Currently watch The Conjuring: Last Rites - finally... so far this is much better than the third film (3 was meh). Old lady ghost and the mirror room... freaky as shit.

Look we got enough doom and gloom in real life news, lets try to not spread that to a new game announcement or trailer. Let people have their excitement. People now more then ever need ways to escape the everyday stress of life and the world. Let's protect our fun and peace.

I'm not good... ugh. I hate not being good. I don't know what to do with myself.

So last night, I dreamt that my forearm skin just slid down and there was nothing underneath but a PVC pipe... I freaked out to my wife in my dream having an existential crisis that I thought I knew what we were, flesh and bones... but we are cheap constructs.

I woke up this morning like...

Ooooh... thats why they keep making Jurassic World movies (and I'm a JP nut so I keep seeing 'em)... even the awful ones passed $1b. I'd keep making em too!
All 60 movies that have crossed $1B at the global box office 💰

I think my goal this year is going to be to serve others. Maybe try the old "finding myself by losing myself" approach. Besides nothing bad can ever come from spreading kindness.

Best advice I can give anyone. If you're on meds (for a reason) don't go off your meds.

I say this, and will probably have to relearn this again... like I've done before.

I used to enjoy turn-based RPGs as a kid. I've since gotten tired of them (Baldur's Gate 3 being the exception). But literally EVERYONE told me to not sleep on Expedition 33. My sister even bought it for me for Christmas telling me the same.

3 hours in... and I'm mesmerized

Christmas Pickle platinumed... finally figured out that damn star puzzle lol. Janky, but quirky little game.

Haha yeah because nothing says great pizza like a licensed, corporate brand.

Maybe this will prove me wrong lol... something inside me doubts it though.
Finally some good fucking Pizza in LA

100% Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Order of Giants. Holy frickin hell what an experience. I'm giddy as hell and can't wait for more... sadly, I'll have to.

After playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, I firmly believe Machine Games should do Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! 2

One of my fondest memories of my childhood is the original Indiana Jones trilogy. I am such a huge fan. I purposely waited on Great Circle until I could get a PS5 Pro

Now knee deep in it, I am floored. I'm a kid again. This is Indiana Jones. Machine Games knocked this out of the park & into orbit.

Merry Christmas Eve, ya filthy animals. I made cheddar biscuit sausage balls as a contribution to my wife's smorgasbord.

I told the fam I can't wait for them to taste my balls.

What the hell? I'm being festive.... FOR Christmas... and these southern Bible folk give me weird looks. I can't do anything right... 😪

I know, right? It's like they wanted him to go viral again by pulling a ton of wild instruments from a hidden Mary Poppins bag.

"And this one is just somethin we through together with a glue gun & pvc pipe from Home Depot - pretend like you're playing it. They'll eat that shit up."
I can’t stop thinking about him.

It's that time of year for great Christmas movies like Batman Returns where I'm reminded annually that Penguin once said in reference to killing everyone indiscriminately:

"Hell, the sexes are equal with their erogeneous zones blown sky-high!"

Yeah - thats a fun piece of writing.
