This was a dream project in so many ways. I’ll miss working on these scripts every Saturday morning! Big shout-outs to everyone on the team, especially @moriyoshijon.bsky.social and @brilingual.bsky.social who were in the trenches with us for all 260 episodes. Thanks and ❤️ to all who watched!

Thank you to all SILENT HILL f players for your patience. Today we've released a patch that adds a new casual difficulty and addresses feedback we've received, including reducing the amount of forced combat areas, speeding up NG+ runs, and bug fixes such as Sakuko's diary in NG+.

Lumines Arise out now, $35.99 on Steam (10% off launch discount) buff.ly/EVvaMXv
$39.99 US PSN buff.ly/H7Ut3jc

My quick impressions: Enjoying it overall with the Tetris Effect flavor, challenge mode levels has interesting varied mechanics (one level only drops pieces on the music beat)

I put BoTW on my 10 games to get to know me, so this is absolutely insane, but I voice Cadlan in the English version of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment ⚔️🐟

To voice a canon playable character is a dream come true for a longtime Zelda fan like me 🥹 I hope you enjoy him!

It’s a bit hard for me to put into words just how very much this project meant to me, but if you know me at all, you probably understand. Echoing Jon’s sentiments below in expressing big love and gratitude to everyone involved. This game is genuinely a blast and I hope you’ll check it out! 💚

I voice the brave Korok warrior CALAMO in HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. This character was an absolute joy to play, and it was really cool to get to be a part of a Zelda game. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.

Last month at PRGE, we held a reunion panel with Nintendo employees who launched the NES. Hear from Bruce Lowry, Gail Tilden, and Lance Barr about how the scrappy staff at NOA defied all odds and released one of the most iconic game systems ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WDfsiLiRA
