today marks a whopper of an anniversary as we released the very first episode of Retronauts on October 4, 2006. Twenty years of podcasts! Thank you for listening for two entire decades. What's your favorite episode or Retronauts memory?

Still have a few more projects going up before my last day at IGN this Friday. All of them really special to me. One of them a 44 minute long conversation with legendary artist and director @realgdt.bsky.social. Hope you all enjoy this! I'm really proud of it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgCM...

Onimusha: Way of the Sword complete. A surprise hit for me. Last boss felt like fighting Isshin the Sword Saint all over again. So good.

Ah don’t be too hard on yourself! It’s a great way of experiencing the story and getting ready for Revelation. And if nothing else — I won’t pass any judgement ;)

Hey! So after seventeen and a half years, October 2nd will be my last day at IGN. It was genuinely a dream come true to do this thing for so long alongside some of the most talented people on earth. I got to travel the world, meet my heroes, and make a ton of really fun shows and videos. An honor ♥️

Well friends, that's it for me. This week IGN let me go, effective immediately. It's been a pleasure talking about movies and TV and to anybody that's read/watched/laughed at any of my work on IGN and CineFix over the years, here's a heartfelt thank you to contrast the grimace in this picture.

Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

Vidiots in Eagle Rock and Cinefile in West LA (Sawtelle & Santa Monica -- attached to the Nuart Movie theater!) A lot of fun stuff!

i played Final Fantasy 7 Revelation! only got ~50 mins w/ it, some quick thoughts: - combat system still GOATed, love what Cid and Vincent add to the dynamic - Wutai reimagined is stunning - the Highwind is sick, but worried about open world bloat/constant interruptions www.ign.com/articles/fin...

Playing Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Reminded Me of Its Best-in-Class Combat, But It Needs to Stay Focused | IGN Preview

The predominant feeling I came away with, however, is that maybe Revelation is getting carried away with stuffing its world with side content for the sake of it. Perhaps that's a symptom of trying to ...

Gamescom ruled this year. Directed IGN’s 5 day gamescom Studio broadcast and got to interview Naoki Hamaguchi, Kazuhisa Wada, interview Clear River Games for the Terranigma re(?)release, demo, give my impressions on Metro 2039, and shoot an episode of GameScoop!

Nintendo created a series of Donkey Kong classic/Bananza challenges that are represented as digital cards. If you have an active NSO subscription and complete these challenges before September 1st, you'll get a physical set of these cards. Fun little prize that evokes the old Club Nintendo days!

Extremely! Highly recommended. It was so fun. @loganjplant.bsky.social was right

Every time I watch a new Spider-Man, I simultaneously want to experience every ounce of Spidey material ever made. Spider-Man is immortal. Third movie I’ve had to tell a group of theatergoers to please shut up during. Leave the half-assed YouTube commentary to opt-in settings

Dead Space 2 for sure. I think I even paid for the online pass cuz my friends were all in…

IGN’s San Diego Comic Con is only as good as the people making it and I’m thankful I have the best on my side. Somehow I’m seemingly trusted and tolerated enough to direct a multi-cam live show for multiple days and grateful everyone makes it so easy and fun to do.

Rolled credits on Denshattack! Delightful, unrelenting, and evocative of picking up the controller for the first time to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for the first time. Pure arcade speed and style with some surprising boss encounters that left me smiling.

Just got out of my screening of The Odyssey in 70mm. Loved it. Excellent adaptation of the best stories ever told.

Ridiculous price for a game you’ll be thinking about for a long time!

That's Doom the Dark Ages - Revelations DLC dusted. Story + Endgame + Master Arenas. What an absolute blast of a game. The Chain Spear is a delightful addition that helps induce the "flow state" that keeps me coming back to pure gaming goodness.

Finally watched The Ghost in the Shell. Loving the art direction, unflinching pace, and sensory overload that feels straight out of a cyberpunk dystopia. V good stuff that has me dying to know why Oshii did all that to Shirow’s manga.

Delighted I finally own Star Fox. As a kid, it was a constant rental. This game rules so hard. Near perfect arcade action baby

I’ve owned Xenoblade Chronicles DE on Switch for years, but the Switch 2 upgrade got me to give the game another shot. 7 hours in and I THINK it’s finally got its hooks in me.

I still haven’t watched the entire FF7 Revelation trailer by myself in quiet solitude. But nothing made me happier than pitching details and info to the IGN Crew while directing the IGN Live Show for Summer of Gaming. Very excited

I don't always have time to write features for IGN, but I loved putting together this retrospective on Evangelion for its 30th(?) anniversary, its cyclical nature, and how an artist wrestles with their art. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQu0...
