Play whatever game you like on whatever system you like. You are a gamer. Are you enjoying yourself? Good. In the end, that's all that matters.

Grabbing a couple of things to complete my collections in the Steam Halloween sale, complete edition of Zombie Army 4 is 83% off and Dying Light Definitive 10th Anniversary Edition is 80% off, highly recommend both if you don't have them. Also Dead Island original is 90% off, so under two quid.

Last night's watches were the 4Ks of Tremors and Chinese Ghost Story, both still fantastic. Tonight was Ju-On The Curse, first of the two TV/home video movies I'd not seen before. Really good stuff.

once again tapping the sign

Just back from seeing The Princess Bride at the local cinema, great stuff.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

To help against misinformation: This is the result of the Saudi Arabian buyout deal. The most ridiculous deal ever made where EA could barely cover the cost of the debt it accrued. A lot of people will attach their personal feelings to the "why" but this is the real reason ^

Well...bollocks.

Tokoname City's character is Tokotan, a Maneki-neko (beckoning cat statuette that is produced there).

When MST3K met PlayStation in '98. While digging through some demo discs, it was a pleasant surprise to see Mike and the gang pop up to introduce PlayStation Underground's Best of Year One magazine disc.

Me whenever I hear someone calling the 1960's Peter Cushing Doctor Who/Dalek movies shite... youtu.be/Qq8V6AydX_U?...

Tonight's watches were the Hammer version of Hound Of the Baskervilles and John Carpenter's Prince Of Darkness. Both high up in my comfort horror movies lists.

RIP Spanish artist Sanjulián (Manuel Pérez Clemente) who has left us at the age of 85.

If you see this post a skeleton...

Happy Birthday to Cam Kennedy, one of @2000ad.bsky.social 's finest!

Tonight's impromptu horror double bill was Mr Vampire (1985) and Dracula AD1972 (1972) as hadn't watched either for a while and just wanted some fun horror, nothing too heavy.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Nice, my big Arrow Halloween sal ordder, combined with mynorder at end of last month means I've enough reward points to get a free 4K in the sale when I do my regular order at the end of this month. Probably An American Werewolf In London.

Mild throat infection has progressed to a full on one, with the usual random coughing fits and achey torso mainly due to those. Meant I missed my chance to see Digger at local cinema, since had booked the last showing this afternoon, but wasn't up to it. Going to just rest until Monday.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

Last couple of nights, just before bed I've gone back to Vampire Survivors for about an hour since still got a bunch of characters, weapons and other stuff to unlock. Looking forward to diving into Warhammer Survivors next month.

I mean, ffs, if I hadn't already uninstalled the previous rubbish store app and any of the free games installed from it, I'd be doing it now. You're not a competitor, you're a joke.

I'd already shoved Epic Games into the van, destination tae fuck a while back due to their AI use amd their CEO repeatedly havering shite, so this changes nothing for me, but to reiterate, fuck Epic Games.

One of my favourite episodes of The Muppet Show. :)

So tonight was a couple of horror 4Ks I'd not gotten round to yet, Night Of The Living Dead (1990) and Dawn Of The Dead (1978). Hadn't seen Night 1990 since home video, still really good and both Patricia Tallman and Tony Todd are excellent. Had been a while for Dawn too, still my fave zombie movie.

*shambles up to podium* "It'd be nice if comeone remade or made a spiritual successor to the PS1 Ghost In The Shell game. 'kthxbye." *shoogles offstage*
