In response to the Polygon and Giant Bomb news, I created an indie and worker-owned games media starter pack. I’ll keep adding to it, so suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please share!

Get your cat a heating mat. It's a place where they'll be sat, and where to give their head a pat. Only worry if it makes them fat. Then get them on a diet stat. This post sponsored by the purring lump to my left.

Hey everyone! The industry is on fire right now, and given that I have a number of interviews / reviews / guides I'm working on that have no home. If you are an editor seeking pitches for some upcoming games, please slide in the DMs. I'll let you in on my secrets. xoxo RTs welcome.

As much as I'm...muted on Marathon's art style, I'm all for studios mashing a bunch of previous ideas up (hero shooting, team play) with something they've spent a long time working on (buildcrafting). Bungie has a mixed history with this sort of thing, but I'm optimistic, perhaps to my detriment.

If the Bloodborne deal with Sony is any indication, #Duskbloods probably won't ever leave the Nintendo ecosystem, making FromSoftware's latest a system seller. Same playbook, same ENGINE, but I know for a fact it'll push anyone interested in From's work to get S2. Thanks, I hate it, but more pls.

Seeing all the love for Assassin's Creed Shadows is making me super excited to cover it come launch. I wish I could have been part of this early coverage, but I'm starting on the ground floor PR-wise. That's hopefully gonna change this year! And even if it doesn't, I love what I do.

Monster Hunter Wilds has that weird ability to make me JUST invested enough in the gameplay I keep going after the story. Usually, after finishing a 10+ hour narrative, I'm quite satisfied and stop, even in a huge open world. Now, I only want to fight Tempered Arkveld for the thousandth time.

Hey folks! My buds over at LTRT and I will be raising money for Trans Lifeline this weekend during our annual 24 hour stream. Streaming 24 of our favorite games from 2024. We will be awake and streaming in the middle of daylight savings, so that's going to be chaos. Tune in! Support if ya can!

Monster Hunter Wilds is a hybrid of World and Rise more than it is a daring sequel, but it's still a damn good Monster Hunter. Check out my review on @rollingstone.com ! www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Intro time: I've been a full-time freelance writer for 3 1/2 years, with a portfolio of reporting, features, and crit for games and TV/film on some of the biggest publications around, copywriting, and mock reviews/consulting (with a highly accurate record of gauging markets and audience reactions)
