Today I joined Epic Games as Lead Gameplay Animator on Fortnite. I will be working with the team on Ballistic, a new first-person mode currently in early access. Here is a look back at some of my work over the past 5 years.

I am incredibly hyped for the new Superman movie which seems to bring back joy and wonder to the character. James Gunn appears to be prioritizing actor chemistry and fun. Can’t wait!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I just want to make clear that I am joining as A Lead Gameplay Animator not THE Lead Gameplay animator on Fortnite. I’m fortunate to be joining a very strong team!

I picked up a Quest 3 today. Any game recommendations (aside from Beat Saber which I already have)?

Was super proud of this wall. Airsofts plus a GoPro held upside down by my teeth was a game changer for my viewmodel animation process.

So incredibly sad. Paskhis work on GroovyMiSTer was inspired. Able to shuttle video, audio from a PC to MiSTer and control inputs from MiSTer to PC via Ethernet with no lag detected. Brilliant work, brilliant man, major loss.
I'm devastated to learn that Psakhis, the brilliant developer of the Groovy_MiSTer project and my partner on MiSTerCast, has passed away. His contributions to the MiSTer project and retro gaming have had a massive impact and saying he will be missed is an understatement.
