Wow.

Gonna start a big Tarantino rewatch and re-ranking, I think. Before this, I think my top five are: 1. The Hateful Eight 2. Inglourious Basterds 3. Kill Bill 4. Pulp Fiction 5. Reservoir Dogs But it's been years since I last watched them all. Interested to see if anything's changed...

This guy is fucking awesome. @pjoreilly.bsky.social I reckon you'll like this. youtu.be/ujDe6It7AdI

Mens half pipe final: "Take your TV outside, roll up a newspaper and beat your TV with it because it's about to drop a whole load of snowboarding action all over the carpet". Amazing 😂 It's beaten "Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is for tyres" for the best commentary in a sporting event.

Yes thanks. www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/02...

This joke writes itself.

Started playing CloverPit last night on my phone (about £4 on the Google store). It's Balatro levels of dangerous. Maybe even more so. store.steampowered.com/app/3314790/...

I cancelled Spotify ages ago and have tried alternatives and the worst has to be YouTube Music. It's absolute horseshit. The quality varies wildly from one song to the next on the same album, sometimes they use music video audio even if you click 'audio' rather than 'video', it's a mess all round.

Probably going to retire in six months from my chilli sauce business going gangbusters. So long, suckers..!

I fucking love Jack White but the man needs to paragraph.

Cleaned out 80% of my YouTube subscriptions, channels that are dead, stuff I'm not really interested in etc. Can anyone recommend some good channels? Gaming, TV, comics, books, film/game/book analysis etc. Anything interesting!

Absolute dickheads. I thought the ticking clock at the start of the second game reveal was finally a Chrono Trigger remaster... As for the rest of the Direct. Hmm. 😐 youtu.be/88Ym9SCKFpc

7pm: "Dad, I forgot, I've got to make a model plane for my homework, can you help?" Oh ok, when for? "Tomorrow". FFS. Also, 'help' means 'do'.

This is fucking brilliant. Faith No More will never stop being fucking brilliant. Greatest band of all time. Mike is god. youtu.be/AZfr2QMk3Fc

Me on every journey.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Reform cunt, Mick Cockerham, straight up out here saying he wants left wing folk executed with extreme prejudice. Nothing shocks me any more.

The music! Let's go....!

Rollcage (PS1 - 1999). Still a lot of fun!

GAMES COMPLETED 2026: In which I will review any games I finish this year because my memory is receding faster than my hairline.

Agh... Is it get FFVII Remake for Switch now because it's only £40 but I have so much else to finish or wait till it's a fraction of that price in an inevitable sale later in the year? I know what the sensible decision is... I'd struggle freeing up 100GB right now, is the more pressing problem.

Just referenced Bottom in the office. Not a single glimmer of recognition amongst my team. Man...

Stewart Lee and Harry Hill - two British comedy legends battling it out on a sofa. Who's going to win? THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT...! youtu.be/GhJxiU1_5o0

He needs to be gone. One way or another. Preferably another. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

To save you a read, it's getting to the last boss on Mega Man 3 and only having one life left.

Wow. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I liked Squid Game, even the reality show based on the series. Thought I'd try that Mr Beast Games on Prime. Had to turn it off after ten minutes, it's fucking horrible 😐

I've never seen this before and now I'm thinking there can't be a single Metallica song that wouldn't be improved with Lady Gaga dueting on it. She does a good Hetfield impression. youtu.be/R0XUW-sU57g

BOOKS READ 2026: A thread in which I will review every book I read this year. Join me on Goodreads if you like, username is Alex79uk

I had a three month free subscription to Spotify, can't even remember how I got it now, but just went to cancel it and was presented with this... 🤮

Alright... You win this one, dickheads.

Absolutely sick of this county. Fucking weather bastards promising mad snow ALL DAY and I've absolutely worn myself out being excited about it and for what? Fucking nothing!! YET AGAIN rip-off Britain rears its ugly head 😡

Where's this fucking snow then, weather wankers? 😡 Never heard anything like it. Absolute mass hysteria. Work sending people to work at home, closing the office tomorrow, for what? Fuck me...

Dipping a Freddo in chocolate orange flavour Baileys is 😘👌

Idea for TV show: Barrymore's More Barry To Moor. Companion to a main show where contestants navigate from Barry Island to Dartmoor using only antiquated pedal bikes. Presented by Michael Barrymore, who'd interview the last placed contestants every week. Could use criminals to spice it up a bit.

I know they say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I do it all the time. I reckon it's saved me from reading some really shit books.

I haven't followed the news much over Christmas, but has Trump really just decided, on a whim, to invade Venezuela, remove the president and take over? I've read a bit online, and that's what it looks like. But is there more to it than that? Some excuse about drugs and immigrants? This is wild.

Just spent the afternoon loading up my Vita with anything I'll need to emulate for the new volume of shows 😁 Damned if I can get Defender running on anything though. Always had issues with that in MAME etc.

Damn holiday hours. How's a man supposed to enjoy a sneaky chip shop supper on the way home from work when they're all closed?

But... why? He's faced two 'proper' (and not retired) boxers in the ring and lost to them both. Boxing is a farce if he's offered a title fight. Makes an absolute mockery of the sport. talksport.com/boxing/38540...

Chris Liberator still banging out sets like this after 30 years... youtu.be/uPZgamlMOh4

Replaying Ori & The Blind Forest. One of very few games I ever 100% completed before, but it's been long enough I don't remember much. This might be the best Metroidvania ever made, I certainly can't think of one that has such good movement and traversal of the areas. Ori is so fluid and agile.

Hello, would Edinburgh be nice to visit in February, or would it just be too cold to enjoy properly?

Remember that episode where Sam Beckett Quantum Leaped in to the body of a boxer and instantly wondered what the fuck was going on?

Was half joking earlier when I said I was setting my alarm for 3am for the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight. My ten year old overheard me. And now here we are.

I asked Richard a question and got a badge for my effort! Thanks Richard! (And Chris, who probably posted it out...)

David Walliams? A wrong 'un? Well, I think I can speak for all of us when I say I never saw that coming. A mile off. In neon flashing lights. Vile, predatory man. Always has been. Article without paywall: archive.is/CMVqu
