Steven Moffat once observed that you can sustain a creative person with sunlight and a cabbage field, and I loved that.

Power's back! AMA over. Don't even THINK about A'ing M a question about A, because it won't get an answer!

It's difficult for me to take anything Whitney Cummings says seriously. She once laid into me, a physically disabled person, for not applauding to her satisfaction during a show. 🙃

Not as much as it could have sucked! We're sitting with candles playing video games. @mandyqueersolid.bsky.social is playing Arkham Asylum on her Steamdeck, I'm experiencing choice paralysis on my Switch.

Grief is hard and you should be kinder to yourself.

Not me, though! I'm a trash human and I'm going to let it crush me into a tiny cube.

My cover illustration for the game Space Jam a New Legacy, which I also art directed and animated #art Character sheet #art Screenshot from a pitch for a TMNT point-and-click adventure game featuring April o Neil as a mystery investigator Isometric pixelart illustration for Minecraft, while I was working at Mojang. This is meant to show off the world and it's thrills. It lives in the how-to-play section in-game

This is the only episode that is a mostly-straight adaptation of the original comic story. I took the opportunity to make some lore changes to why Leads can travel to parallel universes without creating tons (which actually opened up some story stuff that we'll touch on in season 2!).

It's definitely something I've kept in mind as we've recorded more episodes.

When I originally recorded Llewellyn for this episode, my delivery was a lot more flat and Arnold Rimmer-y - not far from my performance in the 2015 version. @amtrax.bsky.social and Dino encouraged me to re-record this one and put a bit more life into my performance. So glad I did.

1.1 - Training Day

I think I've rewritten this one more than anything else I've done in my entire career: The original unproduced TV version for the BBC, the webcomic version, the 2015 audio pilot, another unproduced version for TV, and the 2023 audio version.

21. Sensible World of Soccer

I've spent my life chasing a soccer game that I enjoyed as much as I loved SWOS. It doesn't exist. This is where soccer games peaked. Fans still make updates to this day!
A screenshot from what appears to be Sensible World of Soccer '96/97, which is probably the last version I played regularly.

There's not a lot of Doctor Who smut out there. Not through official channels, at least...

This is your annual reminder that the Synthesis version of "Bring Me to Life" is superior to the original version in every conceivable way.
