A newsletter that isn't about games but sometimes its about games.
send-news.beehiiv.com
Trying to take this energy, frustration, and fear and channel it into something productive. This newsletter is a (mostly) weekly respite from a lot of the bad, a place to talk openly about struggle but also celebrate wins and the goofier side of my brain. Almost at 150 subscribers. Help me get there

In Super Mario Sunshine, Bowser Jr's paintbrush was made by E.Gadd, making him a war criminal. Over the years it's been changed to be a Bowser Jr logo. The rehabilitation of E.Gadd's image continues with the newest trailer

I will be in L.A. adjacent to The Game Awards (for different reasons). Do you want to show me your game for coverage on Restart? Or just for the hell of it? Got a preview event? A mixer? A spare hour with nothing to do?
Let me know and we can figure something out!

My new favorite meaningless beef on the internet is the Shroud clip going around of him saying that everyone needs to vote for Arc Raiders for GOTY.
"Do not let that Expedition game win GOTY"
The beef that has ensued will rot your brain to its core
