hey kids!

posted an abridged version of this on discord and youtube, but here's a more fleshed-out schedule for uploads in the next few months!

• up soon

  • [ blockbuster block party ] - in the 90s, blockbuster tried to build their own 'entertainment complex' chain a la chuck e cheese. suffice to say, didn't work out to well, and now we can talk about exactly why this was.

• on deck

  • [ the entombed maze algorithm ] - probably a really short one; there exists a game for the NES called Entombed which contains a bizarre maze-generation algorithm that works in a strange sort of way

• in the hole

  • [ the second life herald ] - really fun one for people into history / internet culture. during the heyday of the virtual world game secondlife, there existed a tabloid that, at the time, received national news coverage. this one will draw partially from a book written on the subject, and might feature research and/or writing from a special guest writer :]
