I GOT CAST ON SURVIVOR! (Be Careful What You Wish For...)
BUDDHA and the S**T
Yes, it's true: I WAS cast on Survivor. Season 39 in fact. But, as is often the cast in my Charlie Brown football-kicking history..? CBS execs changed the format plan last minute, and I got the call to UNpack my bags. That said, maybe I dodged a bullet...?

GAME WRITER HUSTLE: The Writing Test (IE: How Studios Get You Doing Free Dev Work)
BUDDHA and the S**T
I've been a game writer and interactive narrative guy, in some capacity or another, since 1997. 23 YEARS. Let that sink in for a minute. And even with all of that experience, I still get asked -- more often than not these days -- to do a writing test. Why?
info_outline
As I plunk away on the next volume in The Shadowland Saga during rare moments of 'free time' (HA!), I began to think:
What if I narrated the audiobook edition myself?
I was truly spoiled with the great David Kaye's contributions on The Cat's Maw, but let's face it — he's a busy (and expensive) man. And if I've learned anything during this podcast romp the past two years, it's that maybe, just maybe, my voice doesn't suck as much as I thought it did. Think of it being akin to body dysmorphia, but for vocal chords — I clearly can't trust my opinion, 'cause I have nearly five decades of bias.
So here we are...the first draft prologue for Book 2 for your greedy little ears, and me behind the mic. Some classic TT tunes as well. And I honestly want to know what you think...
SHOULD I DO THIS OR NOT?
