The hilarious hidden-camera pranks of the Stokes brothers got their own Netflix show--appropriately titled, "Stokes Twins!"--which I had a blast performing the Audio Description for! My kindest regards to Netflix and Iyuno! #AudioDescription #StokesTwins #Netflix #Iyuno #PrankVideoComedy
(IMAGE ID: Against a setting sun, a four-story, modern white house with glass walls rests on a beach. One of the Stokes twins, wearing a blue bathing suit, is translucent against the setting sun. Behind a raised metallic trap door with grass on the top, one of the Stokes twins, clad in a red shirt, raises a finger to his lips as if to to shush the audience. The other Stokes twin, in a blue shirt, points directly into the camera.)

That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Today, 268 dedicated video game workers lost their livelihoods as XBOX continues to put profits ahead of the workers who are the heart and soul of the platform's games. CWA does not expect today's layoffs to impact union-represented workers.

Sure, I liked games before this, but my "origin" game? Final Fantasy VII. I'd literally ask to be woken up early on school days to get some playtime in. Which is why I was over-the-moon happy about being in "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth"...even if Cloud slaughtered me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkb7...

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more
“We really started mobilizing as one Blizzard unit in [the] last couple of months, and I think that really helped put the pressure on,” Paul Cox, senior game designer on World of Warcraft, told Aftermath.
"I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment."
Prior to spring of this year, the WoW team, which unionized in 2024, had gotten the lion's share of bargaining time. Other units found themselves stuck in the mud. Higher-ups were effectively stalling the whole process—unfortunately nothing new for unionized workers under Microsoft’s umbrella.
"For this whole year of bargaining on the Diablo side—and I imagine on the rest of the units as well—we received so few [bargaining] dates, but we kind of had the understanding that whatever WoW was able to win would at least influence and set the floor for the rest of our units,” Diablo senior environment artist Mahreen Fatima told Aftermath. “We adopted this messaging about how WoW's wins are our wins, so we should be out there mobilizing with them. But truly, I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment this last month to finally be able to say, 'OK, yes, we are willing to extend this contract to everyone.' We really did not have any indication that we could get this done until last month."

I’m not Nostradamus, so I could be wildly, wildly wrong here, and I’ll be the first to say that. However, this producer’s observation points to one of the reasons I don’t think AI animation will be successful in the long run: anybody can do it. Therefore, it’s fake, boring, and not special.

So, in the SAG-AFTRA video game strike of 2016--not the most recent one--SAG-AFTRA attempted to codify residuals to voice actors for games. The game companies--predictably--fought back against that. What was interesting, though, was the behind-the-scenes talk of *why* they fought back. <cont'd>

"Memories are a tricky thing when you're here forever...you know when you breathe onto glass, and it fogs? That's how I like it in my mind." This was the line that got me most excited about playing Dorian. Immortality would actually be a rather *sad* thing if you stopped to think <cont'd>

(HEADS-UP: Language, references to CSA) Brandon McInnis gave the performance of a lifetime in this dub. I got to listen to this dub as it was being made (via a remote viewing platform that I half-jokingly say has "86-factor authentication"), and it became *immediately* clear to me why he was cast.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

When writing dub scripts, I'm *very* careful not to make up "new lines" unless it's necessary (like, as in this case, if the translation labels a line indecipherable.) Since the translation couldn't decipher it, and Shorter was talking about Instagram in the previous line, I thought... #BananaFish
A screenshot of "Banana Fish" playing on the dub audio track with the closed captions on. A pickup truck drives a long a palm tree-lined road, with a woman in super-short jean shorts walking by. The caption reads out a line from Shorter Wong as he calls out to her. "If you're ever in New York, hit me up! My handle's @ShortieMcMoreWhores..."
