New Tomb Raider trailer. Lara Croft’s in a plane during a storm and it looks like she’s going to crash. I bet she’s gonna survive this. Somehow. Read more

Here we go! Yosuke Matsuda introducing the showcase, which will feature “upcoming titles” for 2018 and beyond... and reminds us to stay tuned ‘til the very end. HMMM. Read more

Perhaps we only think we’ve seen it all. Perhaps Square is about to announce a truly wild surprise... like... uh... the FF7 remake will be from Sephiroth’s perspective? I don’t know, Chris. You’ve got five more minutes to predict the next best surprise reveal. Make ‘em count. Read more

Hi, Chris! I’m ready to see some Final Fantasy news, and perhaps a few more dribs and drabs of Kingdom Hearts news, although we’ve already had quite a bit of that. Read more

Everyone already said “write more,” so I’ll add: find a good peer group of other writers. People unafraid to call out your shit and keep you curious about experiences outside your own, as any good reporter should be. Online pals will do, but in-person is great too, especially if you want to make a regular writers’… Read more

I didn’t play Dream Daddy, but it’s hard to beat Hatoful Boyfriend when it comes to both world-building and unexpected humor. Monster Prom’s multiplayer aspect adds a secondary layer of novelty that I enjoy, but it’s much more intentionally “edgy” than Dream Daddy (from what I know of that game). All three games seem… Read more

Janelle Monae. Been a fan since “Many Moons” in 2008 and I am loving her latest, Dirty Computer, which is a Prince-influenced banger of a pop album.

Some friends of mine recently turned me on to Loona’s music videos and their whole extended universe, so.... that. Read more

Fighting game of fashionistas dealing damage with walks and looks. Also, some sort of combination music/rhythm game and fighting game. Could all be the same great idea, really. Read more

Almost done with The Broken Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin. Took a break from it last week to devour all of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara first. Both excellent, although totally different genres! Read more

Metroid Prime Pinball Read more

Finally. A contest I can win. 5 women’s, 3 men’s. And yes, I do get sweet discounts from buying children’s shoes, thank you. Read more

A lot of people told me it looked hard and that maybe I should pick a job in a more secure field. A couple of people told me I should keep it up anyway. Everyone made good points. Clearly I listened to the minority on this one. Read more

If you like madrigals (definitely not everyone’s type of thing), Giaches de Wert composed some haunting and beautiful arrangements. His version of “Datemi pace” is a favorite of mine. Here’s a link to an ensemble performing it. Read more

I started taking boxing classes again, after a few years away from it. I also started meditating for the first time this year, and now I do that almost every day. Both are excellent brain escape mechanisms that happen to dovetail with the “look at Twitter/screens less” advice that my colleagues have already offered… Read more
