After making a mistake yesterday, I got to clean it all up today. Learning new software is quite a challenge, but one of the best ways to learn is through those mistakes. Now is a good time for a real-life “Second Chance” button, or maybe hitting Ctrl+Z a few times, but like Nancy, we’ve got […]

I’ve been doing some searching for old art while listening to some familiar game music. It got me thinking about some of the cool extras that are found in a few of the games, particularly the “sounds”. Not the game music, but the music and advertisements in the games such as the radio in The […]
