I am so thrilled to reveal that my latest cover story for Game Informer is about Dragon Quest VII Reimagined!

Alongside my 12-page cover story, I also wrote an 8-page DQ retrospective, since this is somehow our FIRST EVER DQ cover🤯

Can’t wait for you all to get this issue – I’m so so proud of it🥹
COVER REVEAL: For the first time in Game Informer history, a Dragon Quest game is gracing our cover! We went to Tokyo to play Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, interview the team behind it, and dive deep into the history of this prolific RPG franchise. Subscribe today!

First day back home from our vacation and I learned this morning my wife wasn’t familiar with Welcome Home by Coheed

Anyway, getting to watch someone experience that listen for the first time in 2025 was incredible

On the way to Europe for this trip, one of our flight attendants was someone my wife went to junior high with

Now, on this flight back to the US, one of the flight attendants is someone my wife went to high school with

Legitimately, what are the odds hahaha

Arrividerci, Florence⚜️

Tomorrow, we take a train down to Cassino, Italy, to visit my wife’s family for the rest of this trip and let Sofia meet her bisnonna 💞

At dinner in Florence and our waiter asks where we’re from – we say Jacksonville, FL. He says he knows it and worked there. We ask where and he names our FAVORITE Italian restaurant in the area, which we love because it tastes most authentic to Italy.

Holy hell what a small world

Traveling with a 7 month old is great because it’s just constant validation from everyone that you are father to just the cutest lil cutie

My daughter and wife and I rode the Disneyland Paris Pirates of the Caribbean tonight, and Sofia loved it and then as we were exiting, my wife and I’s wedding song – One Day from At World’s End – was playing and today really just ruled so hard

So far, traveling with a 7 month old is mostly pros: people let you skip lines, everyone coos at her, viewing everything through her eyes, to name a few.

And one con: you can’t listen to the audio guide in every room of a museum because Sofia likes to keep things moving

Life is good🥰

Reviewed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a game I liked a lot more than Age of Calamity, and not just because it looks and plays a lot better thanks to the Switch 2.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers myriad improvements across the board mechanically and visually, but my favorite element is that it treats Tears of the Kingdom’s story with respect.
