Channeling my inner livejournal-blogging teenager for a solo run of Slugblaster. Quickly rocketing up my to-play list for my home game!

A fantastic fight down a tightening path coiled around a pit of lava. Miraculously no one fell in…

Book #1 of 2025 is Animorphs 1 - The Invasion. God damn this book fucking slaps. Even now. Action, tragedy, conspiracy, animal lore, sci fi, golden retrievers, aliens, thermals… Its heart is matched only by its brutality. You bet I cried at that final scene, just like I did almost 30 years ago.

End of the year. A horrible, horrible year. But I played many games. Lots and lots of games. Here’s to 2025. Better times and maybe even better games. Much love, friends.

Book #10 of 2024 was Song of Achilles. Surprising nobody, I loved it. I especially enjoyed the first half’s exploration of self discovery, and the beautiful ending. 😭 And I really felt that shift in tense towards the end…

Been out to enjoy the immersive experience Viola’s Room and on the train home I’ve caught the immersive Charizard EX. That’s all three immersive cards caught now, and a night of immersive entertainment. Immersive immersive immersive.

Ben Whishaw in Black Doves is giving big Alan Wake energy. Not a casting I would ever have considered, but now I’m convinced. Three episodes in, Black Doves is great. Get on it if you’re not already.

Huh, Secret Level frontloading with the B-team, it seems. Not watched any yet, reviews were... interesting. At least maybe perhaps we can start on a high with Dungeons and Dragons? 🤞🤞

Blood Omen is basically Curse of Strahd, if Strahd travelled across Barovia killing or corrupting everyone he meets. Hmm, so basically the same.
But also he wears hot bone armour.

Allowed myself to actually play a video game (remember those?) yesterday. It was Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. An old favourite, played on my new PS1-styled PS5 controller. Felt appropriate. 🥲

Pretty much! But not *your* catalogue. At the moment it’s a set bunch of 100+ games from the current Plus selection. But they range from retro to indie to AAA. Solid collection.
