Man, Dreams of Another is really nailing that dreamlike state where any semblance of understanding feels like it's just slipping right out of your grasp. Coming out of a session feels like I'm in a total brain fog.

Laura is one of the most talented and collaborative writers AND leaders I’ve ever had the fortune to work with.

Your entire studio is better if she is there. Hire her.

Laura Michet @lmichet.bsky.social · 1d

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I played through this weekend and loved it. It was fun to realize the significance of some clues only after I had solved it and went back to poke around.

Will be on the lookout for whatever you cook up next.

If a social media manager does their work from a private room, does that mean they’ve got a job at the post office? 🧐

Shoutouts again to Sultab for funding the trip, as well as On, Genki, Tokyo Slim, Liam, Bucky, Rita, Rebekah, Shuhei, Meelad, and everyone else that took some time to chat. Plus, all the PR teams that booked me for appointments fairly last minute. Can't wait to go back.

Here are all the stories and previews from my trip to Tokyo Game Show. I hadn't been since 2010, and back then it was always with a full crew at GameTrailers. So it was almost like my first time. It had its challenges, but overall, I think it all went well.

Bloodworth is back from his trip to Japan with a week's worth of stories and 14 game previews, including Resident Evil, Ananta, Let it Die: Inferno, and more.

Looking over this list, I think I got a pretty good spread of variety here, especially since I didn't have much time to book appointments and there was a lot I'd already seen at previous shows.

I have 14 games to cover from TGS, and yet my brain is still like, “I didn’t play anything for the podcast this week.” Because I didn’t do it at home.

Also, fun fact. We were gathering a crowd while we were shooting. So afterwards, @chadconcelmo.bsky.social decided to let a few fans get pictures and autographs while I tore everything down.

I was nervous about this because I was out there on my own. I'm used to having a cameraman to handle the technical side of things while I focus on the interview, but I wasn't going to turn it down. Everything's on auto, it's not perfect, but I'm happy with how it came out.
