"See you, space cowboy..." That is a wrap on the very ambitious Intergalactic cinematic shoot! This cast killed it! Cannot wait to show you their incredible work when the time is right!

www.coltcoeur.org/camping My sister wrote a play called Camping which I went to see in NYC last month. It wrecked me, not just because it confirmed I’m the least talented sibling. If you’re in New York and want to greet, go and see it.

I’m a huge fan of commentary tracks. Love hearing @rafcolantonio.bsky.social and @harvey1966.bsky.social talk about one of my favorite games. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the playthrough! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVq0...

Luca Marinelli’s performance in Death Stranding 2 is SO GOOD. That last scene with him is insane. It’s rare to see that kind of emotion coming through with in engine characters. Kojima Productions outdid themselves!

Spent 15 minutes trekking the snowy mountain in DS2, like the hobbits, only to realize I forgot the cargo when I got to my destination.

It’s always been a curiosity with how complex the weaving of timelines is in TLOU2, what if there was an option, similar to that one DVD menu option in Christopher Nolan’s MEMENTO, to play the events of TLOU2 in strictly chronological order?

Those last two episodes of The Bear were weirdly cathartic. I’d be fine if the show ends there. So good. Kind of reminds me of the end of one of my other favorite shows: Mad Men. “Leave the characters in a better place than they were” was their approach to wrapping it up. Feels appropriate.

If you’re at GDC and just so happen to get inspired to apply to that company you were too afraid to apply to…just do it. Spend 5 minutes talking to the folks at those companies and realise they’re just big nerds. They did it and so can you.

Happy Valentine's Day. ❤️

Number 8 of the ink drawings that I gave away in 2020 as part of the weekly original "The First of Us" raffles. Here you can see Dina sitting in the open window, holding a joint in one hand and the "No Pun Intended" book in the other hand, from which she is reading aloud with a bright smile. Ellie is snuggled up against her thigh, smiling contentedly and looking dreamily at the lesson. On the side of the window frame you can see an old carving: a heart containing the message "E+D".

It's ok to have to remind people, and perhaps ourselves, that it's not bad to cut things in creative projects. It's critical. (Yes, yes, perfect vision and planning would obviate this.)

Here's a closer look at the title/logo sequence I created for the "Intergalactic" trailer using practical/analog FX. The spiral background is a miniature magnetic vortex @steph-sheridan.bsky.social & I made, filmed at 1000fps. The logos were made with CRT TVs & glitch hardware. More info in alt txt!
