Deadman’s kryptonite is he doesn’t have a Beach - or does he? 👀
I love the Knives Out series and enjoy Marvel and DC movies as much as the next guy but I think Deadman is probably the most boring superhero there is.

#WelcomeToDerry is 50% excellent horror show and 50% prequel bullshit. I didn’t need to know why It can’t leave Derry - I just assumed it liked it there - or have it explained that the Derry Darkness is discharge in the water making people aggressive.

I know everyone’s talking about Wicked but what the FUCK did they do to American Psycho: The Musical!?
Why does the revival sound like it’s Sweeney Todd through the lens of Disney!?
They massacred my boy!

Kat sums up my very complex feelings about Blue Prince and ultimately comes down more positively than I do. Brilliant video. One for anyone who fell into its hole 👇
***New video is out!***
I made the Blue Prince video. It took me 6 months. It's here.

It’s been an absolute privilege to work with Samantha on every RE video. Somehow she was able to keep a consistent style while
Playing around with different genres! A powerhouse.

here is a taste of some of the pieces for this episode, tons of fun to lean into the kids art book style!
I also got to do a bit of editing, which reminded me that I also love doing it.

#Dispatch stuck the landing. A great superhero story that’s got me wanting a Season 2 for sure. Feels like episode 8 was where a lot of ideas became fully realised and I’d love to see what the team can do mechanically now the foundations are in place. Some of the best writing of the year too.

The last minute of this is possibly my favourite thing to come out of our work together. A tempest of sounds, pulling from the rest of the songs.
Hopefully Marina will be able to top it when #ResidentEvilRequiem comes out! 👀

Finished #TheWitcher Season 4. What a shocking season finale for a shocking season of television. It’s not even just about being a book fan, it’s about the show itself. Confusing, dull, aimless. The worst season yet by far.

Despite drawing tons of Resident Evil art recently, it's been a while since I did a main character piece! And I been inspired to do Jill Valentine for a hot minute 😄

Between the numerous recastings, the kill-me-boredom of Ciri’s storyline, and the fact it’s been two and a half years since S3, the latest season of The Witcher is Very Not Good.
I saw reviews saying it was as good as S1, but we’re halfway through and so far it’s the weakest season by a gap.

Did not expect #Dispatch to crank the horny meter up in episode 4 but I’m here for it. This game’s tone keeps reminding me of Invincible in all the best ways

Despite a limp ending, #TheOuterWorlds2 is a fantastic sequel that mostly fulfills the promise of an Obsidian RPG.
Crazy weapons. Satisfying combat. Deep role playing. A lovable party of characters. A reactive world. But the real surprise was how dense its world building is.
I love this game.
