I've always loved oral histories, so it was pretty cool to sit down with the AlbionTV crew and... basically tell the story of AlbionTV. This took a long time to come together, and I'm pretty proud of it.

Ok, Battlefield 6 is officially awesome. Find out why in my review for @ign.com . If you watch the video version you even get to see my smiling face in a little interview at the end. Win/win!

With well-layered action and dynamic destruction, Battlefield 6’s multiplayer hits in all the places where it counts most.

Our review: bit.ly/3IJ27rC

Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Review | Score: 8 (Great) | Battlefield 6’s multiplayer action is expertly crafted, wrapped in a wonderful layer of destructibility that both looks great and materially affects the flow of combat. The gunplay is excellent, with weapons that are accurate enough to reward skilled shooting, but have just enough sway to promote a bit of careful thought while you take aim.

If there’s a better way to spend a quiet Saturday night at home than a spooky cocktail and a plate of tacos, I don’t know what it is.

By the time the Mariners game ends I’m going to have a stress-induced Walton Goggins hairline.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’

The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

Dan is an incredible editor, and if ever there was a jersey that needs to be hung from the IGN rafters, it's his. His uncompromising expectation as an editor have made me much better writer, and I'm so thankful to have had the chance to work with him periodically over the last few years.

Dan Stapleton @danstapleton.bsky.social · Sep 16

So, a bit of an announcement: I'm retiring. My last day at IGN will be Oct 1; after that I'll be a full-time dad for a bit while my kids are of an age where they'll think spending time with me is cool rather than lame. It's been a huge honor and privilege to run reviews here for the past 12.5 years.
