stuff by ian
I’ve been so excited about these new bumpers that I commissioned from my friend @NickolaiBoulton, and now I can finally show them off. These should start showing up in my streams and at the end of my videos. There’s both a widescreen and fullscreen variant, and I think both of them look pretty slick. Hope you like them!
holy shit he brought backup

this guy took a massive dump on my shed
i just watched my boyfriend play through Kings Quest VI, and one of the songs from the OST will just not get out of my head.
i can’t stop listening to it.
it’s a short, simple, somber song, and the fact that it was hard to track down and seems to be all but forgotten to time got me thinking about how creative works can fall out of being relevant so quickly. i hope there’s always going to be people who like to dig around for the obscure stuff.
anyway, i just had to bring at least a little attention back to this haunting tune.
it’s been forever, but I finally have a new drawing to share over on my art page!
Despite being the medium that I’ve been dabbling in the longest, I think sharing my drawings is the most stress-inducing thing. terrifying.
I joined some pals on their hit podcast Goosebuds to talk about the book “Return to Horrorland”! It was a ton of fun, and a pretty new experience for me. I’d never read a Goosebumps book before, and I rarely go on podcasts, so hopefully I did alright!
Here’s where you can find the episode:

don’t be afraid if things look out of place in the next couple of however-how-longs, i’m just tinkering with the site and updating things.
if something looks broken or out of date you can let me know here.
it’s been a little while since i used this blog, but here i am!
how’s it going out there?
After taking a long break, I finally feel refreshed and ready to Tweet again. I really enjoyed my time away – un-plugging from socials was great rest for my mind grapes and I highly recommend it. Now that I feel like I’ve got my head back on straight, though, I really miss farting around over there! So that’s what I’ll be doing. Lots of flatulence. https://twitter.com/brutalmoose
Other than that, I’m really just trying to get all the plates spinning again! I’m feeling really good and really motivated video-wise, I think that 2022 is going to bring in some high quality brutalmoose & brutalfoods videos. I hope you guys have enjoyed my latest 3 videos in particular. I really feel like something clicked in my brain meats while I was working on the Arcade video & Twilight review, and suddenly I found myself back on track. Really happy with those videos, and really excited for my future ones!
I need to figure out Twitch, too, because I want to stream more regularly but (clearly) have had a hard time getting in the groove and making it work since dialing up my video-making process. No excuses for this, I just need to start experimenting and find out what works for me. I’ve been watching more streams just in general lately to try and stoke those inspiration flames, and I think it’s working! So hopefully only a matter of time.
Hope you guys have been doing rad lately! In non-work news, I’ve been playing a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel and Shenmue in my free time. I’m running a Gravekeeper’s deck in Master Duel, and I just made it to Kowloon in Shenmue II last night. Trying to mentally decide if Myst or Shenmue is my favorite video game series, now. It’s a real tough choice.
