I'm happy to announce that I have just signed on to a new position at EA, working on the new Battlefield game. I'm super excited to be back working on a multiplayer shooter once again.
Who's getting hyped for Battlefield 6?

PSA: if you’re playing Borderlands 4 on a console and are constantly battling the software cursor, do yourself a favor and increase the cursor friction and reduce the speed in the options. You can thank me later. 😀

Hey UI/UX friends - What is an AI tool you have found to be super useful in your work?

This is a double punch to the gut since several of us worked on both of these. Monolith and Cliffhanger were both game studios in Kirkland, WA that were shut down this year.
I was so sure that the cancelled Wonder Woman game was going to live on as the Black Panther game, but with Cliffhanger shut down, I guess it's officially dead :/

Was Monolith’s Original Plan for Wonder Woman Retooled for EA’s Black Panther Game?
Could the Black Panther game from EA be reusing elements from Monolith's cancelled Wonder Woman game?

It was an amazing team with incredible talent, and that's not hyperbole. I was frequently awestruck by the work from my fellow GOATS.
In addition to closing Cliffhanger and canceling Black Panther, EA is also laying off some individuals on both its mobile and central teams. bit.ly/3T2OmFn

This little lady is often in my back yard. Sometimes with cute little baby bunnies. I think she lives under the tool shed. Tonight I decided to call her Mary Hoppins.

t’s not often we can actually see an eclipse when it happens here in the PNW, but the clouds parted long enough for me to snap this.

Here's a little something pretty safe to share from my previous tenure at Monolith. In addition to designing the logo we saw in the Wonder Woman trailer, I also designed this icon for use in the game. The negative space made by the star creates the second W.

Wow. This really sucks for all my former colleagues there. We have 11 openings we're looking to fill here in Kirkland. Feel free to reach out directly to me.

Yes, I just bought tickets for Captain America before the **suspiciously delayed** reviews have started coming in, because I live life with reckless abandon.

Didn’t expect to wake up to a major snowfall this morning, so what can I do but sit by a fire and a hot cocoa in my favorite mug?

It kills me that the possessive form of "it" is not "it's" whenever I type it.

Loving what I see from the Fantastic 4 trailer. A fresh, baggage-free start was desperately needed since all other MCU films released in the last few years have felt like offshoot side stories of the Avengers arc.

I'll say it again, since it came up today in conversation. Splinter Cell's Spies vs. Mercs game mode is S tier and it's a crime that no games in the last 10 years have recreated anything like it.
