Can’t quite believe that my debut novel is out on store shelves today! Working on these stories has been a labour of love over the last few years, the positivity and engagement from the Halo community has brought us to this point—Jeff and I couldn’t be more thrilled! 💚💙

As a creative, there is nobody I appreciate more than producers who provide and enforce the systems and processes that keep me honest and accountable to production needs and realities lol. Been thankfully blessed over the years to have learned from very good producers!

The Codex’s narrator has such a pleasing voice to listen to lol. Some great bytes of lore in the uncharted worlds text in the galaxy map as well that really adds flavour to the setting.

Super excited for this and hope it’s a big hit for Deck Nine! Really enjoyed Double Exposure and how it laid the groundwork for this next part of the story, it’ll be bittersweet to say what seems to be a final farewell to Max and Chloe.

One of the most unforgettable and arresting first-time cinematic experiences of all time. For two and a half hours, it was as if the rest of the world ceased to exist.

Could not believe my eyes when even the work-in-progress version of Levi's cover came in—an artist who I've admired since I was a young'un on the Bungie forums reading A Fistful of Arrows. Still can't quite believe that this will soon be a real thing that exists!

With the rampant and rising transphobia in America, I just want to be extremely clear that transphobes deserve absolutely nothing. Trans people deserve to live freely and safely and anyone who thinks, speaks or acts against trans people is not worthy of breathing. May transphobes perish

While I haven't really been gelling with the combat, there isn't so much as a single frame of NEVA that doesn't make me want to get back to painting. This game is utterly beautiful—nobody does it quite like Nomada Studio.

Playing through shorter games over the weekend after hoovering up a bunch on sale. Completed 'Nobody Wants To Die' in two sittings, a solid seven hours that immerses you in a science fiction noir short story. Fantastic concepts, stunning visuals, enjoyable puzzles—really enjoyed my time with this!

The vibes of Mass Effect 1 are absolutely immaculate, its clunkiness is one of the things I love most about it. It's a creature only part-way out of its cocoon, caught between what BioWare RPGs had been up to that point with glimmers of the Actions RPGs to come. Forever my fave!

Pathfinding my way through some of the more labyrinthine levels has literally become instinct for me. Friends and colleagues regard me with horror as I get through the containment facility in the mission 343 Guilty Spark without doubling back half-a-dozen times lol

I've replayed Mass Effect 1 around what must be some thirty times since 2007, which is a hell of a time-sink because I am compelled every time to do ALL the side quests. Outside of that, I'd be fascinated and terrified to know exactly how much of my life has been devoted to replaying Halo 1.

Six hours in and having an absolutely fantastic time with Avowed—combat is really fun, exploration of the world feels great, it's wonderfully vibrant, and I'm always here for Obsidian's storytelling charm.

I miss video game manuals so much. Opening the case to get That New Game Smell™, the artistry and lore put into these little bits and bobs was something I always really loved and appreciated. A real shame this was such an early casualty of the push towards digital.

Long version: Games have slid so far into the tech sector that corporate leadership forgets that they're art. When you strip the human element out of your storytelling mechanisms, the humans who consume it won't enjoy it. You lose the bet. Short version: aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Done nothing but engross myself in Twin Peaks over the last three days. I remember watching the first season when I was very young but never saw the second—feels very special to come back to it now, fully equipped to appreciate not just its brilliance but more importantly David Lynch's heart.
