Oh, I respectfully disagree. Nothing could be more fabulously hilarious than brightly and joyously proclaiming the most classic anti-festive slogan in history. I hope it’s multicolored and animated and twinkles.

Can’t wait to see it lit up at night.

Would it be weird if I just knocked on their door and asked if they’d be my friend?

I feel like somebody should do a talk about this or something.

(They are adorable, FYI.)

Honestly, for me, the worst part of building a PC is that it's like Legos. Building the PC is half the fun, and then it's over, and it's a bummer :-D

PCPartPicker.com is totally indispensable for me. But nothing will ever soothe my fear of cracking the mobo or bending a pin :-/

But I do really hope that opportunity happens someday, and I have not been shy about telling him so :-D

Dave knows that I would LOVE to read for him someday. We've talked about it. It hasn't been an option because I've been SAG-AFTRA since I was eight years old and his projects have been non-union. Which is NOT judging β€” everybody has to do what's best for them and I support that...

The only thing that makes me nervous about building my own is that there's no safety net. If you screw it up, you can't go running to technical support or warranty returns. But honestly, they kind of build themselves these days. I've now done four over the past six years with no major issues.

I mean, my previous experience basically meant nothing. EVERYTHING was different. (Surprise.) But the thing is that now there are SO MANY resources, it was a million times easier now than it was the last time, when I really did know what I was doing...

Y'know, it's funny. I was a PC-first gamer from the time I got my first in college up until I had kids. And then I had so little time for games that I couldn't justify the cost of PC upkeep. So I didn't build a PC from roughly 1999-2019. And when I did finally dive back in 20 years later...

(I, myself, will be there in late December and avoiding Tsukiji like the plague.)

Tourists asked to avoid Tsukiji Outer Market in late December | The Asahi Shimbun: Breaking News, Japan News and Analysis Tourists pack the Tsukiji Outer Market in the year-end New Year's frenzy but they are being asked to stay away this year because the crowds are driving away regular customers.

It's charming when it isn't a mob scene (which is pretty much never these days), but even when it's quiet, it's a tiny part of a massive city in a big country. I promise, you're not missing anything unmissable. You don't have to do the same thing everybody else does. Get out there and explore.

Ha! I had no idea that existed, and then all of a sudden, I think four people have mentioned it to me in the last two weeks. (I mean, I know the demo existed, obvs, but not as a bonus track :-D )

I’m pretty sure I have a bunch of compelling non-Guybrush stuff in me, and I’m looking forward to sharing it with y’all :-)

Thanks, everybody β€” you know who you are β€” for the encouragement and help. It's time.

Rock on!

Not seeking any favors! I’m not asking anybody to hire me because I’m Guybrush or because I’m a nice guy. (Though I am totally a nice guy.) But if you or anybody you know are casting, I’d love an opportunity to read and show you what I can do… (6/7)

So enough of that. I’m hanging out my shingle. I cut a new interactive demo (more to follow!) and you’ll find it at dominicarmato.com. I’m a SAG-AFTRA voice actor with decades of experience and I’d love to work the mic on a regular basis again… (5/7)

Thing is, for most of my childhood and young adulthood, VO is what I did. It’s who I was. I’d planned on doing it for the rest of my life. And man, I am discovering just how much I miss it. And while I LOVE being Guybrush, I’m tired of waiting around for the phone to ring once a decade… (4/7)

When I stepped away from actively working as a voice actor in 2007, it wasn’t a choice so much as life circumstance, and it was with the intention of picking it back up in 2009. That… didn’t happen. (It’s complicated.) And I never did manage to get back to it… (3/7)

Most folks know me from Monkey Island, but I was a working voice actor for more than a decade before I was cast as Guybrush, and more than a decade after, and I spent an awful lot of time in front of the mic during those years… (2/7)

Big news (for me)! Signal boost appreciated!

TL;DR: I’ve posted a new interactive voiceover demo at dominicarmato.com, and I’m lookin’ for work.

For the long version, read on!… (1/7)

Can’t say I expected the PC I built in 2022 to appreciate in value year over year, but here we are.
