Article about Creative Direction on @polygon.com that I contributed to, which also features one of my very early concepts from Keeper! www.polygon.com/game-directi...

Forgot that Parks & Rec delivered a perfect finale, then jumped ahead three years for a final season 7. Mike Schur's Lost envy manifested well before The Good Place.

James Cameron draws blood in the new Avatar making-of doc Fire and Water, a hyper-technical screed against AI-generated art. Emphasis on FIRE. www.polygon.com/james-camero...

History matters in Zelda games. They imagine wars as multi-generational efforts where battles of the past set up the victories of the future. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment makes that explicit, even if its thin action doesn’t feel terribly warlike. My review. www.polygon.com/hyrule-warri...

Serious lack of Reese's representation in this year's Halloween candy haul — allergy concerns catching up to the PB & Chocolate industry?

YO! Real lovely to get a (very kind) mention in this @polygon.com piece 🥰 *especially* awesome that two of my personal favourite Promise Mascot Agency tracks are namechecked, they were a hoot to make 🚛✨ Full article here, it rules and is stacked with bangers: www.polygon.com/underrated-v...

Wrote a bit about why the gaming industry and the players who fuel it have something to learn from the Oscars awards cycle www.polygon.com/game-of-the-...

ELO -> ELO Part II -> The Orchestra -> Jeff Lynne's ELO

Big Audio Dynamite rebranded as Big Audio Dynamite II when everybody but Mick Jones left the band

Four Dog Night?

U3

We need more band sequels like Jefferson Airplane/Starship

I'm filled with butterflies and beaming with pride to announce FIRST IN FRIGHT: THE FANGORIA COMPENDIUM, a hard-cover, full-color book that details the history of Fango, the publication I've loved all my life. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fan...

"Something reminds me of Cass Elliot, but not the voice..." "No cheap shots!"

Do you think Regis ever asked ABC why he had to personally cut the $1 million checks on Millionaire

Let's do one year without a Beatles documentary

Öoo: Sooöoooo charming. Fulfilling puzzles. Short! An Animal Well Lite. Kinda hoping there's a bigger bomb caterpillar adventure in the future.

Maybe one of the most beautiful animated sequences... ever?

This is how I felt after the Yesterday trailer www.ibtimes.co.uk/tom-cruise-f...

When you play a lot of PowerWash Simulator 2, you find yourself deconstructing the very idea of video games. Asked an important question in my review: Why is swinging a sword or shooting a gun more serious than spraying down a gazebo? www.polygon.com/powerwash-si...

Dick Wolf and NBCUniversal are both behind Wolf Games, which hopes to use "ethical generative AI" to make games that look and sound daily playable versions of Law & Order. I had many questions and asked them. www.polygon.com/wolf-games-c...

Just described NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" to my child as "a popular song from my youth."

Double Fine's Keeper is a game of miracles. A meditative series of playable paintings that wonders how the mysteries of creation would bloom in a post-human world. Not always as compelling to play, but it gives you a lot of time to think. My review. www.polygon.com/keeper-revie...

Does kitsch make The Brady Bunch's "It's a Sunshine Day" better than any Partridge Family single (Good morning from 1972)

"There's not one thing that you see us do that is animated" I have doubts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZNN...

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.
