Reminder.
I'm still working on STALKER 2 in the build up to launch (yay).
If you are a creator that loves the series, narrative-rich FPS games or challenging survival-experiences please feel free to hop in my DMs.
I think people can make their own purchasing decisions when it comes to the HP game, but whatever way you justify it you’re still doing harm to the trans community. Putting money in her pocket only empowers her to keep spreading hateful rhetoric.
@BaldBreens
Elden Ring is corny, but a game where an imaginary assassin runs around with secret blades hidden up their sleeve isn't?
Make it make sense.
SURPRISE
Pine Hearts launches next month!
May 23rd on PC... AND NINTENDO SWITCH 🎉🎉
If you're press or a content creator, get at me or
@tomcopeland
for launch keys and all that other good stuff.
So, I still can’t believe I’m saying this, but from Wednesday I will be joining the
@RenaissancePRUK
team as a Content Creator Manager.
I’ve worked adjacent to Renaissance throughout most of my journalism career, so it feels like a full-circle moment tbh.
Watch this space !
Fuuuuuuuck. I’ve been offered the rental property.
This literally puts me just a few minutes from the boys and is also an entirely fresh start.
Feel like I might do a big cry, honestly.
Spent most of the day stressing about it, but I officially passed my probation with flying colours today. I'm now officially part of the
@gameifyouare
team, which is awesome because I bloody love what I do.
Go me.
So it's mine and
@JustThatJess
5th anniversary today, but we can also announce that we are now parents.
Nikolai and Olafur came a little early at 32 weeks, but they have already progressed so much and we both have SO much love for them.
Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
Guess who just officially passed their probation at
@RenaissancePRUK
.
I’ve had an absolute blast this past three months, working with amazing clients, wonderful games and one of the best teams in the industry (no bias 👀).
Honestly so happy that I get to continue doing this ❤️
Just waiting to officially start, but this is now a thing. Always wanted to do one of these videos 😂
Smiley over my birthdate because I don’t want to doxx myself.
Well that's my job offer officially signed. Starting August 31, I'll be a Marketing Coordinator. Which sadly means I'm moving away from video games. The last year has been a blast and I'll do a proper tweet closer to the time. But yeah, big things ahead I guess!
Hey new followers!
Thought I'd introduce myself formally.
I'm Thomas and I work with the Content Creator team over at
@RenaissancePRUK
. We work with developers & publishers globally to connect awesome creators with awesome games.
I'll be getting back to everyone today!
I’ve signed my contract, which means I can do the thing.
Yep, two weeks tomorrow I’ll start my day as a Campaign Manager for
@gameifyouare
.
Genuinely can not wait to get started.
Today in bullet points:
~ Got offered dream job
- Got a little bit drunk
- Played a stormer of a set at one of my favourite pubs in Birmingham
- Told a room of people to shout fuck off at any Tory that tries to debate abortion rights
Today has been a 10/10 day.
Just had a site email me about work. $5 for 300 words is a joke. How can anyone live on that sort of compensation?
What’s that after conversion? £2.80? £2.80 for fourty minutes to an hour of work depending on the story…
@GameRant
Do better.
Spent my morning talking to the project lead for
@FalloutLondon
about the upcoming Fallout mod that’s set a little closer to home that many of us are used to.
Job offer officially accepted. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and they bumped the three month temp position into a six month one, just so I’d be more likely to take it.
That’s the engagement ring sold. A sad, but important moment in moving on. Proud of myself for ever reaching that point tbh. It might not have worked out, but putting yourself out there like that is hard.
Looking for artists with a flair for colourful and bold projects. This is paid work, and will be in support of an upcoming video game.
RTs appreciated, and my DMs are open.
Hit me up with your portfolios and contact deets.
Journalists defending the £70 price point are not only unaware of their own privilege, but also lack an understanding of what it means to be on or below the breadline. Let’s not forget the fact that many journalists rarely pay for the games they want, meaning...
On
#NationalVideoGameDay
I want to thank all the hardworking developers who sacrifice their own health and time to bring us experiences that better our lives. Without their hard work, we wouldn't have the escapism that gaming provides us all.
After a wonderful year and a bit, my time at
@gameifyouare
is coming to an end.
I’ve learned so much, I’ve made lifelong friends and I’ve met the most wonderful developers.
Loving my card and
@OlafurArnalds
T-shirt from the team ❤️
P.S. I start something new next week 🤫
Well this is a thing. I’m going to be on Radio 1 tonight.
@broozeruk
’s latest single - Mutilated Paintings - will be played by the awesome
@AlyxHolcombe
.
It’s been a tough year for me. I lost my job during lockdown not long after having twins, but I found comfort in an online community watching
@FizzyJoose
’s daily Dark Souls Twitch streams.
I wrote about how helpful and supportive they’ve all been ❤️
People are absolutely loving
@pineheartsgame
so far today.
If you haven’t had a chance yet, make sure you come visit the
@HyperLuminalUK
stand at WASD!
Back in February I joined a band. My confidence in drumming was pretty shook after my previous band mate basically told me I was a shit drummer.
Less than eight months later, we just headlined one of the best venues in the midlands. I can’t explain the high I’m on right now.
This banger turned ten years old a few months ago. I can't fully express how important Pendulum were to me in discovering my own music taste as a young adult, but I will say this album still slaps.
There’s something oddly comforting about watching Peaky Blinders, the fact everyone has Birmingham and Black Country accents genuinely makes me very happy.
You don’t hear it often on TV or in films, which is a shame because it’s one of my favourite accents.
Today is the day! Formula Retro Racing: World Tour is available world wide on Steam, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. I've had a blast working alongside
@CGAStudioGames
and
@Repixel8
over the past six months, and can't wait to see people playing it!
Store links below!
Every week I test, and every week I dread getting a positive result that stops me seeing the boys. However, that isn’t this week, and I get to wake up with the boys on Christmas morning tomorrow.
Morning Twitter.
I had the chance to interview
@MegaRan
earlier this month. He's a video gaming inspired rapper that takes inspiration from the likes of Final Fantasy VII, Mega Man and even the recent Monster Hunter.
Applied for that News Writer role at PC Gamer. If you could just keep everything crossed between now and the time I potentially hear back, that would be fantastic.
Okay, someone recommended I post this. I’m a recently redundant copywriter, marketer and designer with over 5 years of experience working in marketing and 6 years writing about games. If anyone is seeking an energetic, passionate and reliable member of staff, please consider me.
Heading to
#WASD
today?
Make sure you come play
@pineheartsgame
and speak with the wonderful
@HyperLuminalUK
team
There may or not be some lovely badges up for grabs.
Been having a pretty shit time of it these past few months, but the new year has gotten off to a pretty good start with a job offer.
Ya boy is once again heading back into marketing from the 17th.
I can't even begin to put into words how much love there was for Pine Hearts during WASD. There's was a tangible excitement emanating from everyone who played it.
Can't wait to see everyone get their hands on it when it launches.
If you aren't yet, go follow
@HyperLuminalUK
WASD pals, journalists and creators!
I'll be there through Thursday and Friday supporting the
@HyperLuminalUK
team and their lovely upcoming narrative adventure
@pineheartsgame
.
Get in touch if you would like to take a look.
P.S. Look how cute Tyke is in their lil beanie ❤️
This time last year we had absolute no idea we were having twins! As scary as it was when we found out, these past six months have been the best in my life as these two boys make every single day a fun-filled adventure.
I love them both so much. Happy Father’s Day everyone!
After struggling to find an outlet interested in publishing my piece, I've decided to publish it on my blog. Please give it a read. If you happen to like it please consider retweeting and sharing it.
Maybe this is the turning point I which I finally try to find work in the games industry? I’ve got over five years of experience in marketing, I can write, I can market and I can design. So why shouldn’t I finally try?
Little update. Both the boys are off their monitors now and we're just trying to get them feeding. Once the hospital is happy with that, we can bring them home ❤️
