Hi, I'm Matt. You might've seen my name in games like Trails through Daybreak or even Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (and maybe Trails to Azure.) I'm a freelance localization editor with a passion for so many different pieces of media that I'd be here all day listing them all.

Hope we can be friends!

A good friend of mine had their Switch and all games (among other things) stolen from their car. They still have the cases, just not any of the cartridges. If anyone is selling these games for cheap by chance, please let me know! Again, only the carts are needed. Not having a box is totally fine.

Been working on a video about Metal Gear Solid Delta since it's release but just now getting around to seriously trying to get it done and man, I had a lot of fun with it but damn is FOX Hunt gonna be dead in six months with no cross-platform play! Also wish they didn't just color within the lines.

Glad to see the Dodgers paid 900 million to give us all heart palpitations on a Saturday night.

This was my first Halloween living in a bigger area and the scariest thing of all was being in a home, in the dark, all by yourself and seeing hordes of children walking by. I kept thinking they were gonna ring the doorbell and demand candy I do not have.

Ninja Gaiden 4 rocks and that makes me happy. I just love some good-ass action games.

If you haven't heard from me in the last few weeks, I'm not dead or ignoring you it's actually because I've been putting 50 hours a week into Deadlock relentlessly because they added a hot vampire lady that I've gotten really good with.

Today I lost someone who was truly like a brother to me. I am gutted to the core. I guess I can say so now that it's on his Facebook page. He even listed himself as my actual brother on Facebook. Anyone who knows me knows how close we were. RIP, senpai. You will always be a ninja.

Happy Ys vs. Trails in the Sky day!! I loved the brief period I QA tested it in the Geofront and to see it come out officially was neat. I got to participate a bit in the console network test for the release and it's superb. Refint did an awesome job.

Today I'm playing Urban Reign! An underloved, tough as nails PS2 beat-em-up which beat-me-down, over and over again. And it's amazing. Join Brad Hawk on the hardest 100 fights of his life to save a city he doesn't seem all that invested in.

Reposts appreciated, hope you enjoy! youtu.be/cBEuaOYPYwA

This is awful. I didn't know Andrew Dice very well but from my brief interactions with him, he was a swell guy. We worked on Trails through Daybreak together and I'm just at a loss for words. His work on not just Daybreak but other titles was wonderful. The world's lost a great individual.
Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.
