Dad, Husband, and Professional. I enjoy games, movies, and a good story. I STILL hate Nazis, snakes, and companies not paying workers fairly.

This week, I didn't think I could be more upset and disappointed by a studio move than Playstation closing Bluepoint. But Satya Nadella doesn't like to be second in anything, and here we are.

Game exec walks into a curry house.

β€œMake me a pizza?”

Executives pressuring teams to build live service games, getting cold feet, and then shutting them down is becoming a distressing trend. Easily avoidable, but increasingly common.

Pour one out for one of the best studios to ever do it -- a colossal waste from Sony.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

Truly the most stupid timeline. At a point in time where renewable energy has tipped into genuine widespread viability, capital invents whole new ways to fabricate waste and scarcity.

Sly Cooper sounds so much like the name of a guest that would be on that podcast, I completely forgot about the IP.

If you are in Columbia, TN, and you want to support small businesses, may I recommend Love Crust Pizza? Fantastic chewy crust with just the right amount of crunch. The sauce and toppings are equally delicious.

Just started my latest Star Wars KOTOR playthrough , and I'm just now discovering that Bradley Cooper is one of the preset male-presenting characters.

Apparently this is a corporate thing in general. It reminds me of when I would turn in 5 pages of rambling nonsense in school because I knew my teacher would only read 3 paragraphs. What surprised me was how many times that got me an A.

I read this as Harrison Ford's Bread Knife, and I got way too excited.

I think my favorite take on a children's book as a kid was Hook for Peter Pan. As an adult, less so, but it's still an interesting watch.

100% the least coherent, even within the same lead's film series. James Bond should be 100 years old as well...nobody cares.

I'm looking forward to them opening up the library of available titles. This is a great update to my "Dad machine".

How do people watch something like 'Brazil' and think, "That's the world I want"?

I don’t understand why games include stealth if you’re just going to be punished for imperfection, but would genuinely love to learn the ins and outs of why something so generally disliked it so common in action games

Either they are filming a Borat sequel in Franklin, TN or they have the best sound like working the Sonic drive through.

Instead of relying on AI to β€œmake games faster” β€” a completely made up assertion at present β€” we could instead make game more responsibly.

You don’t need to build entire business plans around chasing trends and mandating teams of 150 to make photorealistic open world games meant to last a decade.
