Hugo FM

I made a Chrome extension that adds fart sounds to your browsing. A lovely Fart sound on every click. Welcome to the browser Mr Farts 😂

Just released "blame the dog" by Mr Farts. I think it could be the best song released on the internet today!!

The Mince Pie Song Remix is getting some serious plays on Amazon music today. What a way to start the weekend.

Is this you?

We would obviously also be keen for them to make our voice games available shoutoutgames.com

Who thinks Spotify should make a smart speaker? They already dominate music, podcasts, and audiobooks... Now imagine adding an AI assistant you can actually choose like chatgpt or Grok. Would you buy one?

Weird seeing the volume and mute controls pointing at you on the Echo Dot Max. Reminds me of an old school iPod control that you scrolled around to select your song. I think that space screams importance now it is facing the user and it is almost a let down to only have volume controls. It's like putting those volume control as the face of alexa (see image). It also seems a bit expensive for the dot category to me, but i imagine it will be heavily discounted for amazon events. Other devices all looked good. Let's see what the general public thinks... If you have an Alexa you can enjoy some of our voice games. Just say "Alexa, Open Mini Games"

Really impressed with what google flow can do. Think we can make some great game trailers with it now we can animate the assets so easily. 🤔 Anyone done anything cool for gaming with flow / Veo 3? #gamedev

@breathesam2 Amazing! Glad to hear they like it. Amazon are launching Alex Plus and it does not look good for skills like animal sounds because they will generate animal sounds with AI, so I'm concentrating on Mini Games, till i know more.

@hugocatchpole My son insists on bringing the Alexa off the shelf to play Animal Sounds, please bring it to his Kindle

Does this mean I need to start optimising my voice games for Kindle? #gamedev

@tim_cook Can it get bigger than this.... x.com/hugocatchpole/…

Days like today are some of the most exciting moments at Apple. #AppleEvent

@markgurman Vapor chamber you say... x.com/hugocatchpole/…

I expect the new heat management system/vapor chamber on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max to be a key point tomorrow. That, of course, in addition to the external design changes, new orange and blue colors, and major camera upgrades (48MP across lenses, improved optical zoom).

Just reposting with the apple event hashtag so I get the fancy like animation ❤️ #AppleEvent

And one more thing… 💨 Today Apple launch their new products. We launch something even bigger… the Fart Button. The most revolutionary launch of 2025 😂

@KatieBa78245568 @PeteQuiz Say "Alexa, open Pub Quiz" Spotify and apple podcast you can search Pete's Pub quiz. It is audio only at the moment.... maybe in the future we will do more video.

@PeteQuiz Hiw do you watch the pub quiz?

Note to self: Never challenge a group of regulars to a game of darts. Those guys are like human aiming machines with pints in hand!

Bit of a preview from behind the scenes.

If you're into AI, animation, and epic voice gaming experiences, you gotta check this out. We're pretty stoked about what we've been cooking up! 😎 krikey.ai/case-studies/a… #alexa #AI #AnimationMagic #AlexaGames

@jameswilsterman @weekendhq Great news 🎉 congrats. Looking forward to seeing what you do next on Alexa.

We founded @weekendhq with the belief that voice-controlled games can bring people together in ways that feel truly human. 

Today, we’re excited to announce our $55M Series C to accelerate our development of new voice-controlled and AI-powered games. Read more here: volleygames.com/post/announcin…

@erisdannmaciel I think you will have to wait till after the event to view the stream. Or follow a news source that will be covering it.

@hugocatchpole I'm a fan of Alexa and Amazon, but I live in Brazil. Don't know if there is any way to watch the live broadcast?

Alexa Champions Swag has arrived just in time for the Amazon devices event later today 😎
