The GOAT Nobuo Uematsu is officially bringing his con TIKI show to Toronto in November and I absolutely can’t wait. 🔥

Ahead of next weeks' Canadian Game Awards, I spoke with creator and executive producer Carl-Edwin Michel. In our wide-ranging chat, he talked about the evolution of the show, getting Mass Effect's Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer as hosts, balancing "world premieres" with awards and much more!

Thirsty Suitors is honestly one of my favourite indie games ever. Even if I didn't connect with its lovely representation (and I *absolutely* did), it's just an incredibly funny, stylish and heartfelt game. Can't recommend it enough!

This Canadian Game Awards piece officially kicks off a couple of weeks of almost non-stop interviews (and reviews) from me. That includes, FINALLY, the big feature I've been working on for months. Excited to share more very soon!

Brad's excellent chat with CGAs creator Carl-Edwin Michel has me thinking about the nominees this year, one of which is the very excellent, narrative-driven game that weaves music into its storytelling in truly amazing ways: South of Midnight. wccftech.com/review/south...

Happy Mother’s Day, all!

This is very much my tempo. 🥁 #NowWatching

I'll add to this that game developers have *lots* of ideas about how subsidies could be reallocated. For example, why not give some to local worker co-operative studios that have formal mandates to create sustainable employment?

“We like to imagine we are immune somehow from whatever it is that has torn the American polity apart so violently over the past 10 years, that what is happening there could never happen here. I promise you it can. In Alberta, it already is.” Essential read here from Richard:

Excited to announce Art Of The Concept, a concept art gallery show featuring poster collages of work from some of Toronto's amazing independent game studios. The event is being organized as part of Toronto Games Week and will be on display from June 11th to the 17th with a reception on June 14th.

This week has been all about the Brosnan (and Dalton) Bond movies. What a fascinating and wildly inconsistent era. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

The Japanese gaming company blamed "market conditions" for the increase. mobilesyrup.com/2026/05/08/n...

Actually dying right now over this comment someone left on our site because the automod blocked him saying a racial slur. 🤣

The 2026 Canadian Game Awards are happening exactly 2 weeks today in Toronto! Tons of great games are up for awards, Commanders Shepard themselves, the amazing Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer, are hosting, and lots of cool industry folks will be in attendance. Hope to see some of you there! 👋

Had to turn down 2 U.S. trips in the past 48 hours alone. I genuinely appreciate the consideration, but it's disappointing that these keep coming up during literally the worst & least safe time to travel to the U.S. Once again tapping the sign: companies, please consider hosting in other countries!

New Star Fox looks sick as hell

This entire bizarre Star Fox Nintendo Direct has big “could have been an email” energy.

Fantastic Mr. StarFox

10 yrs ago, the famous capybara escape was on the news.... and now WE are on the news to talk about our game inspired by that very adventure! We're getting a taste of that Toronto fame, and we can't wait to share more easter eggs with y'all in Capy Castaway ✨️ 🥹

I think it’s bad that the social internet has been reduced to short clips of the full version of things, and creatives will suffer even more because of this demand.

but at what cost

Man, Hollywood’s getting desperate with these video game adaptations. #NowWatching

Every time I see people posting about sports news in my feed.

Hello, asking for a friend but if you are a games marketing person based out of Toronto (/Ontario) and looking for a contract please send me your stuff and I will pass it along

Capy Castaway was in the Gamescom Latam countdown and looook!!! It's us 🥰 The team got together to talk about our lil capybara and how we hope this game resonates with everyone. www.youtube.com/live/0FfbXlE...

This afternoon’s office. 🕷️ 🕵️

15 years of Sworcery pass us by, but we refuse to let such fanfare drift away! Amongst our woeful errands, we’ve accomplished The Android Refresh 🌙✨ Revel in the magic once more, now with achievements and cloud saves on your latest Android devices!

Yet another reason why I’m sadly no longer travelling to the U.S. And given awful stories like this, I’d really encourage more colleagues to do the same.

Rogue One is a bad movie. Some of the series' thinnest & most disposable characters, a story that only exists to explain a "plot hole" in a New Hope, some truly bad Glup Shitto moments & abhorrent deepfakes. It all just feels hollow & inconsequential as a result. (Score & some visuals innocent.)

We’re so excited to be part of Wholesome Direct 2026 💛✨ We’ve got some BIG news to share with @capycastaway.com 📆 Make sure to check out the Wholesome Direct on June 6!!

Is games journalism dead?!?! No. But it's hurting. And things will get worse before they get better. On this episode of Post Games, 50 years of video games media history help us come to terms with the end of an era and imagine what could come next for reporters, critics, and publications.

It's still so surreal that we're getting a spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic led by Casey Hudson. That's literally a dream game for me.

GameStop buying eBay sounds bad for many reasons, naturally. I'll never forget CEO Ryan Cohen saying he wanted to sell GameStop's Canadian and French divisions because of "wokeness and DEI." Such an edgelord clown.

This is the LAST DAY to grab Lil’ Guardsman at 80% off! Huge thanks to everyone who picked it up this week, truly appreciate it. Hope it’s delivering that “how did I not know about this game!?” feeling 😄 store.steampowered.com/app/1924360/...

This year’s been kind of underwhelming for horror movies. Oddity was really good so high hopes for this! #NowWatching

“Sometimes you stumble into a game with just the right amount of heart and message that you know will stay with you for a while. Something with a bit of representation that is a rarity and hits close to home. Find Your Words is one of those games.” caniplaythat.com/2026/04/27/i...
