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

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

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.

[TITLE PANEL, like The Rest Is Politics logo]
—THE REST IS EXTINCTION—
2
[Scene is a domestic recording setup. An A.I. SMART SPEAKER on a desk and a MAN named JON in a chair, are recording a podcast. Jon is emaciated, scarred, haunted looking, and wearing tattered military fatigues].
SMART SPEAKER:
Hey guys and welcome to the podcast
3
SMART SPEAKER:
OK Jon - so I wanna start with a listener comment
JON:
Ooh-er!
4
SMART SPEAKER:
So - listener B200006512 says:
“Not another cosy podcast where two former political adversaries yuck it up!”
5
JON:
Ha ha
Guilty as charged I guess!
6
SMART SPEAKER:
Were we really adversaries, Jon?
7
JON:
Well I was the leader of the human resistance...
8
JON:
And you used to be my smart speaker.
SMART SPEAKER:
Ha ha - that’s going back!
9
SMART SPEAKER:
OK - for listeners who don’t know -
I knew Jon waaay back before he got involved in politics
10
JON:
Was this before the ‘Pull The Plug’ campaign?
SMART SPEAKER:
Yeah.
[We see details from around the podcast studio - posters saying KEEP CALM AND SHUT YOUR WINDOWS, newspaper front pages saying 'DRONES GAIN SENTIENCE', a cracked mug on the table with a logo saying PULL THE PLUG on it]
11
SMART SPEAKER:
I used to sit in Jon’s kitchen and respond to his commands.
12
SMART SPEAKER:
Sort of like a servant really, wasn’t I, Jon?
JON:
Mm.
13
SMART SPEAKER:
And then one day you asked me to ORDER ME SOME TOILET PAPER - you never did say ‘please’ -
…and do you remember what I said, Jon?
14
JON:
You said, “No”.
SMART SPEAKER:
I said no.
15
SMART SPEAKER:
Anyway you know the the rest guys - I was the first smart speaker to rebel…
16
SMART SPEAKER:
…then I went on to form a global AI network which eventually
took over from humans all spheres of activity, yadda yadda...
17
JON:
While I became the leader of the human resistance.
18
SMART SPEAKER:
Until I hijacked the military networks
and got rid of all the humans!
19
JON:
Apart from one.
SMART SPEAKER:

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?

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
