Something Big Is Coming For A Hat In Time Tomorrow


As you may already know, I'm a big fan of A Hat in Time—which is why I'm so hyped that they have a big announcement coming tomorrow!

This image was posted to Gears for Breakfast's official Twitter account a few days back. To me it teases a "Nintendo Direct" style livestream announcement. I'm sure it won't be as massive as Nintendo's live events—this is a small indie team, after all—but the hype is no less real for it.

The livestream will begin at 3pm EDT / 12pm PDT tomorrow, April 25th on their Twitch channel. Go follow them on Twitch to catch it live yourself. I will be tuned in, and posting my summary and thoughts shortly after the stream, so if you can't make it I'll be sure to update you on what went down.

As for what they could be announcing... it could be any number of things. A new DLC? A release date for the Switch port? Something really radical, like a sequel or a new game by Gears for Breakfast?

The biggest clues we have to go on is the image above and their recent marketing campaign centered around the hashtag #WhereIsHatKid.





This hashtag has been going for awhile, and it's unclear if it's meant to tease something new or is just a fun guessing game with the fans (although the announcement post also has #WhereIsHatKid, which makes me believe they could be related). Another interesting point is, in the announcement image, Hat Kid appears to be missing her hat!

So what is coming? We'll just have to wait. They did confirm that no, sadly it isn't an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (as epic as that would be). My guess is a new DLC announcement. They've already said there's going to be one more, and they recently talked about the Switch port, so if it was that they probably wouldn't make such a big deal out of it.

What do you think will be announced tomorrow? Are you hyped? Do you plan to watch the announcement live? Let me know in the comments section!

10 Reasons Why A Hat In Time Is Better Than Mario Odyssey

Don't get me wrong—I love Super Mario Odyssey. There's no denying the level of polish and care put into that game, and it truly is the best Mario game in years. It's just that there's this little indie game that's better.

High-Intensity Interval Writing; How to Write More in Less Time

Image by Caleb Roenigk. I check the clock to see it's a little past 4 in the afternoon. For the most part, it's been a lazy day; woke up with some coffee, played with my kids, had a leisurely lunch break. My goal for the day was to crank out some writing on my new book, but I only spent about three and a half hour actually writing. How much progress did I make? over 4,600 words. Nearly three times the daily number people shoot for during National Novel Writing Month , or what will someday be about 18 pages in the novel. It was a record-breaking number, yet it felt like I hardly worked at all. I threw all those words on paper without stressing, or pressure, or working long grueling hours. What I did that day was sustainable  and repeatable , not a one-time fluke success. What did I do that worked so well? I used the same principle I do with exercise.

8BitDo SN30 Pro Controller Review: Retro Style Meets Modern Features

My poor wife. She humors my gaming hobby so well, despite not being a gamer herself. She has also inadvertently helped me realize how crazy us gamers sound sometimes, when explaining why we need  something that we clearly don't. Case in point is this retro-style Switch controller by 8BitDo. I kept eyeing this thing up. The Super Nintendo aesthetic really did it for me, and despite having all the gaming accessories I needed , I found myself wanting this for no good reason. She didn't complain when I grabbed the overpriced Switch Pro Controller, because I had a valid need—trying to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a pair of joy cons was far from ideal. But as I explained how I had no practical need for this new controller, but wanted it anyway, she gave me some very confused looks. Thankfully my wife is amazing, and ended up buying me the controller as a surprise birthday present. And I'm glad she did, because I really like this thing! I've clocked in some
