I interviewed @pipeworksstudio.bsky.social Simon Strange about Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered! Going with “Remaster” instead of “Remake,” cutting Hedorah(!), working with Toho, and so much more. We talked about it all on @ign.com. This one meant the world.
The Big Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered Interview: Launching Against GTA 6, Cutting Hedorah, and Staying (Mostly) Faithful to a GameCube Classic
IGN spoke with Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered senior designer Simon Strange to hear about the game fans have long pleaded for — but never thought would actually happen.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is the only remaster Pipeworks can confirm for now, but "a lot of stuff is on the table," and there are "a lot of conversations to be had" in the future. https://bit.ly/4xx9XZd
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered will take on GTA 6 when both games launch this November, but the team behind the arena fighter said Rockstar's latest was "never part of our thinking" when choosing a release date. https://bit.ly/4gu7QiV
So we found out this morning that everyone - myself included - from Restart's editorial staff has been let go. After like six layoffs in six years, that gif is my unfortunate reaction. Looking! For! Opportunities! I guess I'm open for freelance for a while!

We've lost the plot if shows like Invincible, who prioritize annual release schedules over the show not looking like sliding PNGs half the time, become the template for how we adapt comics moving forward. That's animation as content, not art.

There’s this random level in WarioLand 4, where the there’s a lady singing all the way through, and I just think that’s amazing, for a GBA game.
Sad to say that my role at The Escapist is up for redundancy. Looking for further roles in games media or PR, and am also very available for freelance opportunities and mock reviews!
I'm working on a big feature about ARC Raiders & Marathon and want to talk to people currently playing ARC Raiders (I don't care if you're a hardcore or casual player). If you're up for a quick chat, please raise your hand. Shares are appreciate and would make my work easier.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.
Inverse's Gaming section is being shut down as the company "divests" from gaming content. I'm out of a job along with my wonderful co-writers. I've put my heart and soul into this job for four years. Gonna need to take time to process, but I'm now completely open for work - and boy do I need it.
Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Conversely, I'd like to offer up a very recent example of @rianjohnson.bsky.social using studio embargo notes to say something very cool, human, and most notably _respectful_ of the craft, skill, and love of the people who write professionally about art.
