Today is Insomniac’s 30 year anniversary. The constant internal refrain yesterday: “we can’t remember anything like this ever happening before.” And just months since releasing (arguably) the most successful game in the studio’s history. Baffled, angry, and heartbroken.

Spider-Cop didn’t believe in awards. A cup of black-as-pitch coffee at the end of an all night stakeout- that was his idea of an award. But as news of this nomination crackled over the wire, a thin smile crept to his lips. “Not too shabby,” he growled, “not too shabby at all.”

Well, The Fablemans is absolutely one of Spielberg’s best movies (which kinda means it’s one of the best movies, period). Its financial failure signals, I think, that the public has moved on from cinema as a meaningful art form. That’s so dramatic! But I think it’s true.

Great, tangible video showing off the power of lighting. - clarifies emotion (character's faces / expressions more legible) - focuses attention (contrast / separation of foreground background) - establishes mood (joy/despair/etc) Lighting is music for your eyes.

Amazing that Obi-Wan and Stranger Things both open with children cowering in fear while their schools are turned into abattoirs. It’s almost as though the universe is trying to tell us: this is where these images belong. In works of fiction. Get angry. Make change.

So many gaming outlets that should know better have dropped the "should working conditions in AAA change?" convo for "who cares! RDR2 is amazing!" Much respect to @kirkhamilton and @Kotaku for not ignoring the people who slaved to create this masterpiece.

I'm bad at social media and at self promotion. But the great @jon_paquette encouraged me to share: working with him, @Christosgage and @RaggySays was the most AMAZING experience of my professional life. So insanely grateful to see our work now in print.

Turns out Gorsuch, Kavanagh and Barrett all lied during their confirmation hearings that Roe was settled law. Who knew? Oh yeah: literally everyone.

At one point in production I remember talking w Andrew and saying “let’s see more teeth” re: Venom’s animations, and Andrew responded with the most giddy, evil smile. Dude delivered the terrifying fantasy and then some!

So so glad people are loving MJ as much as we do. @LauraBaileyVO brought the thunder to this role. The MJ sequence in this article was the very FIRST thing I wrote on Spider-Man; absolutely crazy to think about how far we've come.

Ok I figured it out. If I can make RDR3 by myself and keep 100% of the profits I THINK I can afford a 1br in Manhattan. Wish me luck.

The little hanging tennis ball in the garage of Edith Finch is maybe my fav env art detail in any game. Simple, well observed details like this are the difference between creating a "game" space and a real space.
