Still need more baseball?
We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

check out my latest vid where I talk about Brandon Sanderson, plot theory, flash up some Rust Cohle, but mostly (over) indulge in what I think is marvellous writing and game design in the prologue of the Witcher 3

Day 12 of celebrating #Canada #gamedev bc woo 51st (not woo)
Quebec is arguably epicentre of CAD gamedev (with Montreal being supreme capital). I want to call out @eidosmontreal.com today, from #Deus Ex:HR to #TombRaider to Marvel's #GotG (which I hope to play this year!).
all bangers - all day

Day 11 of celebrating #Canada #gamedev bc of recent stuff
One game I'm aiming to finish this year is the 1970s detective thriller #Kona by #indiedev studio Parabole based out of Quebec City, QC.
Now often you get games set in rural northern Quebec - reminds me of home in northern ON!

Day 10 of celebrating #Canada #gamedev because annex
What originally made me more aware of the prolific proliferation of Canadian devs was realizing @tornbannerstudios.bsky.social is in Toronto - seeing the loading credits to Ontario institutions when playing #Chivalry2 is a treat and delight

Still out west, one of the deckbuilding roguelites on my list this year is @kleientertainment.bsky.social's #Griftlands (are they still considered an indiedev? who knows).
based out of Vancouver, they're probably more famously known for Don't Starve

Staying on Vancouver Island, Metalhead Software should get more praise for its Super Mega Baseball series.
SMB3 remains one of my most played games ever. and the SMB series is your best way to play ball on PC. they even got jomboy shoutouts!

For the rest of February I'm going to share some of my favourite video games made by Canadian developers
Today, is Cellar Door Games, an indie studio based of Toronto (cellardoorgames.com). They're probably most popular for Rogue Legacy/Rogue Legacy 2, but I love them most for Full Metal Furies.
