I have a sort of new video for you. Several months back, Tom White (from Weird Videogames) met composer Alexander Brandon at a convention and set up an interview with him to which I was invited to. We proceeded to ask him a bunch of questions, Tom was in possession of the footage and has finally edited it all together and put it up on his channel. The interview ended up being more technical than I anticipated, so it may not be for everyone, but some may find it interesting. For those that find it too dry, Tom also put together his own special edit here that you might like more.

For those that don’t know, Alexander Brandon is one of my favorite composers and has done fantastic work for games like Tyrian, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, along with lots of other music. He was a lot of fun to talk to and exudes this personality like there’s no stopping him. Also since he was the audio director on Deus Ex: Invisible War, I got to ask him what happened with the music direction for that game (that part is towards the end). Also, when we interviewed him, he was currently available for composing music for game creators. I don’t know his rates, but if you’re working on a game, it’s possible you could hire him to compose music for it. I think he mentioned his contact information in the video (also towards the end), but it’s been several months since I did this, so I don’t remember for certain.

All in all, he was a cool guy, his music is still great, and I think I would enjoy his unrestrained vision of the original Unreal.

Here’s an update on the current drought of videos. The simple version is things haven’t stabilized, but I might be making progress maybe. I’m hoping to have some real videos in the near future, but it’s still going to be a rocky path for a while.

All videos are on hold due to a domestic crisis I’m having! Playsessions and videochat sessions are all cancelled until further notice. I honestly don’t know when this is going to resolved, but I do intend to return once my living situation has stabilized. Sorry about this, I’m not happy about it either!

Here’s the special Earth Day episode of Game Dungeon! This is arriving MUCH later than I wanted it to, but managed to make it happen USA time in any event (I did not save the Earth European time for the most part). Trying to make this deadline took a lot out of me, but I sort of made it! In any event, the episode came out pretty well.

Next up will be Freeman’s Mind, but no current estimates as far as when. More stuff coming!

Here is the much-delayed next Game Dungeon! I’m not happy with how long this one ended up taking to make, but I think this is a good baseline episode. Game Dungeon can stray into different territories, but this is more or less the standard I want to keep it at. It’s not necessarily the best episode, but it’s very Ross’s Game Dungeon. Assuming I don’t wreck all my time estimates again, another Game Dungeon and more Freeman’s Mind should be coming this month!
