It's been one year since Furtannia was published.

The UK furry fandom means a lot to me, and I'm grateful to everyone who picked up a copy and showed their support, including those who were inspired to study the fandom further.

Thank you all.

How did Smiling Friends make me feel emotions other than laughter for Mr Frog?

My favourite obscure video game fact is that the only reason James "Buster" Douglas has a video game named after him was because Nintendo had "Mike Tyson's Punch Out" on the NES.

Sega responded by making their first boxing title named after the guy who defeated the then-unbeaten Mike Tyson.

Found someone made a fursuit headbase with a moving jaw so realistic it looks like they snarl!

Looks like what would happen if HMV targeted the furry goth market.

Finding out the release dates of the next two Digital Circus episodes, but finding out that GLITCH is working on a full series of Lackadaisy WITH OLAN RODGERS (of Final Space fame)!

Same. Won't be bringing my fursuit as I'm going to a work event later in the evening. So far, the only problem I have is my eyes.

Happy #FursuitFriday!

Hope you have a great weekend, whether you'll be out with friends, going somewhere scenic, or just relaxing at home.

Just heard the main song. I like the distorted digital riff, but yeah, this doesn't feel much different from the time they wrote a song for the Polybius game.

Still wild that the people who wrote the soundtrack to Soul could also make this.

Heck, I love Tron Legacy, but the idea of them taking Tron way too seriously and hiring Jared Leto... I hope the soundtrack is good.
