No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm

Anyone know what's happening on the Cobequid Pass RN?
Potential outcomes range from snow to absolutely nothing.
The visuals are...not helpful

Nova Scotia’s harrowing history of pirate encounters dates back to the 18th century.
Did you know that Halifax was the site of the last major piracy trial in Nova Scotia?
Join us today to hear Evan share the shocking story of the mutineers of the Saladin and their unsettled spirits.

I've judged IGF for years and done Narrative jury a couple times, too. If you need advice on submitting your game to IGF, I'm happy to give it, but here are some pointers to start with...
I am thinking at this point that anyone submitting a game to IGF should ask a current or former judge to review their submission. There are some great games making some easy to avoid mistakes.
blog post boiling within me titled "indie publishers, you need to get your shit together" based on this year of indie pubs submitting games to IGF w/ a demo and then when asked for a dev build so anyone can actually judge it, either ghost or go "we will provide you with a build on the release date"
