It's finally here! You can get your hands on a copy of my brand new book: Dreaming in Digital: The World of Disney Video Games. It takes a look at 50 #Disney games, beginning in 1981 through the present day. I LOVED writing this book and hope you enjoy reading it.

👀 We heard Nintendo is bringing the Virtual Boy back to gamers. While we can't get you the new add-on, the story behind this unique platform is completely free!

Having you put something together as a guest writer at some point would actually be awesome.

That's true. Adding in the chorus would complicate things. Drag Kings are awesome. A couple of my favorite local performers are drag kings and they definitely deserve more recognition.

That'd be awesome! I definitely could have gone higher, but cut myself off there.

For no good reason that I can think of, I'm musing about defunct attractions at the Disney Parks: Kitchen Kabaret. Flying Saucers. The Timekeeper. Cranium Command. That sort of thing. Do you have a favorite Disney attraction that has been closed?
