Hey y'all, my name is Ash.
I'm a weird unit that likes reviewing games, interviewing cool folk and making the odd video. You can find 99.98% of my stuff at www.well-played.com.au
I also like Transformers, wild 80s films and Warhammer - but never in a standoffish or gatekeepery way.
Hit me up.

“He hasn’t been the same since his injuries,” warns Jaskier ... as his companion’s vowels once again escape their restraints and make for Erinsborough. Our hero does his best to compensate by mumbling incomprehensibly ... “Grrrnnngh”, he says. “Grrrnnngh destiny rrmmph.”
I hope someone reviews something I made with the wit and panache of this review.

Not trying to be weepy, but without realising I went to shake out the blankets I have on my lounge suite.
I took them outside, shook them, and then it hit me *WHY* I do this.
Cat hair. I do it to shake off the cat hair.
My cats who passed nearly 12 months ago.
It hit my chest like a brick.

The absolute cowardice to refuse to engage, knowing full well they are wringing their hands and hollowy echoing "No such thing as bad press, yeah?" while mopping flopsweat from their pathetic foreheads
I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

I remember back in grade 7, a mate of mine made a javascript game where you click on the school bully to punch him.
Problematic? Sure, but hell if it didn't show some crazy initiative

Make an effort to spread some positivity today. Say something nice about a mate. Compliment a shirt. Text a family member and send them some love.
