How often do you want to play a game?
I like being able to play games as much or as little as I want.
How do you view gameplay as a story element?
One of my favorite phrases is "ludonarrative dissonance" and I often find myself musing on it.
How does long-form storytelling impact your gameplay?
One of the things of the past few World of Warcraft expansions is how the story has stretched and grown while it was being told.
What’s your favorite Warcraft Rumble mini?
There are a lot of different minis to play with in Warcraft Rumble. Asking anyone to look at the over 60 different units and asking them to pick just one as their favorite is next to impossible, but that's just what I'm going to do.
How do you know if you’re a fan of a game or not?
I think I'm a fan of the Diablo games, but not the Assassin's Creed games.
What do aesthetics mean to you in a game?
I think I still love World of Warcraft because I love the way Azeroth looks.
What is your favorite winter in-game ho-ho-holiday?
Hark how the bells deck the halls for (supposedly) the best time of the year.
How can Geoff Keighley fix The Game Awards?
The Game Awards were last week and while they were their standard celebration of the year's best video games and creators (congratulations again to Baldur's Gate 3 on winning Game of the Year), there was a lot of criticism afterwards.
What new games did you add to your wish list this week?
It's been a big week for gaming, with The Game Awards airing Thursday night (congratulations to Baldur's Gate 3 on winning Game of the Year) and with Day of the Devs and Wholesome Games showing off games on Wednesday.
What are your picks for the 2023 Game Awards tonight?
Tonight is the 2023 Game Awards and this may be the fiercest Game of the Year competition I've ever seen, with Baldur's Gate 3 going against Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the top award.
