I really liked Old Skies. I was seriously impressed. I was left with a lot of questions in a way that was satisfying and not frustrating. They threaded the needle so well and the whole cast acted their butts off

Old Skies is one of the best games of the year, and easily the most under-appreciated.

Been painting and renovating a new house and falling being on basically everything. Apologies to, well, everyone. But on the plus side, I discovered Frog tape and man that stuff is a frigging revelation. Wish I discovered it three painted rooms ago.

I often think about how 3 key video game writers shaped how I think about stories and characters. So, shout out to them:
- Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, Psychonauts)
- Ragnar Tørnquist (The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Dustborn)
- Dave Gilbert (Blackwell Series, Unavowed, Old Skies)
