Horrible historical events aside, here’s my unwarranted thoughts on Stranger Things 5. I did really enjoy most of this season. The action was all great, the Will reveal with the big demo battle was hype, and a lot of emotional beats landed for me. Mostly happy with it all. MOSTLY

To close out the year, here’s some rapid fire reviews. First, Ghost of Yotei. I platinum’d it. It was fantastic. I truly lost myself in this world, and took entirely too many screenshots. Weirdly enough, it wasn’t the end that made me tear up, it was the bonfire scene before it.

I made some dumb shit in my free time. Behold, HALF-LIFE: HOPIUM!

Well howdy folks. Been a while since I’ve posted here. Think I wanna change that. Here, have a dumb ass #dispatch edit I made.

me every time I read the news nowadays

Howdy Blutarch. What’s your year of entertainment looking like? For me, I just finished Invincible, loving Yellowjackets and Daredevil, hyped for AC: Shadows, enjoying Avowed, enjoying Monster Hunter Wilds (though it’s UI is quite overwhelming), and looking forward to a great year in gaming overall.

the two greatest threats to Thedas

Ugh. The state of America, politics, and even video game discussion right now… ugh.

Finally finished Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Matter of fact, I 100% completed it with all achievements. That was an absolutely fantastic game. Globe trotting story with fantastic set pieces, combat, puzzles, and exploration. It also satisfied my completionism with the collectible maps. 😁

Fun fact: about a year into working on DATV, I bought myself a Varric statue. Ironically enough, as soon as I got it I ended up accidentally dropping Bianca and it broke similarly to how it does in the game. Life imitates art?

Hey folks. As of today, I am no longer with BioWare. However, I am sticking with the wonderful team at Motive Studios for the foreseeable future. Got a fantastic project cooking here. I’ll miss my BW family, but the hope is that I’ll make my way back to ME when the time comes.

Finished my FULL play-through of Cyberpunk. Finished it on release and loved it, but now it’s an entirely new game. This may be the best RPG experience on the market with the DLC. Just everything about it is fantastic. PL was mind blowing. The writing is stellar. Characters top notch. I love it all

DATV was my first AAA launch. I think the hardest thing has been learning to live with what you can’t change. There are plenty moments in my scenes that I watch and think “damn, I could have done that much better”. But, it’s shipped, and I’ll just have to live with those issues I never got to fix.

Day one was… insane. It’s gonna be a loooooong four years.

Alrighty folks, finally, I made a shorter, reasonably sized, and easily consumable demo reel for my best work on Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Short(ish) and sweet! This’ll be the final version of my reel. Hope y’all enjoy and remember, huge spoilers ahead! youtu.be/w1XLAGe6fRs

Howdy folks! You asked for it, so here's the hour long supercut of every scene I worked on that's in Dragon Age: The Veilguard: youtu.be/w9kq654kvpI

Just finished The Penguin. Fucking hell that was an incredible show. I am simultaneously in love with it and incredibly mad at that ending (in a good way). That was one hell of a character arc. I'd call it DC's Breaking Bad, just not as iconic/groundbreaking. Fantastic show.

I somehow just saw this, but good on Coté for actually speaking up about this. His words ring extremely true and I'm sure many devs feel the same. I for sure do. www.pcgamer.com/games/assass...

Happy New Year everyone! At a party with my family and the power was out for the past three hours LOL

Alright folks. Here's the condensed version of my Dragon Age: The Veilguard Showreel: youtu.be/hspNiDSC_6Y But, the people have spoken. I will post the full hour long supercut in the next few days.

Okay y'all - hour long supercut of every Veilguard scene that has my work in it, or short and sweet reel of my favorite bits?

Happy Chrimbus! Remember to eat your fair share of hair or the Winter Man won't come.

Inquisitor Lavellan only wants one thing and it's disgusting 😡

JESUS PANAM I'M SORRY #cyberpunk2077

Man. I'm trying to make my Reel. But I have a lot of scenes I worked on and I just wanna shove them all into one video. BUT REELS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SHORT AND CONCISE. They're supposed to showcase your best work. I CANT CHOOSE

I bought a retractable mesh dog gate and I swear it's the best purchase I've ever made. Just pull it out, latch it, lock it, and you're done. Cats can still jump it, dogs can't get through it. ITS PERFECT

Man, the next few years in gaming are gonna be PHENOMENAL. I can't wait.

Btw for those of you who didn't know Twenty One Pilot's game, now you see why they were my #2 artist this year.

That was probably the best Game Awards to date. So many incredible titles announced and shown off, really fantastic performances, and some fantastic wins for fantastic teams! This is what The Game Awards should be. A great celebration for the industry.

WITCHEEEEEEERRRR

The Game Awards are tonight! I'm hoping there will be at least a couple reveals that make me shit my pants. But also, I forgot to mention, we won some awards and got nominated for some others! Including long listed for the BAFTA awards for: - Best Animation - Best Music - Best Narrative EXCITEMENT

Since they're talking Arcane spinoffs... Ekko spin off please oh please??? 🥺

Absolutely looooving Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. So much fun bonking Nazis with random objects, exploring, solving puzzles, etc. It all feels so polished and every interaction feels great. MachineGames did it again.

YEEEEEEESSS!!

Okay, listen... they had a new album, I couldn't help myself. This barely scratches the surface of my music taste, but JUDGE ME!

Yooo, we got nominated for multiple awesome categories for the PS Blog Game of the Year! Including MAH BOI Emmrich Volkarin for best new character! If you enjoyed our game Dragon Age: The Veilguard, consider voting here: play.st/3VlMsBl

Every time I post on Twitter I'm reminded why I don't post on Twitter. I am the old man from SpongeBob.

Heyooo, our game got nominated in the Player's Voice category for the Game Awards! If you liked or loved our game, consider voting here: bit.ly/tgaplayers Lots of fantastic games on this list, so proud we made the cut!

Just finished Arcane. Truly one of the best shows of all time and an absolute marvel of animation. Now I can't help but think that a single player RPG in the world of League would go SO HARD

Phew. Okay. After 116 hours, I finally 100% completed and Platinum'd Veilguard. After working on it for 3 years, I didn't think I'd have the power to do it. But I got addicted. I've been a BW fan for most of my life. Regardless of having worked on it, I think this is one of my favorite BW games now.

Four games I've worked on (it's really not much):

Just got back to the states a few hours ago after an absolutely incredible launch party for Veilguard up in Canada! My first time being there, leaving the states, visiting the studio, and finally meeting the whole team in person. It was such an incredible time. So glad I was able to attend.

Damn it. 😭 Gone too soon. Huge part of my childhood and a lot of media I've liked. The voice of the Vorts, dammit. Rest in peace. 😔

With the launch and everything happening in the world, I never really took a moment to sit watch our credits. It's extremely surreal finally seeing my name in the credits of a launched AAA title. I'm incredibly grateful for all the love from the folks who have enjoyed it. Thank you all so much. 🧡

America, what the fuck?

This is just me IRL.

I’m so excited to talk spoilers with yall when you’re ready. I’ll give it a couple weeks though. 🧡

Here’s some pics I snapped in photo mode! We really made a beautiful game, I gotta say. Will be Veilguarding more this weekend (after celebrating, of course). 💜

In celebration of the fantastic launch, here’s my Rook! Kai Mercar, Elf, Shadow Dragon, Spellblade Mage. Really good at smoldering.

Enjoy your time in Thedas. 🧡
