Anyone playing The Alters? I’m pretty obsessed but the sun is getting closer on Act 2 and I’m panicking I didn’t explore fast enough. #LevelUpEdu #gamer #survivalgames

#ResidentEvil marathon this weekend. Currently on Apocalypse. I’ve often thought it would be much more effective to fight crime and be an overall gun wielding badass in a blue bustier and a mini skirt instead of a uniform..or armor..or some other protective nonsense. #gamer

Today’s entertainment: 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later then 28 Years Later at the movies tonight. I feel like you would appreciate this marathon @adoom98.bsky.social 😅 #horrorfan

I built a game with UEFN at a game jam this weekend!

It’s about gathering ingredients for the perfect burger in a journey through the multiverse with parkour, stealth, and hidden item mechanics.

I loved designing the “bun” planet.

A group of four people—three men and one woman—stand smiling under purple lighting in front of the Unreal Fest Game Jam stage backdrop. Each person is holding a pink cake pop, celebrating their teamwork. The background features branding for Full Sail University, Unreal Engine, MSI, and the event’s retro game-themed graphics.

A selfie taken at the Unreal Fest Game Jam with a woman in the foreground smiling and three teammates seated behind her at a row of tables, all working on laptops. Two teammates flash peace signs, and the room is lit with stage lights and spotlights, giving a festive, energetic atmosphere. Other developers are seen working in the background.

Let me know what you think after!

Kelly McNeil | EduGamerGal @edugamergal.bsky.social · May 30

I thought it was delightful and literally laughed out loud in the theater at the absurdity. It completely made fun of itself, had some Easter eggs and the acting was honestly decent. Was also a nice full circle moment on the Tony Todd character 👀 It’s not 5 star cinema, but it’s quite fun.

I think Final Destination could also be titled “Rube Goldberg gone horrifically awry” although that’s not quite as catchy…

Kelly McNeil | EduGamerGal @edugamergal.bsky.social · May 27

Ok. Omg. I had no idea how many Easter eggs were in each subsequent film and I had a blast picking them out (and I’m sure I missed plenty). It is absolute ridiculous horror but it was fun. I got tickets to see Bloodlines tomorrow night!

Hehe I’ll still do the cinema self date but wanted to chill indoors today. It started storming 🤩 (although it does every afternoon in Florida this time of year lol). Just wrapped up 1. Moving on to 2. Reminded me of pre travel days when I was deathly afraid of flying 😅 log trucks next I think!

Kelly McNeil | EduGamerGal @edugamergal.bsky.social · May 25

So. Just finished Blue Prince this morning (ok, Day 38, not “finished” but got through antechamber to credits).
Thought about going to movie theater solo to see the new Final Destination but my mood is telling me to marathon the series fully solo (at home lol). Thoughts @adoom98.bsky.social ? 😅

What does "Powerful Learning" mean to you?

#EduSky #LevelUpEdu #AIinEdu #YouthMADE

Colorful graphic with the words "Powerful Learning" illustrated in bold, playful fonts. Each letter is integrated with educational-themed icons: a VR headset, pencil, gears, magnifying glass, lightbulb, mobile device, robot arm, and digital collaboration symbols. The imagery conveys technology-enhanced, engaging, and student-centered learning.

Depends on how much of a purist you are and your feelings on remakes. I don't have the original to compare it to but I liked the remake. It was brooding and spooky. It devolved into the gore and chaos a bit later on and I def couldn't have handled that all the way through lol. My verdict: Yes

I’ve actually only seen the Suspiria remake with Dakota Johnson. Did you watch the original?
