Zelda Day at TheGamer is officially in full swing! 💚🫶
I got to chat with Princess Zelda’s voice actor about everything from her super-secret audition to shaping Zelda into the incredibly hopeful, layered icon we know her to be today.

youtu.be/pc2NggI8drQ?... For @pcgamer.com , I wrote the script for this helpful video about Fortnite: Save The World! It was my first time doing scriptwriting and I had a blast with it (I also provided the footage, so you can see me suck at it.) Take a look!
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 feels like someone turned an ’80s horror movie into a co-op zombie shooter and then poured synth music all over it.
My review! .✦ ݁˖ www.thegamer.com/john-carpent...
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.
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.

I went hands-on with Overwatch Season One at Blizzard HQ and played all five new heroes. Yes, Jetpack Cat is real. Yes, she rules.
Here are my thoughts! ˚⟡˖ ࣪

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.

Under all the mechanical violence, MIO: Memories In Orbit is a gentle game about caring for a broken world. It just makes you earn every feeling.

I'm starting the year with a new byline, and of course, a Warframe article, because I know my shit! For @escapistmag.bsky.social, I wrote a guide about how to get and best build Uriel, the latest Warframe added in The Old Peace update. Give it a read! www.escapistmagazine.com/warframe-uri...
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.
I'll be updating my portfolio as I go, as well as creating more videos on YouTube and social media. Even if you just want to see a guy spout nonsense about games, come say hello.

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.
Turns out I’m great at managing dinosaurs and terrible at keeping fences intact. My Jurassic World Evolution 3 review is up: www.thegamer.com/jurassic-wor...
Had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Aaron Keller and Alec Dawson about Season 18 - new Stadium heroes, 60 Perks, and Wuyang. 🧡 Overwatch 2 keeps inventing, and I’m here for it. My interview:
