I don’t know what to say. Hotel Infinity just won the Immersive Reality Technical Achievement award at DICE. It’s certainly a top highlight of my career - and I want to sincerely thank our entire team - too many to tag. Just - wow.

This is a reminder that my VR game Hotel Infinity came out recently. It was quite interesting to work on and we produced a pretty unique and interesting roomscale experience. If you've got a Quest or PSVR2 headset, definitely grab a copy and let me know what you think! hotelinfinityvr.com

Hotel Infinity comes out tomorrow for Meta Quest & PS VR2
It is a roomscale VR experience where you explore a vast environment simply by walking. Every step you take in real life moves you through the game, and no teleportation and joystick movement is required.

This feature on a website and product like this is not "act now before it sells out" but more like "you and 9 other sad humans are shopping online for mundane stuff". I hope they're having more fun than I am.

Happy Gilmore 2 is a worthy sequel. Sure, I’m a Sandler fanboy, and mostly it’s a guilty pleasure, but it was an entertaining return to a Happy Place. I’d watch it again.

The affordable google cloud VMs all default to around 4Gb of RAM. It should pop up an error when you try to set a boot disk to any version of Windows without adjusting that. Imagine setting that up and trying to run Unity...

Watched the recently released Snow White. I had super low expectations based on overall reception, but it was far worse than I was prepared for. There is no live action Disney remake anywhere near as bad as this one. I honestly can't think of a worse remake. Unsure why this was made.

Recently watched the new How to Train Your Dragon. It's a great story because it matches the original animated version nearly beat for beat. The original animation is better in every way - though the new Toothless looks fantastic. Unsure why this was made.

Plan the train route for the world’s spookiest theme park! Pick up the monsters & drop them at their destinations. But be careful! Don’t let them bite the passengers or you’ll have a grave problem.

Went to our Hands Off protest in South Royalton VT. Couple hundred people there and a speaker that was at Selma Civil Rights marches! Pretty amazing turnout for our town of around 2,700. Bonus inclusion of the Gilmore Girls intro Gazebo.

Katamari Damacy Rolling Live on Apple TV with a controller feels every bit as good as the other games in the series. Definitely recommend it to fans (iOS version supports a controller too).
