Video editor at IGN. I cut everything it's nerdy sun shines upon and some things it doesn't - especially trailers, promos and sizzle reels. johnhenryhopkins.com

This is like when boomers talk about the watching the moon landing but for millennials.

The 2025 Game Awards are tonight and I had the honor of editing this intro for IGN's coverage. Take a sneak peak and tune in tonight.

What's your Game of the Year? I just played Ape Out from 2019 because it was on sale for 2.99. So that's mine.

Reply with something like:

Omg I almost feel embarrassed for you but that kind of sympathy is reserved for humans.

Would you like it to sound more casually ruthless or scornfully disappointed?

That would be great but I meant what do you want them to do in regards to this shutdown.

Ok but what do you want them to do specifically? Cause theyre saying all these things already.

That is what they've been doing in every statement, press conference and appearance. Plus showing up to negotiate in good faith. They are fighting, not caving and staying on message. Is it working? I don't know but what more do you want them to do? What more can they do?

Honorable mention to Invisible inc (briefly featured in the intro, I edited this πŸ˜‰). The only turned based stealth game I'm aware of.

That genre mashup alone is noteworthy but what if I told you its also good! Think xcom stealth but expanded into a whole rouge like tactical system.

As an 8 year old playing this under a blanket I felt like I was really getting away with something.

Taking care of your staff should be an easy choice. You can even do acquisitions at the same time. Just take care of your staff too - the people generating the value. This shouldn't be hard to do or understand.

Another events season in the games industry means I get to cut lots of sizzle reels, hype bumps & promos. Here's the latest:

Recognize IGN Creators Guild (2.0) Now!

Recognize IGN Creators Guild (2.0) Now!

It’s been-

One week since we asked IGN Entertainment to recognize our friends on the product, engineering, and Humble Bundle teams as part of the IGN Creators Guild.

The sooner that happens, the sooner we can start working with management to build towards a stronger future for us all!

Our NEW mission statement (we're growing). The image also features the IGNCG logo with rainbow coloration on dark blue textured background. Logo created by Julia Rago.

The IGNCG Mission statement exceeds the character limit of bsky's alt text. The first several paragraphs read: 

β€œIGN has a lot going on” might be the understatement of the century. At any given time, there are countless irons in countless fires as our teams continue to deliver multi-award winning original coverage of games, film and television, technology and more in both written and video spaces. This fact, as well as the awards, the prestige, and the hundreds of millions of monthly visitors, none of it exists without IGN’s incomparable staff. Together, we have navigated a pandemic, multiple entertainment strikes, massive live events seasons, surprising trailer leaks, and whatever other curveballs the multiple industries that we cover have thrown at us. Through it all we have delivered best-in-class articles, videos, guides, live-events, and more, banding together to ensure IGN remains a top player across industries. 

Now the IGN creative teams are banding together once more, this time to form the IGN Creators Guild. We are unionizing with the News Guild alongside our colleagues at the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, as well as other leaders in the online media space like the L.A. Times, The New Yorker, Vice, and Time. 

Of our many goals, we first and foremost want to see IGN grow and thrive as digital media continues to become more and more tumultuous. We have been an institution for over 25 years, and the creators of IGN want to see it continue for 25 more and beyond. But to do so, we need support.
We need fair and competitive pay for all, including those who are asked to live and work in some of the most expensive cities in the United States; affordable health insurance; and better diversity, equity, and inclusion across the board. We need protection against layoffs amid a hectic media landscape, guarantees of reasonable compensation when those layoffs cannot be avoided, as well as protections against generative AI and similar technologies.

Our little union is getting a bit bigger!

Today, we proposed the addition of our product, engineering, and Humble Bundle folks into our unit.

Join us in welcoming our peers and asking IGN Entertainment Inc. management to voluntarily recognize their addition into our union!
