I’m A Fraud, And Dead As Disco Is My Enabler My hands-on Dead As Disco preview proves you can look cool in a rhythm game, no actual rhythm required.

I’m a fraud (rhythm-wise), but Dead As Disco is enabling my delusions anyway 😌💃

Here are my thoughts from my hands-on preview. @gepugg.bsky.social’s high score is safe… for now!

If you don't care about layoffs, especially an amount of people like this, I'm sorry but you're a ghoul, not a human. What's worse, if you say you don't care while holding a position of power of any kind, then you're certainly the worst possible choice for a role like that.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Review: Loud In Its Love To '80s Horror Excess Toxic Commando doesn't reinvent the zombie shooter, but its chaotic co-op action and retro horror energy make it a blast.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando feels like someone turned an ’80s horror movie into a co-op zombie shooter and then poured synth music all over it.

No level of nepotism should ever feed a power trip in any workplace, and your position should never make you abusive towards your coworkers. Always treat your peers with respect because you can be sure they will talk to each other. You're as expendable as they are in the eyes of your employer.

"We Wanted To Go Big": The Hearthstone Team On How Cataclysm Reimagines Warcraft Lore In A Dark New Timeline I sat down with Blizzard’s Hearthstone team to explore Cataclysm, from art and mechanics to reimagining Warcraft’s most consequential moment.

I had the chance to sit down with Blizzard’s Hearthstone team to see how they reimagined Warcraft’s end-of-the-world storyline for the card game. The devs apparently love making us feel the end of the world.

Remember Highguard, That New Shooter Announced At The Game Awards? It Actually Rules Highguard might’ve drawn backlash at The Game Awards, but my hands-on preview shows it’s a unique, fun PvP Raid Shooter you won’t want to miss.

I traveled to LA last week for a hands-on preview of Highguard.

What I expected: another free-to-play shooter in a crowded genre.

What I played: a uniquely fun PvP raid shooter, and one I couldn’t stop thinking about after.

Needless to say, like many amazing others, I'll be available for work. If you need anyone with experience in:

- Video Production
- Video Editing
- Editorial Work
- Writing
- Graphics
- Management

Or just about anything else, because I've learnt so much already, so why not more?

See you around.

Too many other have been let go today as well, alongside many others throughout this year. It's disheartening to see a job I was held so dearly to become so saddening, slowly but all too quickly.

In light of being laid off from TheGamer today, I don't intend to let my passions die out. I'll continue to create work independently, and keep that excitement for whatever opportunities come my way in the future.

This was a dream career, and I'm not done with it yet.
