Made lotsa games, co-owner of two restaurants, investor, Broadway producer, AUTHOR! Control Freak is out now! So is my comic SCRAPPER!
Making this up as I go.
Well, here it is. First joke TANKED but as the set went on I think I started to win the crowd over.
Just like making games, comedy = iteration. Consider this my beta. Oh, NSFW.
Pisses me off that people say Gears went "wOkE".
These culture wars are out of control. If Gears 3 came out today they'd say the same thing about it - the cast was diverse AF and we had strong non-sexualized female soldiers.
GTFO with that stuff.
Gears of War was released 16 years ago today and to mark the occasion, Netflix has partnered with The Coalition to adapt the
@GearsofWar
video game saga into a live action feature film, followed by an adult animated series — with the potential for more stories to follow!
I respect the hell out of content creators - it's hard work - but looking at the numbers from the Twitch leak NGL it upsets me that so many are making WAY more money than most of the GAME DEVELOPERS THAT MADE THE GAMES THEY STREAM.
You know, in hindsight, making 3 videogames in which a guy blows his own head off, another guy has to put his vegetable wife down, and said guy offs himself to save his friends, and our hero watches his father turn to dust in front of him was pretty ballsy.
Update:
My friend who has his own studio and is interested in a revival of LawBreakers has my LA lawyer on retainer to negotiate with Nexon for it.
Stay tuned.
Well,

went from not having a ton of hype, to getting a great reception, and, just like that, the army of people trying to look cool/edgy saying they don't like it showed up right on time.
Feels like that evergreen cycle of popularity is becoming ever more compressed.

Because dragons will always be awesome.
Sigh. My dragon pitch will always have a special place in my heart. I hope a dragon game comes out, crushes it, and proves all the pubs wrong.
Still kinda mad about that IGN stuff. I feel like the corner of the internet that hates my guts is because of gaming press that would twist my quotes for rage clickbait.
Been happening for decades and I'm just...tired of it.
10 years ago I was in Times Square for the Gears 3 launch and ordered a bunch of pizzas for the fans waiting in line for the event.
It was a good ol' time.
I’ll always miss the original gears days. Literally some of my favorite times in life playing that game.
I know I’ve said this before.. but every so often I gotta say it again.
Thanks

Real talk, so Blizzard is renaming McCree bc he was apparently named after one of their employees that's allegedly involved in the mess going on, right?
I always thought he had that name because
I watched the trailer for Quake remastered and, man, I still want Unreal 1 remastered.
That was my last request when I did my exit speech at Epic. There was a lot of magic in that game, darnit!
Easier said than done

Core gameplay in God of War was outdated, Gears of War FPP form is still used in modern games… if I would change one aspect in franchise I would lean towards survival horror with limited ammo and some psychological trauma…

. It's exactly what I've been waiting for.
I'm tired of zombies, armies, elves, orcs, all of it.
Comedy is hard. Comedy in interactive? 10x harder. Few studios can do this stuff.
And, above all, it's fuckin' fun.
More later.
Somehow LawBreakers is coming back, see below!!!

Man, feels like everyone's breaking up/getting divorced these days.
Marriage/relationships are work.
Ima eat Lauren's ass with extra enthusiasm tonight in a show of solidarity.
I'm not trying to nitpick but this stuff annoys me so much.
I trust that the Coalition is working their butts off on Gears but SERIOUSLY this camera placement is driving me INSANE.
ONCE AGAIN I'm available for consulting. FFS.
So, I beat

. Got the "secret" ending also.
What a blast, start to finish. I had no idea what was going to happen next nor did I know what these batshit characters were going to say next.
Surprisingly solid shooting, exploration, and puzzle bits too.
Loved it!
July 4th can fuck right the fuck off.
I am SO TIRED of my dog losing her shit over the locals firing off fireworks.
Literally tonight. It's literally July 1st.
Poor baby is shaking nonstop.
I wish more single player games would do the "what if" one-offs that comics have been doing for years.
Like, a DLC mission that says "what if Dom lived?" etc...
Whenever my wife streams she asks for my "approval" of her outfit and half the time I'm like "not whorish enough" because WE WANT THAT SWEET SWEET SIMP MONEY.
I have zero interest in Harry Potter. Never have, never will.
However, Hogwart's Legacy is seriously tempting me to change my mind based on what I've seen.
MY POINT is it's possible to learn to become a composer and also enjoy games. These two things are not mutually exclusive. There are plenty of successful people in entertainment that grew up and still enjoy games.
It's just such a weird/specific neg.
SO I literally had to pay $480 for a 2 minute phone call with my Beverly Hills lawyer to confirm that the guy trying to get LawBreakers revived is legit.
Again, stay tuned.
Here's the big news!
I honestly haven't been this excited since Gears 1.
This IP is surgically built to be adapted to an animated series/video game/toy line, and, most importantly, it comes from the heart - from the loss of Teddy to finding puppy love with Lady. Stay tuned!

Woke up at 9am to a loud noise, bedroom rumbling, dogs bouncing around on my head, and house alarm going off!
I go to investigate and noticed 2 trees in our backyard were struck by lightning! A camera caught it it on video.

like… whoa, right?!
