I’m beyond thrilled to share that I’m joining Games Done Quick as their new Creative Director. I’ve been such a fan and admirer of GDQ for what feels like a lifetime. It’s a sincere dream to take what I’ve learned from building Six One and bring it to these *unbelievable* events and daily streams.

Super happy to be back in @rollingstone.com for the second time this week. This story was a great time to research and write. This is Mario’s world. You’re just living in it. www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Please God just send me a sign. The sign:

Cade’s one of the coolest co-workers I’ve ever had and his love for FPS shows no bounds. Definitely check this one out! I know I will be!

There’s two, both pertaining to dialogue. For sure when the subtitles make it obvious someone is going to be cut off with a — or (noise). The second is when dialogue just stops mid-conversation to start a in-world cutscene. Takes me out😭

Friday at last…

My 2 hour MW3 documentary drops tomorrow!!!

New byline alert: I put together a roundup of some of my favorite indie horror games I saw during PAX East for @fangoria.bsky.social! Check it out: www.fangoria.com/best-indie-h...

Almost 4 months to the day since my last story a staffer, I'm happy to be back in Rolling Stone. Last week I flew to Japan to speak with Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination CEO, Chris Meledandri, about #TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie. Read it @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

GOD I HOPE MY REVIEW IS IN THIS

We had a good squad for our early screening of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie last night. My review coming soon to both GameInformer.com and, later this week, the All Things Nintendo podcast! @kylehilliard.com @itsvanaken.games @yozetty.bsky.social

Hey! I just launched Autofill, a gaming newsletter for people who casually enjoy video games but aren't tuned in to keep up with the news—a broad but underserved audience. There's also a fun interactive component to the newsletter. Share it with your friends! www.autofill.news/p/autofill-n...

lmao

I reviewed @raccoingame.bsky.social, published by the excellent @playstack.com. This might just be your next Balatro-level addiction. It's about pushing coins, so how exciting can it be? Well, you just wait. Here's my review! techraptor.net/gaming/revie...

Indian journalist looking to review anticipated game with lead Indian protagonist played by an Indian actor. Want to review Saros, please. Have covered many games with South Asian leads over the years. Have written about South Asian characters/games for a multitude of publications. Please, help.

I love whenever I decide to play something new, I play Balatro while it downloads and end up just playing that the whole time.

Square Enix shares an illustration by Tetsuya Nomura to mark the 24th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series. Nomura writes a note that the team is working hard towards the series 25th anniversary (in 2027) and thanks fans for their support.

The second and final trailer for my two-hour documentary about the making of MW3 (2011) is now live! The full video will release next Friday at 6PM ET and features exclusive interviews with Glen Schofield, Michael Condrey, Robert Bowling, Brian Crecente, and others! I can’t wait to release it!

Wake up, Envoy – Soulframe is the next game to grace the cover of Game Informer! We visited Digital Extremes to learn about the team's upcoming fantasy MMO. Plus, in a first for us, we're excited to reveal that all subscribers will receive a Soulframe Founders code! gameinformer.com/cover-reveal...

Just took a big financial blow today, so I'm here to say that I'm very open to any video game writing work. Writing and editing experience, happy to take on reviews, guides, features, etc. My essays have gotten comments like "the best thing I've read on this website," I can do those for you too!

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

Friday at last…

Ryu Ga Gotoku and Masayoshi Yokoyama are back in Stranger Than Heaven! Break through the underworld of Japan across five eras, in five cities.

My brother earlier brought up Joel McHale and the more I think about it, the more it works haha. Community reunion with Donald Glover AND has done gaming parts like Johnny Cage and hosted the terror that was VGX. Should be a fun one to see who it is, if they cast big!

I cannot wait to see more of this. One of my most anticipated titles!

I have no interest in this man’s problems

In regards to the surprise Super Mario Galaxy Movie addition today (no spoilers here!), I do have three actors that I think would be cool to hear as them. 1. Paul Rudd 2. Kumail Nanjiani 3. Glen Powell Hopefully won’t know until it releases, but was not expecting it this morning, for sure haha.

That character reveal in today’s Super Mario Galaxy Movie poster would have been really cool to see in the movie. It’s not like nobody was planning on seeing the sequel to one of the biggest animated films of all time, so why spoil that?

One year ago today, we officially relaunched Game Informer, which felt like the longest of longshots after we were shut down just 8 months prior. I'm so grateful each and every day that I get to continue doing this work I love with people I love and for a magazine I've loved my whole life.

I woke up with Grammy Award-winning hit “Smooth” by Carlos Santana featuring Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 in my heart. It’s going to be a good day.

I reviewed the Meetup in Bellabel Park expansion! I went in with a lot of skepticism since I don’t care about Mario Party-style minigames in my 2D platformer, but I found a lot to like.

"Sora, you're done now. Your journey ends here. Goodbye, Sora. Your time in this world is...!"

Seeing a lot of people posting about Sora being dead :/ wish people were more cautious about sharing Kingdom Hearts 4 leaks
