Ah! It’s me! ICYMI during the beginning of this week’s episode, I’m taking over as NVC’s main host 😊 Ecstatic for the opportunity and responsibility! I’ll keep doing my best. Thanks everyone for all the support 🙏
- Went to Chipotle with a guy with a ton of Nintendo tattoos.
- Told him about my Shiny Absol.
- Guy vehemently argued my Absol is red only because it’s female and would NOT back down about it.
- Called me a cold-hearted bitch and harassed me after I declined a second date 🙃

office came together to
#FreeTheSheep
and purchased this life-sized Big Sheep Mareep, in an understanding we will all share custody of her. 😊😊 aka TIME SHARE MAREEP.
I wish there was a test arena in Elden Ring where you could respec (temporarily) as much as you want just to try new things.
I’ve pretty much only use the Bloodhound’s Fang, but it’s so good I can’t tell if switching things up is worth it lol

expo floor and a dude handed me a free water bottle and his FIRST question for me was “Have you played games before?” while miming a controller in his hands.
Is this real life
Surprise! I'm back at IGN and NVC this week ☺️ Here's my first episode back, with
@sethmacy
hosting! We completed a peaceful transition of power and I'll be back in the host seat next week ~
By age 30 you should have played so many games and watched so much anime that when someone asks what your favorites are you descend into a puddle of indecisive existential dread
I've been pretty silent considering a new Pokemon game just came out. My uncle passed away unexpectedly this week, I went to be with family, and I just don't feel like participating much in social media.
Call your loved ones more often. I'm sorry if this Tweet made you sad.
Ability to stream YouTube & Netflix when car is stopped coming to your Tesla soon! Has an amazingly immersive, cinematic feel due to the comfy seats & surround sound audio.
Not going to lie I teared up A LOT during that
#NintendoDirectMini
😭😭😭
Literally EVERYTHING I said I wanted, I’m so happy.
New Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter Stories 2, AND Rune Factory 5?!
I’m glad we hadn’t actually chosen our March 2021 wedding date yet 😂😂😅
In the 5th grade, the school held an event where kids taught mini-classes to other kids. Sports were a popular topic. I proposed Pokemon. My teacher told me no, it had no real world application. 🙃
I write about Pokemon (& other games) for a living now.

@IGN
main page right now is alllll Pokemon Legends: Arceus ~ I wrote a feature on the biggest changes and a tips page on things it doesn't tell you!
Announcement!
Today's episode of Nintendo Voice Chat is my last as the official host. Thank you all for the kind support over the last few years ☺️
I'll still be at IGN and guesting! Full announcement at the end:
8 years ago today I sat on the floor of my local GameStop with my Pokemon Black and White haul and took a picture while waiting for my friends in line.
Alright, Nintendo definitely mismatched complementary colors for these new Joy-Con on purpose to force us to buy both, because look at how 🔥 they look when paired *correctly* !
@Kotaku
This reads like the writer didn’t read any of the tutorials or dialogue or do the first tutorial mission or look at the controls before trying to fight a more difficult monster in the multiplayer hub 😅 Well hey:
@ZachariusD
1. Majora’s Mask
2. Pokemon SoulSilver/HeartGold
3. Ocarina of Time
4. All the Monster Hunters
5. Shadow of the Colossus
6. Lost Kingdoms
7. The World Ends With You
8. Divinity Original Sin 2
9. Drakengard
10. Horizon Zero Dawn
This was v hard
I’ve updated IGN’s Pokemon preview & news article that detailed level scaling in the Expansion Pass areas. Unfortunately, Nintendo’s previous statement to me about levels scaling up to 100 has been proven false with the release.
I’m disappointed too. :( Sorry all. Not omniscient
@Gameonysus
Some kids maliciously snuck back onto the bus while we were at a field trip, and deleted my Pokémon Red save. I had 117 Pokémon in my Pokédex - I was so close to finishing! The counselor made a point to include that in her announcement when she punished them haaah
I’m at a club for the first time in months and I’m spending my time talking about the datability of the Fire Emblem: Three Houses characters, and I’m happy to say I found some Felix stans.
I just tripped on my skirt getting out of my chair and simultaneously fell on the floor and pantsed myself and by some divine intervention, no one at the office witnessed it.
If anyone ever wondered why I never wear skirts.
Whenever I want to complain about a modern control layout, I think about how I had to contort my hands to play og / PSP Monster Hunter and laugh it off.
I queued a bunch of Sonic Adventure 2 songs at a party, which infuriated people, and then the Pumpkin Hill song came on
they were wholeheartedly jammin
until they saw where the song was from and LOST IT
I AM DECEASED
I hope my review helped ease some concerns. Sw/Sh are not broken by any means - they're amazing! In the review, I addressed issues and quirks I personally encountered but we'll have a comprehensive article about the controversy as a whole tomorrow.✌️
More Monster Hunter Rise! This time, director Ichinose tells us about the Japanese folklore/yokai that inspired the new monsters. Check out direct comparisons, concept art, and his explanations in the slide show :)
Unfortunately, our normally scheduled
@NVCpodcast
we recorded yesterday is unusable due to technical issues, but we have an episode recorded today after the Direct going up ASAP!
Things take a little longer with the WFH setups ~ Thanks for being patient everyone 🙏
I can’t get it out of my head that Arceus is just a poor creature that got stuck in one of those plastic soda can rings and turned into god out of spite.
5’3.5” barefoot. No one takes photos of just me but myself so all I have are mirror pics 🤷♀️

Some takeaways:
- Weapons in Monster Hunter Rise will require less material to upgrade
- The village can be explored in multiplayer, up to 4 players
- Ichinose said the Long Sword has taken the spot of SnS as best weapon for beginners
Busy at The Pokemon World Championships though I’m feeling a bit under the weather 😪 . (p.s. it’s also my three-year anniversary with my boyfriend today and I’m so grateful to be with someone so supportive❤️)
