Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

Just had a call with my doctor, and on top of my current ADHD meds, I’m now also on anti-anxiety blockers.
Anxiety has been a seriously crippling issue for me over the last few years. So many feelings of panic and sheer dread holding me back from living life.
Hopefully they help. Time will tell 🤔

Here’s your first look at Nova, the villain of Killtopia: Phantoms. She’s the heiress to a Yakuza clan who’s gone rogue - working with a mass mind hacker to terrorise Neo Tokyo.
She has 3D hard light printers in her palms, which let her create weapons, tactical gear and more.

I went to see the awesome Thornhill last night for a second time. They’re deservedly blowing up after dropping one of this year’s best metal albums.
About damn time too 👏 I can’t recommend them highly enough.
