One has been struggling with a spot of art block since the holidays, so the traditional new years doodle is a bit late.
Happy to say I'm mostly past it now and ready to crack on with the year.

There isn't a pit deep or dark enough for the malicious cretins who sold a reliable and profitable public postal service for buttons.
400 years to build and less than a decade to utterly ruin.

Somehow somewhere down the line people confused the care and reverance one takes with rare antique first editions... and trying not to drop ones 20 year old dogeared copy of Guards Guards in the bath too often.

Horror Month Question: Who is your favourite horror game side character?

It's actually very hard to pick just one, but i'll have to go with my girl Cybil Bennet on this one.

Oh yeah the whole bit is quite nerve wracking, took a good few goes. 😅

Dooooo it!
What impressed most is it's actually genuinely scary in certain sections and it's the closest to the kind of fear I had playing the originals.

There is that yes.
At least karma ensured that the shows terminally abominable writing crescendoed so spectacularly in the final series that it all but deleted this cultural behemoth from public discourse.

It was a criminal waste of talent and time on this earth.

I love how you can guess the date of a menu not merely by price, but by the level of Barker/Cronenberg body horror the tomato's have been subjected too.

It's so disheartening when that happens. 😭
I've managed to avoid any thus far so I'm powering through.
I do hate that we can't really take our time to enjoy these things without having to become complete offline hermits.

I've yet to be convinced to watch the Goonies. As for GoT, I enjoyed the books but the TV adaptation was like eating a whole multi pack of Walkers crisps, against all evidence and better judgement one expected there to be more contents and substance than was ever going to be.

It's strange seeing the fallout of this wash up on my own little shoreline, whole areas of my home city Liverpool are being cordoned off for major 'Hollywood' film productions with growing regularity. When I was born the city had been functionally abandoned by the state, now it's a 'destination'.
