Yesterday, for your viewing pleasure, I uploaded some play footage of my game Jet Pack Kitty Attack , available for Android and Kindle in both the Google Play store  and the mobile apps section of Amazon.com . However, in case 99 cents is too rich for anyone, I also recently released a free version of 'Jet Pack Kitty Attack' that can be downloaded for Android here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrisoconnell.jetpackkittyattackfreever ...but just be warned, because the free version is free, it has ads and not all of the features that are in the full game.

Over the past couple of years, I've found that after working on any given movie, I usually don't try to see that particular film for several months to just over a year. You may ask, "why so long?" or "aren't you proud of getting to work on big movies, Chris?" Well, with the occasional exception , of course I'm proud of the films I work on. However, for a combination of reasons, sometimes it's really hard to enjoy the visual story experience of a movie when it consumes a few months of your life in the form of grueling 40 to 90 hour work weeks. Sure, sometimes I'
