Producer at Red Hook Studios, hosted a gamedev podcast, helped cram people on trains, and now a papa of twins. My views are my own.
Constantly in awe in the sheer volume of ridiculous transitions and beats in Death Stranding 2. It’s just so wildly eclectic that it still finds ways to land.
That said, the soundtrack does so much heavy lifting.

Picked up Andor season 1 on blu-ray and man how is it so good? Like compared to all the other new Star Wars stuff it's just head and shoulders above all of it.
Haven't watched or looked up anything on Andor season 2, waiting to just buy a copy.

This monday we launched Circuits, designed by Jacob Land, on Puzzmo ( www.puzzmo.com/play/circuits/ ). Circuits is an amazing game that was first shared with me by Josh Wardle. As soon as I played it I knew that Puzzmo would be perfect to help get the news out about this incredible game.

I've never been more bummed about a Magic The Gathering set release more than the FF one upcoming. It really should be a slam dunk for me, but it's just so outrageously expensive. For the same cost of a single booster box I can almost buy the entire game catalog.

Tonight I brought Dominion to the table for the first time in 5-8 years. I always enjoy it but never had enough sessions to really get my fill.
I only own the base game but I’m curious which expansion would be the best to pick up.
