PR guy for SQUARE ENIX. I love video games and dogs.

I love Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World, but Splatoon Raiders is easily the best Switch 2 exclusive. This game slaps, eats, slays and all the other words the cool kids use. 🔥 I just finished it and I still can’t stop playing.

Rewatched Where the Wild Things Are last night and I still maintain that it's one of the best movies of the 21st century. Elegant, beautiful, heartbreaking and made me ugly sob for 45 minutes.

My dog started limping on our walk and, with more urgency and precision than I’ve displayed in any task in my life, I threw myself on the ground and pulled out a small sharp pebble from between his paw pads.

After one year and hundreds of hours, I finally finished all 50 games in UFO 50. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best indie games ever made. I can’t wrap my head around how the developers made these games so authentic and unique. My 12 favorites: (1/3)

I played this a little in the office and during preview events, but finally got around to finishing ADVENTURES OF ELLIOT and it’s great! Much more “Mana” than “Zelda” (compliment), the game is super charming, very pretty and has a genuinely good story.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder replay 100% complete! This might be my most controversial opinion, but I think this is the best 2D Mario game ever made. Sure, 3 and World are more influential (and both forever masterpieces!), but I can’t deny that Wonder is just so damn creative and fun. It’s perfect!

Star Fox 64 is inarguably the best Star Fox game, so of course I was going to love this remake. It’s absolutely gorgeous (maybe one of Nintendo’s best-looking games ever?), but more importantly, it *feels* like Star Fox. I’m loving it and can’t wait to get all the medals.

Even though I have so many games to catch up on, I decided to replay Super Mario Bros. Wonder like a dummy. But, man, this game is great. And I’m kind of obsessed with the way Elephant Mario looks when he jumps while crouched. He’s so flat! 😆

Finally got around to playing SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT. The gameplay might be a little repetitive, but the game is beautiful, with an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack and a story that is both emotional and important. The developers created something truly special. We need more games like this.
