Unfortunately, I was part of a group of layoffs this last week. I know I've been slow on any of my projects including this Twitter account, but it might become slower as I look for work so I don't lose my house.

If we treated Banjo-Tooie's unused levels for a theoretical Banjo-Threeie like Tooie did with Kazooie. We'd get 10 levels. White is the made up names, the yellow is what is written by Gregg Mayles in one of his concept documents. #BanjoKazooie
