  • Thoughts From Montréal 2

    Another Blues Podcast
    In the most political ThoughtsCast episode since Thoughts From After the Election, Pete, Arjuna, and RoboG react to Cornel West's run for President. Because they can't talk about politics on just one side of the US-Canada border, they also discuss the leadership race for co-spokeswoman of Québec Solidaire (QS) and the three candidates who are running: Christine Labrie (who represents the same Sherbytown from Thoughts From Sherbytown in Quebec's parliament), Emilise Lessard-Therrien, and Ruba Ghazal (who represents the neighborhood Pete records in). Since Pete can be a member of QS even though he isn't a citizen yet, he gets to decide whether to get involved in the party and who to support in this race. This episode still has all of the themes you've come to expect from ThoughtsCast, like ketchup Cheetos, cheese omelettes, and alt-J parodies.
    Pete compiled so many links for the description that it needs its own separate Google Doc, which you can check out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eJ8ATyV37IVqPWnU_tvFLL80qorp-ukKNg_GKZ2vQLA/edit?usp=sharing

  • Thoughts From Montréal

    A Blues Podcast 

    Pete, Arjuna, and the RoboGonzales 9001 have finally made the big move to Montréal and their new apartment in the neighborhood of Mile-By-God-End (the By God is very important, and most people forget it), where Pete works for a small indie studio nobody has heard of called Ubisoft.  In this episode, they talk about life in Canada, their future plans, and have a very important confrontation with a certain politician's digitized conscioussness.  If you don't listen to anything else in this episode, check out the segment starting at 22:20, especially if you live in the US or the UK.

      • Thoughts From the Level Editor 3: Of Particle Effects and Twerking

        Vive le twerk! 

        Arjuna, Pete, and a very Francophone RoboGonzales return for a new update on La Mésaventure Sacrée (Tentative English title: Sparkling Swear Quest).  They talk about the new particle effects, upgrading the project to Unreal Engine 5, and Pete's French progress.  Plus there's something about camembert cheese and kernel-level anti-cheat.

        This Time It's Unreal
