Unless you are on the list, your name is Geoff, or it's a SEV-1 (or worse)

Volume was our first game to have voice-acted characters, with the talents of Danny Wallace, Charlotte McDonnell, & Andy Serkis.

If you played Thomas Was Alone, you'll know Danny's voice. He plays Alan, the artificial intelligence within the military training simulator you've just stolen.

Gotta say the @bandcamp.com / Stripe thing is being crazily mishandled, like there’s a huge “redditors parsing legalese” energy to it all… and that’s going unchallenged by Bandcamp, so people are fully in “Stripe are allowed to come round my house and look in my toilet” mode.

Later this month marks the 20th anniversary of kicking off the HD era with the launch of Xbox 360. Helping build, ship and launch this console was one of ther most magical professional moments of my career. Here are photos of my launch console.

Fun fact: I have NEVER turned this console on.

I didn't want to add another hour of driving today so I found the closest thing to dark sky I could within 10 minutes and it was... Not very dark, but we made it work.

3x 30 second exposures stacked on phone, I think my laser fell out of alignment. I'll come back tomorrow for a better foreground. 🛰️
