I signed up for the wait list for the Steam controller when it was released, but hadn't heard anything since. When getting on the list for the Frame last night, I thought to check on the controller, and it just gave me a link to get on the list again.

'That's odd' I thought, so I went back through my email and lo and behold, there was an email on the 7th of July that I'd missed. Bugger.

I got on to support to ask if I could get my request reinstated it or whether I'd have to start over. They got back to me saying that as a courtesy, they'd re-initiate my request, but I'd have to wait until the next release. 'Fair enough', I though, and resigned myself to waiting.

Cue to a couple of hours later, and I get the email to confirm my purchase. Sold! Should be here in a week or two.

Well done, Steam support.

UPDATE: It arrives on Monday.

Classic show.

This is a great channel in general. I recommend watching more of their videos.

He's not even a real hamster!

A short clip from their 'Not Suitable For Children' show. I see they're touring the States with 'The Distraction'. If you get the chance, I highly recommend it. I saw it last year, and it's sheer brilliance.

Good video about the death of ownership. I highly recommend this channel in general.

One of my all-time favourite video clips. Not-Jeff Goldblum's (psychologist) deadpan "It's very engaging. I'm enjoying this song a lot." gets me every time.

Some top-notch crowdwork here. Love Tommy.

Here's a good singalong number. Currently learning to play it on my uke.

It's weird where you find new music sometimes. I was stumbling around Steam and this track came up in a trailer for an obscure VR only excavator simulator that was bundled with another game I was looking at. One Shazam later, and here you have it. It seems to have been commissioned specifically for the game. It goes way harder than the source would suggest.

I've been going down a Red Faces rabbit hole. These guys are great. I saw them live twice back in the day. One of my biggest regrets is that they never put out a DVD of their show 'Lady Robot'.

I've been watching old Hey Hey, It's Saturday clips tonight, and this performance by Francis Greenslade on Red Faces is next level comedy. He went on to be a major part in The Micallef Program, and rightly so. This is brilliant.
