The audio production of my self-referential slasher story, "No Signal," has been released by @lunaticsproject.bsky.social. The story is a twist on the common trope of someone in the woods trying to call for help, only to realize that “There’s no signal out here!” warrenbenedetto.com/2025/11/18/l...

I just found out that SIE launched Project Shindig yesterday. I worked on this project in its infancy back in 2020, long before it got its name. @landon.wtf and I spent so many long days during the pandemic dreaming up what it could be, and I'm so proud of where it went. projectshindig.com

If you signed up for Project Shindig and already got in off the waitlist, this weekend is a great time to give it a try. On your laptop, create a room, invite some friends, and play some games together. If you haven't signed up yet, now's your chance! projectshindig.com?utm_source=s...

Me and my team at SIE made a fun thing that you should totally check out. It combines video chat with casual party games, to help you stay connected to your favorite people when you can't be together in person. projectshindig.com?utm_source=s...
