Senior Executive Editor at @IGN. Car guy. Friend to dogs everywhere. The "DMC" is because I used to own a DeLorean. Yes, really.

10 months ago I was in the parking lot of the veterinary cardiologist crying tears of sadness. My Boxer, Daisy, had been diagnosed w/serious heart disease at just 3 years old.

Today I cried there again, but out of joy. Defying all odds, she is CURED. Normal ♥️ size/function! 🥲

Steam Machine pricing announced. Over $1000 for the base 512gb version. Microsoft does have much larger economies of scale, so maaaaaaaybe Helix will be under $1000? I'm bracing myself for it to be over, though. Of course, the world changes quickly, so 🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/0djw6iZ0CI

RIP to Bobby Prince, who was responsible for, among others, the incredible soundtrack to the original Doom, which I have listened to countless times and loved hearing every single time: https://t.co/K59Qhdonry

Almost dead-even results on this GTA 6 poll! We'll find out which group was correct in less than a week.

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

Now that we know GTA 6 is landing on November 19 and preorders are opening next week, it means we're about to find out the price. So how much (in USD) do you think the base version of the game will cost?

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@ChrisHeffling I respect that point of view. But we're looking at this from the perspective of gamers, whom we represent in the context of that conversation. We don't have Microsoft's game-by-game budget and P&L numbers to have a financial conversation that's grounded in factual data.

New Unlocked is here. It’s titled, “Hello Darkness My Old Friend.” You know why.

I think we had a really in-depth, mature conversation about the latest round of chaos and bad news happening at Xbox. If you’d like to check it out, here’s the YT link:

@BigHomieTony @Xbox_Nostalgia For sure! I don't remember what we gave it, though. That one came out RIGHT after I started at OXM, so it probably got reviewed in the issue that was put to bed right before I joined.

7 burning questions ahead of GTA 6's pre-order day next week: https://t.co/ddB8SRpRqJ

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@afdrumss I totally see your point, but it would be a heck of a gut punch at this point if they open preorders...with a 2027 date on it. 😜

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@afdrumss Do you really think they'd be opening preorders if they were delaying it again?

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@MattFizell I totally hear you! You've been a super nice guy and we've interacted on here lots of times. I agree that Satya is a factor here, for sure, but I don't think you can dismiss the Xbox CEO's role in this so easily and pin it all on Satya, that's all.

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@bloodfaros I appreciate you taking the time to listen to that entire long episode, and thank you for the kind words!

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@MattFizell Matt, Jerry Jones is ALSO the GM of the Cowboys. 😉

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@MattFizell James Dolan does not run the Knicks team. He OWNS the Knicks team. Leon Rose runs the Knicks team. He assembled the roster. He makes the player personnel decisions. There might be INPUT from Dolan, but Rose runs the team.

It's the same here.

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@bloodfaros Whatever is most convenient for you!

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

@MattFizell Because she literally heads the Xbox business now, not Satya.

@klwtts @Rivian The first run doesn't have the proper hardware for Autonomy+, right? Not sure if I'm remembering that correctly...
