On January 18, 1982, I joined Atari’s arcade division. I’d dreamed of making games, and they were willing to give me a chance. What a day :-). Today being January 18, 2022, I have somehow reached my 40th anniversary in games. SO thankful, it’s been quite the journey!.

Got it! #Returnal #Platinumtrophy. My favorite moment: when I stopped running from the enemies and started hunting THEM down instead :-)

WOW, what an adrenaline rush! Thank you Chad Jared Maja @StudioMDHR for letting me finish out my PS4 journey in style. Thankfully I've got two weeks to recover my strength before #PS5 hits!

Our solution to our very active two gamer PS5 household? His-and-hers SSDs :-). Couple of awesome options for 7000MB/s, ended up putting my $$ down on this one. Going to be SWEEET!!!

Cerny Games turns 25 today. Never thought it would last so long, or to take me to such interesting places -- 22 games across all five PlayStations, including a few I (somehow) had a hand in designing. Thank you @insomniacgames @Naughty_dog and @PlayStation for the good times!

Embarrassingly late playing this game but so glad I finally found the time, fell in love with Aloy and her world. Thank you @Guerrilla for bringing this to life!

Not too much happening on the Platinum front as Slay the Spire has taken me three months -- my very first roguelike deckbuilder!. Fun but SO much to learn, thank you @baalorlord for the strategy videos :-)

Drinks with Shawn Layden, my localization producer in the Jak and Crash era. He's certainly done well for himself!

@JamesStevenson @JasmesSteveson I agree 100% wholeheartedly with this. but I believe my point was a bit different. Whether it's 60 metacritic or 90, there's ALWAYS takeaways that help me with design of whatever game I'm next involved with. So respect the effort. and learn from it.
