Cutscenes arenโt often spotlighted by critics, so I wanted to take a moment to share praise on #DiabloIV Lord of Hatredโs cinematic storytelling in the campaign.
โค๏ธ to the talented Diablo and Cinematic teams who collaborated on these memorable scenes.
Donโt skip the cutscenes!

I am looking for production opportunities for narrative-driven games with experience producing PVE missions!
I drove production for Overwatch 2โs story missions: youtu.be/g6ZnooQhgnc?si=IK_lโฆ
And the Underworld event mission: youtu.be/0g0Zj6FOOlo?si=92_qโฆ

My heart is so heavy for the great people at @Blizzard_Ent in light of these devastating layoffs. To those affected, Iโm so sorry. To those friends I worked with, thank-you. Iโm sending you love and strength. Massive profits and brutal cuts. Somethingโs wrong with this picture.

Friends, I was fortunate enough to receive a very nice winged Emmy accolade figurine last night for my work as Bill in @TheLastofUsHBO written by the indomitable @clmazin
Itโs hard to fully swallow because the role was in an inseparable partnership with the magnificent #MurrayBartlett so I wish they had 2 trophies to give. Without Frank, Bill ainโt shit.
Anyway, hereโs my speech.

Iโm on @ThisAmerLife this week with a story about whether my Grandma kidnapped me or not (she did)
.@AtsukoComedy moved suddenly from Japan to the U.S. when she was eight years old, and has long joked that it was because her grandmother kidnapped her from her dad. But she'd never talked to anyone in her family about what had actually happened. bit.ly/3ZzLK4s

Go Mecha Ball is full of things that I learnt from working on games like Nuclear Throne, Downwell, ScourgeBringer, Atomicrops, Cult of the Lamb,Tormentor X Punisher, Badland, Bleed 2, Noita and so on. I really hope the reactive soundscape is to your liking!

All of us poured our hearts into creating Illari's backstory. Massive thank you to Blizzard SFD for their amazing work introducing Illari's past in this beautiful piece, and big ups to @shesandre for her stunning performance. Best team ever!๐งก
The rest of the house is asleep, Iโm still up joyscrolling OW2 Season 6 stuff, feeling lucky and grateful for my small part in it all, gushing, chucklingโฆ
But the dog just sighed from his bed as to say โgo to bed dudeโ - you win this round bud ๐คฉ๐ด

I'm super excited to FINALLY announce the voice of Illari: @shesandre! We prioritized finding a Peruvian voice actress who could speak Quechua and it was 100% worth the effort. Thank you for bringing Illari to life Andre, you're incredible! WELCOME TO THE OVERWATCH FAMILY!!๐งกโ๏ธ

Today's the day. The @PlayOverwatch team & SFD worked really hard to bring you something special. I'll talk more about it later but for now, see you on the other side. Enjoy! #overwatch

So many talented people poured their hearts into making Season 6 happen.
I was lucky enough to be hired from home 3 years ago to lend my hand in the effort! Tomorrow!! ๐๐คฉ
I started on this @PlayOverwatch journey over 3 years ago just before the pandemic and some of the first cinematics I helped make are finally about to go live tomorrow!
