Every year I make an advent calendar for my cousin of Christmas songs that bombed, called the "Festive Flops Sadvent Calendar."
(Warning: some of these songs are NSFW and all of these songs are terrible.)

Happy birthday, PC-8801 Snatcher. You were the one that showed me the concept of game world-building...
...but I will one day sell you and retire.

Yesterday I got to meet the legendary sketch comedy writer, Bob Odenkirk! And, I mean, just look at that suit...

Frasier Fantasy is three away from 10,000 downloads!
I feel more excited for this than when my Van Called Quest's odometer reached 300,000.

Every time this image is posted, Frasier Fantasy downloads get a spike. It's a pretty solid bit of graphic design!

Whenever I'm feeling down about my writing, I remember that George Lucas recommended a character be named, "Darth Icky."

Even after 2 years, I can still tell when someone mentions Frasier Fantasy on Reddit.

I just learned about The Virtual Nightclub: A 1997 game that combines point 'n click gameplay with music from Herbie Hancock and Joe Henderson?!
The 90's FMV craze was wild, man.

It still warms my heart to see people enjoying Frasier Fantasy. This person got my game running on the GameCube?!

I tend to buy the current generation's game system after the newest one is released. Everything is usually at its cheapest, and there's a robust catalog to play.
So I guess it's time to finally buy a Switch and see what all the hubbub is about!

Every episode of Fargo's like:
Female protag drinks a glass of chocolate milk.
Hitman: "Have I ever told you the history of Ovaltine?"

I bought this on Facebook Marketplace simply for the aesthetic. No regrets.

To anyone wondering the origins of Frasier Fantasy, it was inspired by a logo and box design made by Stephen Maurice Graham. Follow him for wonderful video game art!
One of the most fun mini projects I worked on was turning a fake game idea, Frasier Fantasy, into a fully realised 3D object, trying to faithfully recreate a real-feeling Gameboy game from the cartridge to the back of the box blurb. It’s a 1 of 1 art object and it’s still a thrill to look back on.

I didn't know when I started indie game dev. that I'd still be spending 75% of my time in photoshop.
