This is the story of the Gizmondo - the worst-selling video game system of all time.

It's a story of violence, Windows CE, Swedish mafias, missing money, and sticky balls. And in the end, it all culminated in the crash of a one-of-a-kind Ferrari on a highway in California.

This is The Art of Failure - Gizmondo: Life and Death.

Announced in mid-2022, this one took over a year and some to get to a point I was happy with, hence why it's now releasing in December 2023! It's also my way to wrap up not only The Art of Failure but Stuff We Play as a whole.

In the past 18 months, my husband and I have moved to Germany, I've begun working in a creative role in the video game industry, and I've been fortunate enough to get to speak at events on topics related to my field at events ranging from Gamescom & Devcom to local industry meetups, with more planned for next year.

That said, while I still love producing videos, YouTube at this point is a hobby, and I'd honestly like to make content on subjects not strictly related to the industry I work in for a living. I'll still be (hopefully) active on Bluesky and Tiktok though, and have already dipped my toes there into making content based on urban planning and my pet snail, Snelly.

Anyway, if you enjoyed this, leave a comment and maybe follow me on those platforms!
