My Projects

I been a lot of places, done a lot of things. I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

I’m currently running a biweekly podcast called A Court of Bros and Broses, where three straight men are on their maiden voyage through the world of Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses! Think of it as a book club, except we read the book so you don’t have to. It’s fun, lighthearted, and I’m happy with the tone we’ve struck. It’s been really interesting entering the world of romantasy when I’ve literally never read a romance book in my life, much less a fantasy one. Check it out now on your favorite podcatcher!

The Game Busters! Podcast always was and always will be my favorite child. The podcast changed a lot over its runtime from when I started it in July 2020 to when I ended it in October 2023. Season 1 was focused on having rotating guests on to talk about the history, legacy, and development of the games you love. It was co-hosted and co-created by Rhi Bevan. Season 2 was co-hosted by my college friend Alyssa Halbig. After 150 episodes over 3 years, I burned out and it was time to hand up the towel. The feed is now Video Game Movie Hell, but you can still listen to the old episodes on your favorite podcatcher!

I like movies, I like games. Why not both? After finishing the Game Busters! Podcast, I wanted to continue making content while… not putting in any effort. Voila, reaction videos! I’m joined by my frequent collaborator Jess Clayton-Berry and good friend Felicia Kostiuk, and we’re watching every video game movie ever made so you don’t have to! Watch along on YouTube (some episodes heavily edited or not available), or, better yet, on our website (so easy!). Or if you want to watch on Spotify like a maniac we got that too! We do this for free in our spare time so episode releases are irregular. Whoops!

From 2020-2025 I wrote for GameLuster.com, a wonderful collection of games writers, reviewers, and creators. While we remained a small site the whole time I was there, I loved every opportunity to get my ideas out to the public. I spent much of my time writing game reviews, but early on I did a ton of wacky “Top 10” lists. I also ran our Game of the Year awards every year (aka The Lusties)! From 2021 onward, I was the Audio/Video editor for the site, making lots of YouTube video essays and managing Twitch streams. Check out my work here!

From 2020-2021 I also worked as a freelance writer and professional reviewer for TechRaptor.net, where I got to experience working for a larger game site. I got a lot of valuable skills here! Give ’em a visit. Check out my work here!

I’ve done a lot of music stuff, some really stupid. Most of it. Some is serious! I’m kind of trying to put together a comedic rap album? But not really trying. Anyway I’ve got stuff here, some finished, some demos, under the name Gandheezy. Idk. One day I want to feel good about putting out a comedy hip-hop album and like, promoting it for real. But for now, this is what I’ve got. Some of it’s really funny! Enjoy.
