Such a fun event to host/cast. Nintendo truly knows how to focus in on creating an event that brings joy to everyone in attendance. They captured the exact tone of their games. Happy to be a small slice of Nintendo Live 2023 and thank you to my co-hosts, team, and players!

“How To” premiered at Screamfest this weekend! So proud of Chloe Dykstra and the team for this one. And Clarke Wolfe’s “A Shining Example” premiered at Fantastic Fest last month! Not a bad festival run so far for our little FearHQ short film series.

So many people I worked with at Insomniac Games a decade ago are still there. It’s amazing to see what talent retention and growth can showcase game after game. Congrats on the Spider-Man 2 reception! Can’t wait to dive in.

I'm teaching the "Psychology of Games" course in the New York Film Academy's MFA Game Design program this semester and I think the students are going to be really impressed with how I manage to talk about Blitzball from Final Fantasy X for 2 hours every class.

Remember: Mass layoffs are not normal. But, they have become a standard business practice. Literally built into the financial plan to maximize profits. The full-time employee dump ----> perma-contractor with less rights makes a loooot of money. Just not for you or me.

10 years ago, this beautiful, intense, raw gamer face graced the cover of the LATimes - possibly changing the course of the videogame industry forever.

Dusted off my "video game opinion voice" and joined Lawrence Sonntag and Bruce Greene on Inside Games to talk about the hottest new genre in gaming: laying off everyone who makes games. youtube.com/watch?v=XEkqeD…

Spoke to THR about Annapurna Interactive and it’s artistic, mid-budget place in the game industry. It’s wild how good at curating their catalogue they are. Oh, and I’m a game industry vet now. THR certified.

Been producing Smosh the Sitcom Live for the last couple months and it’s tonight! Definitely the largest live production I’ve overseen. Things will go great unless the guy next to me absolutely beefs it.

Hopped on to help produce the YouTube x Minecraft activation at VidCon! The team crushed it and seeing folks light up when they came in - can’t beat that. Also, I learned that there are thousands of kids who have better camera rigs than I’ll ever come close to!

“Late for Fate” is a part of Popcorn Frights next week! Honored to be a part of such a rad genre festival. You can grab tickets to see it virtually here: watch.eventive.org/popcornfrights… (Also, I can’t express how cool it was to see my name in Fangoria.)

We went from our "gritty reboot" phase to our "ironic reboot" phase, which means we are less than 10 years from our "Muppets reboot" phase!!! LFG!!!
