Probably made games you played (Skylanders, Call of Duty, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Sacrifice…), now solo dev. Creative, code, biz, in a handmade tortilla. #art #gamedesign #code #music

Here’s SHOOT DAGNABBIT. He drank so much moonshine it sent him to a universe of pure alcohol. They taught him their ways, they learned his, and you’ll find out if you step on his lawn.

I misspelled. It should be Ms Skeeto. Maybe that’s why she looks upset.

Psychonauts seemed cool. Friends kept telling me the art reminded them of my earlier game Sacrifice. I tried it briefly and could kind of see the resemblance. Later, friends said parts of Brütal Legend were even more like Sacrifice. I heard folks on Shafer’s team were fans.

Vividly.

Jade Helm was always an obvious bit of projection. But also instantly forgotten by many that evangelized it and then readily bought the next conspiracy theory.

He's very proud of his sweater. The fur/material is interactive in-game, so you can rub it for prizes. 🎁 Extra fun on touch screens.

While brushing my teeth then showering, I was annoyed that cleaning one side didn’t automatically clean the other.

What happens when you spend all day 3D modeling with X symmetry on.
