I rewatched Deadly Games (1995), the story of a man going through a divorce who creates a video game where all the bad guys are linked to his personal traumas. An experiment gone awry brings these villains into the real world, led by Christopher Lloyd as The Jackal.

I took a look at a new indie game from @casting-whispers.bsky.social that has a strong atmosphere and a neat mechanic, but trips a bit on its path to greatness. - 8bitdigi.com/review-casti...
Review | Casting Whispers (PC) - 8Bit/Digi
Casting Whispers is a simple and elegant psychological horror game that manages to surprise me a couple of times.

The One Where a Wilds Watches all of Friends
Well, I watched all ten seasons of Friends. I didn’t watch the show much when it first aired. I caught a couple of episodes at random, with most of my interest stemming from a crush on Courteney Co…

I took a look at a cool horror game that stumbles slightly over its own creativity. Casting Whispers is a great foundation for what could be, if we just close our eyes. - 8bitdigi.com/review-casti...

Hey there!

This is a video I made (trying to get to 1k subscribers :D) about GoldenEye 007. It's 35 minutes long and about how fun beating the game was on 00 Agent with no auto-aim.

Appreciate again all the likes/retweets/subscribers, etc.

For recent movies, I started with a strange one, no surprise since it stars Nick Cage. The Surfer (2024) is an odd psychological and psychedelic story about a broken man who returns to his hometown wanting to surf with his son, but the beach has bullies. It didn't go as expected.

I'm finally starting to come around on these Final Fantasy IX characters.

I know I've been watching too many Horror anthology shows lately when I realize the Twilight Zone (1985) story "The Curious Case of Edgar Witherspoon" and the "Patterns/Voices" episode of Night Visions share the same narrative, with some minor details changed.

Well, it's interesting to me.

@dylancharles.bsky.social Thanks for reading my e-mail on the podcast. I loved the answers you guys gave, but I question where you think I'm from to give me that accent, even if it was quality voice work.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
