South of Midnight weaves a spellbinding tale of grief, loss, and hope Southern folklore makes for a fascinating backdrop to Hazel’s story

I reviewed #SouthofMidnight for @polygon.com. It has an engrossing story and dark themes, as well as concepts (mysticism and folk legends) that were relatable... even though I live 9,000 miles away from the Bible Belt. Unfortunately, combat was pretty underwhelming. www.polygon.com/review/55184...

Salamat kay @thesmokingmanx.bsky.social at sa ibang editors sa feedback, at kina Rue, Bryan, at Matt Chang sa tulong.

Shout out din kay Nell Raban (Pinoy dev) who designed Rizal's narrative events/quests.

For @gamespot.com, I wrote about the "Rizz Man" himself, Dr. Jose Rizal, and how his inclusion in #CivilizationVII helps showcase Filipino culture.
I also interviewed narrative designer Rue Taylor and VO artist Bryan Allan Encarnacion.

#Civilization7 review quick notes:

#KingdomComeDeliverance2 review quick notes:

At one point, I was genuinely tempted to write:
#KingdomComeDeliverance2 was developed by Warhorse Studios, and this guide was developed by a workhorse. 🤣

Favorite thing about WWE games? Making and uploading my own CAWs, as well as having a Universe Mode with half a dozen shows and countless CAWs participating in those shows.

So, yes, if your outlet is looking for someone who loves wrestling games, please let me know. #WWE2K25

Wrestling games I reviewed/guided when I got into games media: WWE 2K19, 2K20, 2K22, 2K23, 2K Battlegrounds, AEW Fight Forever, and WrestleQuest.
Sadly, I couldn't find an opportunity to cover WWE 2K24 when it released last year (it was already assigned everywhere I asked). /3
