Hi there, I'm Sam! I'm a married, autistic, 35-year-old dad of two and...
I'm developing an indie game, Crisis Island: store.steampowered.com/app/2311560/...
I have a pretty cool YouTube gaming channel: www.youtube.com/@WebstersYou...
And I like to think I can draw!
Let's be friends!
We thought there should be a definitive podcast about Sonic, chronologically tracking through the 90s and letting you relive (or first-live) a childhood in those days, with all really good editing and music and features and guests and stuff, so we did.
It's nearly over:

In 2002, Samus finally entered the 3D landscape. And so did the Metroids. And the Space Pirates. And Ridley—fuck, everyone's here. Time for another mission. Let's look back on the original Metroid Prime!

I had the great delight of illustrating a Kapellosaur Amy and Tekno strip for the SonicConUK convention comic! Some familiar STC faces, and one new arrival~

This issue is infamous. In issue 88, Future Shock Part 3 accidentally reused the lettering from the previous page. They apologised in issue 91 but the story wasn't reprinted until issue 209... at which point they botched the bleed and crop margins!
Here's my sloppy attempt at combining it all.
Issue 209 of Sonic The Comic has been scanned at 600 DPI and is available on the Internet Archive. This issue features the corrected version of the Future Shock story with the lettering in the right places.
It will be available for download on the STC Scans website soon.

I think this means that every original story has now been scanned and the only gaps we have are reprinted stories. 😮 Huge community effort, especially sourcing that last page of Poster Mag 7.
All nine issues of Sonic The Poster Mag have now been fully re-scanned, archived at 600 DPI and are all available to download in different resolutions as CBZ files from the STC Scans website.

Well well, look where we found ourselves this time! 🌓
We had three hours with the game STRANGER THAN HEAVEN! For now, here's a picture with the incredibly talented director of the game: Mikinobu Abe! 👏
And ofcourse, thank you @guillotine.agency and @sega-west.bsky.social for the invite!
It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE!
Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months.
A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA
Resident Evil: Requiem made more money from PlayStation discs than on Xbox in total, reportedly, as Sony's march to a discless future continues

I'm seeing trends with video games, toys, comics, etc. where they're now targeting adult collectors with a household income of $100,000 or more.
They're pricing out one of their biggest audiences, kids, seemingly to sell less volume at a higher margin, but that means no future adult fans to sell to
BREAKING: A new report claims that Xbox expects its next-generation console to cost as much as $1,800 and is currently targeting a 2028 release. A new handheld is also rumored to launch next year.

I'm currently enjoying this video series I'm making that looks at up and coming indie games with awesome art and animation.
Here's my third video in this series:

The medication seems to be working. I'm starting to feel a little better in myself, but we're not in the clear yet. I have another appointment in 2 weeks and a blood test at the start of November. Surgery is still on the table for one of the issues.
I'm slowly returning to being active online.
Quick update: I had an appointment last week where we made a few changes, including medications, and set some things up, as well as chasing a referral. I have a follow-up appointment on Wednesday.
Thanks for the well wishes. I'll be back when this is all sorted out.
This is likely my last contribution to the Rescan Project because I've run out of issues I own which we haven't already scanned!
It's been an absolute joy working alongside @lewiswake.bsky.social@folkus85.bsky.social and the other contributors we've had helping us. Really proud of the results.
The Eternal Champions Special has been scanned at 600 DPI and is available on the Internet Archive.
It's also live and downloadable from the STC Scans website.

I am taking a step back from YouTube, game development and the Internet in general for a bit.
There's a full explanation on my Patreon, but the short version is that I'm dealing with compounding physical and mental health issues that I need to address before continuing to engage online.

Brace yourself for two titanic tales. Will Sonic-Man be able to win the affection of the real Sonic?! Are Sonic and Sally truly an item?!

Since @fluffy-wolfe.bsky.social's Itchy/Tasty fanzine is out here's my Barry Burton piece. Really fun to draw him and a priviledge to be part of the zine!
October 4 1997, Star Fox 64 debuted on the N64 in PAL territories as Lylat Wars!
Besides the title change, the PAL version contains an option to not only change the language but also to change the speech to Lylat, which sounds a lot like Animal Crossing Animalese...but is actually just nonsense!
My piece for the 4 / / Itchy. Tasty. zine! Huge thanks to @fluffy-wolfe.bsky.social for putting it all together, as well as all the amazing artists who contributed!

Both a surprisingly fun Roguelite campaign and a racing treat for Criterion fans, Star Wars: Galactic Racer gives sci-fi royalty the Burnout treatment - and it's just wonderful stuff.
