Sad news for film buffs. The Criterion Closet tipped over with Paul Giamatti inside. He’s currently on life support. Doctors are hopeful he’ll pull through but it’s touch and go

I was one of those kids that grew up with the Dark Forces series, and specifically played the hell out of DF2: Jedi Knight. To me, Kyle Katarn is as essential to the Star Wars mythos as Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, or Han Solo are.

This is maybe one of the best video essays / analysis videos I've ever seen.

It's about a topic I didn't even know that much about to begin with, but winds up being an INCREDIBLE piece about creativity and the differences between art and cynicism.

Going to try to get back into Content Creation. That means some more Twitch Streams soon! Maybe also more podcasts?
Will try to drop a line here when I'm planning on going live again. Also - going to try to use "Blue Sky" to talk about the stuff I'm making.

Watching Star Trek: Voyager again, I still can't forgive the Star Trek: Picard team for the way they killed Icheb.
Such a horrifying, awful, needlessly gory end to a wonderful character.
Icheb deserved so much better.
