🚨New Video Game Voice Reel🚨
I love video games, with all their quirks and idiosyncrasies. And there’s nothing more uniquely video gamey than the audio log. To that end, I’ve written and performed a brand new reel highlighting this conceit, and I genuinely think it’s really fun. I hope you enjoy.

Big “we won the argument” vibes here
CNN: Was the shutdown worth it?
HAKEEM JEFFRIES: We have waged a battle on behalf of the American people.
CNN: But you didn't get what you want.
JEFFRIES: At the end of the day, the fight lives on.

We launched GenExile, our solarpunk city-builder, in Early Access last week. We had ~35k wishlists before launch (not a barnburner but not nothin').
And they said, "Well, there's no way you'll convert literally 0% of your wishlists to sales."
I looked them dead in the eyes and said, "Watch me."

Our team at Soft Rains launched our first original IP, Ambrosia Sky! I’m so proud of what we built together. It’s small, weird, and full of heart. Out now on Steam! If you get the chance to play, we’d love it if you left a review to help more players discover our little game.
Ambrosia Sky: Act One is available now!
Your homecoming is not what you expected. An alien fungus has claimed your past and your present. Fight back with every tool at your disposal before it takes your future.

ha! I was just listening to an old interview with Douglas Adams about Hitchhiker's and he says explicitly his style is directly influenced by Winnie the Pooh. I've been saying this for years, ever since i read to my kids as an adult and thought, wait a minute, I've seen this before

On the off chance anyone finds themselves short of an actor last minute for pantos (especially in Glasgow or the Central Belt of Scotland), I am VERY available and very good at learning lines REALLY quickly.

Mike and Joan have both applied for an exciting new job. But, thanks to an administrative error, they've been double-booked for the same interview slot! Who will get 'the job'? And, more importantly, might they even find love along the way?
