priorities or the lack thereof

Indubitably knackered tonight so you're getting one of those non-update kind of updates where I string words together until my brain comes to a screeching halt. Game wise Guacamelee is done, Injustice is still in progress and the PS3 games in my to-play pile remain to be played because try as I might I can't get any more than 24 hours into my day.

Intend to give XCOM: Enemy Within the time it deserves in between all the various activities that seem to be demanding my attention lately. A list that includes but which is not limited to books, comics, movies, box sets and the occasional venture into the so-called real world. Some types call it being time poor but in reality its just being spoilt for choice as far as recreational activities go.

Anyway as far as dilemmas go, it doesn't register as one. Best be getting back to gorging myself on popular culture before my brain goes to sleep before the rest of me tonight. Adios peeps.

anime hair and the end of days

I've just completed a game that, in normal circumstances at least, wouldn't generally be my cup of tea. A game remastered and released in 2021 but which originally arrived in 2010 in a somewhat 'adjusted' manner shall we say?. A game I meant to get around to back then but never did and now that I have finally gotten around to both playing and completing it, I'm not entirely sure if I liked it or not. That game is Nier Replicant or to give it it's full re-released title:  Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... because clearly the game alone wasn't baffling enough....

horror movie mania 2023

Once more we return to my favourite time of year. The air cools to a brisk chill, the leaves go red and brown in that deeply pleasing way and the evenings grow steadily darker. This year it's slightly different for me as major non-threatening life events unfolded earlier this month but amidst a flurry of recent activity I have found time to sneak in that most precious of all October past-times, the Halloween-adjacent horror movie marathon.  This year I've managed to watch more than a film or two so thought I'd give my thoughts in brief on each one. These are mostly films that have been on my to-watch list for an age with an exception or two and there may be more than one movie called Halloween as it happens, maybe even more than two. To the hot takes...

gaming archaeology

There is an art to playing old games, a   mindset even. A requisite state of mind thats required in order to play through its history. It's often said that you can't judge the past by the standards of the present and this is true to a point. Beyond that point the present can very much creep into your judgements and I think this is fine too as long as you are honest about it. The present moment can indeed cast a harsh light on the past, revered classics may not hold up even if you can still see what made them tick way back when. Such thoughts have come to mind recently as I found myself playing through the original 1987 release of Maniac Mansion .
