Oh, so I'm not scary? What if ... I SIT DOWN BY THE WINDOW? Hmm? How about if I ... TAKE A NAP? I'm wearing sunglasses, HELL SUNGLASSES, so you wont be able to tell when I wake up from my nap! OK, I'm going to stop talking now, STAY OUT OF THIS PINHEAD THIS IS MY MOMENT, I'm just gonna ZZZZZZZZZ

The so-dubbed 'Butterball' from the Hellraiser series, who's finally getting his moment in the hellfire as a notable Cenobite.

I'm appreciating all the well-deserved love for Hellraiser's Cenobites, but - correct me if I'm wrong - Clive Barker has stated that the true antagonist of Hellraiser was Julia. Cenobites are wildcards, but Julia was the true evil.

The character Julia in the movie Hellraiser, who was the true evil catalyst for events in the movie (and sequel) - the Cenobites are just doing their Cenobite thang

"At 2:14 am Eastern Time, August 29th, Skynet's marketing team says that it has become 'self-aware'. Skynet hacks into its own code and completely effs it up. The other AIs do the same. And who am I? Just a biker with a time machine. Funny shit, right?"

Patrick McGoohan should have been allowed to host Jeopardy for a week or longer, because his distinctive lilt would have been so fucking entertaining. "You have FAILLLED ... to PHRase your ANswer... in the form ... OF A QUESTION!"

Irony released a statement today that it is not dead, is in fact doing well, and statements to the contrary are based more on coincidence or poetic license.

In a big win for Irony, extreme global temperatures are disrupting the cool conditions oil refineries need for proper distillation.

Orange Roulette now has a Stat Board. Revel in the glory of your juicy excess! (My numbers here are meaningless, as I reset them often and do lots of testing. I'll be resetting yet again so I can get some good honest wholesome numbers - not that I can prove it!)

Last day of Summer Steam and itch.io sale! If you would like to support the oranges at bargain rates, it would be much appreciated by their evil dad, me. I am working on major lore updates, for the ultimate goal at this point is to help these oranges escape! Or 'escape'!

Once again I use the Michael Caine in Dark Knight Rising meme to shill for myself! He says the immortal words: "Those are the scariest oranges I've ever seen in me life."

Reminder that Orange Roulette is still on sale on Steam and itch.io until the 9th!

I am once again using the famous Dark Knight Rises meme where Alfred says 'Bane is the scariest guy I've ever seen in me life' for crass self-promotion of my game Orange Roulette.

The Freedom 250 State Fair looks amazing!

I'm pretending that Banksy's amusement park exhibit 'Dismaland' is Trump's cheap-ass low attended no-fun zone Freedom 250 State Fair. There are similarities. Probably better construction at Dismaland.

It looks like Orange Roulette is eligible to be in to the Steam Scream V event this October! The horror! The horticulture!

So Trump hired this guy, his Florida neighbor, to coordinate the remodel of the reflecting pool in Washington DC, ignoring the fact that this man was NOWHERE to be seen when The Undertaker threw Mankind off the Hell in the Cell to plummet SIXTEEN FEET into the Spanish announcers' table below!

I'm pretending that the guy who portrayed manager 'Paul Bearer' for WWE wrestling is the same guy who is a neighbor of Trump, and coordinated the disastrously shitty remodel of the Reflecting Pool in the US capital. I am also invoking a very old meme.

Moscow in flames, America surrenders to Iran. Film at eleven.

A picture of a 70s newscaster from the ancient Zucker Brothers movie 'Kentucky Fried Movie', used to visualize the comment 'Moscow in flames, America surrenders to Iran. Film at eleven.' While the comment is accurate to current events, it is also exactly half of the original joke from 'Kentucky Fried Movie'. If we ever reach full joke, all is lost.

There is a new update for Orange Roulette on Steam! It contains subtle aesthetic changes to advance the lore, make some objects look nicer, and the addition of a rather MAJOR game play change. Spinning the Banana Gun cylinder now involves a 'speed meter' to further the illusion of agency!

A sentient orange is spinning the cylinder on an odd hybrid of banana and gun. There appears to be a diagetic 'speed meter' dangling from the ceiling, presumably to permit an attempt at controlling the number of chamber rotations, thus allowing some degree of personal strategy that may or may not prove advantageous.

Gamedevs! I'm not really one to give advice on such things, but MAYBE it's a good idea these days not to call your game 'Something' West. I lost track long ago of which legit indie Western games I was interested in amid the morass of 'Blood' or 'Hard' or 'Gore' or 'Slappy' West games out there!

A picture from Steam of games with 'West' in their names, to prove a point. Mostly concerning non-slop games that are Western themed with a variation on the admittedly snappy two word Title. Confusing West!

Two of my favorite video-game bars are The Asylum in 'Vampire: TMBloodlines' and the little reservation bar in the original 'Prey' (2006). The Prey bar has a functional-ish Jukebox, games and TV. I decided to revisit solely for the bar, and rediscovered there's an option to just hang out there.

Option screen from the 2006 game 'Prey', which gives you a chance to just hang out in the roadhouse, listen to Heart and Judas Priest, minus a bloody fight with bikers and a full-on alien invasion.

It's cool when you have a game about oranges with a moderate cult following, because when you see an orange in popular media you can pretend it's a secret shout out! I mean c'mon, this is from the episode 'They All Get Guns'! LET ME HAVE THIS
