Never wanted a business to succeed like Dropout. Feels like everyone is having fun and doing great work.

Leap Year will either infuriate you or delight you. Only way to find out is to spend $5 and play it. #videogames

Heโ€™s right. Superman is going to be so hard to get right. Especially for modern audiences.

THIS IS HUGE! For the FIRST time in history, scientists at Sanaria and Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Global Infectious Disease Research (CGIDR) have developed a GROUNDBREAKING malaria vaccine (PfSPZ-LARC2) designed to provide >90% protection with just ONE dose. ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ

I was 13 when Shadow of the Beast came out. Itโ€™s hard to articulate how revolutionary this looked and sounded at the time. I knew I wanted to work in graphics the second I saw it and I think about it to this day.

feels like a Fast and Furious movie where they keep adding members to the team. Except everyone is awful and none of them care about family.

The marginal details of the David Lynch memorial at the Burbank Bobโ€™s Big Boy are what make it.

Free will always lead to a dark place. Incentive to monetize your behavior and attention doesnโ€™t lead to a good product.

The Blank Check podcast just did an excellent series on David Lynchโ€™s work, including two and a half hours just about this episode of Twin Peaks: The Return.
