Seeing as people are acting normal about Mass Effect at the moment, figured I’d show off some of my stuff shelf. A fair bit of old tat.

Get a load of this guy!

Getting caught up on the Hellaverse. Thought Hazbin season 2 was very good! Could have sworn that people were disappointed? Not sure how much better they could have done within the confines of 8 episodes. (maybe a bit more time setting up Angeldust?) Any way. Good stuff! Now for S3 of Helluva!

While I might learning to embrace "Enjoy whatever, F the naysayers" I do kind of wonder what snooty theater critics make of it? Haha. Is it a good musical, or am I just being wowed by babby's first song and dance show? Still. It's a big step. I'm adding the songs from Hazbin to my MP3 player.

Ok so, pond update: Damn thing sprung a leak. My fault for putting sharp little bits of gravel in there. There's fk all that can be done to patch it up as it's loads of tiny little punctures right at the bottom. Decided that I'll rush a preformed pond installation before it gets too cold.

Looking at the other options, like wintering the fish in a storage tank or having to keep filling the pond up over the winter with hose water and it all looked very impractical. Needed to pick an option ASAP and this seemed like the best. Just hope it isn't a complete cock up.

Ok! With all the Evil Dead’s watched, it’s time for a ranking The big mood coming out of this is that I prefer the nastier movies over the funnier ones. And that Rise really doesn’t do it for me From most to least: The Evil Dead Evil Dead Burn Evil Dead Evil Dead 2 Army of Darkness Evil Dead Rise

Army of Darkness, even if it’s towards the bottom of the list, is still extremely good. Some absolute classic moments and more suited to the comedic antics. Just wish there was a cut with all the best scenes and one-liners combined. Award: most asshole skeletons

Evil Dead almost had its position swapped with the first movie. Yet, for all its grotty brutality, the moments of scruffy pacing and structure don’t feel as forgivable in a movie otherwise well made. But it is nasty and groady and, oh, I right like that 💀 Award: most likely to give you tetanus.

The Evil Dead takes the top spot. Big kudos for being the original, of course. But it still has those Raimi quirks, and the Bruce Campbell slapstick feels more unintentional. It’s also is also proper nasty in a gritty exploration kind of way. Award: most unpleasant looking Necronomicon

Continuing my Evil Dead watch and I continue to worry. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood, but Army of Darkness and Evil Dead 2 felt awfully… quaint. Enjoyed Sam Raimi directing the hell out of some low budget shenanigans but, and I admit this is sacrilegious, Bruce’s hammy slapstick wore a bit thin.

Watched the three modern Evil Dead movies in a row, in reverse order. :P The big take away is that I like Rise the least. In a technical/aesthetic sense, it lacks the grotty tactility of 2013 or the wild cinematography of Burn. I mean, shout out for having the best title reveal of the lot.

Metroid Dread is the first one of these I've played in decades.

Saying to heck with my wheat/gluten intolerance, I'm trying to find who has the best budget "deep pan" pizza. Last week was a Morrisons, which had pretty crap cheese, but scored highly on having a doughy base. Today was an Aldi's Carlos, which was pretty dry, yet sweaty. Not great.

Where does Vanguard Class Titan fall on the "Hear me out" scale?
