So thrilled to make my @empiremagazine.bsky.social debut profiling action movie legend Jan de Bont across 6 action-packed pages. We spent 3 hours together talking Speed, Godzilla movies, making L.A. think it was at war, meeting Stanley Kubrick and much more - grab the summer issue today!

For IGN, I ran the numbers (a lot of numbers) to understand whether the console war is still something that's raging on, or if it's just an echo of gaming's past, long overshadowed by a far greater threat.

If you like that freaky, surreal and unsettling feeling analog-adjacent horror gives, then... watch Kim Kardashian's music video for Santa Baby? It's brilliantly devised from directors from Nadia Lee Cohen & Charlie Denis - i was genuinely glued to my phone the entire time.

My @ign.com debut has been gaining a little bit of traction, so just wanted to share it here.

In my opinion, the way AAA studios handle this industry-wide crisis over the next few years will likely decide how the next decade goes. #gaming
