Halloween II (1981) Jump Scare - Alice's Death
YouTube video by Where's The Jump? Halloween II (1981) Jump Scare - Alice's Death

Halloween 2 is not well regarded, and I get it. JC didn't want to write the thing. But this literal jump-scare, where Myers erupts from the MFin' earth like a groundhog predicting 6 more years of unfortunate sequels... has an underrated absurdist charm. Spoilers, obv.

My job is weird. Some days, it matches a non-dev's expectations - arguing over the risk of an overpowered Armor effect or w/e.

Then there are days like today, where it ends up mattering that I made a case for Figs

This. Sounds similar to my attitude about the skill of writing solid video game combat β€œbarks”.

It ain’t glamorous - but it’s useful, and it is sometimes the available work - plus, there is a subtle art to lending them any humanity at all.

Today is my last day at Blizzard! Working with the World of Warcraft team has been such a fun, positive experience. I can't wait for players to see what we made together. Now I'm looking for my next role in games, full time or contract, indie or AAA. You can check out my portfolio on my website! πŸ–€

Hey, Question has its own Discord, now - and we're pretty active in it!

Discord was the central nervous system of our live story feature in TBC. But we don't own that IP, so it's time to build a new home for @thekillingstone.com & beyond. If you like our stuff, come warm it up.❀️‍πŸ”₯

Gadzooks, I would have watched Weapons a good deal sooner, had I known about the CarnivΓ le connection.

Keeping it vague, but ! πŸ«€ ! What a performance.

For those of you playing on Steam Deck, Baldur’s Gate 3 now also features a native Steam Deck build!

Running natively on the platform, you should now see a better framerate, lower loading times, and smoother gameplay πŸ™Œ

WIP Screenshot from The Killing Stone. A workbench by candle light. Painterly style for the scene. Several figurines for the chess-like ritual game within the story are arrayed across it. One in the middle was still being carved.
