If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

Without Metal Gear Gay, I don't know what I'd do with myself

One of the best things I ever did was let go of ranked as a symbol of anything other than playtime and *sometimes* caliber. It's fun to use as a benchmark occasionally but you're never going to talk to someone at a tournament and ask about their rank.

I am unemployed so my opinions are those of the people

I think this game looks awesome. And I love fog. I loooove fog.

Live Service Games Need to be Weird if They Want to Survive Marathon sure is colorful

New piece up today! I had fun with the Marathon Server Slam this past weekend, but given recent events, live service multiplayer games need to make themselves stand out or else.

Some Marathon screenshots because this game is soooo pretty

From the last piece GI wrote on Highguard, internal testing went really well but it didn't replicate a realistic play environment and was initially gonna be a shadowdrop like how Apex Legends was. IMO the game is really fun and feels GREAT, it's a shame it's dying so soon.

Highguard will be permanently shut down next week, on March 12. gameinformer.com/2026/03/03/h...

Personally, the only thing that confused me were the buttons. I'd mix up what LR and LB did in the menu a handful of times, and then there's having X and A both be confirmation buttons in some form in the game.

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

I need Kinato's Magic to persist. Ichi the Witch is still alive and kicking, and KM has had a pretty interesting start thus far.

Went to find reference pics for a piece I'm commissioning and got hit with AI immediately. I normally try to splice together image to get the idea across more clearly, but I'm just gonna draw this shit out from now on.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

I reached a point a couple years ago when I was like "if I want to get hired, I should probably have more forward-facing social media" and now I realize that kinda doesn't matter.

Reading this made me realize that I fucked up getting comfortable using my face as my pfp. I must go into the depths and draw something.

Been a while since I've banged this drum, but:

Hardline felt SO especially good to me and now I know why

Would anybody be interested in hearing an idea that I've had for a longer essay/potential pitch and talk shop w/me

We live in a court of jesters, man.

I'm a bit confused. Isn't the number of players in an area based on if players queue into there? Maybe I'm misreading something, but how does this update work?

If you've gotta use "[noun]slop" to describe a game, just go ahead and pack it up, man.

I'm so serious when I tell you that between now and the full release of this game, I plan to not be online in such a critical way. I don't want any news, and leaks, any spoilers whatsoever. There is nothing I enjoy more than playing a Pokemon game blind.
