I don't know how I brainwashed ‪@PolyarcGames‬, but they're letting me take over their Discord again to grill, I mean leisurely chat with the team about Glassbreakers! 🐭



Join me next week for a roundtable talking about the new characters and any secrets I can pry out of them. 👀

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of content of late. Real life has been... real life of late. Having said that, I wanted to let you all in on a special event this week.

I am HONORED to host the FIRST Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss Town Hall in the ‪@PolyarcGames‬ Discord this Thursday (2p PDT/5p EDT/10p GMT)!



I'll be chatting w/Design Director, Chris Bourassa about the game's development & future outlook. I reviewed this game when it was in open beta and Polyarc is gearing up for a relaunch.



You can join the Discord at discord.com/invite/polyarcgames

Shortly after the town hall, I'll be live on Twitch (my first stream since March) and during that stream, I will be doing a giveaway for a Steam & Quest key for painting app Vermillion to celebrate their recent Moss pack.

Videos will resume here on this channel soon. I have one game review in the can and expect to see more quick hitter shorts for single topics I don't need a full long form video to cover.


As always, I appreciate the support. See you Thursday!

Today's video is a review of Selina: Mind At Large, a new puzzle game on Meta Quest. I do my best to keep any talk of the story surface level, but I really enjoyed this. It's a puzzle game with a child at the center, so definitely not for everyone, but you like games like The Last Clockwinder, Shadow Point, I think you'll dig this.

Keep an eye out for a giveaway on my Discord.

Into the Radius 2 is coming to Quest 3 & 3S later this year in early access. The game is currently in early access on Steam.

This is straight from ItR’s X feed.

Alien Rogue Incursion launches on Meta Quest 3 & 3S this week. I've played the game in full on both PCVR and Meta Quest 3, so I have all the details.

NOTE: Recording this game in headset had a noticeable impact on the performance which shows in the video. I stopped recording after 3 hours of play and saw an immediate change in performance, which is what most of you will see when you play it.

Hey everyone, no video today. I've been reading XR articles and blog posts today and I need a day or so to digest some information and collect my thoughts. I do want to point you towards some enlightening pieces though.

First, an excellent editorial from Henry Stockdale over at UploadVR about how Meta's change in direction is affecting developers: www.uploadvr.com/from-quest-to-horizon-how-metas-s…

Second, a blog post from Meta's Samantha Ryan where she finally says the quiet part (that I've been saying for months) out loud about the company's shift in direction: developers.meta.com/horizon/blog/2025-horizon-ecos…

I'll have a video essay breaking this all down in the next day or two. In the interim, I'm playing more VR games that I love (Arken Age, Batman NG+, etc) while I figure out what I want to say about where the industry is going.

Appreciate the people who pinged me about the bad audio on today’s video. It’s been reuploaded now.

This video details the recently leaked memo from Meta and, in CTO Andrew Bosworth’s words, 2025 being an important year for Meta’s Reality Labs division.

Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth has done his monthly Ask Me Anything. Lately they've been VERY AI and Ray Ban heavy, so I haven't covered them, but this month's had some good topics to discuss.

His full words and my reactions in this video.
