How many games are in your Steam library, both installed and not?

Hehehehehe...

What's an aspect of gaming culture that you loved but is practically dead/irrelevant these days?

Could be super snarky and say completed games, but I'll go with the Xbox Live Marketplace. The points system was total bullshit, but you and all your friends collectively hopping on the latest indie gem promoted through the service was great fun, though I'm not saying I'd trade the modern Indie market where anything's available and possible for it, but lots of good memories.

Do you have a favorite CoD from the 8th console gen to current day? What makes it your favorite?

Hmm, Modern Warfare's the best one I've played by far, but I do have some brief but fun memories of Advanced Warfighter's multiplayer. American Football with Jet Packs and Guns turns out is a much better version of Football, and I'll never forget some of the plays I made on that mode with a friend.

Thoughts on CoD Mobile?

I gave a brief summary in my Mobile Games video, pretty unremarkable title that I don't intend to ever revisit. I just don't see why they couldn't port COD4 or Black Ops to the platform.

Youtube video-game essayist Battle-Royale, who's your bet on the last one standing?

Mandalore, because he's already got armor.

Jake Malone Asks
Played black mesa?

The mod version yes, but of the Steam version? Only earlier builds, pre Xen, which didn't impress me, but I've heard the game dramatically improved since then, and one of the developers is a big enough fan of my work, he sent some swag, so I'll boot it up again sometime.

There's never enough Half Life.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how infectious is Joseph Anderson's laugh

I rate it a Bruce Greene, though scale not type.
