Another author intro thing from Instagram I wanted to share here.

Anyone else in a pre-Zelda lull? Can't decide what to play - no sense starting anything too big, but equally I don't know if I'll finish anything on my backlog
(Obviously, you'll all be playing Curse of Resthaven from Thursday, but aside from that...)

First review in for Curse of Resthaven - and it's lovely! So pleased for the Hilltop team.
Hilltop Studio's Curse of Resthaven is a rich, layered experience, and its timing couldn't be better. It's the best mix of tricks and treats this Halloween season. @PlayHilltop @DigitalBandidos (Code provided)

ALT Key art for Curse of Resthaven showing main character Ambrose holding a torch and secondary character Agata in the background. Text reads: "Curse of Resthaven is far more than "just another roguelite." It's a compelling mystery wrapped in a wonderfully interconnected mix of investigation, trading, and exploration. Hilltop Studios has given me every reason to keep exploring and and looking at my screen to whisper just one more loop... ...I'm not ready to leave Resthaven yet"

Finally watched The Mandalorian & Grogu last night, and now I have the urge to replay Star Wars Outlaws (a short stint running around as Mando in Lego Skywalker Saga didn't cut it).
Still a crime that isn't getting a sequel!

I'm hosting the Career Fair stage at MCM Comic Con this weekend. If you pass by, come and say hi (not while I'm *on* stage, of course)

Starting to feel quite targeted in terms of the IP the industry just gives up on. Anyone else got favourites they want to break free from the Raiders Warehouse of IP Hoarding?

Finished my replay of Majora's Mask. Still a standout entry in the series, would love to see it get the Switch 2 remake treatment
(Side note: is it November 5th yet?)

Call me a fucking renegade, but here’s what I’d do if I was in charge of a giant video game publisher: I would publish the games people are excited for.

Let's honour BioWare's legacy: what's your favourite BioWare game of all time? (And why is it Mass Effect 2?)

Heartbreaking. While I haven't engaged with their games in the same way since Mass Effect 3, BioWare is one of those storied developers that genuinely made an impact on this industry and myself (I even began applying to work there once). Really hope the affected get support

Want to experience the impeccable Autumn vibes? Be sure to check out the #SteamNextFest demo
Our game launches in EIGHT DAYS, ideal, considering its IMPECCABLE AUTUMN VIBES. 🍂
Imagine: sweater weather, pumpkin spice, Neil Young's Harvest in your earbuds...
...until you trip over what you thought was a root, but is actually a human bone.
Perfect timing, really. 😉

I know we're all excited for the Ocarina Remake rendition of Gerudo Valley, but how have I never heard the Smash Ultimate version until today?
This, as the youths say, slaps. Nintendo, get this shit on the Music app pronto!

Thank you to everyone who's been spreading the word and helping Curse of Resthaven approach this wishlist milestone. Let's see if it can get there before launch next week!
Incredible first day of Next Fest! SO close to a big wishlist milestone, so share Curse of Resthaven with friends who like cool shit.
Meanwhile, meet more of Resthaven's fine, upstanding businesspeople. Absolutely no skeletons in their closets.
Now, about that kidnapping...

Working at MCM Comic-Con this weekend. Asked my daughter if I could take my Switch 2.
Daughter: "No, I need it for Pokopia"
Me: "Okay, no problem"
