Marvel’s Deadpool VR launched yesterday.
As my friend Noah says, games are never finished, they merely escape containment.
It’s been an honor to work on this title with an iconic character and our amazing team at Twisted Pixel Games.

This is a great video on the Dropout ARG, and it explains more than a few things I didn't know because the playerbase...creatively circumvented it, at the time.

I finally wrote about the big Minecraft ARG that's been making the rounds!
If it was just a King in Yellow adaptation, I probably wouldn't have spent the weekend diving in. But I'm a sucker for a story that's a matryoshka doll of unreliable narrators, with an "ARG explainer" video as top layer.

Do I know anyone who I could commission to make a pig mask for a horror film?
Looking specifically something that feels somewhat handmade, rough around the edges, almost thrown together with found objects. If this is your area, please reply or DM me!
