This is easily one of the most personal stories I've written. When I first started playing World of Warcraft this year I didn't expect to latch onto it as much as I did. If you have a moment please check it out!

The world is full of reasons to be afraid right now and finding a place to take care of your mental health is key. For some, it's World of Warcraft.

had the honor of working with @imluisgutierrez.bsky.social on this - it's important to find light when the world is so dark, and it was great to see how WoW has helped him do just that.

Give it a read 👇🏽

Reminder that @paletteswap.site is a really fucking great game satire site (with some great non-satire content too!) created by some of the former Hard Drive folks who were crushing it in the site's heyday.

I did a preview for @shacknews.com for Valor Mortis, and I was really impressed with it and its take on the Souls-like genre.

Valor Mortis answers the age-old question of 'what if napoleon had an army of mutated monsters?'

Valor Mortis takes on historical fiction, and the Soulslike genre is a horrific sight to behold.

For starters, I reviewed Tron: Ares for @shacknews.com, and it's a movie, alright.

Tron: Ares review: Become human

Trone: Ares is a spectacle to watch with a superb soundtrack. Unfortunately, that's where a lot of the good things begin and end.

In 2014 I wrote for @newyorker.com about @kurtjmac.bsky.social, a YouTuber who began walking in Minecraft and never stopped. His quest was to reach the Far Lands, a place at the limits of the algorithmic world, where the landscape breaks apart. On Saturday, after fourteen years, he arrived:
