After over 2 years of work, I can finally share in-game footage of what myself and the team at Skydance Interactive have been working on. Skydance’s Behemoth is one of my favorite games I've ever helped develop, and I'm very excited for gamers to play it.

Rolled credits on Spider-Man 2 last night. I’m in awe of the quality bar Insomniac achieved on this title. One of the best games I’ve played in a long time. 👏

Coolest thing about the Apple Vision Pro demo was that in a busy, crowded and noisy Apple Store, watching a film felt like I was in my own private movie theater. I’m very excited about the potential for personal spatial computing and VR/AR application.

🥲 Rolled credits on Final Fantasy XVI.
I can’t remember the last time a game made me not want to put the controller down until it was finished. The characters, story and world are all world-class. Bravo to the development team! 👏

I had the privilege of seeing Pixar’s Elemental along with a Q&A with the Director and Composer of the film at the Aero. With relatable characters you come to care about, an incredibly heart warming story and stunning animated visuals, it is my favorite Pixar film in years.

I just DM’d my first D&D campaign in 16 years. (A Halloween one-shot 🎃)
I have missed being behind the DM screen! The feeling of delivering a fun experience for friends is unlike anything else.

I raced in the Malibu triathlon today! It was awesome getting to be a part of the first ever Skydance triathlon team. I’m looking forward to more races with this excellent crew of athletes.
