I'm a big fan of what @digitaleclipse.bsky.social has done since Atari 50, so it's fantastic to see behind the curtain for how they get behind the curtain. Before taking the kiddos out trick-or-treating, read @davidlcraddock.bsky.social on the MK Legacy Kollection. www.shacknews.com/article/1462...

It's the deepest dive I've ever seen into what we're trying to do at @digitaleclipse.bsky.social. www.shacknews.com/article/1462...

Got to spend some time with @davidlcraddock.bsky.social to talk about my love for MK and my role helping MKLK. This entire read is incredible, but I'm partial to Chapter 6, myself. For no real reason...

Exciting news: I have an agent!📚 I’ve signed with Rachel Swyer of The Swyer Agency. Our first project together is my horror novel, which she called “a bold reimagining of the vampire mythos.”🧛‍♀️ We plan to go on submission early next year. #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky

I was honored to be interviewed as part of this look into the making of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. I'm not going to lie, I was gobsmacked that my contribution got an entire chapter.

It's the making of a making of! Awesome. And congrats to @digitaleclipse.bsky.social on today's release. I've got it downloaded and ready to check out tonight.

David is the guy I interviewed when I wanted to talk to a Mortal Kombat expert. He is the guy who did the best work out there reporting on the history of the franchise. Read this!

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is almost here (or if it's October 30 where you live, already here)! Here are the online features that are available at launch, and our plans for the immediate future:

Tomorrow is my most anticipated release of 2025. Digital eclipses interactive museums have been tremendous. If you value video game history you HAVE to buy the mortal kombat legacy collection. Big sales on this could change the fure of game preservation for the better.

How Kingdom Hearts became a gateway into Final Fantasy for me.

GTA San Andreas remains my favorite entry in the series.

Today is Fight4Rare! It's a fun silly SF6 custom character invitational with lots of improv on the mic, but has a serious goal: raising $10k for the Raiden Science Foundation's fight vs rare genetic diseases. Please spread the word, tune in, & donate! 🕑 2pm PT 🎮🎙️ see below 📍 twitch.tv/teamsp00ky

Glad you’re able to keep the legacy going. It’s one of my favorite systems.

Happy 25th anniversary to the #PS2! Join the @shacknews.com staff as we reminisce on two+ decades of PlayStation 2 goodness. youtu.be/DmgpANV7d_A?...

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

I don't think I've ever seen this happen. www.shacknews.com/article/1457...

I came on this week's episode to gush about #Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World and share some of my thoughts about Qiddaya buying out #EVO and what it could mean for the #FGC! Please watch or I'll tell Kirby you ate his Car Cake and didn't save him any.
