Update: American University's players tell us they haven't been banned yet for their 'Free Hong Kong Boycott Blizzard' sign, though they expect it. "...we agreed to hold a sign on broadcast because it would force Blizzard to either cut the camera or spread our message."

Update on the American University players: They received their match for the week, but are forfeiting and saying they won't compete in Blizzard games again. "We feel it’s hypocritical for Blizzard to punish Blitzchung but not us," the team says.

sick to my stomach re: Jacksonville shooting. tournaments have always been a safe haven for me, a gathering of a community. increased security is always good, but change has to happen at a broader level as well. we can't be complacent. we can't let this feel normal.

Some news: I'll be leaving USgamer at the end of December. If you're looking to hire a reporter with 5+ years of experience, including podcast, video, and live event coverage, I'm currently looking for opportunities.

This has been in the works for a while now, but a small job title change: I'm now a Senior Editor at ! It's largely an acknowledgement of what my role has been since we joined Gamurs, but excited to work with our staff + contributors on Dtoid's future.

E3 imploding sucks for a few reasons. not looking forward to increasingly controlled preview/interview environments that are spread out and more costly. smaller studios don't benefit from the rising tide of the big show.

Looks like a normal teen's bedroom, right? Think again. Coming up on DKC, we'll show you what parents should be looking for so they can identify signs of drug use. I was shocked at what I found in this room!!!
