, and to the developers who build ambitious experiences for it.
Gaming now lives across devices, not within the limits of any single piece of hardware. As we expand across PC, mobile, and cloud, Xbox should feel seamless, instant, and worthy of the communities we serve. We will break down barriers so developers can build once and reach players everywhere without compromise.
Third, future of play.
We are witnessing the reinvention of play.
To meet the moment, we will invent new business models and new ways to play by leaning into what we already have: iconic teams, characters, and worlds that people love. But we will not treat those worlds as static IP to milk and monetize. We will build a shared platform and tools that empower developers and players to create and share their own stories.
As monetization and AI evolve and influence this future, we will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop. Games are and always will be art, crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us.
The next 25 years belong to the teams who dare to build something surprising, something no one else is willing to try, and have the patience to see it through. We have done this before, and I am here to help us do it again. I want to return to the renegade spirit that built Xbox in the first place. It will require us to relentlessly question everything, revisit processes, protect what works, and be brave enough to change what does not.
Thank you for welcoming me into this journey.

“We’re social creatures—we’re not meant to go through life alone.”
If you’re struggling, please know: you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. Reach out. Connect. Listen. Learn from brothers doing the inner work.
Mental health isn’t weakness—it’s strength, strategy, and survival.
✊🏽 Therapy is powerful. So is conversation. Let’s normalize both.

@OHBigBoss Truly inspirational.
I probably don't say it enough but I really admire everything you've done and am always hoping for the best for you and the family! Grateful for you.
"Move With Purpose"
Our bodies are meant to move.
Whether it’s cycling with friends, swimming, hooping, hiking, or fishing—let’s make movement a lifestyle, not a one-time goal. Physical health isn’t just about strength; it’s about joy, freedom, and longevity.
Let’s normalize group rides, weekend hikes, and exploring nature together. Your body deserves your attention.

"Brotherhood Is a Lifeline"
Brotherhood isn’t optional—it’s vital.
As men, we often push through life solo, but we aren’t meant to walk this road alone. I’m grateful for the friends and brothers who’ve supported me, and I encourage you to build those bonds too. Whether it’s through gaming, faith, fitness, art, or just showing up for each other, connection matters.
💬 Tag a brother who’s had your back. Let’s keep building up one another.

Not sure what was going on with X, but I wasn't able to log in or post anything for months. But, it looks like I'm back!
Let's kick this off with a week-long series of important posts about #MensHealthMonth
wait Skype just merged into Teams and now all my contacts AND chats have appeared inside Teams
people from guilds that I was in YEARS ago are now in the same place as co-workers and business connections??
this timeline is cooked
Masahiro Sakurai says Japanese developers should focus on making games that Japanese people like instead of trying to appeal to a Western audience!
“A while ago, there was certainly a culture of making Americanized products, because various works were popular in the US. However, I feel that ‘Japanese game lovers’ overseas are not looking for such things, but for something unique and interesting from Japan.
In other words, I think that the ideal would be to make games the way you like, as those who agree with you will enjoy them.”

I'm not sayin' that Cleveland was ahead of the curve (yet again) but...
Didn't @Infiniteque x @GamerHavenCLE just host a driving and racing game event a couple weeks ago? 😎
