A couple of months ago, I put out an ask to talk to some of the people who worked on Inside Out 2 and were affected by the Pixar layoffs. I got that, but also a whole lot more.

If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been on here much as of late and have largely migrated to the Sky site. Asted over there for all my shitposting and dog photos 🫡

Whenever someone hops on a Zoom meeting and is like “Sorry I look like such a mess, haven’t had my coffee!” or like”Please excuse the lighting!” it’s like….babe….I’m physically incapable of not staring at my own reflection for this entire meeting. You don’t even exist to me

A journalistic rockstar, @a_sted for @IGN with a comprehensive analysis with opinions from several experts as to why #JokerFolieADeux failed to connect with audiences this past weekend - ign.com/articles/joker-2s-op… - “For any film to be successful, there must be at least one camp that supports it and whether that’s moviegoers or critics, you need at least one of those groups to get on board, spread the positive word, build word-of-mouth and power long-term potential for solid box office returns,” says Paul Dergarabedian, Senior Media Analyst with @Comscore. “Unfortunately for #Joker: Folie à Deux, a one-two punch of both negative reviews and moviegoer indifference created monumental headwinds for the big-budget high-profile sequel.” #JokerMovie #Joker2 @jokermovie @wbpictures @WB @csMoviesUS @CSGlobalMovies

A grim irony will be Joker: Folie à Deux essentially selling fewer tickets on its opening weekend than Birds of Prey ($33 million in 2020/$39 million adjusted for inflation) on around 2.3x the budget...

Really sorry to hear the news about @totalfilm. A sharp, funny, passionate film magazine that I read long before I started working at Empire. Despite our being in competition, we’ve always admired (and yes, sometimes envied) their scoops, coups and excellent writing. It’s a sad day for film fans.
One of my favorite parts of this character is that he so clearly fits the bill of “high-level NPC the DM gives the party because he realized that dungeon was a little bit too hard, but then he just ends up being everyone’s favorite.” HAT just gets D&D, man.

My final piece for the Dragon Age: The Veilguard IGN First was also my favorite to write. It is MEATY - world state choices, Rook info, lore bits, and yes, a little Inquisitor tease. Got kinda buried under an avalanche of news this AM, but I hope you read! ign.com/articles/how-dragon-…
And one more round of applause for @JulesRago's INCREDIBLE illustrations throughout the entire IGN First! Look at my boyfriend
Imagine just enjoying video games sometimes. Can you imagine that. Just finding joy. From video games. What if

After our exclusive first preview of Dragon Age: The Veilguard last week, we've got a SECOND preview (by a different person) focusing on the deep character creator and the combat.
I also played at this event & was VERY impressed. Read on (or watch)! ign.com/articles/dragon-age-…
And the exclusive hands-on preview for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is here! The TLDR: I'm a happy Dragon Age sicko.

SO glad we got to send my fellow Dragon Age sicko Alyssa to the preview! Go read/watch her thoughts! (And yes, the character creator, also important)
Good morning!!! I previewed #DragonAgeTheVeilguard and these are my thoughts on combat and its character creator which is INSANE. It’s so much fun to play with, with incredible versatility. I made my Rook a Mourn Watch cutie 🫶🏼 check it out:

Also want to give a quick shoutout to @AmandaFlagg for the illustration in the thumbnail! It captures the tone of the piece in a way that kind of blew me away, and I will never not be incredibly impressed with the artists we have on staff.
