And then I like

made a video writing into a video essay about the game and I've like now done so much work thinking and writing and talking about mixtape over the last week that I feel like I have to make it my one more thing but I guess it's partly just to say if you would like to read extended thoughts from me or listen to extended thoughts from me in a video essay on YouTube you can do so and we'll put links for that down in the show notes um

But I'll also make this game my one more thing, just as a one more thing, only tangentially related to the writing that I've done about it.

So Mixtape is a game from an Australian developer based out of Melbourne called, I should say Melbourne.

Melbourne.

I get crap about how I pronounce Melbourne.

I think some Australians get weird about it.

An Australian indie studio.

They say Melbourne, but I'm not going to do that because I don't have an Australian accent.

Kirk, you can't piss off the Australians.

No, I know.

There's a very core constituency for much of my creative output.

So Beethoven and Dinosaur is based out of Melbourne.

Their last game was called The Artful Escape, which is also like a music game that I actually did not play, even though it's kind of up my alley.

And I don't know why I didn't play it.

I just didn't.

It kind of missed me.

It kind of passed me by.

So this game came out and I started getting emails from people who'd played it saying, dude, you have to play this game.

It's totally up your alley.
