Thank you for your service to the Vietnamese community Alex ♥️
ppl asked for an example on my last tweet so here’s my quick take on a character with a thick VIETNAMESE ACCENT excitedly talkin about his favorite video game
as a native who spent his entire childhood there i had to add the most crucial element: traffic & moped sounds 🇻🇳

A real cinema-goer has a preferred seat and a general location they like to hover near if their seat is taken. This is an app for people who watch one movie a year in a theater.

Been playing Soulframe this weekend and it’s got a strong foundation. Warframe wasn’t quite my tempo and I’ve been looking forward to this for a few years now. Safe to say I’m impressed with the current offerings. It’s met my expectations and I think it’s my speed.

There is an incredible amount of humanity, soul and kindness on display. A beautiful exploration of faith, family and the lengths someone will go to provide. What budges more and what allows for that variance, is it your morality or your faith? 10/10.
Latif’s faith keeps him moving but his family keeps him alive. The film creeps at a steady pace, offering human emotions as the catalyst for the narrative. It quietly moves along from one need to another need. Ali conveys an astounding amount with very little speech.

A dream come true tonight I was able to get a hold of the mic and tell @vincestaples a story I’ve been holding onto for nearly a decade. It meant a lot to me and his music means a lot to me so I really appreciate him taking the time out of his set to listen to it. You’re my GOAT.
I truly hope that Arkane gets this released. I’m positive it’ll be a banger for the ages.
New report on the ‘Blade’ game 🎮
• Arkane has until Nov 13 to find a buyer, with several potential takeover options under consideration
• Development on ‘Blade’ is ‘nearing the end’ of production
• One rep says it ‘would be a monumental waste’ if the game never gets released

Reading the gameplay style of Mass Effect Universe and seeing First Light this year, it has dawned on me the real influence of Watch Dogs on the games industry.

Another massive “what if” that is added to the already long list that will be lost to the ages.
I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.
Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.
• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch
From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.
