Pour one out for Y3 Remastered. Yakuza 3 is flawed for sure but there's so much heart in that original game - and the work we were able to do in making Y3R the dad game it always deserved to be is something I will forever be proud of 🥹

(it's also not-so-secretly one of my favorites in the series)

Extremely proud to announce I was a translator on Octopath Traveler 0! 🎉 So glad this game got a second life on consoles, and heartened to see reviewers say the story brought them to tears. Guess that means we did our job. 😊

YEAAA it's so good and so stupid, I love it

I am allllmost done setting up for ThoughtBubble… I tell myself I’m done but I just know I’m heading there 8 in the morning to nitpick and adjust for 2 hours 😭 find me at booth C2 in the 2000s AD hall!!!

Also I have some Baldur’s gate standees… 15 pounds each, or both for 25 pounds… 🙈🙈🙈

Few things better than a cup of tea and a cozy RPG (Inazuma Eleven) on a rainy night

Screenshot from "Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment" depicting the unlocked character Pinnec in an action pose swinging a spear. Descriptive text reads: "A battle-hardened Rito veteran who once regarded Raphica with contempt. Over time, however, he has come to respect the young elder, and is now one of his most ardent - and senior - supporters"

Seriously, my excitement when I first saw the artwork and knew I would get to voice a character this FIERCE. #hyrulewarriors #ageofimprisonment

I can't believe I get to say this, but I'm excited to announce I'm a part of the cast of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment!!!

Big Thanks to @nintendousa @thehalpnetwork Hari Leigh & Atlas Talent for the opportunity! I'm a massive Zelda fan so this means a lot to me ☺️

I put BoTW on my 10 games to get to know me, so this is absolutely insane, but I voice Cadlan in the English version of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment ⚔️🐟

To voice a canon playable character is a dream come true for a longtime Zelda fan like me 🥹 I hope you enjoy him!

💚🩵 I'M IN A ZELDA GAME, Y'ALL!!!!! 🩵💚

⚔️ You can hear me as Ronza in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment!!! ⚔️

THANK YOU Nintendo, @thehalpnetwork.bsky.social, and Hari Leigh for having me. I was utterly obsessed with TOTK and am so incredibly honored to be in the Zelda universe! 🥹

A power that great tests the very depths of its bearer's soul...

I'm grateful to return to Hyrule as the English voice of Rauru in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment!

Thank you to Nintendo & @thehalpnetwork.bsky.social for having me and my agents at Vox for making it happen.

It’s a bit hard for me to put into words just how very much this project meant to me, but if you know me at all, you probably understand. Echoing Jon’s sentiments below in expressing big love and gratitude to everyone involved. This game is genuinely a blast and I hope you’ll check it out! 💚

Are you ready to battle the Demon King in the #AgeofImprisonment?

Thank you to Nintendo for bringing us on to assist in casting and recording a legendary troop of characters! #HyruleWarriors: Age of Imprisonment is available for the Nintendo Switch 2 now!

I voice the brave Korok warrior CALAMO in HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. This character was an absolute joy to play, and it was really cool to get to be a part of a Zelda game. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.

It's difficult to overstate the influence Recettear's surprise hit of a digital English release was in terms of getting the Japanese games industry to turn their heads towards PC as a viable release platform.

We all owe a lot to Andrew and his work and I'm so sad to hear this.

A burden I must bear
