(Re) intro time.

I run a consultancy for video games, tech, and toys. Clients include Epic Games and LEGO!

You may also know me as the founder of Kotaku, cofounder of Polygon, video games editor at Rolling Stone and Variety.

I still write, but mostly for clients and my column.

Imagine if a woman president went off about every picture of herself she didn’t like. “Hysterical.” “Emotional.” “PMSing.” “Petty bitch.”

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

When Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 releases, it returns players to a world first explored more than 20 years ago in the cult classic original.

A lot has happened in the canon and real-world history of the World of Darkness during those decades.
