boy am I not good at Lumines

PITCH: Here's Why You're RIGHT to Like the Thing You ALREADY Like

Taxi Driver The Irishman The King of Comedy After Hours The Wolf of Wall Street

worried I wasn't watching enough bad movies, watched that movie The Weeknd made, had immediate regrets

oh are they Predator Badlands-ing Metroid

I'm largely enjoying Long Story Short but do we have a term yet for when characters all sound like their own therapists

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

the terrible, terrible irony that I write better in the morning but am not even remotely a morning person

do you think Shigeru Miyamoto has watched Good Time

if you watched Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, maybe also check out Larry Fessenden's GREAT modernization, Depraved. it's on Shudder and Kanopy

Bond drives a car real fast through Budapest. He hits a bad guy and then gets out and takes a thumb drive from the guy's jacket pocket and says "didn't your mother ever tell you to look both ways before crossing the street?" and then he shoots the guy twice and drives off BANAAAAT DANAAAAAA

you gotta respect Vince Gilligan's commitment to finally getting Rhea Seehorn an Emmy

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You really catapulted into my fav of the year so far

i know i shouldn't lead with Minesweeper being in this since it's only a small part of the game, but No Players Online does a lot of really cool stuff with Minesweeper! (there's also a haunted FPS map and a grainy atmosphere of digital decay!)

any time I think about Frankenstein, I remember when I watched Frankenstein Unbound on TV as a kid and assumed it was a faithful adaptation

it welcome me to derry until i float too

hate to say it but even if Predator: Badlands had been rated R, it is deeply and spiritually a PG-13 movie

the funny thing about the internet is that sometimes work just disappears. i wrote about these adaptations as well for Fanbyte some years ago, but the article got purged when the site changed direction and is now basically unfindable. authory.com/StevenScaife...

someday I hope to achieve the confidence of a person opening a smoke shop within sight of 1-3 other smoke shops

"you're the monster" is a line somebody says to Victor Frankenstein in the movie Frankenstein

it's my birthday today, a day when nothing else is happening

Blue Moon is great but I do wish I had been warned about all the hobbit photography it has to use so Ethan Hawke can be short

our horror games list is 5 years old but I still think it's neat

I've got a brief review of Ball x Pit in this one

Private equity destroys 200-year-old book distribution company that libraries around the country rely on and now libraries are having trouble getting new books: www.404media.co/libraries-sc...

A fantastic piece I had the pleasure of editing!

wow they REALLY went in a new direction for the remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle

i've got an interview up about the development process and folkloric background for One-Eyed Likho among other things, i learned about the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, which classifies folktales from around the world

every single review on Goodreads

ok I understand the instinct to latch onto any old adult-targeted thriller, but What Lies Beneath? really?

i am really coming to dread every "here's why this is a roguelike" story hook

had hoped this would be good on the strength of ZeroZeroZero, but The Monster of Florence is like trying do Zodiac without any investigative focal point

before there was Vampire Survivors x Breakout, there was Metal Gear Solid 5 x Spelunky

if you like Ball x Pit you definitely also gotta check out Mr. Sun's Hatbox

why yes, the Entertainment Tonight grudge does come up on Mr. Scorsese

fascinating how much overlap there is between 2025 local radio stations and the soundtrack for 2008's Saints Row 2

i have emerged from conducting-interviews retirement with a piece on the development of Mediterranea Inferno

Pokémon 'Za takes place in Off-Peak City

you ever notice how white a site's bylines become once the freelance budgets get slashed

if you like Ball x Pit you definitely also gotta check out Mr. Sun's Hatbox

my body is a machine that turns time into be on computer

i have emerged from conducting-interviews retirement with a piece on the development of Mediterranea Inferno

i don't see enough discussion on this timeline about the Deathstalker remake from the director of Psycho Goreman

video game release calendars are so dire, man. how do people even know what's releasing anymore? it's a toss-up for whether an indie game is gonna be listed at all. delays often go wholly unnoticed

i really hate when we talk about books like they're shopping lists of tropes
