Not at all, but I hope you get to have some silly time to yourself tonight. Even if it's something small like making up a song. I have enough for an album that I made up about my dog poopin'

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.

Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

Sign the petition to stop it. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

I'm sorry to hear you're frustrated. I hope you get to whatever goal you've set for yourself.

We all dig you regardless. Just sayin'

Ps. Did those rights ever revert back to you from the Rogue Pictures Hack/Slash deal? I still would love to see that comic on the big screen!

I was also lucky enough to attend the premiere of the Ash vs the Evil Dead show at the Chinese Theater in LA (my first time going to something there). They gave out foam chainsaw hands and threw a concert with Iggy Pop on Hollywood Blvd (which they shut down for the occasion).

Agreed, awesome dude.

He was one of the first real celebrities I met before getting into the industry. I still have my signed copies of "If Chins Could Kill" and foam Necronomicon edition of "Evil Dead" on DVD from when I met him at a combo book signing/screening.
