My family is so damn creative with their birthday gifts.

#2 - an AI-generated art print of my Ford Mustang with my dog, Delta, and my cat, Saturn.
#3 - a Dachshund version of Vincent van Gogh’s “Starry Night”.

I think this is a good thing. Microsoft has shown a willingness to properly invest in games properties in a way that Activision hasn't.

Saturday Night Live and Colbert are missing out on some truly epic content this month, because the writer’s strike hasn’t been settled.

Also, on the point of the storm - does anyone realize how big a fucking bullet we dodged as a country? It was an EF-4 tornado, with winds topping 275kmph.
It carved a perfect path between two communities - a little north, or a little south, and it could've killed hundreds.

And there was no way for us to figure out exactly where, or how destructive it was, because all our primary sources of information were "rate-limited".
So if we can't get information from the website, when it's literally part of our job, how will anyone else?

I think it'll be a trickle-down effect. From the perspective of using Twitter as a newsroom tool to find the fastest information, it's completely degraded to basically being useless. Last weekend, being a perfect example - the tornado in AB.
We knew there was a storm. But we didn't know how bad.

Will newsrooms and journalists stay on Twitter as it keeps deteriorating?

So I finally watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves last night.
What an excellent movie. Can we have more AAA studio movies that take game / fantasy titles seriously?
D&D is fantastic. Uncharted was… OK? The Warcraft movie was.. 👀 - fun to see Stormwind in CGI, I guess?

Hello, friends.
I've made the long, arduous journey to the new 'cool' app.
I talk about daily news, video games, and (usually) what cute thing my dog did today. Here's a pic of him and my best friend being adorable!

I'm also super into anything sci-fi related; books, movies, games, shows, you name it. I'm a rabid fan of The Expanse franchise, and I'm currently writing my first novel, set in an far future where humanity has colonized our solar system - but with a twist!

I'm new to the gaming industry after spending five years in broadcast news, working as a journalist for CTV News! But, video games are my passion.
I love everything about MMO's - World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Warframe, etc. - but any game with an amazing storyline is my jam.
