Starting off my "Watch movies I have on my shelf" resolution with a Blu Ray I nabbed fairly recently solely because it was a Chang Cheh movie.
(Also, obligatory Eddie Izzard ref: "Did you bring a flag?")

Meanwhile! I'm slowly getting my stuff together to release my second indie published book, THE CATAPHRACT ERRANT, in the near future! (Probably going to be early January?)
Which means I've got to get the back blurb written. So, question is, would this make you want to pick the book up?

Sat down and popped in my Vinegar Syndrome Blu-Ray of Robo Warriors, 'cause who doesn't love direct to video #mecha nonsense from 1996?
This is one of those flicks that TRIES very hard, but doesn't quite stick the landing. But it's still got giant robots shooting lasers, so I can't complain.

So I may run #BladesintheDark next year, which means I'm looking back at the short campaign I ran back during quarantine, which means I get to share this conspiracy board I wound up making as part of that game. Good times>

And if that last pic didn't tip you off, Chrono Trigger's character design was done by the late, great Akira Toriyama.
Which means we get all kinds of fun designs, including "What if Bulma was allowed to get into fights?"

Or, there's a part where you get captured and the bad guys take all your weapons so you can't fight.
Except, one of the characters is a fur bikini-clad cavewoman who's so strong she doesn't NEED weapons, which means if she's in your party at the time, she can just demolish everything in her path.

Oh hey, because nobody asked for it, have some trivia!
As today, 11/11, is PEPERO DAY!
#Pepero, for the unaware, is basically Korean Pocky.
And on Nov 11, you're supposed to give some to somebody you like, as the little candy-sticks stand side by side, like a couple. As do the digits in 11/11.
