Good heavens, I didn't know this fabulous video is on YouTube. It's lovely to see my friends and neighbours Brian and Wendy Froud when they were still so very young! I've spent the last year helping them with a new book (we're not allowed to reveal the subject yet), which will be out in autumn 2026.

I showed Mr. Cooke King’s College Chapel, Trinity College, and St. John’s College Library; and that being done, to our inn again.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

To stop transgender people doing crimes we've made up in our head, we're going to commit real crimes, that will show everyone!

that whispery voice may as well be shouting directly into my ear. It's somehow the loudest noise in existence.

I don't know what's more funnier/horrific, Kermit as Pinhead saying "We've such sights to show you" or Beaker just saying "Mi mi mi mi mi!" all the way through, although Gonzo would make logical sense as he is a weirdo into experimentation. Swedish Chef is Frank.

Heck, gonna use this as a starter to talk about games I love with demos on the Next Fest right now

First up just had to be BRNO Transit, by the makers of HROT (an FPS I fucking LOVE)

Brutalist, surrealist psychological horror where you get to drive trains between claustrophobic stations?
So good

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

Oh jeez that's so hard! So many good candidates. Sidney, Ripley, Nearly went with Ginny from Friday 13th Part 2, or Stevie in The Fog. Grace from Ready or Not. But I'm gonna say Rhonda from Trick r Treat.

Ah I love Kathy Rain 2 so much. I love how both games are designed to really make you feel like a proper private investigator.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I didn't even know discog did sales. I thought it was just a wiki. I usually get my records off ebay and we have two record shops nearby.
