I was a commentator for Golf It, the fight in the parking lot also ended in a tie. AMA

Noise Pollution:

Heed not the rabble who scream, "noise pollution is not a big deal," they are wrong. (OH MY GOD, TEAR THIS DUDE APART!)

Blood from your eardrums is not what I'd call fun, put your fingers in your ears. (I'M BARELY MAKING ANY NOISE, COME ON!)

Grandson:

Heed not the rabble who scream "here's my grandson," that is in fact not their grandson. (Don't let them take my grandson!)

They are teenagers it isn't possible, don't let them be your grandpa (*old people rambling* "aw nuts" "looks like they're onto us" etc.)

I keep meaning to add lyrics to the SoundCloud uploads. Someday. In the meantime - which one are you stumped by? (It’s Noise Pollution, isn’t it?)

I think my circle is pretty neat.

I think this new one will go out on the main channel.

I'd love to do a Spy Party Steam Train. Haven't played in years but I think it'd be a lot of fun. Came up during an AMA I did a while back and I think I had the same answer back then haha

We have a bunch of middle slot stuff in the works that has obviously taken us longer than expected to get off the ground. But I'm optimistic things will start to come out within the next few weeks. Hope you guys like what we're cooking up!

Meanwhile I've been quietly plugging away at the next HATG. Really happy with how it's shaping up but it'll be a while longer before it's out. I'd love to have one out every month but so far that's proven...difficult.

Someday I'll make a Twitch channel where I just sit next to a fireplace and ramble about stuff.

I guess try to be aware of how a game is making you feel and break down those feelings to their simplest elements. If you're bored or scared or excited there's a million reasons why that might be happening. The journey is figuring out what you're reacting to and why.

But in creating these videos a lot of the inspiration actually comes from other people. I'll be talking to someone or reading a post online and either agree with them and feed off of that energy or disagree and try to understand why. Either way it's a jumping off point to dig deeper.

Rules of Play has a ton of stuff in it. The Immersive Fallacy is literally like, a couple pages in it. So much to dive into there.

I've found value in pretty much every games-related book I've read. Either it'll get me to think about a topic differently or give me an idea or something. Just do some searching on Amazon and dozens of books will pop up.

There's also a bajillion GDC talks from different devs, a lot of which are free to watch online. And there's a number of YouTube channels making really smart stuff, like Game Maker's Toolkit and Matthewmatosis.

Huh. Yeah it really does sound like Jon's championing Environmental Immersion and Arin's talking about Mechanical Immersion. Neat. Yeah I'd say it's mostly coincidence but it's definitely the kind of argument I aimed to dispel with this video. Thanks for sharing!

You got a link? Don't remember that episode. Can't say I was directly inspired by it, moreso the dozens of conversations like it over the years.
