Interesting comments in here from Horizon Steel Frontier’s executive producer. Suggests that Sony is the reason it’s not coming to PlayStation as NCSoft would have “no reason” not to bring it to the platform. www.thegamer.com/seems-like-s...

This is great, but the lack of Monster Train 2 is astonishing.

🚨new piece on kotaku... from me!🚨 I wrote about the hollow feeling of a story that mistakes movement for change. Hades II Isn’t a Story—It’s Maintenance:

I've launched a new interview series on women in esports! My first piece is with G2 Hel's Caltys, but I've already spoken to several more participants. If anyone feels they have a unique perspective worth sharing, then feel free to email me. www.thegamer.com/women-esport...

Saw Hanabie yesterday, who were, quite frankly, excellent.

Announcing that I’ve delayed my bedtime to play some more Pokemon

Tell me you didn’t read the 1,600 word interview with 11 members of the cast without telling me you didn’t read the 1,600 word interview with 11 members of the cast.

This is a fantastic project with an amazing cast! Sam has been working hard on this for a bit. So so great to see women and non-binary people championed in an industry that can often feel like it is not made for us at all

Here’s the reason I spoke to so many video game actors. I attended the launch of TIVA, an independently run audiobook series with all of your favourite voice actors, aiming to fight back against AI and corporations, featuring an all female/non-binary cast. www.thegamer.com/tiva-intervi...

I also spoke to Lae’zel actor Devora Wilde who told me how Baldur’s Gate 3 made her realise games could tell “proper stories”, and how it’s one of the best things she’s ever acted in. www.thegamer.com/devora-wilde...

Important piece this and also jelly you got to chat to her 🐣

Last week, I had the honour of attending an event with many of gaming's top actors. You'll find out what the event was for in the near future, and I'll have another larger report from it, but I also used it as an opportunity to discuss the many injustices video game actors still face.

Just binge-listened to three episodes of Critical Error while Pokemoning. While I don’t always necessarily agree with everything, these are two incredibly intelligent, articulate, and engaging gentlemen and you owe it to yourself to listen.

guys i recorded my first ever audiobook & im so proud 🥹 as a slow reader, this is a big deal for me - go listen to The Last Wishlist! it’s YA & the main character is from an russian immigrant household like me!!

This is such a bummer. TheGamer basically let me write whatever jokes I wanted about whoever I wanted in the video game industry - to the point of getting legal threats. Few places give freelancers that much freedom. It’s sad to see so many good staff writers and editors let go.

Several of my colleagues were laid off today, and seeing the usual reaction from the usual people pushed me to write a blog post (how retro) about the sad state of online discourse: jackcrustycoleman.com/2025/10/22/l...

We need to be angrier at how google is destroying the internet.

Unfortunately, my time as an Editor for TheGamer.com has come to an end. I met some of the best coworkers I've ever had there, I learned and grew a lot. If anyone is looking for a journo, especially for guides, reviews, VR, horror, and farming RPGs, I'd love to hear from you.

I got laid off from TheGamer today, along with the entire Features team (go give @epicswitzer.bsky.social and @hallafyre.bsky.social a follow!) Needless to say, I'm now looking for work. I'm open to roles in: -Journalism -PR -Copywriting -Copy editing -Games writing -Scriptwriting

In light of being laid off from TheGamer today, I don't intend to let my passions die out. I'll continue to create work independently, and keep that excitement for whatever opportunities come my way in the future. This was a dream career, and I'm not done with it yet.

Nobody is as passionate about Ninja Gaiden as George

Another fun TGS piece just dropped. I spoke to Tomohiko Sho, one of the creators of the Musou genre, to reminisce about the past 25 years of Dynasty Warriors and what the series has become. Some really interesting quotes from one of the nicest devs out there. www.thegamer.com/dynasty-warr...

I wish they'd focus their energy on amplifying the longform, well-written stories that nobody reads because Google buries them

0 support for when new/non US writers actually manage to work through the quotes to do original reporting 1000000 tweets when they make a mistake

I see games media old guard are doing the “let’s shit on the newer folks rather than offering to support them” thing again. I’m tired. As if there’s not enough aggression towards us from audiences.

Another big one from Tokyo Game Show (as I lie on my death bed). I spoke to Pragmata’s director and producer to discuss the game’s many delays, predicting the AI future, and developing a new IP in an era of remakes and remasters. www.thegamer.com/pragmata-tok...

Next up is my Denshattack preview, a game that very pleasantly surprised me! www.thegamer.com/denshattack-...

One of my favourite pieces I’ve done in a long while, it was a pleasure to chat with Maxime Mary about the work that went into the stunning Absolum: www.thegamer.com/absolum-art-...

My Age of Imprisonment preview is here. Unsurprising spoilers: I liked it a lot. www.thegamer.com/hyrule-warri...

Fuck Ubisoft, quite frankly.

After 28 hours traveling, I’m home. A weekend of rest, Hades & Silksong, then the TGS graft begins. I’ll have interviews with teams from Pragmata, Onimusha & Nioh, plus a deep dive interview into Dynasty Warriors’ history. Plus previews of Pragmata, Hyrule Warriors, Monster Hunter Stories 3 & more.

I’ve been broken for the last ~24 hours but my first big TGS piece has just dropped. I spoke to Resident Evil Requiem director, Nakanishi-san, and producer, Kumazawa-san, about returning to Raccoon City, and what they learnt from 5 & 6, and revisiting Outbreak. www.thegamer.com/resident-evi...

The King of All Cosmos finally getting the recognition he deserves! (Also disappointed Bandai didn’t invite me to check out the game.)

Tokyo Game Show day one and starting things off with a huge interview.

😇😇😇

It makes me sad how quickly games media people are quick to shit on other games media people.

games media go one week without dogpiling someone

why are we all pretending like every time you get a code you get incredibly explicit instructions on the embargo details? I got a code from an editor on discord last week with nothing other than the emargo date. I get it this person made a mistake but come on some of you are being so bad faith

My final Gamescom piece is finally here. I got to speak to the excellent @aliona.bsky.social, @alixwiltonregan.bsky.social, Joseph Balderrama and Rasmus Hardiker about Lies of P and all things acting. One of my favourite things I’ve done in a while! www.thegamer.com/lies-of-p-ov...

Bit of personal news: after four years, I've been let go from @thegamerweb.bsky.social and am a free agent! If you need someone with half a decade of TCG and tabletop and over a decade of video game coverage experience, please get in touch at [email protected]!

My chat with Randy is up. I am begging you all to read it. Especially the Stop Killing Games bit. www.thegamer.com/randy-pitchf...

This is a wild one. Anybody ever heard of King Cook for the PS3? t.co/HqEiWRzyvE

PR friends, I’ll be at TGS again this year. Lemme know what you’re cooking.

Spent my morning looking into the NFT game Ubisoft released last year. Unsurprisingly, it looks like they've abandoned it. Focus is now on a spin-off game with *checks notes*, one player. www.thegamer.com/ubisofts-nft...

I went to watch Bring me the Horizon, loved what they did with the show and the game references it included, reached out to their people, interviewed them.

This is fantastic.
