    Attention Humans! I am making a game with my friends where you play as a robot intern at a space newspaper. You fly around to different planets interviewing aliens and making friends (or more) with your crew. There's a demo you can play now actually: store.steampowered.com/app/883230/Tim…

    In Finland, sometimes people joke that mozzarella is Moomin meat and if you eat mozzarella you're eating Moomin.

    Super stressed and the only thing that helps is gifs of retro tech from anime: a thread

    My dad sometimes plays around with weird video editing software and he just sent me this with the message: "Just created an Intro Video that you could use to promote your Speed Dating game...If you want it... Even has scary sound......... Scary....Oooooo ?!" I love my dad.

    If Ubisoft ever asked me to make my own Farcry game, I would build a giant island with nothing but cute dogs on it where players could go to cry because life is hard sometimes and it's okay to feel things.

    Oh hey. You know what book I wrote? This book about BioWare. I talked to more than 60 devs past and present including the Drs and we got into the plans/documentation for unreleased stuff like Jade Empire 2 and the spy RPG Agent. Anyway, it was an emotional time writing it. K bye.

    So. Hey, if anyone's looking for a writer/narrative designer with kind of an absurd amount of experience, I'm available.

    Replying to @bengelinas
    Things that I have learned because of this tweet: - Some Finns instead/also say that cottage cheese is ground Moomin. - Swedes sometimes call haloumi fried Moomin. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to have a glass of milk and some plain Greek yogurt.

    I don't tweet much about Dragon Age these days, but I just need to say: Wynne is an underrated character.

    News: After a bajillion great years at BioWare, I'm quitting my job, selling my place & moving to Toronto to make my own weird little game.

    Don't usually do this but I've seen tweets with 1,000s of likes stating the Dragon Age: Inquisition writing team is no longer at BioWare. This is wrong. Six of the eight credited writers on Inquisition are still there, including @PatrickWeekes.

    There’s a wild storm in Calgary tonight and I filmed some lightning with the slow motion setting on my iPhone and… um…
