I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

It's fair to say that our little video game movie podcast, and my deep love for the first Mortal Kombat movie, would not be the same without this perfect performance. A Games on Film legend. Farewell.

Help me, Bluesky! I'd love to find and chat to UK-based up-and-coming music composers for games - especially those who are as obsessed with the Japanese school of melody-focused game music as I am. Could eventually lead to a small paid gig and then maybe maybe more down the line. Spread the word! ❤️

SEND HELP trailer is live!! Rachel McAdams! Dylan O'Brien! Sam Raimi! Spread it round the world, won't you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4wi...

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

Happy 25th anniversary Eternal Arcadia, aka Skies of Arcadia, released in Japan on 5th October 2000! One of my fave DC games. <3 I'll mark the occasion by sharing some sweet character concept sketches from its development.

Michael Palin's diaries are FASCINATING

If you had to have another reason to dislike this absolute ghoul, he's now encouraging his army of desperate minions to cancel Netflix because of my brother's show. What a boring man. Maybe instead of listening to him, you can buy Hamish's latest book! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hamis...

Just watched the new Paul Anderson movie everyone's raving about!

We need to spend less energy mocking the performative male and more energy mocking the performative vaper.

Looking for a fresh playlist? How about you play THIS? open.spotify.com/playlist/7fr...

Join me at 2pm my time (yay) but like 6am your time probably (boo!) on Friday to watch me react to Pauline getting a new hat in Mario Kart or whatever! The stream will happen here: www.youtube.com/live/oE6uXhh... And it'll be simultaneously cast to Twitch here: www.twitch.tv/hamishsteele

Thanks to Qantas for providing a Games on Film section in their in-flight entertainment offerings on a recent trip! You can listen to our #SuperMarioMovie, #MortalKombat, #TombRaider and #Pokemon #DetectivePikachu episodes wherever you get your #podcasts!

It's a shame Benicio del Toro didn’t star in In The Lost Lands. He could've achieved a rare Anderson trio in a single year.
