I wanted to find a way to throw some love to the kreators, so I thought that was a fun way. As a side note, it's 806 West Washington Blvd. because I thought that was the NetherRealm address in Chicago, but I think I might have gotten it wrong, lol 🤣 #MKWatchParty

There's actually a few sneaky references I buried in there. "Next time, be more punctual" was an easter egg to Goddard's "I love punctuality in a woman." I think someone caught that one. #MKWatchParty

The fireball running joke was probably one of the first jokes put into the script. After five years, it never got cut. We all loved it too much ;) #MKWatchParty

I’ve heard only 40% of wannabe screenwriters finish their first script so getting to the Fade Out puts you 60% ahead of the pack when it comes to other try-hard writers. Get to the end no matter what. Fix that shit on the flip side #screenwriting

Long time no tweet. Excited to say I’m closing a deal to adapt one of the greatest FPS games of all time but not just to write, to DIRECT this time! Excited for some creative control ;) … Details coming real soon. Big love. ✌️#Bygamers4gamers.

Greg Russo: “The story idea really is everything. It’s the beginning of everything we do, everything follows that idea. To me, I think that’s the hardest part of screenwriting. Finding the idea.” #screenwriting

‘Squid Game’ creator Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote the show in 2009 but was rejected by studios for 10 years. He once had to stop writing the script + sell his $675 laptop due to money struggles. Today, it’s #1 in 90 countries + set to become the most-watched show in Netflix history.

What I can tell you is it followed RE7 into RE8. Basically Ethan, Mia, Zoe, Eveline, etc. But there was uncertainty at the time as to how RE7 was going to perform. This was early 2017. In hindsight, it performed really well. Idk. Would have been fun. 🤷‍♂️

Beyond pumped for this and super grateful to be part of a team of actual gamers/developers who deeply love System Shock as much as I do. SHODAN is coming. See you soon, insects… #bygamersforgamers Allan Ungar binge Nightdive Studios deadline.com/2022/01/mortal… via @Deadline
