"In order for me to get everything I want, you're going to have to give up a few things" is nooooot quite the compelling argument he thinks it is.

Got a holiday toy catalog in the mail and the presentation is so dull it makes the toys look like supporting evidence in a murder trial. Also included are images from the Toys R Us 1996 catalog. No reason.

The inciting incident for Primetime is evidently that Aaron Sorkin tried to write a comedy.

Heck yeah! Jerome's art is absolutely incredible--a perfect accompaniment for the new story :) If you missed the Kickstarter btw you can still nab a copy here! kickstarter.com/projects/lea…
Cover art for the upcoming Armello novella, featuring the Bandit Clan, which kept me busy in the past few months. It's part of an omnibus called "Armello: The Founding and The Fall" on Kickstarter. It was a pleasure working on this one!

RAMageddon’s driving up costs all over, so we’re making a classically animated adventure game that runs on a 3-year-old mini PC with integrated graphics! Check out the demo and Wishlist on #Steam!

The discourse about Destiny 2 "dying" because it won't receive any additional updates is fascinating to me as someone who thinks the original Unreal Tournament still slaps despite not being officially updated in 25 years.

Capcom absolutely killing it this year, wow.

HOW did I not know John Spencer was in Wing Commander IV??
This game was the one, when I was a kid, that made me think "wait, I can act in videogames?" Now most of the game scripts I read are better than the live action ones.

Been pulled between a bunch of projects these days, but I'm so excited to see the @ArmelloGame omnibus finally ready to enter the printing phase! There have also been a ton of fun updates on War of the Western Deep over at @TheWesternDeep's feed--that's been keeping me busy X)

“Honey, you have to get rid of that DZ Discovery Zone in the basement. The wails of the child ghosts haunting its liminal corridors are growing ever-louder.” “Ugh, FINE.”

Ah man, looks like they accidentally swapped in the subtitles from Enrico Pallazzo’s performance of Nessun Dorma at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony!

Beyond Good and Evil 2 surviving the massive shakeup indicates to me that it's evolved beyond just being some game in dev hell--it's Ubisoft deep lore. To cancel a game first spoken of in the ancient tomes of 2008, the Glory Days, would be tantamount to corporate heresy.

2008 by the way was the same year Ubisoft released Far Cry 2 and a year before Assassin's Creed 2. Establishing templates that would persist for over a decade.

If you make me choose between the subscription-based AI-powered voice-controlled refrigerator that plays TikToks and serves ads or the weird goo fridge I'll probably pick the weird goo fridge.
