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.

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here » 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.

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here » 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! COMMENTS

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here » 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! COMMENTS

Sorry for the short notice on this one. Ask questions or topics to discuss here for the next videochat with fans on 2pm EST on April 7th at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. I'm hoping to have a new video out before the chat!

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here » Here's the next Freeman's Mind episode, at long last! I never meant for there to be this long a delay since the last one. Being sick accounted for a significant portion of it, I also lost a bunch of time related to legal paperwork I had to take care of (which is still ongoing), the rest I'm still not sure what happened. This one definitely had some more behind the scenes work on it than usual I originally thought about making this a shorter episode, but seeing as how it was so long since the last one, I decided to make it a longer one instead. Work will resume soon on the next one! COMMENTS

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here » Dead Game News returns! This is the new format I mentioned in the previous episode. While it's less fact-dense than before, I think overall people will find this much more watchable than the old format; much more effort was put into it writing and production-wise. This is another case where even if you know the news I'm reporting, I think you'll hear stuff from me on it that you won't hear elsewhere. Next video should be Freeman's Mind! COMMENTS

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here » Here's the March videochat. No special announcements this time, just more videos coming! Expect a new one tomorrow, with the next Freeman's Mind following ASAP after that, though I can't exactly predict when. My plan is at least one Game Dungeon and FM2 episode in addition to that, work on a couple other videos and just videos, videos, videos for this month! I was told there was some popping in the audio this time. I'm not sure if it's there in the recording, but if you have ideas on it, you're welcome to let me know. It was recorded using a USB DAC.

The next videochat with fans will be at 2pm EST on March 4th at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. As a reminder, this one is 2 hours earlier than the usual times. You can ask questions / comments you'd like for me to talk about here. I'm frankly embarrassed I don't have a new video for you yet, but I've been working on a couple simulatenously, one of which is the Freeman's Mind. The next FM will be a longer episode since I figure I owe you guys at least that much. All I can do is just keep working on them, though I won't be cutting my sleep for these. Expect several videos for March!

This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here » I finally got a time for the other event I'm entering in for the GOG Winter Games thing they're having. This is a competitive event I was invited to where I stream playing a game against other streamers and if I score well then people who sign up have increased odds of getting a prize, as I understand it so far. Here is the signup option, pick "Arstotzka" if you want to bet on me to try and get you free games. The next game is Unreal Tournament for February 24th at 1pm EST with me at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. You can also view all the contestants with e-sports style commentary at twitch.tv/gogcom. My stream will be uploaded to the Accursed Farms Junk channel afterward. I don't know how it's going to go or what the format will be. If it's deathmatch, I'm only a so-so player. If it's onslaught, I'll definitely do some damage. Last time I did streaming with GOG, I think there was a fundamental miscommunication with how it would work, so it was a little chaotic, because people were talking at the same time I was planning to. This time, the idea is strangers will be talking on the stream before and in between rounds, but I'll have things muted and talk to the audience while the game is going. It's still a little bit disorienting to me, I guess this is why I'm not a professional streamer. On that note, I'm sorry to say Freeman's Mind (and another video I'm working on) is running late, due mainly to complications I'm having with paperwork involved with staying in the country. I'm pretty sure I'll get it sorted out, but it's eaten up days of my time (I've had to visit the foreigner office 5 times in the past week and I'm still not done). Normally I would cancel a streaming event like this and just continue working on the videos to get them out sooner, but since this involves other people and prior commitments, I'm going through with it. The release time for both videos is as soon as possible, but realistically it will probably be early March. More videos! COMMENTS
