Wes Johnson, voice actor in numerous games, announcer for the Washington Capitals, and honestly just a dude with an incredibly warm and friendly presence, has been a friend to Brendan for a long time. Now he needs your help! Please consider kicking in a little bit to help him and his family!

Going to #MAGFest2025? Not going because they sold out but you'll be nearby? Stop by Bloop on the way to, from, or even during and check out some games with @inversephase - this will be the last #MAGFest where you can visit the museum in its current location, we move in summer!

Just in case you didn't watch it on the #fundraiser page and like to stay in the doomscroll, here's our fundraiser video with a quick summary of what we're trying to do.

For the next few hours, any #museum #donations will be matched - we have a matching donor with a set amount, and, wait for it..... it's over $9000! So go nuts and spread this!

Seriously, we're almost there folks, 94%!

Announcing.......another match!

An excited donor is offering up to a $12,000 match in a future donation for every donation received from January 1st until the end of the weekend.

That means we could receive an extra $10,000 if we raise that much by the end of Sunday (we've already raised $2k this year!).

Got a fantastic box of fun UK goodies from @mattgodbolt and @kieranhj and might have discovered some early #bbcmicro #retrogaming / #retrocomputing #fanfiction (just kidding, it's an earlyish action game)

Fund-o-rama was a success! Despite tech issues, we had music, bumps, and tour bits, and raised $5650! That'll be DOUBLED by our matching donor, who says if we raise more in the next 2 weeks, it'll ALSO be matched! Our year-end goal is $200K, so we need to hit $189K for the full match.

Thank you to all who joined us and supported!!

We truly had an incredible turnout for #GivingTuesday, and we want to thank everyone who supported and spread the word on our #fundraiser.

If we can keep #fundraising close to what we've done the last few days, we can make our goal of $200K by the end of the year. We're also set up on Benevity, Deed, and PayPal Giving Fund.

Please help us keep that energy going! The #museum needs a permanent home!

It's #GivingTuesday! Which means everyone's getting loads of email about donating to a nonprofit.

We need to move into a new building. Kinda like this one. And if we want to do that, we have to put an offer in on it by the end of the year.

Can you help?
