Was listening to some game music, and a track from Second Samurai came on. Thought to myself - that must be the most Amiga-ass game of all time - BUT looked it up on YT, and it's not the one I'm thinking of!

Heading into the weekend with a pretty folk classic that's just so much fun to sing.

Would love if you'd take a listen 🧡

Last week I promised another Rasputina cover was coming, and I'm immensely proud of this one.

It's such an upsetting song, but I feel like it's more poignant than ever today...

In the late 90s, all us gothy gals heard this song at Drusilla's party and fell in love, so this one has been a long time coming...

Blessed Samhain, and Happy Halloween!

If you’ve ever loved #bloodbowl, you’ll know who Pete Knifton is, from his artwork.
Sadly, Pete passed away last night. He was a funny, clever and immensely talented guy who always had time to chat. He’ll be very much missed.

Using Lord of the Rings for your nazi propoganda makes me uniquely angry. The series that dedicates its final chapters to our protagonists coming back from the war and having to save their once peaceful home from a fascist takeover? That series?!

One of the Warhammer 40k background conceits that seems to trouble people parsing the most is the idea that advanced tech became standardized and ubiquitous, and then people forgot how it worked and now rely on folklore, mysticism and blind faith to keep it going.

The copy of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1st edition that my my (best) friend ran for us in the early 90s was second hand - written on the inside cover below the logo but some unknown scribe:

"No rest for us tough guys"
archaeological layers of graphite where stats, stories & glorious deeds have been recorded, erased & recommitted to paper time & again, a palimpsest of gaming memories

Like, one of my favourite things about buying old games off eBay is when you get someone’s old, used character sheet in with a box

I worked (albeit distantly) with Itagaki san on Devil's Third. He was 100% his public persona professionally; passionate, enigmatic, abrasive and hilarious. His English turn of phrase was singular and wonderful. As he signed off back then:

"Thanks always, mates"
Former Team Ninja boss Tomonobu Itagaki has passed away, as confirmed by his Facebook and personal friends. "Words of departure - my life's light is about to run out." www.facebook.com/tomonobu.ita...

In #Efteling. Wondering whether there's a version of Efteling down the street where the intent is similar but the vibes are off - A Universal to Efteling's Disney. Then I realised, that's every theme park in the UK.

and that's only what i was part of!
imagine how much more the site facilitated that went to various causes.

So that sounds great - but!

It's essentially the same high concept as the semi-recent Ultimates reboot at Marvel. I don't know which one came first btw.

My question: Is this kind of thing, 'Marvel take on a DC thing/vice-versa' a bug or a feature of superhero comics?

I am really suspicious of anyone who says variations of "(music genre) is mostly rubbish these days" - and doubly so when the genre is pop.

Sure, some new music is bad, and some old music is better than it, but the level of unprovable assumption in these kinds of statements says something. IMHO.

On this Taylor Swift Day, a new Appendix N just dropped:
Why, yes, that is a vintage 1st Edition Blood Bowl board. Although Jervis's folk-football focused rewrite of Warhammer, Leesons surprisingly political Grange Hill novels, Bitmap Bros Speedball and ofc Jewisons Rollerball will get added in the next official update!
