I interviewed the Diablo 4 devs about the Warlock class and the pitch is basically:
“what if the solution to demons… was more demons”.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of interviewing Nick Apostolides (Leon) and Angela Sant’Albano (Grace).
Two very cool humans and two great interviews. Give them a read!

Demon Tides is one of my favourite platformers in recent memory, and one with some surprisingly grand ambitions that it absolutely lives up to - roll on Bubsy 4D! www.thegamer.com/demon-tides-...
Just finished Disco Elysium for the first time. Legitimately at a loss with what to play next.
Dedicating this one to all the chuds on Reddit who said I was talking shit

Five years later and I’ve played way more in the subgenre, so I’m taking way more time to appreciate all the nuances of the storytelling and world building. Game is great.
Playing through Bloodborne for the second time in my life and for the first time in five years and what a different experience it is. My first playthrough was my first time playing a souls game and I basically speed ran it because I was terrified.
Direct flight from Chicago to London was cancelled last night. This was the replacement flight they tried to put us on.
My last big one for the year is the second part of my interview with Alix Wilton Regan, aka Lara Croft.
A nice way to round out 2025, and now my break begins. Two days of Christmas festivities with family, then off to Chicago to celebrate my wonderful friend @peterspittech.bsky.social’s wedding.
Thanks mate!

3 years ago I started work on a SIGNALIS video essay. It ended up feature length, and subsequently sat on my hard drive as a rough cut.
Until today.
After numerous passes, I've finally hit publish on The Emotional Horror of SIGNALIS.
Hell can be a place of healing.
I’m gonna do something I very rarely do and advocate for myself openly: This year I’ve done some pretty wild stuff, spoken to some amazing people, and broken a few big stories. My role has become less focused on writing guff (although there will still be a little, gotta keep the lights on)
Most of this was done since August. There’s eight months more of this that I won’t bore you with but yeah, 2025 has been the most fulfilling year for me, and I still have at least one more big piece to come.
