The messages I’ve been receiving since receiving the Game Changer Award have been incredible. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It’s overwhelming.
They also reinforce what I’ve been feeling since we started posting classic episodes of our shows:
I think the videogame industry could really benefit from The Electric Playground going back into full production and onto screens everywhere.
I need a small collection of sponsors. We won’t be huge or expensive. (We’re Canadian) I want a 2-year runway so I can hire a small team and get to work.
Game developers, talk with your marketing partners. Marketers, reach out. You all have my email. Help me make this happen. Don’t wait for a broadcaster/streamer to try and figure out how to create this concept. It’s been 10 years since EP left the airwaves and there is still no show like it on Earth. (But hey if you are broadcaster that wants to talk about licensing EP, lmk)
The plan is simple. I want to make the best show about videogames on the planet. I want our people to visit studios. Interview developers. Review games. Attend events. Have fun. Get good info. Blast that cool material everywhere. We’ve done it before. We can do it again.
It’s time for some fun, well produced and informed news about the videogame industry. It’s time to celebrate creativity and inspire future generations of players and game creators. It’s time to put the people that really care about this industry back into the spotlight.
No toxic grifters allowed.
I won’t waste your time, your money or our trust with the viewers.
Thanks for reading, sharing and pushing for this with me. It’d be great to collaborate with an awesome team again and make an entertainment show about the most exciting entertainment that humans make.❤️

What is up with this terrible app man? It's a hate machine I guess. 🤷♂️
Anyway this post has many more views on Threads, Insta and Bluesky. Lotta smiles. I think it's pretty joyful and unique. Because that moment was. But that ain't what this place is about.
🚨BREAKING: After videos of Tylor Chase, a former child actor who appeared on the Nickelodeon series Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, surfaced on social media, Mighty Ducks star Shaun Weiss posted that he is offering to help Chase and is asking for the public’s assistance in locating him.
“I reached out to some friends of mine, and we have a bed for him at a detox, and we have a place for him to go and get long-term treatment.”
Please spread the word so Tylor can get the help he desperately needs.
Recent comment on EP Classic S4E8 from 2000.
I’ve talked with game industry vets about this. The story of the creative passion and the inspiring, human optimism that it takes to create modern videogames is being drowned out by toxicity.
We’re letting negativity-hungry algorithms dictate what (busy, entertainment-saturated) people find out and then know about games.
ie “Too expensive” / “Development is Hell” / “Woke” / “Not Woke” / “Micro-Transactions” / “No More Exclusives” / “Broken At Launch” / etc.
And that sucks.
I miss visiting game studios every week and seeing the joy and hope in people’s faces. I think fans of the medium do too.
