Nice to meet you! I'm a midwestern guy who writes fiction, runs and plays TTRPGs, and even runs a YouTube channel where I play video games (sometimes with my wife).

I’m very excited to be able to walk through another one of my favorite games of all time with you! My Oblivion Remastered playthrough has begun and I’d love to have you along for the ride. Let me know what you think!

Listen, I'm loving the fan reactions to #Andor and the renewed push to #MakeBattlefront3. But while we're waiting for that to happen, check out the slept-on #StarWarsOutlaws. It's such a good time!

#Andor is a generational gift of a show, prestige television for #StarWars fans. What a run.

I can't believe I get #Andor S2 and #OblivionRemastered on the same day. What a glorious day to be alive! I feel like I'm 16 again.

I know I'm behind, but I just finished #ACMirage! It was a great story that was told at a decent pace, and it was refreshing to not have a bloated, overinflated open-world game for a change.

This has been a long time coming. Watch me jump into #SonicAdventure2 completely blind, with Kelsey (who has played it several times) sits in the copilot seat!

This is my first #CriticalRole campaign and it's bittersweet to see it end! I'm not sure I'm emotionally prepared for the finale, which is longer than I spend working each day.

I haven't posted anything in a while. Here's some pictures of Tali enjoying the winter weather!

Lately I've been sketching out what I think the thumbnails should look like for our videos before we take the photos. For example, here's my sketches and the final product for our latest #MovingOut2 gameplays! 😆

@frostforge.bsky.social and I are going live in Mass Effect to kick off our yearlong #ExtraLife fundraiser! The twist: Kelsey has no idea what mods I loaded into it. Come join us, it's for a good cause!

This Friday, Kelsey and I are kicking off our year-long fundraising effort for #ExtraLife with a livestream over on our new channel! Come see as my wife plays #MassEffect with a variety of mods that I have not told her about, all while we raise money for children’s hospitals. Hope to see you there!

Kelsey and I made a podcast and the first episode is out NOW! You can catch it wherever you find your podcasts under “The Couple That Pods Together,” or you can head over and give it a listen on YouTube on our brand new channel!

Over the last few years, @frostforge.bsky.social and I have made a few videos over on my YouTube channel and they’ve been some of the best things I’ve made. We’ve been hard at work and are proud to officially introduce The Couple That Slays Together channel!

Catching up on #SkeletonCrew and man... I was worried that Neel would end up being just a sidekick, but he's just as fully developed as the rest of the kids. This show is pretty fun so far! #NeelNation

#TheGameAwards took several big steps in the right direction this year. It's great that no one got played off and the Game Changer award was fantastic! Still wish we had more time with awards instead of rushing through them. Congrats to #AstroBot on the huge win!

Tali might be the only one enjoying this snow squall. Unfortunately, she is cursed with human parents who don't like to play in the snow all day with her.

Oh, for those that don't know on #Bluesky, I have a rescue dog named Tali. Here are some pictures of her!

Just finished #Arcane. It will be on my mind for a long time to come, what a piece of art.

I'm not sure I agree with Geoff that #TheGameAwards should partially be about announcements. I feel this takes away from celebrating the accomplishments of the past year and the hard work the developers have put in. No one is premiering trailers at the #Oscars.

Late to the game, but just started #Shogun. Such a great pilot episode, I can't wait to dig into this!
