I'm looking for work.

I have experience working in news, features, interviews and essays, and am able to do any of the above.
Once got flown out to Paris for 24 hours for a steering wheel peripheral. I'd assumed it was to have a hands-on experience with it.

I was wrong.

All I got to do was hold a prototype of the thing then that was it. Baffling use of my time
What are the wildest video game promo events you can remember?

Things like game reviewers being brought out to the gun range to shoot a .50 cal or SAW.

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

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.

Inverse has decided to "divest from gaming content" so I'm out of a job again!
This is almost certainly the end of my career in games media, and probably the end of my writing career. I'd love for that not to be the case, so I'd appreciate any leads but I'm honestly not hopeful for obvious reasons♥️

Do us a favor and like/share this video of you're a Pokemon fan

I put loads of work into this one, and I love what we're doing over at @culturedex.bsky.social 🙌

I'm really hoping to get to 1000 subscribers in the next week
New @culturedex.bsky.social Video 📺

With over 1000 Pokémon to choose from, it's no surprise that fans think a few of them have been forgotten over time. So, I outline a way for them to return and reach their potential 💪

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.

Making Critical Distance list of 2025 games criticism worth reading is a fantastic way to start 2026, gotta say

Openly wept several times during the Stranger Things finale. I am not immune to propaganda

Messy, messy season, but the core emotion is done so well that it all just fades away at the end

Also mark this down, Sadie Sink is going to be nominated for an Oscar within a decade

Hope everybody has a good New Years Eve! My one hope is that my 2026 is better work-wise than 2025

Not to defend this season (which has been undoubtedly messy) but I don't think Stranger Things fans know what queer baiting actually is

Working with Chris has been a highlight of my career, to put it lightly. He's one of the best in the industry.
It took some time to process, but sadly my time at Rolling Stone has come to an end. Alongside some other fantastic writers, I was recently laid off.

Some folks may only know me as the gaming editor, but my 10-year run encompassed so much more.
