Though something of a completion-ist for open world games, Tyson rarely has the time to actually complete games, so his pile of ‘in progress games’ is more or less equal to the number of games that he actually owns.
- Tyson tends to write stories around the Sims for his nephew.
- Nate will defeat Tyson in almost any competitive video game.
- The current Mario Party line up goes: Tyson - Dry Bones, Jethro - Daisy, Rosie - Goomba, James - Yoshi, Charlie - Wario, & Jasmine - Shy Guy.
- Here is the Dragon Age Keep link for Tyson’s main Dragon Age universe. He tends to play RPGs ‘in character’. Whatever he feels the personality of that character is or the choices that seem consistent for the character’s previous choices are what Tyson will run with and he’ll see where that takes him without meta-gaming it.
- The exception to that is when Tyson is trying to Platinum a game. He doesn’t have much time to complete games, especially when he keeps going back and replaying games that he’s already perfected, but he does like to get as many trophies as he can.
- Tyson & James are trying to Platinum every LEGO game together.
- When playing Darkest Dungeon, Tyson tends to run Jester - Occultist - Hellion - Highwayman.
- Tyson is oddly fond of games like Dream Daddy & Monster Prom.
- He has pretty good aim with a controller for most games, but Tyson will always be terrible at twin-stick shooters and racing games. The latter is simply a complete lack of interest in learning.
- No matter what Tyson hates using shotguns in games. He doesn’t know if that’s a holdover from his distaste for actual shotguns, but unless trophy completion demands that Tyson uses a shotgun, he will go out of his way to avoid using one in a game.
Generally speaking, Tyson is a flexible player, but there are always a few mains that he’ll come back to in regularly played games and characters he’ll almost always have on his team when replaying games:

* Tyson is actually very fond of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. It’s one of the few shooters he can play regardless of his mental state that will not remind Tyson of his time as a soldier or his work for the web. Plus, it’s a game that James and Jethro enjoy too.
