so to add to my post back in february about how bioware has lost at least 150 years' of experience from senior staff leaving since 2015 alone, they've now fired mary kirby (long-time da writer) and lukas kristjanson, head writer of baldur's gate 1 and 2, amongst others

so let's add the people we know have been laid off to the tally. this is a bit of a different format to last time. the roles are the latest job titles i could find for them in relation to dreadwolf, with no dates since those were specifically for dreadwolf.

major credit to this thread.

lukas kristjanson (senior writer) - over 25 years experience at bioware

mary kirby (writer) - 17 years

jon renish (technical director) - 8 years

renata cronin (producer) - 9 years

andrew leung (cinematic designer) - 7 years

jen cheverie cott (producer) - 11 years

tim griffith (narrative programmer) - 11 years

amy mallon (level designer) - 7 years

cory whyte (gameplay designer) - 4 years

so we've gone from a minimum of 150 years of experience just at bioware lost, to 249 years of experience lost. and this is nine people out of 50. and all of this since 2015.

Kindle A Flame In Her Heart

December 8th, 2010

Download a brand new Los Campesinos! Christmas Song, Kindle A Flame In Her Heart, for free.

“HARK!” the herald angels sing, “the boy’s a cherub, let him be”. And you harmonised more beautifully than they could. At 8 years old I played the role of Gabriel dressed head to toe, in white denim though with less optimistic foresight.

Your lips land lightly, like Robin Redbreast’s feet in the snow, I hold you tightly like your halo’s lined with mistletoe. Thawing my heart like morning frost, falling under my feet. Oh silent night, oh lonely week

Merry Christmas I wish you were here Merry Christmas Maybe 5, 10, 15, 20 years.

Kindle a flame in her heart, kindle a flame. You’ve got to untie me from these bows, wrap your arms around me like swaddling clothes.

On the sixteenth day I opened up the window, found a lump of coal and rammed it down my stupid, greedy throat. On the seventeenth you came around, my tiny teeth had been ground down, but then you turned them back to smiles with just one kiss, now listen to this…

Produced, recorded and mixed by Tom Campesinos!. Trumpet by Tim Cronin. Mastered by Joe Burns. Many thanks to Tim and Joe for their help on this track

The Ledge #581: 2013

Generally speaking, when I do shows devoted to years of the past I go way back. Like, at the bare minimum 25 years, and as far back as 50 years. Looking at my shows from 2013, though, I decided tonight I'd do something a little different. Let's go through some of my favorite records from only ten years ago.

While I am one that believes there's great rock and roll released each and every years (despite what many of my fellow oldsters proclaim), 2013 was even better than usual. There's all sorts of lofi indie power pop from the likes of Mind Spiders, Bad Sports, and Fidlar. There's the discovery of a wonderful up and coming songwriter named Lydia Loveless. There's the second release by the reformed Superchunk (my favorite record of the year).

And, of course, there's also the return of The Replacements. Yes, this happened due to a tragedy, as Slim Dunlap had suffered a stroke the previous year. But what a joy to hear Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson quickly recording a handful of their favorite oldies. Even better was the Songs For Slim singles series which saw all kinds of Slim's friends recording their favorite Dunalp tunes.

As for this week's edition of "52 Weeks of Teenage Kicks", I once again have a band I wasn't acquainted with before. The Vamps are a UK band that formed in 2012, and over the next few years their first two records went gold in their home country. 2013 saw an EP called Can We Dance that included the live cover of "Teenage Kicks" that opens tonight's show. And like always, I must again plead with y'all for more versions of "Teenage Kicks". If you are a musician, or have any contact with artists that could record their own take on the classic, please contact me!

The Three Songs of "Insidious: The Red Door"

The first tune that grabs your attention in this horror film, directed by and starring Patrick Wilson, is a re-recorded Kevin Cronin cover of REO Speedwagon’s “Roll with the Changes.” The second is a peculiar little flourish playing on the turntable of our nightmares, this ditty by ditty dynamo Tiny Tim. And then there’s the one you have to stay through the closing credits to get to, the one…

Evil Dead Rise: ... but how fat is yo mama?

How much do you trust your gut?

There are certain people who should never trust their gut. In fact, it would benefit them, and everyone around them, if they do the exact opposite of everything their gut leads them to do. Then, there are others who can arrive at a casino, kiss their cards at the blackjack table, and stack winnings all night, you know??

I saw the trailer for "Evil Dead Rise", 

and my gut was like "Meh. Looks generic. Not for me. I'll catch it when it streams... maybe" BUT, MY gut isn't ALWAYS right (a good 90% ;), and it was, at that time, full of beer, so...

Plus, things change when you don't have to pay (which I didn't), and I do have a soft spot for a pretty smile.

Let's do this:

First of all, if some of you diehard "Evil Dead" fans are looking for nostalgia, you won't find much here.

This movie mostly takes place in an apartment, in the city, and not in a cabin. There's no Ash, 

so not as much charm to grace the scenes.

And I'd say, a lot less goofy than any of the other stories told in this franchise.

That could be good or bad for you. Idk.

We've still got The Book of the Dead though!

I'd like to chastise these people for not knowing by now that this book should be left alone, but... any of us would probably do the same thing, right??

We'd find it - "Huh.... kinda looks like that Book of the Dead people have been talking about.Can't be though, right?? That's not real. Actually looks kinda cool."

We'd see that it's made of human flesh and locked tight by sharp teeth��- 

"Oh, cool."

We'd prick our fingers on those teeth, and accidentally open this book - 

"Ouch, but kinda cool."

We'd flip through it, thinking it can't be THAT bad, as someone near us says something about having a bad feeling about this - "Yeah, me too, but still kinda cool, right?? I don't believe in any of that stuff. oh, look at this. Let's say these spooky, Latin words out loud."

*spookiness happens*

"Oh, bleep, it IS that bad. Oops. "

That's pretty much what happens here (again). This time it's a family who opens the book. They're living in the city, in a dark apartment.

I mean DARK. The light that they do have seems to be mood setting for a seance, not happy family time. This is before any dark spirits even show up. If I may pause to offer y'all some advice - Be sure not to have your home looking like a place demons would want to hang out.

I would say that every home should have a cross somewhere in it; even if you don't believe in its power: not just a cross, but some Aquafina labeled "Holy Water," or at the very least a picture of Tim Tebow, just to make any demons think twice before entering.

The shit goes down pretty quickly, and the movie has a solid pace of horror and suspense. Don't ask me why nobody seems to live on any other floors in this apartment complex, or why no one thinks to call the cops (not that they could help, but...). There ain't no tenants walking the halls, or yelling about this family being too loud. Nobody at the front desk. Not even any delivery people wandering about. A perfect place to live if you're a drug dealer or murderer; no one around to ask questions. It's pretty much this family and a couple of neighbors being witnesses to bloody screams, loud banging, and demonic possession taking place in the hallway.

Though if you peeked out of your door and saw this woman (Alyssa Sutherland), 

covered in blood. And then, saw a bunch of mutilated bodies in the hall, with some of those mutilated bodies chanting "DEAD BEFORE DAWN!"... perhaps you'd keep to yourself as well. Just put on some noise-cancelling headphones and mind yo own business.

On a technical level, there's a lot to love about this movie:

Lee Cronin was doing his thang in the director's chair. He made all of the gore and blood a delight to watch.

(ok, so maybe a lil nostalgia :)

This movie is very creepy, so big props to him.

These actors are also good. Not like Oscar-winning good :) It's not like we'll hear "And the winner for best actress goes to Alyssa Sutherland (who carried this film btw) for playing a possessed mother, trying to kill her kids." BUT, a lot of these actors have to play "normal people" and then turn around and play possessed people, and that takes some skills to be believable; especially with the younger actors. If you're a fan of gore, look no further! 

There's something that happens at the end of this movie that is artfully terrifying and still kinda fun.  Sam Raimi points for sure!

All of that being said, my gut wasn't too far off.

FOR ME, at least. My gut is for me. Honestly, I missed Ash. I missed a character with his... whatever the hell you can call it. Je ne sais quoi :) All of these characters are bland to me. But, more than that, this movie was kinda hopeless. Now, that's on me. One can't expect to find hope in a movie called "Evil Dead Rise". Fair point, but I guess I was looking for some good vs evil or some "there's still a chance" vs evil. Where are the angelic forces to balance things out? No priests around sensing any disturbances? I'm just looking for ONE person  with some sort of faith. No? Just seemed like TEAM GOOD is dropping the ball here.

Come to think of it, there IS  a priest in this movie (his audio), but his message is pretty much "Well, ya f*cked up, didn't you? Y'all doomed." What kind of priest gives sermons of despair?!

Some might say, "That's the franchise. Praphit, you just don't get it." You know what?? - you're right, and I don't want to. I'm good. i'm afraid that if I end up "getting it" that someone looking like "Mama Smiley" will show up and drag me away.

It's ok not to get things.

Just not for me. If you can say out loud "I just want pure gruesome killing and gore that leaves a taste of unholiness in my mouth for days to come.", then have I got a movie for you. You should probably sit with that declaration for a while :) but afterwards, quickly run to the theaters to see this movie, and declare it your film of the year.

I like demonic possessed killings as much as the next person, but mix it up.

You know that comedian who's known for telling dirty jokes?? I like them too, but I like a lil blend: some knock-knock jokes, some relational humor, and maybe some comments about how fat somebody's mama is.... and then get back to the dirty. I'm cool with that. You can't just give me a river of perversion though :) BUT, some people like that. Some people want to bathe in that river. To each their own, I suppose.

Two grades:

Grade B for you soulless gore-lovers out there, and a generous C,  for the rest of us God-fearing people in the audience :)

There was so much blood at the end of this movie that I couldn't tell the characters apart. They were just red people (I have to admit, I like that :) But, so much gross action was happening in the movie that it literally spilled over into reality. Someone vomited right outside of the theater doors.I don’t know if it was due to the movie or if someone couldn’t hold their liquor, but still...

So much of the demonic, that I craved purity when I walked out. Like being dehydrated on a hot Summer day, longing for water. I needed something pure to cling to. I could see that some others who were walking out needed comfort as well. It was a Saturday, but I bet some of them sped off to church. It was weird, because I felt a glowing appreciation for the blood-soaked art that I just watched (I mean that. A lot of cool parts!), and yet I felt so unclean. All I wanted to do was go home, take a shower, and snuggle up next to my picture of Tim Tebow.

mildly interesting tidbit: tim wright (who’d been promoted at the end of 2019) was brought back to engineer nico h’s first race filling in for checo at silverstone. but they switched back to chris on comms for silverstone 2

[labete-du-gevaudan]

I’m once more looking for book and podcast suggestions since I burn through them so quickly at work. 

Last time I asked here, I was introduced to my current favorite author, M.R. Carey, and my favorite book, The Girl With All The Gifts.

I have 7 audible credits because I just listen to the same books over and over again.

For nonfiction, I really enjoy history and memoirs of interesting or lesser known sorts of things. Like cults, betrayals, mysteries, interesting topics that you wouldn't think to learn about, etc. Ex of things I loved: And The Sea Will Tell by Vincent Bugliosi, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty, and Raven by Tim Reiterman.

For fiction stuff: I’ve mostly been into things that are like post apocalyptic like The Passage by Justin Cronin. But I also enjoy things like the Redwall series by Brian Jacques and The End of the Day by Claire North.

As for Podcasts, I’m really more picky. I prefer nonfiction ones that don’t have banter and it’s just telling me facts about things. True Crime is easiest to find. Like @morbidology. I also enjoy Parcast’s podcasts, Crimelapse, and Dateline. But I also like interesting history and memoir type things.

Feel free to suggest anything!
