Watched No Other Choice. Park Chan-wook has still got it and effortlessly plays with the medium in the most fun ways imaginable.

Hollow Knight: Silksong true ending done. Well worth the wait

Y'all know who I mean

That’s one ending down on Silksong. Very fun ”last” boss.

Hang out with NVC during the Nintendo Direct! We'll be live from 5:55 a.m. Pacific, live react to the show from 6-7, and do a live post show from 7-8:15. Hope to see you there! www.youtube.com/live/6xF_F4K...

Having a very good time with Silksong

Fear the Old Blood 🩸🧠👁️

Checked into our hotel room in Rome and sucked into something out of Resident Evil. Got a key item and everything

Another year, another IGN gamescom down with the best team in the business. Had a blast show producing, directing production, and even hosting the Silksong announcement stream and Dragon Quest 1&2 HD 2D Remake interview.

Barcelona, Spain

Stepped away from the director’s chair during IGN’s gamescom Studio coverage to interview the producer of the Dragon Quest 1&2 HD 2D Remake, Masaaki Hayasaka and translator, Gavin Poffley. Fun interview and I cannot wait to play DQ1&2 again youtu.be/NIEPS8BNqd4?...

malcom in the middle fanart i made years ago that i still like

Loved Weapons. Delightful structure and equal parts laughs and terror.

Had the pleasure of interviewing Akira Yamaoka about the vinyl release of the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack. Each of his answers was thoughtful, and meaningful and easily one of the best interviews I’ve ever conducted. youtu.be/JStq4Jn_CtI?...

Watched my first episode of Columbo. I’m hooked!

One of the impacted members. 🫡 My co-workers at IGN are incredible and every one of us who was let go and every one of those who is still there deserves so much better.

*Record Scratch* Freeze Frame. "You're probably wondering how I got here." I am one of the eight IGN members laid off. During my three years at IGN, I worked for some of the best creators and writers around. I will miss them all dearly.

Shared with permission: my incredible colleague, NVC producer Red Rigos, was impacted by IGN's layoffs yesterday. We're heartbroken: Red is kind, funny, talented, and dedicated and has been a huge part of NVC's growth and success. Please hire him: www.redrigos.com/ign

Matt Kim is top-tier talent. Excellent writer, interviewer, on-camera talent, and so much more. I could on and on singing his praises. Any workplace would be lucky to have him.

Beat Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound in two sittings. Fantastic game

Loved it boxd.it/aAglCV

Alright, silly names aside, The Adventures of Elliot scratches the Ys/Zelda/Hyper Light Drifter part of my brain. Lots to explore and some fun, simple systems that complement the combat — like a counter that tracks every enemy you kill but resets upon taking damage. Smart!

Donkey Kong Bananza was a blast.

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️

Can’t get enough Slay the Spire so we’re playing coop Slay the Spire

Last note of the night — I think Yu Yu Hakusho might be the greatest English dub of all time?

Whatever happened to the dude that ran over Yusuke Urameshi in Yu Yu Hakusho? Clearly his life is over cuz he ran over a child but then that kid came back to life? What happens then?’

Perhaps the most important rating anime power level ever invented

This makes me happy

Still thinking about my time with Death Stranding 2. A remarkable improvement over the original that relishes in its silliness and sincerity. Art direction that stands heads and shoulder above the rest. Also a big fan of Daichi Miura now

Predator: Killer of Killers rocked. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen a good anthology and this was a delight through and through

Switch 2 boot up music really makes you wanna…croon it

Had no idea -- but today is my 6 year anniversary @ign.com! I love what I get to do and really proud of finessing my producing, directing, and hosting skills. This is officially the longest job I've ever had in my life and I'm glad I get to do it with the coolest coworkers in the business.

I am very much enjoying Nightreign. I like the lack of voice chat as an interesting adaptation of the series use of ambiguous storytelling through environment, items, and NPC interactions.

Our little union is getting a bit bigger! Today, we proposed the addition of our product, engineering, and Humble Bundle folks into our unit. Join us in welcoming our peers and asking IGN Entertainment Inc. management to voluntarily recognize their addition into our union!

Super proud I got to host and produce IGN’s latest episode of GTFM in response to the GTA 6 Trailer 2 drop. It’s days like this that make working at IGN a blast with everyone in front of and behind the scenes firing on all cylinders. www.youtube.com/live/6I5aPXe...

Finished Act Two of Clair Obscur. What a game.
