Hi, I'm Matt. You might've seen my name in games like Trails through Daybreak or even Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (and maybe Trails to Azure.) I'm a freelance localization editor with a passion for so many different pieces of media that I'd be here all day listing them all.

Hope we can be friends!
Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays to everyone!! Very blessed to have the people I have in my life. Wishing everyone well!

About to cross 300 hours in Deadlock and the last 200 hours have been in the last two months. BUT I've finally achieved Emissary 1 so that's nice. Getting up there in rank, perhaps I'll see the top some day...

All I can say is love it or hate it, The Game Awards remind me every year just how much I love video games and the industry itself (but not the corporations that mistreat people.) It sparks beautiful things like Expedition 33.

Rollo, who I adopted back in July, sadly passed away from a brief battle with liver failure on Friday. He suddenly got worse and there was nothing we could do.

He was the sweetest boy and loved his little sister Mishy very much. Fly high, big guy.

A good friend of mine had their Switch and all games (among other things) stolen from their car. They still have the cases, just not any of the cartridges. If anyone is selling these games for cheap by chance, please let me know! Again, only the carts are needed. Not having a box is totally fine.

Been working on a video about Metal Gear Solid Delta since it's release but just now getting around to seriously trying to get it done and man, I had a lot of fun with it but damn is FOX Hunt gonna be dead in six months with no cross-platform play! Also wish they didn't just color within the lines.

Glad to see the Dodgers paid 900 million to give us all heart palpitations on a Saturday night.

This was my first Halloween living in a bigger area and the scariest thing of all was being in a home, in the dark, all by yourself and seeing hordes of children walking by. I kept thinking they were gonna ring the doorbell and demand candy I do not have.

Ninja Gaiden 4 rocks and that makes me happy. I just love some good-ass action games.

If you haven't heard from me in the last few weeks, I'm not dead or ignoring you it's actually because I've been putting 50 hours a week into Deadlock relentlessly because they added a hot vampire lady that I've gotten really good with.

Today I lost someone who was truly like a brother to me. I am gutted to the core. I guess I can say so now that it's on his Facebook page. He even listed himself as my actual brother on Facebook. Anyone who knows me knows how close we were. RIP, senpai. You will always be a ninja.

Happy Ys vs. Trails in the Sky day!! I loved the brief period I QA tested it in the Geofront and to see it come out officially was neat. I got to participate a bit in the console network test for the release and it's superb. Refint did an awesome job.

Today I'm playing Urban Reign! An underloved, tough as nails PS2 beat-em-up which beat-me-down, over and over again. And it's amazing. Join Brad Hawk on the hardest 100 fights of his life to save a city he doesn't seem all that invested in.

Reposts appreciated, hope you enjoy! youtu.be/cBEuaOYPYwA
