I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Brian's been working on this for a while now, and it's phenomenal to see it all laid out. the sheer breadth is incredible. make some time to check it out!
Here it is: A piece I've been working on since September. I spoke with a ton of folks from across the many eras of Fallout – from Tim Cain and Todd Howard to Jonathan Nolan and Walton Goggins – to tell the definitive oral history of Fallout bsky.app/profile/game...
Fallout has gone from a small side project to a worldwide phenomenon. We spoke with many of the people behind the various eras of the franchise to tell the story of the series in their own words.

it still feels crazy to say all this and be here doing this work. but hey, please check out this video interview about how IO built its Bond.
In the latest video for our 007 First Light cover story, we talked with the team at IO Interactive about how they designed their version of James Bond.

I was laid off today, among hundreds of others at The Washington Post.

I loved covering games here, and I am so proud of our international coverage.

My colleagues — those who lost their jobs and those who didn't — are rockstars. It was such an honor to work alongside them.
