You ever notice the word “home” appears in a lot of songs? People always goin’ home or comin' home. They never write songs about buying a home, do they?

I should take part in #RandomGameSaturday more so here’s the game I just got in the mail, the Other Namco Launch PS2 Racer, MotoGP.
Technically the later games are better because they have way more content but this is closer to a port of 500GP from the arcades, and that makes it the coolest.

Personally I am of the opinion that it would be both Cool AND Good for everyone involved if I was hired somewhere as an in-house composer.
Hey everyone! I've put a new composition reel together in hopes of better displaying a range of things I have done/can do with music for video games. I'm always open to new projects, so please feel free to contact me if you're interested in working together! ^_^

Holy shit this is my favorite show ever and I’ve never seen this before
In 1998, Cartoon Network commissioned MST3K creator (and CtC guest) Joel Hodgson and his brother Jim to create a new intro for SGCTC. 17 were produced, but were never used. Five of them were eventually released as Easter Eggs on the Volume 2 DVD. Models by Screaming Mad George. Paul Feig played SG

We love @elmore.zone, one of the finest zones if you ask me
Our video edited by @oliemack.bsky.social featuring his work with @elmore.zone is tracking to be our most popular video/news story of the year. It has yet to crack it, but it may end up being more popular than the DLSS4 reveal and GTA 6 videos.
That is interesting!

I'm honestly surprised how much I enjoyed Assetto Corsa Rally with a pad (sacrilege, I know). This is shaping up to be good, and I'd argue it's already better than EA WRC. www.thedrive.com/news/assetto...
Assetto Corsa Rally Early Access Review: Hardcore Rally Fans, Your Sim Is Here
Assetto Corsa Rally captures the sport's beauty and agony even in early access, and is ideal for anyone let down by EA WRC's more forgiving nature.

So anytime I think of Free Fallin' I instinctively start singing to myself "[he's/she's/they're] a/an [adjective] [boy/girl/etc] from [cardinal direction] [city/state]" endlessly until I stop being able to improvise

Hey I was in Japan last week and got to play so much good shit.
Gigo 3 let me play a ton of racing games for the first time, including Dirt Dash and Thrill Drive. Some went better than others but I could have spent four times as long here. Cameo by @kylempatrick.bsky.social on Scud Race there.
