I don't know why it was 60 degrees in November in Wisconsin yesterday but we took advantage of it from sunrise to long after dark.

Video Game History Foundation uploaded a bunch of E3 directories, which is cool because all I can remember from the one time I attended in Atlanta 1998 was the giant booth for Space Bunnies Must Die. There was huge UFO and a long, sad line to take pics with the booth models.

We've been getting fleeting visits from the prince of the wood but this morning he really put on a show. I will definitely double check the camera before wandering into the backyard after dark.

First standalone Alien: Romulus and now Predator Badlands. No decade long crossovers and sequels. No puzzle boxes. No nostalgia bait. Just more fun movies like this please!

A ★★★★ review of Predator: Badlands (2025)
Never thought a dark fantasy buddy comedy about the heroes journey of a jerk Predator would be one of my top movies of the year but here we are!

Getting closer to the end! Now I just have to find a render farm that can handle dense unoptimized simulations. #blender

Was a bit sleepy watching this last night and totally did not notice that the whole film was meant as a one take. Will definitely rewatch again when I'm more awake.

I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.

I am really proud of how the substance of the show has changed (and sometimes changed back) over the years, but we have maintained key elements of style. We are who we are.
New Episode!

This is the second installment of The Eldritch Republic, a subseries of Desert Oracle Radio.

Two polymaths of the early 19th Century - William Dunbar and Thomas Jefferson - and their correspondence over a UFO report.

obviously opposed to religious violence but I think if you are implementing an actual plan to banish the night then some kind of state-condoned moon priestess should be allowed to ritually sacrifice you, willing to be flexible on that one
A US tech bro corp in the US has decided the night sky should go away. They've made that decision for everyone on Earth.

Naturally they've named the first searing orbital array (many times brighter than the moon) after Eärendil, the light bearer, from Tolkien's work

For once, it would be interesting to see someone enthusiastically embrace the wild supernatural theories of their spouse instead of always going with "You need help," then door slam. I would be so excited if my wife wanted to investigate an abandoned prison in the middle of the night!

One of the biggest cheers during No Kings in Madison was for this wee cloud that provided us a few minutes of relief from the sun.

The GLEAM show at Olbrich Gardens gets better every year but last night was definitely a big step up. Check out this amazing projection mapping!

Alan Wake 2 is quite pretty

Finished Alan Wake and starting Alan Wake 2. Obviously everything is improved in the sequel but not sure I will ever relate to a character as much as a writer that gets cramps and starts wheezing after sprinting 20 feet.

I've been rendering a draft Blender animation since Tuesday (3000 frames). Becoming intimately aware of how 24 fps translates to real time as I preview the new output images coming out every few minutes.

A gorgeous 2 hour Nine Inch Nails vfx video interspersed with the silliest plot imaginable. Not to mention an attempt to filter raw fan service through Jared Leto of all people. Will probably watch ag...
