And this is that Pokemon magazine ad. I thought two things: 1) that rock with arms has to be the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen and 2) I can't wait to use him to beat up that big sleepy bastard. I was so confused when I finally got to play it.
This is the exact cartridge my dad bought me for Christmas 1998. I got a Game Boy Pocket, Donkey Kong Land 2, and this Pokemon Red. Literally my first exposure to Pokemon aside from a magazine ad that I was obsessed with.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY POKEMON
oh fuck yeah
chatted with Ubisoft and Konami devs about Solid Snake in Rainbow Six Siege and wrote about it! www.gamespot.com/articles/how...
As a Canadian, losing Catherine O'Hara feels like losing someone you know and love personally. Just absolutely in shock. Can't believe it. A phenomenally sad day for Canada.
I've been going hard on the job hunt. I wanted to send another post to amplify my efforts and see if any friends know of opportunities!

I'm working toward doing stuff like this more often as well as narrative film work! If this year has taught me anything, it's that I can't accept doing work I'm not passionate about.
If you need a director, writer, VO artist, or another hand on a project, PLEASE get in touch. I'm open for business!
Thanks, my man! Can't wait to hear what you think
My boy @jacobdekk.bsky.social and GameSpot invited me to direct a documentary on Rainbow Six Siege! Jake and @rinhara5aki.bsky.social joined me in Montreal to create something I am very proud of.
I'm happy to say that I am re-dedicating my life to telling stories.

Big thank you for your notes as well, Jean-Luc!
Thank youuuuuuuuu, Lucy! 🙏
How do people who abandon their "inherited" sports team feel? The team your dad or mom loved and now you're faced with the inevitable devastation that they'll face when you reveal you're now a fan of someone else.
Haha hey, great minds think alike but truly great minds love Tony Hawk's Pro Skater! I think Socrates said that
@dannyodwyer.bsky.social How am I supposed to explain this to my 61 subscribers who haven't heard from me in six years
@dannyodwyer.bsky.social Danny, I have a bone to pick with you
If ever there was a person who embodied that, it was Udo Kier for sure
Further proof that The Game Awards are NOT the Oscars for video games. The organization does not care about people who make games. It's a glorified E3 trailer showcase.
couple thoughts on z-a:
1) bad graphics do not equate to a bag game and complaining about bad graphics does not equate to criticism. dig deeper. i beg you.
2) pokemon is not targeted at 30+ y/o men. it's fine if it doesn't spark the same joy it did when you were 4. its called getting older.
I dug into that recent Pokémon patent on @theverge.com in the interest of getting some facts straight www.theverge.com/games/779062...
Oh nice! And I'm glad you're enjoying it. If I was actually in Vancouver proper and not an hour away, I'd come meet up with you. I hope you have a great time!
What the heck are you doing in my neighbourhood?
I've unlocked every achievement, completed every remembrance, and defeated every Everdark (so far).
After 100 hours, I still can't get enough of Elden Ring: Nightreign. Easily my game of the year so far.

He had that Denzel in him
I worked at HMV. Chinese Democracy, Black Ice, and Death Magnetic came out. What a silly fucking year. Here are three that feel perfect to me. "You Are The Best Thing" is one of my favourites.
Gossip in the Grain (Ray LaMontagne)
Worrisome Heart (Melody Gardot)
808s & Heartbreaks (Kanye West)
Bluesky is wild. They were like "Everyone hated Twitter, right? Let's do that again"
Hot dogs in tortillas for me, stuck them with toothpicks to keep them closed while I microwaved those bitches with cheese
They brought me back for one more mission... because they needed the best. The game has changed but the players are the same.
