Whoever dmed me - please don’t. We can’t access messages in the UK on social media without handing over our identity data. I can’t see it or respond to it and it just leaves an unclearable notification

Won my first game of Sabacc!

I swear if any of you mention that the first game is fixed for training purposes, I may have to block you 😂

I did not know that my life was missing an Edward Gorey style alphabet of #Tolkien deaths... but then one arrived in today's delivery!

My Star Wars Outlaws arrived earlier, so starting that tonight as well.

It won’t be proper pulp adventure Star Wars which seems to be long since gone sadly, but hopefully pass as a decent grungy space opera setting

It certainly performs well on the Switch 2

We have some amazing authors leaving us at the end of the year. This is the last chance to grab some of these incredible titles and support them for the foreseeable future.

All books in our store are 25% with the code NORTHODOXMAS until the new year

Whilst I await Star Wars Outlaws, it is time for my eighth Castlevania of the year: Order of Ecclesia

This will be the last of the handheld games excluding anything from the 3DS era. I need to check if I own that one

A shame given how much sheer quality has been produced in a single year across multiple genres. Probably the stand out publisher for 2025

In other words, go to their site and buy some books
🚨STATEMENT🚨

We know there have been rumours circulating and we've been investigating all avenues to continue in extremely difficult circumstances, both industry-wise and within the team.

The support from our readers and writers means the world to us.

Game Completion 18: Metroid Prime Remastered

A tough and long boss fight got a bit irritating and a lost scan scuppered going for 100%. It’s otherwise one of the best Metroid games. Simply superb game.

80% items
99% scans

Last few years I've tried to squeeze in "bucket list" reads. Last year was Book of the New Sun. Previously Dune and Frankenstein

I still have E. R. Eddison's Zimiamvian books, Earthsea, Varney the Vampire (1845), le Morte D'Arthur or The Water Margin on the list

Anyone else have bucket list reads?

Next up is my #dinovember read, Inland Deep by Richard Tooker (1936) to kickstart my lost world tbr catch up, which is getting quite vast now.

Still going with The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson in the background (1912). Should finish it just after the weekend

Starship Fall by Eric Brown

Quite a lot of book mail across sci fi and horror this week, but the cherry on top is this sequel to one of my favourite books. Exciting!

The next two novellas are £50-£100 so won’t be getting those

Last post to the sci fi feed since it’s devolved into adverts now

Book 84: The Running Man by Stephen King

That was OK I guess. A bleak society, not entirely well executed but still thought provoking (but too heavy on racist language). The concept was better than the execution. I’d have liked more gameshow focus and less gratuitous action

Arnie film tonight

The rest arrived today:

SFF short stories by N. K. Jemisin, another Eric Brown from PS Publishing, and new release SF—Project Hanuman by @stewarthotston.com (pub by @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social )

See you after winter..!
