Episode 6 of Welcome to Derry took a step back to add more history, connect some dots, and set the table before some dark shit goes down. Slower paced, but it was needed after the last couple of episodes. Along with Midnight Mass, this is now easily my favourite horror show in decades.

Watched all 4 episodes of Stranger Things. Something is definitely off with the acting, almost across the board. It might be the dialogue but much of it feels very dumbed down. Aside from that, the story is decent so far, and the presentation is incredible. Ep 4 was top tier - still enjoying!

Lucky number 7, bitcheeesss! FAS has allowed me to do so much around things I love with awesome people. For that, I am thankful. You should check us out. We're pretty great, and we ain't done yet! 🧟‍♂️

First two episodes of Stranger Things season 5 were solid. All the money has been spent and it shows. I can't shake the fact some of the charm is gone because it's taken so long to get here, but I'm happy to loosen up and go along for the ride. They need to not hold back!

Episode 1 of Pluribus had big The World's End vibes. When does Gary King arrive?

Welcome to Derry episode 5 was unbelievably delicious!! This show has been a masterclass in horror edging, and I'm so ready for the climax - with a while to go yet! Do we have an all timer horror series on our hands, lads?🤡🎈

Today, the kid turned 7. Words fail me. Proud every day - and look at this incredible brownie stack our friend made!! 💚

20 years of Xbox 360 Absolute PEAK. 🥹

CRT Watch. Silent Hill 2 Remake.

It's FINALLY time for Silent Hill 2!

New @retrogamermag.bsky.social is here, and after my own heart. The greatest video game console of all time. Consoles of today have more in common with everything the Xbox 360 brought to the table than anything before or since, and as consoles fade away, never forget what we had.

£899 incoming. 😫

Absolute radio silence from any Xbox channels about Silent Hill 2, which fascinates me. Did Sony stipulate some kind of "non market clause" when they originally got their 12-month exclusivity? 😵

Aw shit, here we go again.

Welcome to Derry this week may have produced one of all time sickest horror moments 😵 Sam Raimi would be proud.

If you're 555 then I'm 666... (I am in fact 555 while 5th).

Yes, E33 sure sure, though outside of that, seeing Ball X Pit get nominated is lovely but nothing for Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is a huge snub. #TheGameAwards

When you clear out a cupboard and find forgotten relics of a simpler time.

Found this 1985 circuit testing textbook from an electronics company and just look at these Severance-esque photos. "Our PREMIER automatic repair station."

ALL IN for season 2 of Fallout. More thoughts from us 😁 👇👇

CRT Watch. Half-Life 2.

My ★★★ review of M3GAN 2.0 boxd.it/bJpXUP

So, WAS 1995 a good year for video games? You better flipping believe it was. Did I pick the best ones? Listen and find out...

While KPop Demon Hunters is not for me, anytime I see those characters, hear the music, see merch, and remember all the kids dressed as them for Halloween, I just think of the Exec at Sony who sold it for cheap because they thought it would flop. Imagine being them and still going into the office. 💀

I played Metroid Prime 4! I'll not reiterate my thoughts (watch the video!) but it was a bit of a profound moment in my career. I got started in gaming with a review of Metroid Prime for my old personal channel, about a decade ago, and now here I am previewing MP4. Wow. youtu.be/TeO8Gdgh3iE

Why has this week been 17 days long

Underrated films. Man on Fire.

🚨 PODCAST ANNOUNCEMENT We're back in the lab cooking up something different as we take a look at the origins and the effects of Resident Evil's deadly parasite in Virology: Las Plagas! Joined by @resievilpodcast.bsky.social's The Batman! 📅Weds 19th 🕖19:00GMT / 14:00EST 🗺First Aid Spray Discord

A lovely collection of kit that seems to be sacrificing performance in favour of price point. Not a bad thing. Though with that in mind, who's it for? Aren't Steam / PC gamers generally in it for the exact opposite of that? Is it an ecosystem entry point? If so, it needs to be CHEAP. 😬

I can't get on board with the notion that anything after Toy Story 3 is some kind of insult to the storytelling. I genuinely think most people who say that haven't seen Toy Story 4. If they had, they'd know there's 4 chapters, and anything else is an insult to the storytelling.

The irony has ended me. #PMQs

This tagline on the cover of The Running Man:

My ★★★★ review of The Naked Gun boxd.it/bFLAof

My ★★★ review of It Chapter Two boxd.it/bFLi6x

Welcome to Derry episode 3 brought big The Shining meets Casper vibes and I'm here for every damn second.

With the AI arms race of today, Fallout 4 feels more resonant than ever 10 years later. The handcrafted nature of its scope is something we may soon be nostalgic for too... It's not really possible to cover it all in a single episode, but we gave it a go!

Egging On - believe the hype!

Told you I was editing something...

I know this is random for 7am on a Sunday morning post but I'm editing a podcast and it never ceases to amaze me how good Adobe Audition's noise reduction tools are. 2 or 3 clicks takes you from jet engine-like background noise to studio sounding quality. Could've done with this 25 years ago...

19 years ago today, where it all began... Happy Birthday Gears of War!

My ★★★★ review of IT: Chapter One on Letterboxd. boxd.it/bCGroX

Only a few hours in but really enjoying The Outer Worlds 2! Obsidian on a hell of a run.

As someone who's been in the Christmas ad production sphere in the past, I've always been quite cynical of what John Lewis deliver. This year though, I can't fault it. Zero fat. Could've been made in a day. Great message. Hitting me at a relevant time of my life. It got me. What have I become!?
