Species 5618.

Sci-fi nerd, video game enthusiast, other general geekery.
Despite it being huge when I was growing up, and me being a massive sci-fi nerd, I never properly sat down and watched The X Files.

I think it's time that changed, don't you?

Return to Shitelent Hill more like.

It's absolutely mad to me that the Dead Space remake didn't do better than it did. That game is still the peak of sci-fi horror.

It's a shame, because a Dead Space 2 remake would have been awesome.

Playing classic Halo multiplayer on Steam Deck is actually a game changer.

Back to work tomorrow after two and a half weeks.

Feels like I've both been off forever, and had no time off at all.

Needless to say, I am not ready.

Idea for New Years Eve TV.

There should be channels showing films that have the major event timed to happen as the clock hits midnight.

The Death Star blowing up in Star Wars.
The Snap in Infinity War
"So it begins" in The Two Towers.

You get the idea.

That would be great.

Never mind New Year, who wants some Easter Eggs?

Finally took the plunge and deactivated my Twitter account this afternoon.

Haven't used it in over a year, and I don't miss it, so there was no need for it to exist any more.

All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
Wake me up if Half-Life 3 gets announced overnight, please.

Well, that's my Christmas project sorted then.

Wait, there's a retro style Starship Troopers FPS gaming coming out from the same people who made Warhammer 40K: Boltgun?

I would indeed like to know more.

Damn, only top 27% of all @tcgs.co listeners this year. Those feel like rookie numbers to me.

Time to try to crack thr top 20% next year then.

Cheers for the pods, lads.

Me after spending an hour this morning trying and failing to get tickets to the Expedition 33 concert:

Kids, turns out it was not too much, even for me.
£350 for a Lego Enterprise-D?

I think that might be too much even for me.

I'm definitely not staying up past my usual bedtime waiting for a Lego spaceship to go on sale so that I can try to get one before it sells out.

Nope, definitely not.

(Help, I'm very tired...)

Of all the surprise announcements I was (half) expecting today, a brand new Stargate show in the SG-1 continuity from the original creators was definitely not it.

But I'll absolutely take it.
