The Great Dark Beyond's art is out of this world! 🪐

Sit down with the devs for a look at concept art, SFX, and everything else that brings the (outer)world of Warcraft to life in Hearthstone.

Really sorry to hear about the news happening over at Riot. If you were affected by the layoffs and have any interest in any role at Blizzard let me know and I can answer some questions about it.

[Riot Games @riotgames]

Minutes ago, we shared an important update with Rioters about the future of Riot Games. Here’s what these changes mean for our games and what players can expect from us going forward: https://t.co/SPjvtANGdK

The one time I buy an umbrella and of course I leave it outside, in the car, where the storm is...

@SmearKees It was so awesome meeting you too! Keep kicking ass at TemTem your guy's work is amazing :D

[Alex Cortes 💙 @ACortes2018]

Such an amazing week at GDC! Meeting up with friends old and new and spending time with them was the most connected I've felt to the game dev community in a long time. If i didn't get a chance to meetup with you then hopefully we get a chance to connect next year!

Update security line and bag drop off was non-existent surprisingly so i have 30 minutes to spare 😎

[Alex Cortes 💙 @ACortes2018]

The emotional whiplash i got of being late to my flight, relief of it being delayed, and instance stress of seeing it get delayed by ONE MINUTE

[Alex Cortes 💙 @ACortes2018]

@LittleMissLokii Super wild we got to run into each other! Have fun at LBX :D

[Alex Cortes 💙 @ACortes2018]

@flavor_waves Outer Wilds, it encapsulated me the first time I played it, running around and unraveling the mystery of the universe provided an incomparable experience for the first playthrough. And the soundtrack is EXCELLENT!
