I'm very sorry to announce that I was one of the devs affected by the Obsidian layoffs today. At least for four years, it was a beautiful dream. If you need a writer with experience in everything from the fog of war to romance - especially if you're open to remote - please get in touch.

I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!

Any time anyone cynically says there’ll be no consequences for criminal acts, cheating, lying etc, they’re helping enable that lack of consequences. Please don’t do that. I get that it makes you feel smart & practical but it’s not helping. Always call for consequences, whether they’re likely or not.

Every person I have ever talked to believes that they have the perfect idea for what the Mass Effect tv show should be.

I let my son pick the road-trip music and we listened to the Gravity Falls theme song on repeat for two hours.

Hey, writers! Didn’t get this book for Christmas? Somehow never got a copy for 25 years? Never too late. Buy it! Regardless of medium or experience, this will help your writing.

My well-read copy of Stephen King’s “On Writing.”

National outrage over legal decisions is largely driven by pundits/politicians who have never been in a courtroom for a criminal case, read a full legal decision, or followed a legal matter through various courts.

After 13 years as first a contract writer, then a salaried writer, then a lead writer, then a senior writer at InXile Entertainment, I have been laid off. I had a great time while I was there, and I am sad to go, but as they say, every ending is a new beginning, so here's me, beginning again.

Today's been kind of a rough day. I learned earlier that my current gig will be ending 10/17. Though the timing is never great it's not really surprising. Was hoping to get a few more months out of it, though. Anyway, if anybody's hiring here's my LinkedIn profile: www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-b...

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

One of the worst trends I've seen in 'leadership' in my many years of the game industry is this tendency to penalize the person who points out inappropriate / destructive / etc behavior.

A sharp eye for detail, excellent memory, picky about even small points, fearless with their feedback, knows the characters like they live together, and has an unrelenting dedication to the story’s quality, tone, and logic.
