The Weekend Paper Selects

Welcome to The Weekend Paper. You’ve made it to my portfolio page, the one where I try to impress your pants off with some of the best pieces I’ve written in my many years writing about games. Along with these posts, please feel free to peruse the entire Weekend Paper blog for more of my writing, games related and non-games related. Listed below are my select pieces and I really hope they impress your pants off.

• Games Journalism and Lessons Learned - In 2012, I wrote my first investigative report about the development mess of I Am Alive. Unfortunately, the article itself was a bit of a mess. In this 2017 piece, I explain how to avoid making those same mistakes.
• Faith in the Cosmos: The Strange Optimism of No Man's Sky - A profile of the most prominent personality in the No Man's Sky community and an exploration of the passion that fuels that fandom. + 
• Joining the Majors: The Birth of Professional Rocket League - An article written for Unwinnable Magazine about the pioneering members of the Rocket League community, whose skill and passion for the game helped prove its legitimacy as an eSport.
• What Journey Taught Me About My Sex Addiction – A personal introspective about a particularly enlightening experience with Journey.
• Setting Out: Why Alto’s Adventure Is Worth Your Time – A profile of the developer behind one of my favorite mobile games of 2015.
• How Beyond Eyes Went From School Project to Indie Darling – The story of how one developer suddenly found herself at E3, watching her school project on the big screen on Microsoft’s stage.
