Thank you so much to Dundee for having me as your host for @gamestalkslive.bsky.social! I get nervous every time before I host/talk, then immediately remember that I love being on stage. I had the best time - got off stage and immediately wanted to do it again!

Apparently I’ve made my print debut? Me and Dan wrote all about our ventures in Paris researching for our upcoming Les Miserables point and click, and it’s in the latest issue of Debug! Very cool moment as someone who’s been a fan of gaming magazines since I was just a wee guy collecting ONM!

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Kamek turns invisible whenever he teleports. By removing the invisibility, we can see that he is actually compressed to a thin line and stored in this spaghettified form in the game's memory until he reappears in a different spot.
