I saw a bunch more of Clutch, the narrative racing game from @MaverickGames
A team building something new for a genre that’s being underserved. It’s easily one of my favorites from SGF, and a good reminder of the beauty of the creative process.

That’s amazing! I’ve been wanting square to make a huge documentary on the whole process of making of ff7 trilogy - especially once the final game is out. Where can one watch your rebirth documentary?

the Dragon Quest series is the reason I work at Square Enix, so it was a huge honor to help create the behind the scenes video for Dragon Quest VII Reimagined 🥹♥️

Hey Riftbounders! We've seen and heard your frustrations re: too many Legends in packs (and to a lesser extent, Battlefields). Hang in there - we've got some changes coming in a future set, and we'll share that plan with you within the next few months. Thanks for your patience!

Quick reminder that I will be at SGF and am currently taking appointments to look at games.
Let me write about said appointments for your outlet!
Please reach out if you have something that needs looking at during SGF, and maybe I can write about it for you!

I’m also available to be in videos or streams or podcasts or whatever while at the show!
Make me be in so much content that people will think I’m an industry plant

100,000 bitchass gamers who have not played something all have the same opinion about it, and then they turn around and accuse 50 reviewers of groupthink. That is so funny to me.

I’ve returned to share something I worked on for nearly four months - looking at the renaissance of turn-based games, if it came out of nowhere, and what’s next: talking to key devs behind Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Persona, Metaphor, and Sea of Stars gameinformer.com/feature/202…

I went to MagicCon Vegas this past weekend representing @IGN and played Mark Rosewater's (@maro254) new (old?) game, Mood Swings! Even better: I got to play it with the man himself and picked his brain a little about making it!

We played Mood Swings, a new trading card game from the head designer of Magic: The Gathering that's been 28 years in the making.

This man was gassed, shot with rubber bullets and/or pepper balls, tackled, all while his back was turned. He was then subdued & handcuffed. Then, maced at point blank range.
- For observing. For. Observing.
His name is:
Matthew James Obadiah Allen
You may know him as:

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)
