Michael

I’ve written for some of the biggest media properties on the planet, including Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Newsweek, Men’s Journal, Parade, USA Today, News•com•au, The Sun, and probably more that I’ve forgotten.

I also have qualifications and experience in marketing, community management, and PR.

I find myself in the unenviable position of needing to find work so

Hiya. I’m a writer with a decade of experience writing about video games, tech, film and TV, and more.

News reporting, interviews, guides, reviews, features — you name it, I can do and have done it.

Please hire me 🙏

Bill Gates says climate crisis won’t cause ‘humanity’s demise’ in call to shift focus to ‘improving lives’ Billionaire’s statement comes a day after UN said humanity missed 1.5C climate target and warned of devastation

Pretty wild coming back from NYCC where everyone asks what the convention scene in Australia is like and seeing my "don't even bother" sentiments reinforced in such an incredibly reaffirming way...

Remember everyone, Valve is cool so it’s okay that they run a massive casino that preys on the vulnerable and minors.

My first solo video is out. Might as well start off by admitting something I’m self-conscious about. 😅 Yep, the English lit & creative writing major is scared of big books. It happens!

Or maybe I’m supposed to say something like “I overcame Big Book Phobia and so can you with these 5 easy steps!”

They really cooked it by not actually planning that trilogy. I’ll die on the “The Last Jedi is good ackchyually” hill. Don’t get me wrong, it has issues like every Star Wars film, but Rise of Skywalker just ignoring it and doing fan service was not great.

Would love to see a proper sequel to TLJ.

How to support Vooks keep delivering the Australian Nintendo news goodness - Vooks Little ways to keep us going into our 25th year.

To support the site and keep us going for another 25 years (oh god, senior citizen stuff) here's how you can help www.vooks.net/how-to-suppo...

On this day 25 years ago, our little website began. A lot has happened since then, but somehow, you're all still here reading it. We started the site to bring Aussies on the internet local Nintendo news, which at the time was hard to come by and only sparsely covered by the big sites. Now, most of those big sites don't even exist. More than ever, independent, no-bullshit Nintendo coverage is needed and we're here for as long as we're needed. Thanks for the support, and for being part of the journey.

I just heard someone say “Your face is a crumple zone” and it might be the single worst sentence I’ve heard this year.

What’s the context here?

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I will be taking no questions.

Congratulations to the entire team at @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social on the launch of Ghost of Yōtei!!!

We're so excited to experience this beautiful new journey. 💛🎶
