Happy Birthday, Stealth! I'm a fellow 29er. (Just August instead of September. :p)

Cyberpunk rocked. A great experience and Phantom Liberty elevated it even further.

The industry's not quite done shaking things out. Sucks but hey, can't keep it going without a breakout hit.

Anyway, I'm looking for work! I'd love to stay in game production/management so hit me up. Producer, writer, localization, quality analysis. DMs open!

Retweets are super appreciated.

Full disclosure: I managed to misspell the very first word in an earlier version of this same post. So I deleted it! (I also wanted to add the Petz logo, but couldn't manage to do that before from my phone.)

Due to my run covering the original Virtual Console at IGN, I've ended up mentioned on dozens of classic Nintendo games' Wikipedia pages. But I think the page for the Petz brand takes the cake -- there I'm credited *21* times!

Immortality is long and boring. Makes sense he'd adopt a fake name and go muck around in other nations' wars for a bit of fun.
