I just wrapped IGN's Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen walkthrough! It was a solo project and across two months I wrote 110 full walkthrough pages with checkmarks for every item, TM/HM, Trainer, and Pokémon (almost 3,000 checks in total!), and a ton more I am so, so happy with how it turned out 🥹

I hate to do this, but my grandma is sick, & I need to get back to Australia to be able to say goodbye. She really helped raise me & I can't deal with the fact I may not be able to get back there due to financial reasons. Please help in any way you can. Please share. Thank you. gofund.me/3890f1b2b

I dove into pages of patch notes and terabytes of footage to show how much Crimson Desert has changed in the weeks since reviewers and critics had it, to the days after it released, to where we are right now. youtu.be/sQTMzG0EmLM?...

Our electric company is an actual joke lmao Supposed to have a 9-hour outage last week for maintenance which they pushed back to today at the last minute Now they've just delayed again two hours after it was supposed to start with no date I'm annoyed because we spent ages prepping twice now

I love my dogs to death but I do wish I could have just one night where my arse isn't hanging off the side of the bed because they're taking up all the room 😭

It's been a ✨while✨ since we've posted, huh? That's because our Bargaining team has been DEEP in negotiations over our first contract for over a year now. But we're finally getting towards the end, and we're hopeful that we can come to a fair agreement! I mean how could you say no to these faces?

I have been intensely craving a good fettuccine alfredo for daysssss now Going to attempt to make one with a roux later, I bought a backup jar of Rao's just in case 🤣

My husband surprised me with a corgi necklace today to cheer me up asdfghjkl 😭😭

The face of the sweetest girl who has been through so much in the last six weeks and never complained once. She is the best and I feel so bad for her 😭 (She has to wear a donut because she keeps licking a sore spot from when she had her catheter in)

I truly believe the doctor at my local vet saved my dog's life yesterday He fit us in his schedule last minute and listened to us about some alarming symptoms she was having after the emergency vet turned us away Now, for the first time in four days, she finally stabilized 😭

I am so frustrated. Luna was discharged last night and she has been having some horrible symptoms all night and all day. The emergency vet we took her to won't even answer basic questions and keeps giving us the runaround. Took her back there and they didn't even look at her.

Luna got really sick out of nowhere and we have no idea why. We are at the emergency vet now. The stress never ends, does it?

$900 for the PS5 Pro?? jfc

Luna had her first post-op x-ray today and her leg is healing perfectly. She still can't go for walks yet but just hearing her recovery is going smoothly is such a relief

Fortnite staff who survived yesterday's layoffs say they're unable to comprehend the impact on the game's future this year "and beyond." https://bit.ly/4ssPkuJ

I have really, really bad imposter syndrome, so imagine my relief when I not only get glowing feedback from my annual work review, but someone also left some really sweet feedback on my Pokémon FR/LG walkthrough I WANT TO CRY ALL THE HAPPY TEARS

I love Fortnite, but I am really not a fan of how Epic Games keep putting the responsibility on players. They increased the cost of V-Bucks, saying how they need help to "pay the bills" and now it's basically like "we fired 1,000 hard-working employees because you didn't play or spend enough" 🙃

We accidentally conditioned our corgi to associate the Griddy with absolute CHAOS because it is our Fortnite win emote of choice and now she howls and goes completely feral whenever she hears it 💀

Been slowly powering through with our Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen walkthrough update, dreading the day I reached Silph Co and had to guide it because WHY DOES IT HAVE 11 FLOORS?! Well, today was the day. Silph Co = conquered. And our walkthrough page looks great if I do say so myself :'))

The new Fortnite season slaps

AI Overview sucks. Ultimately, it just diminishes talented folks' hard work. You can spend hours working on a detailed guide with step-by-step instructions, maps, screenshots, just to have it summarized by AI. It should be illegal, honestly.

I know I am biased but the IGN Guides team is truly the best to ever do it 💖

So proud of my team's work on Crimson Desert. This game has been a nightmare to cover. They keep changing stuff literally every other hour, and it's caused my team to have to go back and fully re-edit completely finished videos. Very grateful for the work these folks had to put up with lol.

I had the honor of interviewing the great @jenn-svedberg-yen.bsky.social about...everything! Her, her work, the winding path she took to working on E33, her experience and feelings writing for it, and what she's up to now. She's legitimately just, so cool.

WHERE IS POKEMON COLOSSEUM

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

Weekend plug: I'm on IGN now working with the brilliant IGN UK team to make features! Like this! About why this grand convergence of everything becoming Basically A PC is not what I want from consoles youtu.be/4zhXN0mOQqM?...

Lmao, fuck you.

Luna has got into the habit of waking us up at 3AM every day and ughhhhh I am so exhausted I start work at 5AM so there's no point in going back to sleep either because short naps make me feel worse

Every couple of years I go through a period of severe homesickness and it really, really sucks Living in a different country on the other side of the world is not for the weak

The biggest revelation of replaying pokemon FRLG is that there is an actual storyline where blue had such a good time hanging out with the french staff of the s.s. anne that he gained a new catchphrase and would go on to study abroad in kalos

Been sprucing up our ancient FireRed walkthrough and it's made me realize how much I miss the difficulty of older Pokémon games Why are the new ones so easy?! And can we go back to Routes?! I do really like the new games but 😭😭

Will never get over the fact they canceled the Sleeping Dogs franchise

I just want to give a bump to the fundraiser for Patrick Dane's family as they deal with the long aftermath of the horrific car accident that took him away from us all. They need it for the enormous costs incurred. Time off work. Fights. Hotels. Etc. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If you’re reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), I’m keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

IT'S LUNA 🥹💖

Where the heck is Pokémon Colosseum

GEN 10 BABYYYYYYY

Can we please finally get Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness on Switch Online tomorrow? Release dates, at least! Something Black/White would be nice too 🫣

Okay Marathon is NOT for me. Played a few matches and it is just not clicking at all 💀

I interviewed the Monster Hunter Stories 3 devs and we couldn’t fit everything into the IGN Fanfest video! Check out their commentary on the new “concept to game” trailer in the video and learn more in the Q&A in the article. Like what happened to the SnS 👀 www.ign.com/articles/mon...

Got so little sleep as I was worried about Luna's first night home after surgery. I slept next to her pen in a sleeping bag lmao She finally peed this morning and absolutely wolfed down her breakfast and I cannot describe the sheer relief I feel omfg

Just dropped Luna off at the vet for her surgery and I'm fucking spiraling Saying goodbye to her was literally the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I know she will be fine but god. It is so hard to stay rational. She is my world.

PLEASE give us a proper new NieR game and not something dumb like a pachinko machine or another mobile title 😭

Just found out that Luna is having her surgery on Tuesday. I feel sick. I am terrified for her 😭

Luna 100% needs surgery, she has a torn CCL (dog equivalent of her ACL) Vet says her other one is showing signs of weakness so is recommending a bilateral knee surgery as it will blow out eventually anyway We don't have a quote from the surgeon just yet but she thinks it will be $8k+ 🫠

Rev. Noir looks amazing. I'm so hyped for that
