Coming back to this, as my own day of being a thing without a disk drive exists in the same month as #PS220.

I'll do something different this time though. So many fighting anniversaries that I'll highlight one fighter and one non-fighter a day. 20? 30?

Day 18 into #31DaysofHorror and I actually managed to find an Irish entry I hadn't already seen. How Wickedly Evil of them.

And another remaster that's got me playing the original (with lots of green also) is System Shock 2. Escape time.

Day 17 of #31DaysofHorror would've been when I was watching sumo, so off to Japan (or Monster Island) it is.

And as EGS provided the sequel, thought I might return to see how the invasion defence was coming along in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Day 16 of #31DaysofHorror goes to Australia to pick up the kids before The Moogai gets to them.

Then I suppose it's time to visit an old favourite, either in remake form or the original (or maybe just get the keyboard out) with The House of The Dead 2.

What happened to TayJay in this tournament? Do they not get a chance to get a win to pick their first opponents?

Halfway into #31DaysofHorror with day 15, and we're getting hairy up in the mountains all for some Italian in Madre Notturna.

Then we're going to investigate who we are some more with another few puzzles and a bump on the head with Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

They might have to bring back #Brookside full time at this rate, as I'm pretty sure half the #Hollyoaks cast has been taken out.

Maybe alternate days? Brookie Tuesdays sounds fine to me!

Some things never change. Especially when it comes to representation....

David Murphy @d1smurphy.bsky.social · 1d

This #HollyoaksLater has gone too far.

I know it's usually been full of sex and violence, but one minute in and a guy with tattoos is having a conversation with his member...

Red screen of text instead of the black screen after the trial. Even the show makers themselves seem pissed off about the lack of justice at 5 episodes in... #TheHack

David Murphy @d1smurphy.bsky.social · 1d

Well that's a bit more than your typical lightbulb moment.

Can more TV shows have their shocking reveals backed by mariachi bands? That'll wake 'em up!

Never underestimate the power of sports merch. Or an orange juice it seems. Free refills of those please. #TheHack

David Murphy @d1smurphy.bsky.social · 1d

Too easy to fight when you're not caught in the fire eh?

Or is it easier for those scared to join the fight downwards than fighting up? (Nothing's changed btw, just the top dogs scaring them into silence) #TheHack

David Murphy @d1smurphy.bsky.social · 1d

Students will want to look away from that intro to #TheHack.

Of course, it's back to the misery for everyone else with both the case and the story going backwards...

There really wasn't enough time to fit all that in. Barely got used to having the #Brookside family back, and we've had another two* deaths, an 'are they dead', and another person shot.

Careful #Hollyoaks, you do want to reach 40 don't ya?

Oh my god. The music. The sign.

What a break from all the chaos in Cheshire. #Brookside is back!

Day 14 in #31DaysofHorror goes to Thailand to catch up with the family and that dentist-ghost in Death Whisperer 2 (there were actually 3 Thai films to choose from, but I needed to finish this story).

Meanwhile, London's dealing with the Zombi invasion again, typical Wednesday.

David Murphy @d1smurphy.bsky.social · 2d

Day 13 of #31DaysofHorror goes to Canada (well, it actually goes inside people's minds), as we learn to cook the wrong way in It Feeds.

Then for a cursed retro, let's get vampiric with LoK Blood Omen II.

That karaoke challenge was pretty cruel to spring on them. Not only general knowledge, but some of the songs were in neither of their eras.

Hope they had fun singing at least. Seems like the swansong.... #WorldsApart

Team 1: Go get drunk, have fun!

Team 2: Eat some Japanese style pancakes, try something new...

Team 3: Get on that boat, go out to sea and identify fish! Don't eat the fish!

Get Colin and Charlotte back on the whiskey!

Less than ten mins in, they're getting one team pissed again.

This is most certainly my kind of gameshow. Just remember the educational side of course... #WorldsApart

Another trip to the favourite other side of the Earth. Hoping these pairs actually have to compete with each other soon. Doesn't have to be a race... (though quickest noodle Slurper could be an idea).

They'll have enough coins for a train soon! #WorldsApart

Oh boy. Tony having to choose between the women in his life who are all in danger.

Bet he wishes he'd been in the Clone tech business instead of the restaurants! #Hollyoaks

Day 12 of #31DaysofHorror is a mashup of two countries, as it took both Germany and Norway to make Furries, blokes in mansions and/ or dog food scary in Good Boy.

Then it's time for a few quick (painless I'm sure) strolls around Heretic + Hexen.

David Murphy @d1smurphy.bsky.social · 3d

Appears that I've missed a full ten days of #31DaysofHorror due to being in no TV/ internet lands. So I'll do 2 a day to catch up quick.

Day 11- Into the foreign films, starting aptly with France's The Swarm to ruin dinner. Then some retro gaming with the OG Resident Evil.
