After 22 years of AA game dev at Splash Damage I'm now available for narrative design director roles, either remote with a UK time zone overlap, or in places commutable from South-East London. In the meantime I'm available for consulting and freelance ND and #GameWriting.

The timeline has officially dissolved into full-scale, late-night internet hallucination. Tommy Robinson has spent the last 48 hours in a state of absolute, frantic hyper-uploading, flooding X with "exclusive, terrifying" footage of the student protests in France. He is

Apparently I made this while learning to do project risk logs.
It's advice I've taken to heart, and am offering to you, now, free, for no charge.

Confession 1: "Did I leave the gas on?" is stolen entirely from Nathan Fillion's guide to acting in a soap opera in the last scene before the ad break where you don't have any lines to cover the music swelling: youtube.com/watch?v=9-RYVR…
I mean, it's certainly a lot more helpful than this,

Work stuff reminded me of what was by quite some distance the weirdest/dumbest thing we did with the Dirty Bomb Jackal Commander character: letting the community request custom soundboard VO lines.

Unfortunately, I am one of the people affected by the layoffs today at Epic. I'm absolutely devastated to leave behind so many amazing Mediatonic colleagues who I loved.
So: the job search begins! If you need an experienced writer or narrative designer, please get in touch :)

Please help this chap with his poll
Having had my own WHITE commonwealth educated self supporting Daughter (and Granddaughter) denied UK immigration status I have a SERIOUS problem with the hundreds of thousands of BOGUS asylum seekers being allowed in by the @Conservatives when everybody knows/suspects by far the majority are BOGUS masquerading as economic migrants.
Let's tell @RishiSunak @SuellaBraverman @RobertJenrick Just how inept we really think they are! Please RT for large poll, it's important to me.
Do you think most of the young undocumented men streaming off the dinghy's down Dover way are genuine asylum seekers (or do you think most are illegal economic migrants that if were to use legal channels would be denied like my daughter)
BTW my daughter and family now live in Holland and her business today employs at least 10 people!
BTW my BRITISH heritage goes way back to Napoleon's day when the family eventually left the UK for the new British colony in South Africa in the Cape in 1800's
My family was denied immigration but this lot are waved on by? It's a travesty and Sunak does not appear to mind apart from the many platitudes IMO
Poll question: In your opinion are most genuine asylum seekers or are they chancer's?

The Dorries resignation letter has made me wonder: if the Tories of 2019 hate the Tories of 2023, why should anyone else in the country like the Tories of 2023 enough to vote for them?

A 5th place loser of a swimming competition posted the name of the librarian, the location, and their phone number and hours later the library got a bomb threat.

Beyond Nadine Dorries’ long overdue resignation letter being both self-glorifying and self-pitying, it is the perfect example of the current Conservative Party’s ills: blindly furious, lashing out at everything in sight, including the Conservative Party itself.
