This was kinda fun for an low-budget indie film. Lotsa twists and turns.
Don’t look it up: A group of college friends meet for a reunion, then a surprise guest arrives with a mysterious suitcase…

Today, I celebrate 38 years as a professional Game Developer!
It's been a crazy roller coaster, but what a ride it has been.
This summer also marks the 40th anniversary of our family getting an Apple ][+, which started my game dev journey.
Thanks for playing and/or working alongside me, folks!

Happy 24th Anniversary to ANACHRONOX, a fun, funny, heart-breaking, hard sci-fi, ridiculous, epic, satirical RPG that we made with love! See ya at Rowdy's.

RIP Lalo Schifrin. So much great music. The Mission: Impossible Theme is arguably the best TV show theme ever.

Last night: L’Avventura. #cinema #antonioni #vitti For some reason, watching the amoral, bored, hedonistic rich stumble through their lives was agitating.

On this day, 45 years ago, my dad got the family an Apple ][+ computer, starting a dreamy, nerdy summer of gaming and Applesoft BASIC coding, setting me on a path to being a gamedev. Thanks Dad!
