Chapter 7 of my sci-fi serial is up 📚💙 1. Shit gets real. 2. Korvus uses a black hole as a problem solver. rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/the-well-o...

GamesRadar's giving away M3GAN 2.0 on Blu-ray (UK only, curses). Can't enter myself, but I dug this sequel. If you want to know why it's worth owning, here's my take: youtu.be/QmSjEXZENEQ UK residents, behold the breadcrumbs below to enter 🙂

Jem and the Holograms walked so #KPopDemonHunters could run. My latest why-it's-awesome review: youtu.be/STHA8YzDq9A

You know being a #SamaraWeaving fan: heroin highs like #ReadyOrNot, then... others. I call it #TheSamaraWeavingEffect. My new video on #EenieMeanie shows it's her pivot to the A-list through a wild Heist of Consequences™. Check it out: youtu.be/Z8qmlRbzRKc

Guy Ritchie's King Arthur is the gangster-legend mashup you didn't know you needed. Charlie Hunnam's brothel-raised brawler deserved those 6 sequels Warner Bros promised (and spectacularly fumbled). I will die on this hill. 🗡️ youtu.be/zKs0LaGW5A4 #KingArthur #UnderratedGems #GuyRitchie

Kick-Ass meets John Wick to save the girl. Does it work? Hell yeah it does: youtu.be/eBvOn_zq9lI

Sometimes wisdom can be found in the smallest of places. Fortune cookie knows all. "Great souls have wills; feeble ones only have wishes."

My new video for writers & GMs is a guide to remixing reality (aka cultural fusion). I give you a 3-step framework for unique world-building, using Avatar, Cowboy Bebop, and Thundercats as examples... and explain my kung fu werewolves: youtu.be/5PrlHzdjBr4

My deep-dive on #TheMonkey is up! It's a bloody good time starring #TheoJames as both a hero and his dickhead-edition twin. Come for the gory kills, stay for the analysis of why it's so outstanding. Full thoughts here: youtu.be/LazYLBzjBf8

Love this review!! Steph gets me.

🔥 The Undefeated Throne is unleashed. They survived Book 1, but that was amateur hour. More monsters, sarcasm, and bad calls from your favourite dysfunctional found family. 💙📚 Read: www.books2read.com/TheUndefeate... Go on. The apocalypse won't start itself.

Last time Warden Mercer saw a Corrector, his wife died… and one just arrived on his acid-drenched prison colony. The killing is about to begin. Gritty, boots-on-the-ground sci-fi for fans of Aliens & Warhammer 40k 📚💙 #SciFi #MilitarySciFi #Writing rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/the-well-o...

Holy moly but the #BurgerWellington #VWOAP entry from Crab Shack was something else. I didn't think science had advanced to the levels required by a fondue burger, but here we are. There's no 🍌 for scale but this is about the size of a five year old's head.

I'm making the case for M3GAN 2.0, a criminally underrated action-comedy that's way smarter and funnier than the original. In my new video, I break down why this self-aware fun machine is the perfect takedown of Big Tech and our AI anxieties. youtu.be/QmSjEXZENEQ

Ship names determine if an Alien movie is a masterpiece or a mess. Nostromo (greed) = cyberpunk classic. Prometheus (myth) = giant donut slasher flick. My full theory on this litmus test is in my new video. Tell me I'm wrong. youtu.be/xRMDC-f1PMU #alien #aliens #romulus #alienearth

My new video is an ode to the Loveable Lunkhead (the hero who does the right thing in the absolute wrongest way). Using Lockout, Heads of State, & Army of the Dead, I break down why these chaotic characters make B-movies so great: youtu.be/Ibssg1Hnqd4

Staring at a blank page? 😵‍💫 My friend Cassie dragged me into a video where we plotted an 📚💙 epic novel in 30 mins with dice! Explosions & juicy plots guaranteed. If you're tired of boring outlines, this is for you. Watch the magic happen: youtu.be/K9kGHtJyXwQ

That 5.9 Russo Bros movie #TheElectricState isn't a flop, it's a documentary about the #AIslop apocalypse and us being the baddies. It's smarter than you think. My deep dive explains why it's essential viewing for our tech future. youtu.be/c7AwvpxSQko

Plot twist: I accidentally wrote a how-to guide instead of my next thriller. It involves dice, slaying writer's block, and a statistical argument about Stephen King (don't worry, I'm not insane). 📚💙 Come see the glorious mess I've made: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/plot-twist...

Keanu's knees have officially filed for divorce from the John Wick franchise. So who carries the torch? Ana de Armas, and she doesn't just carry it. She uses it as a weapon. My full review on why this is the Wick movie we needed is up now: youtu.be/OaMXz8IuXPI

Would you reconnect thru: A) Phone call. B) A beer. C) Avenging a federal agent by dismantling a human trafficking ring. The Wolff brothers go with C. #TheAccountant2 masterfully uses its action to show why sometimes "I love you" sounds a lot like the safety clicking off: youtu.be/X4rBUEP-dSE

In a triumph for justice, I'm opening up ARCs for book two, The Undefeated Throne 📚💙 For people who missed book 1, I've re-opened ARCs for that so you can catch up ICYMI. rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/cover-reve... to get on that cool kids club.

Netflix's Nimona almost died when Disney axed it at 70% done. What survived? A pink shapeshifter masterpiece about radical acceptance that hits harder than any lecture on othering. Chloë Grace Moretz + Riz Ahmed = vocal perfection. Worth your subscription alone. parrydox.com/why-you-like...

Archive (2020) had everything for sci-fi greatness: stunning visuals, brilliant performances, mind-bending AI ethics. Then "it was all a dream" 🤖💔 90 mins of masterful storytelling destroyed by cinema's most insulting trope. Could've been a classic. youtu.be/p5QT-U7tbXk #FilmReview #SciFi

My trust issues with IMDb scores continue! 😅 #TheGorge (w/ #MilesTeller #AnyaTaylorJoy) is way better than its 6.7. Think US/RU rivals on the worst remote assignment ever... and some romance, monsters, & gun kata. My new video on why it's a masterclass: youtu.be/F7ZpfcWkic0

So, the Pope's from Chicago now, and I'm over here recommending #DisciplesLiberation (a game I actually uninstalled 🫠). It's got a gritty story & roided up tactics. Read/watch/listen to my conflicted review on why YOU might love it: parrydox.com/why-you-migh... #GameReview #ItsMeNotYou

I'm so happy: 100 subscribers! Thanks, Thoughtful Hundred™ 🧠📽️❤️ No clickbait. No shouting. Just focus on storytelling with heart, occasional insight, and movies/books/games that actually mean something. Turns out the quiet voices aren’t speaking into the void: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Just dropped a new vid on #MissionImpossible The Final Reckoning. That's the one with biplanes and the AI villain loses to a guy with legs. #Cruise runs like time itself is collapsing & #Atwell ’s a scene thief, but I was only mildly entertained. 🎥 Read/listen/watch: parrydox.com/why-you-were...

#Doom: The Dark Ages is a game that asks, “What if Doom Slayer had feelings… and a flail?” It’s smarter Doom, with full armour for the princess and shirtless dad energy. Read/watch/listen: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/why-you-li... #DoomTheDarkAges #GameReview #StorytellingInGames

Just dropped a new deep dive on #TheAccountant, the only film bold enough to ask, “What if #JohnWick had a pocket protector and audited cartels for fun?” Ben Affleck plays an autistic action hero, and it slaps hard. Read / watch / listen: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/why-you-li...

If you missed your opportunity for ARC round one on the Three Faces of Fate, I've opened round two. Also: speaking of the number two, here's your 📚💙 cover reveal for the sequel 👌🏼 rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/did-you-mi...

Just posted my deep-dive on #StarWars Jedi: #FallenOrder. Gritty, heartfelt, and one of the best Star Wars stories... ever. Not just about becoming a Jedi! It’s about doing the next right thing. Read/watch/listen: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/why-you-li... #BD1DeservesAnOscar #BD1Forever

I wanted to like the new #CaptainBlood demo, but those controls, dawg. They made me believe late-stage syphilis is alive and well. Those choices aren’t peak game design, they’re a cry for help.

✨ 24 days in a magical town. A gentle fantasy about healing, community, and second chances. You can now download the full #Hearthlight story as a free ebook 💛 Audio versions still live, if you’d rather listen. 👉 rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/the-hearth...

Hell, I remember Emirikol the Chaotic - never remembered the guy had a name but I totally remember that art 🤣 My fave of the time was the rust monster sketch. You know the one: #dailynerdpic

In all the excitement of tear-assing through my Star Wars habit, I forgot to share this here! My best picks for #MaytheFourth #StarWarsDay - I talk #RogueOne to #RepublicCommando. rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/why-you-li...

New #Review: The Three Faces of Fate by @parrydox.com #bookreview #bookblogger #bookshine #TheThreeFacesOfFate #DawnsWarden #fantasy #urbanfantasy #superheroes #mythology #action #series

🚨 Launch day! The Three Faces of Fate is OUT 🖤 Not about lone heroes. It’s about the broken ones who still show up. Isolde. Aidan. Cassius. Jen. Four against the dark. 💙📚 Read: www.books2read.com/TheThreeFace... 🎧 Stream the full 14-track soundtrack everywhere. You've got a world to save.

I always agonise on release day. Is the book everything it could have been? Woke up to this humbling start to the day. Thank you.

Hell to the yes! Just found one of my favourite book bloggers (@bookshineblog.bsky.social) is on BlueSky. Steph has such a great range of books she covers, and her reviews always dig into the heart of the story. A primary source of good reads in my household.

A nice discount for an excellent game. I actually reviewed this one - it's got a lot of found family vibes and a strong feeling of friendship, laced with Elden Ring-levels of exploration and discovery. youtu.be/Z0evEdTpOak

Time to meet the enemy! They're done hiding. In The Three Faces of Fate, they’re shock troops fond of painting their hats with your blood. Tonight’s pre-launch chapter is where the claws come out, paired with its own track. 💙📚 Read and 🎧 listen: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/redcap-bas...

🎁 Day 23 of #Hearthlight is live. Before leaving the hamlet, I've a few thank-yous to deliver (🐾 and yes, Maxwell gets a collar tag). Read or listen: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/the-hearth...

💙📚 Some heroes are made. Some are born. Cassius fell. Not demon. Not human. Biker chic by day. Shadow by night. Golden blood. Old sins. No forgiveness coming. 🖤 Meet Cassius in today’s intro chapter + track: Fallen Wings: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/fallen-win... #booksky #skywriters

Put my books back on Google Play (after D2D distribution woe from Ages Past, finally got a round tuit). Result: 0 sales. Not even a pity click. 🤣 Discovery’s tough, man. Feels like I launched into a void, and the void left me on read.

💙📚 Sparks in the dark. Jen doesn’t fight with swords or spells. She fights with code. Chapter 2 of The Three Faces of Fate is live. Come meet the hacker who sees the monsters before they see you. 🎧 New track: Codebreaker & her 📖 new chapter 👇 rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/codebreake...

💙📚 Some heroes carry swords. Aidan carries old magic… and a satchel full of secrets. Chapter 1 of The Three Faces of Fate is live. Meet the druid who remembers what the world forgot. 🎧 New track: Roots of the Old World & 📖 New chapter 👇 rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/roots-of-t...
