Popping in to share my EXP Talk with Psychgeist - you can find other interesting and fun talks on the YouTube channel as well! This one is based on my chapter in the Dragon Age book, but there are other talks available on The Last of Us and The Witcher, with more being added!

Very excited to share that my edited book on Dragon Age is now available! Thanks so much to @drkowert.bsky.social for her work and support on this and to my authors for their fantastic contributions!

@ghildirthalen.bsky.social Hello! You don't know me, but I'm a fan and scholar who has done (maybe too much) work re: Dragon Age. I have a project right now that I'm interested in reaching out to you about, but wasn't sure how to contact you. Let me know if you might be interested in chatting!

Anyone who studies/writes enjoying Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Have anything to say about it? Get in touch!

New article now available! Looking at romance and comparing the approaches/possibilities (and player experiences) across the Dragon Age series and Baldur's Gate 3. revistas.ulusofona.pt/index.php/ij...

I had a fantastic time at my first Antiquity in Media Studies conference (and a lot of fun talking about The Forgotten City and Baldur's Gate 3 yesterday). Thanks so much to the organizers for drawing together so many wonderful scholars and projects! #AIMS2024

I had a wonderful time listening to engaging approaches to teaching about antiquities and talking about God of War and Hades for the Pedagogy Potluck at #AIMS2024 this morning!

Too many people have told me they missed out on an academic event (CfPs) because they didn’t know about it (I have too!). 😢

No more FOMO! Here’s the beginning of a small spreadsheet database: docs.google.com/spreadsheets.... 📝

Let’s start with game studies. 🎮👾 Ping me for edits.

Romance is a big deal for a lot of players. This article checks out some of these romantic dynamics in games like the new Dragon Age title The Veilguard (and I'm also briefly quoted in it)!

Woo! It's FINALLY live!! czasopisma.uni.lodz.pl/Replay/artic...

The collection is growing....

...new book announcement SOON!

Learn more about the collection here:

Probably about time to update socials. I'll be starting as a new Assistant Professor of Games and Esports at ASU next month!

Looking forward to the release of this collection in September! So many fantastic chapters on regional, historical, and cultural representations in video games. (And it includes my chapter on representations of Iraq in House of Ashes!)

So thrilled that this is available now! Thanks to the editors and other authors. This is a great collection (and may also feature a chapter by me on using Dragon Age in the classroom). The book is incredible and worth a look!

Hello! Looks like I get to try to find everyone on a new platform now 🤔
