Tbh if any of this happened it will be sick

🧵 Big news, after nearly eight years I’m leaving GAMINGbible to focus on new projects and hopefully working with more amazing people in our industry!
I’ve loved my time at LAD, and everyone I’ve worked with, but the time is right to go out and try new things! (1/2)
Finally got the boyyyyyy
I grew up on these streets
Look what the cat dragged back in...
It's me

Anyone at Gamescom fancy grabbing me the Goofy promo from the Lorcana booth? 😅
A surreal turn to the day, I've just been live on BBC Radio West Midlands talking about Mario and how old is too old to play video games
