Wow. So many new friends! Did I end up on a list!?!
Hey, I’m Jordan! Mostly a dad and a writer working on his first book. Working on a solo game dev journey in some free time.
I like to learn and be creative more than finish things, I think! But I also love to champion indie art/movies/games et al

I still want Wreckreation to grow and become the true Paradise successor it deserves to be, I just don't see how that happens if no one hops on board in its current state.
Wreckreation PC review - "An arcade racer that is scaled back in many ways, and expanded in others." | Hooked Gamers
We played Wreckreation - Tight driving, with good looking crashes, that is unlike contemporary racers, and that's before building tracks and creating bespoke events. Dated design, in many ways, which ...

My only requirement for trading Garrett to the Eagles is that they also find a way to take Watson's bill, too.

I was helping (from above) a fellow (arc) raider, who was being harassed by two Hornets, get to the lift. A 3rd player thought that was a good time to shoot me in the back. When I got away I pleaded for them to stop shooting, and was promptly ignored. I won, and player two got home safe. Vvvvictory.

I really hate that they turned Scream into a franchise I now have to begrudgingly watch without giving them my money. I am conversely very excited for the Wayans resurgence and Scary Movie 6.

Digging the visual style. At least it should have a better roster for the Cavs than Anderson Varejao, Antwan Jamison, and Mo Williams. 2010 was a hell of a time.

Writing this story verbatim as a script would be too devoid of any relationship to the real world to sell to even SyFy. Responding with the lyrics of Trapped In The Closet would have been less unhinged.
I reached out to The White House and asked about its use of AI-generated Halo imagery. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai just responded to me, and it's insane.

and Roger is one of the hardest games I've ever finished. I really wanted to bow out in the first chapter, but I'm ultimately glad I saw it through, and allowed it to join the fairly small list of games that brought me to tears. Games are art, eh?

Comedy isn't dead, it just shifted into "AI games." This is the funniest video I have ever seen.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

If anyone who was laid off from TheGamer today has a piece they were working on and need a home for, Skybox wants to hear from you, and we pay pretty well.
We can't make up for you being laid off, but we'll do what we can.

Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.
Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.
