Holy Shit
#TheMandalorian
I really want a Taika Waititi Star Wars movie! The humor, the action, the payoffs! My goodness! Talk about finishing strong!!!!
Did I cry during the God of War segment??! Maybe…most definitely maybe.
These games mean so much to me and seeing this music live…really got to me!
Thanks
@SonySantaMonica
for making such a wonderfully inspiring series!
I was so excited to get a chance to work on this packaging. This was my first project where I designed almost everything you see here! I can’t wait to see people posting their copies! I’m gonna be throwing likes around like nobodies business!
#YakuzaRemasteredCollection
The Yakuza Remastered Collection launches tomorrow, and we have a close-up look at the physical Day 1 Edition featuring a PS3 Amaray case for Yakuza 5! Who's picking one up?
If you haven't pre-ordered, you better hurry, as supplies are limited:
How it started vs. how it’s going
Starting today I am no longer a visual designer at Square Enix…I am a creative producer at Square Enix!!
I’ve wanted to be a producer/PM for quite some time and I can’t wait to learn and grow in this position. So happy I get to stay at SE!
Today is launch day for
#FINALFANTASYXVI
I can’t put into words how hard the team worked for this launch. Across every office, across every discipline this was the definition of a team effort!!
My first credit in a mainline FF title. Middle School James would not believe it
So today was quite the day! I got a promotion at work! I’m officially a graphic designer for
#sega
#atlus
I’m so excited to work for such a great company! This is only the beginning. First E3, first game packaging, at lot of firsts! And there’s gonna be plenty more!
Today marks 5 years together with
@LittleArcanine_
and I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else...
So I asked her to marry me!!
She said yes and I can’t put into words how happy I am! I love you!!
My first title as a creative producer at Square Enix has finally released! I hope you all enjoy the ride! If you’re planning on picking it up, let me know your thoughts on it!
A quick heads up to those who work in the industry. ESPECIALLY influencer relations. Be aware of who you follow and anybody who follows this certain “content creator” you may want to rethink that and how it looks.

Tonight was rough…
Tonight Bowser passed over the Rainbow Bridge
15 years he was by my side. My best friend, my lifeline, my everything.
he was the purest being to ever exist, and he brought joy to everybody who met him.
I love you and I’ll miss you!
Until we meet again
Hi, I’m James! I’ve been in the industry now for 6+ years. I started as a graphic designer for SEGA before moving to Square Enix where I continued as a designer before transitioning to a producer role!
I got into the industry because I love games

Hi, I'm Sam! Not ALL my experience is in game dev but it's absolutely where Im the most passionate ❤️.
I've done Community/Social Media/Communications/Marketing in games for over 5 years and there's nowhere Id rather be.

don’t trust any person that is in a position of power taking a knee.
Politicians - can make actual changes to policy and laws, but instead take a knee
Cops - have the power to call out their co-workers and push for reform as leaders.
Don’t buy the performance!
Hello my name is James
I’ve been working in the game industry since 2017. I started as a visual designer and recently made the switch to producer.
I’ve worked on Persona, Yakuza, SMT, FFXIV, Dragon Quest, Tomb Raider, and many many more!

I like to advocate for South Asians in the space especially. ❤️

Twitter and youtube need to just ban him. How many times does he have to make videos of women and people of color where his community then harasses. If you have to tell your community not to harass people before every video, it says a lot about your community
Please for the love of god. Industry folks and regular folks…UNFOLLOW HER!!! she’s an anti-vax, anti-woman, homophobic, transphobe. Her takeaway from the situation is that a man can’t love his wife if she’s on OF.
Anybody following her gets an instablock no excuses
Gonna make a thread to hold myself accountable! (And so you can mute if you want!
My first work out in MONTHS! My goal is to be down to my goal weight by October! Totally doable with hard work and proper eating!
Whenever I listen to the
#godofwar
Soundtrack it makes me want to jump back into that world. That game really is something special. The camerawork, vocal performances, visuals, gameplay, and storytelling. I don't think I can thank the team at
@SonySantaMonica
enough!
I must say!
@joeynoelle
is amazing! She saw me wearing a
@KindaFunnyVids
shirt and came to say hello to me. We chatted about games and not having enough time in the day. She’s an absolute delight and kindafunny is lucky to have her! Thanks for the picture :)
I’m exhausted, hot, sweaty, and I could not be happier!!!! The Primals and closing ceremony were the perfect send off for The Weeknd!! This community blows me away every single time. One of the best communities I’ve ever seen for any game.

Just watched Lisa Frankenstein at AMC’s Scream Unseen screening and what a delightful movie. Dark, morbid, funny, heartfelt, and stylish.
If you like Edward Scissorhands, Jennifer’s Body, or Death Becomes Her. I highly recommend it.
Can’t wait to see more from Zelda Williams
@katrinaltrnsl8r
It’s disgusting to see how little respect is given to people who make games playable for people in other countries.
Hell if you touched a game at all, you should be credited. Why is it such a huge deal to include people? Why do people fight against it?
It’s been a bit chaotic lately but I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate my one year wedding anniversary with
@LittleArcanine_
we have so much fun together and I’m lucky to be able to spend my life with you!!!
So excited to FINALLY see BABY METAL!!! Not only were they amazing and so high energy but they also have the coolest tour poster I’ve ever seen (which I had to buy)
Life update! Super stoked to announce that I have a accepted an offer for a new role at
@SquareEnix
as a Community Rep! I can’t wait to get started and look forward to all of the new experiences 🤘🏻
Whenever I hear people shitting on creations without any actual critique I’m reminded of this monologue in one of my favorite movies. Just remember that it’s easy to critique and hard to create and is seeming something as horrible doesn’t make it so.
The first game I worked on in the games industry was Yakuza 6. The beginning of a lifelong dream. Yakuza will always hold a special place in my heart. The adventures of Kiryu & the gang are filled with hope, humor & heart. I hope I’ve represented those values in my career so far
I FINALLY rolled credits on FFXVI. What an amazing experience. This game has some of the most memorable moments in any game I’ve ever played.
Not only that but my name is in the credits…OF A MAINLINE FINAL FANTASY!!
8th grade me would be losing their mind right now! 😭😭

? YES! do I love
@SonySantaMonica
? YES! did I just pre-order this gorgeous PS4 Pro? YES! I am so excited to see what
@corybarlog
has in store for us! 4/20 can't come soon enough.
Introducing the Limited Edition God of War PS4 Pro bundle, launching April 20: Includes a custom PS4 Pro, Leviathan Gray DualShock 4, physical copy of God of War, and digital content
Bowser is home now and he’s eating and moving around much better.
Unfortunately the x-ray revealed a mass in his abdomen. It’s not too serious. We’re going to focus on making sure bowser enjoys any time we have left with him.
Thank you for showing the 15 year old man some ❤️
Had an amazing time at the
#ffxvi
event!!! I know our team worked so hard and it came together so well!!! Also got a chance to meet some amazing people!!! Please tag me if we took any pictures together!! Let’s be friends!!!
I’m so damn proud of my wife!!! Seeing her succeed will never not make me happy!
Let’s get some love going for
@LittleArcanine_
if you know her, replay with something you love about her!
I’ve always had issues about where I fit in. I was mocked as being too “black” for the emo scene. As a biracial kid it was hard to know where I fit. So I never attempted the “rock” look. Always felt like I would get made fun.
Well EFF THAT!
Here’s my MCR concert outfit!
Also the amazing artwork I had commissioned by the super talented
@infj_crezz
seriously reach out to her for commissions! You won’t regret it! Thank you for helping make this special day perfect!

Hurray capitalism! The rich get richer while everybody else gets poorer.
YOUR CHANCES OF BECOMING A MILLIONAIRE/ BILLIONAIRE IN THIS COUNTRY BASED ON HARD WORK IS NEARLY ZERO! THEY HATE YOU, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU, STOP PROTECTING THEM!
First picture together and most recent picture together!
Happy Anniversary to the woman who changed my life! You’re my best friend in the entire world and I can’t put in to words just how important you are to me. I love you with everything I have!
@LittleArcanine_
Just watched Advent Children in theaters for the first time ever!! Wild to see something I was so obsessed with when I was younger on the big screen. Even more wild that I work for the company that made it…and a bunch of my really talented co-workers helped bring it to life!
We did it!!!! So much hard work by so many people went into this title. Can’t wait to dive into it myself and hope everybody who’s already playing are having a blast!
STOP SCROLLING AND CELEBRATE
Today is Bowsers 15th birthday. Everybody stop and show the old man some love!! He’s my best friend and I don’t know where I’d be without him!!!
🎉🎂🎊🎁🐶
Share your career path into the games industry:
Quit my job to pursue a job in gaming. Applied at Atlus & Blizzard making unique custom pieces in my graphic design portfolio.
Didn’t hear back from either. Applied a 2nd time at Atlus and got the job
Here’s what I made lol
HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHahhahahaahahahhahaha
They can’t compete with what? Paying a living wage???
GET...and I can’t stress this enough THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
If you can’t afford to pay a living wage you don’t deserve to own a business
My girlfriend is the best! She’s so thoughtful, considerate, and on top of that she’s just a great human. I don’t know where I would be without her! Thank you for the awesome birthday gifts! I love you ❤️
@LittleArcanine_
Today we finally revealed the Bayonetta/Vanquish bundle. It took a ton of hard work and effort from a lot of people. I’m super proud of everybody. I designed the glam shot and am happy to share it with the all of you! Hope you all like it! Can’t wait for the release!
Name an actor who may not always be the main character but always makes the movie/show they’re in better.
Without a doubt, it’s gotta be Jeffrey Wright
Well well well would you look at that. Sitting on the other side of 35. It feels, weird being closer to 40 than 30 but I’m just going to keep doing my thing.
It may sound really weird to say, but I really want to be a producer/ project manager! I really love organization and helping ensure everybody’s life is easier!!

SCUBA stands for self contained underwater breathing apparatus. If this argument were valid we would say sc -uh-ba not sc- oo-ba ;)
Decided to go all in and shave my head with a razor!!! A few years from 40 and I don’t think I look half bad.
Losing weight, eating healthy, gonna add working out back in and see where I get!!
Started at 248. Now 236. Next step is 220!!
@RahulKohli13
and now we wait as they try to play the victim. It's in every a-hole playbook. they talk shit...get clapped back on, go and complain while having comedically ridiculous conversations about how normal they are and how EVERYBODY else is wrong...
@tha_rami
They can’t imagine something worse than losing the ability to tweet. They can’t fathom the reality that is the US for so many people. They want so much so to feel oppressed to justify “pushing back”
I know I don’t do this a lot so you’re all just gonna have to deal with it! I’m super lucky to have
@LittleArcanine_
she’s beautiful, goofy, smart, and talented! Here’s a few of my favorite candids of her being in her own world. I’m just happy to share it with her
Bowser isn’t feeling too well so I’m a bit stressed out. Hoping his tummy is just upset and not something more serious. When you have a 15 year old dog, anything is scary. Everybody send Bowser some e-hugs
@storymodebae
I read that Disney made it intentionally hard so you couldn’t beat it in the rental period so you were more likely to buy it. Not sure how true it is but that’s some arcade level BS right there! Lol
My first every E3 is going really well!! Seeing my designs on the show floor blows my mind! Come swing by the booth to see all the awesome games we have coming!
So excited to have been given the opportunity to design something that so many awesome folks get to see! I’m really happy with how the

I hate that y’all have been screaming about this to twitch for YEARS! And every time, nothing. No mod tools, no banning racist usernames from even existing, nothing. Twitch has a racism problem (on top of other isms) and it needs to be dealt with. It’s a freaking joke!
It’s weird to think that just about 5 years ago I decided to change my career path to chase my dream. I’ve had the pleasure of working on some of the best franchises ever AND helped design an E3 booth!
NEVER stop chasing your dreams. If you ever need help my DM’s are open!
Playing through Hi-Fi Rush and I audibly gasped when invaders must die started playing. The Prodigy shaped my love of EDM along with Daft Punk. My middle school days were filled with around the world and Breathe!
I want to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wonderful wife
@LittleArcanine_
I’m always blown away by how much of an impact you have on every single person you meet!
We’re all lucky to have you in our lives!
Everybody take some time to wish her a happy birthday!!! 🎉🎂
Who wants to be friends and do fun shit, and eat ramen and curry, and go to the movies or go see a play or anything?
I’m really shy and quiet so somebody just makes plans with me. My awesome wife can come too. it’ll be great!
I feel lonely 🥹
Blatantly trying to kill a workers strike as they push for a living wage…
It’s odd timing for this “data” to come out. Just say you value profits over the workers who make it all possible. Literally nothing happens without them!
@_NevadaMan
Our data show that consumers routinely focus on the visual of the Pop-Tarts brand name, so we simplified the package design by removing "Kellogg's".
Bout unfollow a lot of twitch people who want to speak up about every piece of drama but are staying silent on real world issues that impact people in your audience. Myself included. It hurts to see people I considered friends repeatedly stay silent! Friends no longer! I’m done
