sleep mode

Well this has been a week or so ongoing of me being perpetually bereft of the energy required to blog like the proverbial mofo that I am. Nothing but memes and apologies for memes because who doesn't look reading those? Well me for a start.

The bad news is I'm still in low energy mode. That said I don't expect it to last very the much longer. All the usual reasons apply i.e work, job, life etc. Just not the time or inclination left in me to type away about my days exploits. My adventures in mundane everyday life not being the stuff of legend if I'm honest, they'd barely make a good mid-afternoon made-for-TV movie drama. That's the bottom of the particular barrel I'm scraping here.

The good news is my aforementioned list of favourite games is still in the making. Having moved on from being a vague scribble in a notebook its now a slightly more legible scribble that, when looked upon in the right light, almost reads like words and shit. That'll be stage two then. Suffice to say there's a rough list of games in some kind of order and a few allotted words next to them summing up why they're there. Expect a rather more refined, filtered and articulate arrangement of these words shortly.

As for me, its time to go back into sleep mode. Recharge the parts of my brain that usually provide the nonsense I pass off as credible blog writing. Adios!

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 .
