Lead Tools Engineer on the WoW team at Blizzard. Previously worked on Fable at Lionhead. This is my personal account, and so nothing I say should be considered as from Blizzard!
I’m late to the party on this, but the song “Hi Ren” is incredible. It’s unlike anything else I’ve heard, and is a frank and vulnerable exploration of mental health challenges. Shocking and uplifting. youtu.be/s_nc1IVoMxc?...

Finally deleted my Facebook account. A shame that it and Twitter went the way they did, but just like when I deleted my Twitter account I don’t have even a twinge of regret in the decision.

*Really* loved the Gavin and Stacey finale. What a perfect end to a truly wonderful show. Awesome cast, beautiful writing, and all around lovely, heartwarming, and hilarious. 🥰 #GavinAndStacey

I just want to say something real quick: I love WoW. I *really* love it. I love it so much I moved 5,452 miles to work at Blizzard, and I still love it today after nearly a decade working on it. ❤️ #warcraft

I love Gorak's Guide, and this celebration of the fresh hardcore Classic realms is a great one. 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-5x...

Anyone else have a really hard time thinking of gift ideas for others to get you? 😵‍💫

Every time I make a #wowclassic character I think “I should make this one a pure gatherer so I won’t have any money issues,” but then I never do because I love making stuff in the game too much.

My wife captured this terrifying moment at the Santa Monica Pier when a giant seagull attacked beach goers (unedited photo).

Next time one of my friends asks me about warhammer I might just show them this video from @charalanahzard.bsky.social

This is a very good primer for those warhammer-curious.

As usual I’m taking it slow. My mage is now level 14, adventuring in Darkshore. No mage trainers in sight, though, so will be a little bit before I get my level 14 spells. Wish the night elves would relax on using arcane magic for little old me. #wowclassic #Warcraft

Also really liking an addon called AutoBiographer (another one I’ve not used before). It appeals to my super nerdy side to know how much gold I got from looting vs quests vs vendors. 🤓 #warcraft

I’m really enjoying my little mage in WoW Classic Classic. ☺️ I’m doing something I’ve not done before - using an addon called GuideLime to tell me what to do. I’m hoping it’ll help me through the tyranny of choice as you get into the high 20s and beyond where there’s no “correct” place to level.

Well, after saying all that I played some more mage tonight and had so much fun I’m thinking maybe I’ll go with mage after all! Tailoring/enchanting too cliché? 🙃

With the 20th anniversary of WoW and Warcraft’s 30th anniversary, I’m feeling very nostalgic about my time in this wonderful world. I fell in love with Warcraft 2 pretty much instantly, and after the incredible Warcraft 3 and The Frozen Throne expansion I knew WoW was going to be big.
