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.

That Darby and Mox segment is one of the best I've seen in ages. This match is going to be brutal.

👀 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.

Shaun Jex @makeminemusic.bsky.social · 2d

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.

Shaun Jex @makeminemusic.bsky.social · 2d

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?
