Whoever thought a Firehouse could be so welcoming--even a home: the Ghostbusters, that's who. I've been playing Spirits Unleashed again and spending most of my time in our awesome hangout. - store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/e...

Manhunt, still kicking my ass all these years later, and yet, I keep playing.

Stephen Wilds @wilds.bsky.social · 4d

Oh shit, you might be right. May have to look into that.

Haha. Yea, I had to pick this up.

We're probably going to be waiting a while for more Alien: Earth, but that doesn't mean I can't make some bold (ridiculous) predictions about season 2. - www.superherohype.com/features/632...

I put some thoughts down about Alien: Earth's first season and how changing direction can help and hurt a growing little, ugly lifeform. - 8bitdigi.com/review-alien...

It's just weird because it's David Schwimmer.

We also finished Invincible (2021) season 3, finally. Love this show, just hate waiting. Feel like this season may have even been a little better than the last. Need more, need to finish the comics.

Then there was Breast Men (1997), an HBO semi-historical movie about the two doctors who invented modern breast implants. This has a ton of nudity in it and a few uncomfortable scenes, but the story comes together nicely for a tragic tale of their rise and fall that I enjoyed.

Stephen Wilds @wilds.bsky.social · 7d

Next up was A Town Has Turned to Dust (1998 Remake), a Syfy movie (you know that's quality), with Ron Perlman doing his best in a classic story written by Rod Serling, but it is quite uneventful and a little anticlimactic.

Stephen Wilds @wilds.bsky.social · 7d

I saw two bad made-for-TV movies, both not good enough to recommend for any reason. The first was Mr. Murder (1998), a two-part story by Dean Koontz that's a great idea with poor execution, featuring some weak acting from Stephen Baldwin. It's about clones, but somehow boring.

Stephen Wilds @wilds.bsky.social · 7d

We watched The Naked Gun (2025), and I can't say I was too pleased. There were a few good gags, mostly repurposed older bits, one or two subtle humorous moments that worked over time. Mostly, it was a handful of over-the-top scenes that kept me from gelling with it. Doubt I'll ever watch it again.

Spooky season is upon us, and I'm already busting ghosts, or trying to at least, but the truth is, I'm spending most of my time hanging out in the awesome firehouse. They have Twinkies! - store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/e...

Well, I was right, 007 Legends' last mission had me yelling. I beat it, but at what cost?

The cost was waking my wife up with my rage...
