In a video game world full of NPC side characters often verbalizing the solution to a game’s puzzles, Remedy has been on an absolute hot streak of trusting the player to listen, read, and observe to figure out what’s what.

Part of me wants to preorder both Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Metroid Ravenous on Switch 2, bc I’m stoked for both games and will be buying them both, but also, part of me realizes they won’t sell out of digital copies and I don’t need to give a massive company an interest free loan.

I kinda wish all video game reviews were just Siskel and Ebert style. Give thoughts and reasons then just a simple 👍 or 👎. There’s so much beauty in that binary.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I’ve wanted something physical to remember/celebrate my Favorite Games of the Year (based on an incomplete sampling) from DLC, so I decided to make some trading cards for myself with my picks over the years. Here’s the first batch: 2014 - 2022.

The Dark Knight is one of my very favorite movies, so I was really excited when Dave Mongan (Without a Trace, Destiny) brought it as his piece of media for this month‘s episode of Formative Media (FormativeMediaShow.com). A great conversation about the film and why it resonates with Dave.

So: my car was broken into and I had my microphones and headphones stolen. As a voice actor, this is particularly difficult and stressful. If any of you happen to know someone who works at Elgato, Rode, or Bose who can help me replace my stolen stuff, I’d really appreciate it.

Sure, it’s breaking records. But is it really a Spider-Man movie if there’s not a Dashboard Confessional song on the soundtrack?
