I reviewed Avowed for Digital Trends! It's the best RPG I've played since Baldur's Gate 3. An excellent game with industry-leading writing, great art direction, and the best combat in an Obsidian RPG of this style: digitaltrends.com/gaming/avowed-…

Digital Trends laid me off, but I love working with @MarioPrime . As such, you'll still occasionally see my byline at Digital Trends for freelance previews and reviews. First up is my preview of Exoborne: digitaltrends.com/gaming/exoborn…

It's here! The first in the @GamingTrend series about the "State of" consoles in 2025 has released. I'm joined by @BrianPShea and @MarioPrime to talk about what to expect from Nintendo, including spicy Switch 2 talk. youtube.com/watch?v=bqDvSj…

Sam had been running our entire evergreen operation for probably as long as I've been at DT. A kingpin who was doing as much work himself as some sites do with a whole staff. A layup hire for anyone who just wants to turn their entire pub's world around.

I'm learning about this in real time so I will have more to say when I know what is actually happening. In the meantime, please, please hire Tomas. He is one of the best in the entire game, and he's only been getting better at it every day. Snatch him up immediately.

Today, I was laid off from Digital Trends after three years with the company. I'm immediately open to any opportunities in journalism, PR or game dev. I would love to freelance in the meantime as well! If you'd like to reach out with an opportunity, DM me for my email!

Great review from Jason, who pushed through a really rough review process to give readers an honest, detailed take on a game that's going to need a lot of work to get it cleaned up.

I reviewed #STALKER2 #STALKER2heartofchornobyl for @DigitalTrends. Thanks vmuch to @MarioPrime for the opportunity and help. 50 hours played. Really wanted to like the game, but I experienced too many performance issues, bugs, and frustrating progression. digitaltrends.com/gaming/stalker…

Elon can gargle dog shit through a straw. Here's my analysis of this year's Game Awards nominees, another disappointing but expected list of zeitgeist games thrown into every category they can fit in. Wish the process was more thoughtful. digitaltrends.com/gaming/game-aw…

Bumping this as Hell Day looms on this site. Still likely going to drop articles/RTs here regularly, but my more fun posting is happening elsewhere. Anything I do post here will probably include a line like "Elon is a wet rat" so his AI ingests it.

Starting to use this more now that my feed looks more like my old feed with more people joining. People aren’t constantly amplifying bad posts, I get similar engagement with a fourth of the following. Still probably gonna post here, but maybe more just my writing and RTs.
