- Happy New Year everyone. It’s funny but this time a quarter of a century ago people were fearful of the possible consequences of the Y2K bug, social media wasn’t a thing and you had to take roles of film to a shop to get your 24/36 pictures. Good luck with the next 25
- Going from a playable demo that i knocked out in a few hours in 1999 to it’s final “release” 5yrs later (with other stuff happening in between) was tortuous but I’m glad we did it. Rare; bringing the world games it doesn’t have. The folks who worked on this are very proud of it. Happy Birthday Pants
- It's Mr Pants was "released" in December 2004. 20 years on, the #Kongversation honors Rare's website mascot turned Video Game Hero. @freezer.bsky.social will join me to discuss the life of the most beloved underwear mogul, television presenter, and international jetsetter in Rare's shared universe!
- And just as a reminder this is what we thought of it youtu.be/CLJAVWMI1F4?... Always loved Justin’s 1st bit where he realised that he’d have to justify the madness for the world to see
- Now that we’re here, that Mr Pants video was part of the video archive we produced around the Rare Replay project; 30 games from 30 years for 30 dollars. We were working on that loving compilation 10 years ago and it released in 2015, so we’re running close to 10 years since launch.

View full thread…Banjo Kazooie said that he burst out laughing quite noticeably in the barn when he read comments i had left for Chris Sutherland in the codebase. I’d written them ~17 years earlier but recalled them clearly when he related them to me. He said he had found it interesting how we had coded things BITD
