Emerging from post-Sundance hibernation to declare: I'm on the lookout for a new full-time job. Seeking Chicago-based or remote editing and writing opportunitiesβ€”don't have to be in the field; I'm extremely open to copywriting, technical writing, marketing stuff, etc. Email and portfolio in profile.

And what if Lady Gaga showed up during the Super Bowl halftime show to perform underrated β€œBorn This Way” banger β€œAmericano”? What THEN?

Something about the β€œreveal” feels as icky as the project itself? Just clearly not thought-through and feels like HBO and Hasbro… don’t respect what they’re working with?

I am no longer in entertainment media. I am no longer in games media. None of this has any bearing on my day to day anymore. None of this, honestly, really matters. That said…

Why do you drop news of a Baldur’s Gate 3 HBO show after work hours on a Thursday on DEADLINE?!

Good morning!

February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

My great nerd shame is that I’ve never done a Star Trek, but I’ve gotta say, I’m really enjoying this Starfleet Academy

The luxury of being dragged for your bad takes and not… everything else 🫠 The luxury! I yearn to be judged for my shitty opinions!

I am an unabashed Christopher Nolan stan, but I do think it would be really funny if The Odyssey just sucks

Ideally I will drag her into being my coworker at a third place, but if you’re smart, you will beat me to it πŸ€”

Fun fact: I first worked with Alyssa at Variety, and she was so good that when I left for IGN I said β€œdamn, how do I get Alyssa over here too?” So I can personally vouch for how adaptable, talented and creative she is and SO fun to work with. The STRONGEST of recommendations

Sorry to double dip on this announcement, but what was once a temp job is permanent as of today. Officially Letters Editor at the Los Angeles Times ✨

I’ve loved overseeing the Letters to the Editor section for the past nine months and now I get to keep doing it and I just think that’s neat.

This game also clearly showed Caleb is the real deal. Chicago finally has a Dude. He's the truth. As a Rams fan I was scared shitless of him when he had the ball. Not too many QBs I feel that way about.

To everyone cheering the Bears’ loss… I hope you enjoy a much more boring playoffs without us!

Generational talent. Caleb fucking Williams.
