I get that the knife imagery makes for a more compelling design brief, but the number of people in the Scream series who get merked simply by being shot right in the middle of the dome should probably be indicated on the packaging somewhere.

It’s never really indicated whether the in-fiction Stab series also includes the bits where someone got blasted right in the forehead, seeing as the original trilogy is based on what happened in Woodsboro.

Driving straight into a wall at 400mph and feeling Proust's Madeleine exiting the back of my skull at the same velocity as my inner child claps.

I’ll be totally honest, I’d be in such a pissy mood if I was attending the screening at the start of Scream 2 - just the worst possible audience to watch a film with. Sit down, you jerks.

I think my number one favourite part of any holiday now is extruding the limescale from the rainfall shower nipples, so the thing actually works.

Got a cat in Mewgenics who was an absolutely ridiculous archer with teleport abilities and double basic attack that then got mutated back to a kitten, so can go out on a second run, and started miaowing along in tune to the alley boss music while singlepawedly taking care of the fight. 10/10 😸

I really do think that Naoki Urasawa absolutely nails the opening hook for basically every series he's done/been involved in, and then I would be hard pressed to actually tell you how any of his series end, but Judas Iscariot showing up as a main player in Billy Bat Volume 2 is legit.

"A brilliant surgeon saves a terrible serial killer and then they chase each other and... stuff happens?" "The stories a bunch of kids told each other about the end of the world come true and then they have to identify which of them made this happen... somehow?" "Master Keaton is an absolute lad."

Coming out of a very enjoyable comedy show and dipping right back into the description of third degree burns caused by a nuclear explosion in this, just to show my psyche who’s in charge.

Really enjoying Nightreign, now I have a Steam Machine to play with PC brigade pals - sprinting in as Duchess, turning invisible, merking half a world boss' health bar, restaging to run the clock back on the damage/status proc, and then backflipping away feels like you're Major Kusanagi.

Steam Machine is an amazing bit of kit, as I theoretically have access to (almost) my entire PC games library, but I’m just playing hours of American Truck Simulator, while listening to audiobooks, as the novelty of being able to easily play it on the big telly in the lounge just doesn’t wear off.
