Summary

For all its failures, the 3DO was an enjoyable and fun endeavour, that still brings fond memories to gamers of a certain age.

Episode Description

As 1995 turned into 1996, things at the 3DO company weren't looking good. Despite seeing decent sales numbers of over a million units, this paled in comparison to new machines from SEGA and Sony.

This, coupled with a dwindling number of games, and many owners of the system jumping ship to the SEGA Saturn and Sony PlayStation, made it clear that the 3DO's dream of becoming an established console in the market just wasn't going to happen.

Big decisions were made that would affect the company for the remainder of its short life.

I loved the way he would talk me through every moment as he created an amazing work of art.My Joy of Writing podcast is my homage to Bob Ross. It is meant to be inspirational to those that want to learn to write as well as be fun for those who want to experience the creative process.On my Twitch channel, I talk through my thoughts as I write a novel. In my podcast, I take a story idea and write it while outlining the process out loud. In both cases, it is very similar to Bob Ross and The Joy of Painting, and that's obviously not an accident.For those who want to be writers, I hope this inspires you to immerse yourself in the writing process.
