191. 🎮 #AloneInTheDark original, amb la @biblosfera.bsky.social ❤️
Un clàssic amb raó, ambientació genial (si b molts monstres goofy 😅), història descoberta orgànicament… Però l'acció demana una precisió q els controls no donen (lo de córrer no té nom), sobretot al final.
www.gog.com/en/game/alon...
Portada del joc, mostra una figura humana amb bombí, moltes capes de roba marró i que porta una làmpara de gas a la ma dreta, de peu d'esquena a la càmara mirant una mansió tètrica que cobreix la major part de la imatge des de l'entrada. El terra està cobert d'una boira densa, hi ha un arbre pelat a la dreta i al cel sobre la casa hi ha una mena de núvol verd que forma cares estranyes a l'esquerra i un llamp q cau en un cel fosc a la dreta. A la part superior de la imatge el títol està escrit amb lletres grogues amb una línia vermella a l'interior.

190. 📺 #CastlevaniaNocturne S2, previous tweets all apply.
Cool fanservice, cool they make Anette an active char… But generic monsters, stupid & excessively grimdark writing & cringe juvenile dialog.
Also, way too many vampires 4 a CV story.

Poster of the 2nd season, shows from front to back: * A short brown haired white man in a blue coat with ripped out sleeves, a white bandana and white pants and brown boots he is in a ready for combat position with his left arm in front holding some sort of cross made of 4 ice blades with voltaic arcs between them. * A white girl with very long blond hair flowing behind her, a pink vest and pants, a white blouse below and a green sash on her waist. She's standing pointing at the camera with her right arm and her hand is glowing, while she caresses the muzzle of an enormous blue dragon behind her that covers most of the image. * Finally, behind and above the dragon there's the bust of a long haired man, his skin as white as his hair and golden eyes. Behind him there is a total solar eclipse. The title is written in the lower portion of the poster in white letters. My tweets on the 1st season of the original series, for continuity, they read: "@Netflix's #Castlevania has some nice welcome touches, but it's otherwise as excessive & tone-deaf as expected. 🤷 Also, why only 4 25m eps? Also also, that's mean on poor Grant Danasty, pulling a BvS Jim Olsen on him... :( XD" My tweets on the 2nd season of the original series, they read: "#Castlevania S2 done, same as the 1st one: what they get right they get so right (The Belmont Hold! The references!), it's painful how wrong they get everything else: the juvenile tone & embarrassing dialogue, the awful pacing & specially the forgettable music & 0 monster variety These last two are doubly painful bc it's freaking #Castlevania & bc they do it bloody right in the show, but just once! The Belmont Hold is full of remains of classic monsters & Slogra & Gaibon are there (& 1 Malphas?) But no, it's all generic demons & gargoyles & vampires. #meh" My tweet on the previous season, it reads: "174. #CastlevaniaNocturne was a bit meh. It's interesting & I love the fanservice... but the main characters are too incompetent, the bad guys' plot is poorly written & again everyone's too broody & miserable & too "fucking" edgy & juvenile."

189. 🎲 #ReturnToDarkTower is really amazing, has a lot of variety & replayability & damn, that tower is sophisticated. Dropping the skulls never gets old.
Only 'but' is that well, we just got killed by a couple of random events in sequence, better balancing needed?
cc @biblosfera.bsky.social
Front cover of the game, shows the titular dark tower in front of a circle on a black background. Below and in front of the tower are standing three black cloaked spectral figures in a menacing position, the left one with a scary mask, middle one with a crown and the right one with a spiked helmet that covers its eyes. Below them the title is written in golden letters. Photo of a table with the game being played, there is a central circular board representing four countries, one for each cardinal direction split into several regions and on the center of which stands the titular tower. On top of the board and all around the table there are the many many game elements: character sheets, cards and tokens of different sizes, figurines and tiny plastic human skulls. Close up photo of the tower, showing a panel lit up in red with a sword symbol. The board and the figures in it for characters and places such as towns, shrines out markets can also be seen in more detail. Photo of a tablet showing the title screen of the game's app, which shows the title in the top left corner, the options (continue, new game, settings & quit) in the bottom right. In the background there's an image of a dry rocky landscape in the night with the tower in the center right, emanating some sort of red flame.

188. 📚 #TheHauntingOfHillHouse (o #LaMalediccióDeHillHouse), read together w @biblosfera.bsky.social, was disappointing. Started slow & repetitive, got more interesting when things started happening halfway thru (still repetitive)… & ended w a whimper. Apparent LGTB rep in the 50s is nice, but meh.
The cover of the Catalan edition of the novel, shows an iron bars gate locked with several padlocks abd in serious disrepair drawn over a single yellow stripe. The rest of the cover is white with the gray silhouette of a leafless tree. In the bottom half the Catalan title and the name of the author (Shirley Jackson) can be read.

187. 🎬 #Ghostbusters (also #AnswerTheCall, part of the title? Subtitle?). Better than w the Spanish dub, but still jokes & dialogs sound off, stilted & unnatural. A good idea in principle (if you're gonna remake GB to update it) but falls short.

One of the posters for the movie, shows the five main characters standing around/on top of the Ecto-1 car with the classic GB logo in the background. A snapshot of my previous tweet on the movie, for continuity, it reads: "Oh my, #Ghostbusters (2016) was bad, an all too random stream (pun not intended) of gags, action set pieces & cameos/references."

185. 💬 #よわいものクラブ, one-shot q acaba quan es comença a posar interessant, ai las. Relació yuri supertòxica q et deixa amb ganes de saber on anirà (enlloc bo per això 😅), però no ho sabrem mai I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Pàgina inicial del one-shot, mostres una noia ajupida davant d'un llit individual, en el procés de treure's les mitjes q porta. Té els cabells llargs i clars i va vestida amb un uniforme de marinera d'institut japonès. Darrera seu hi ha penjadors amb altres peces de roba. A la 2a vinyeta una altra noia amb cabells negres curts i el mateix uniforme, asseguda escrivint algo, mira a la noia anterior amb cara de perplexitat preguntant "...Kana chan?". De fons és cert un escriptori amb una cadira (ella està asseguda a un nivell més baix, deu estar asseguda a terra o sobre un coixí) i una finestra.

182. 💬 #銀青のプルースト / #BlueProustianMoment, x un yuri maco q hi ha a la jump... plus (no la principal però és algo) i me l'acaben (cancel·lada?), quedant en plausible deniability/queerbait. Ofès. Tb tenia coses a dir sobre la gentrificació però com Magilumiere es queda en punt mig tebi.
Portada del 1r volum de l'edició original japonesa, mostra una noia de cabells marrons vestida amb un vestit amb tirants blau marí sobre una brusa blanca, en un pla de mig cos mirant fixament a camera mentre el vent li fa volar els cabells enrere. De fons darrere d'ella es poden veure el mar sota un cel clar. A l'esquerra en vertical està escrit el títol amb les blanques i blau marí.

180. 🎲 #Fragmentos, vía su expansión #Panicovisión. Concepto original para una antología de terror, particularmente la partida q jugamos, pero supo a poco, cada historia acababa cuando se ponía interesante y fue muy dirigido todo (aunque esto fue x el máster tb).
cc @biblosfera.bsky.social
Portada del suplemento, muestra a un hombre iluminado en luz roja con la cara demacrada y vestido con chaqueta de cuero sobre una camiseta desgarrada, sonriendo y con los brazos abiertos. Detrás suyo se ve una parrilla de pantallas con imágenes de tópicos de terror. En la parte superior se puede leer el título en letras blancas.

179. 💬 #TheDarkCrystal #CreationMyths are really pretty, supplemental materials are cool, I liked seeing the birth of the Skeksis & urRu… but felt a bit lacking, you don't get to know any character beyond the 1 clearly created for this, Raunip, who didn't fit much for me.
cc @biblosfera.bsky.social
Cover of the 1st volume, shows Aughra on the top half and doom critter & Raunip on the bottom right. There are many musical looking symbols with circles and triangles. Cover of the 2nd volume, shows the face of an urskek framed by yet another magical circle with a triangle within. Cover of the 3rd volume, shows the face of a mystic/urRu on the top half, a white haired gelfling on the bottom left and yet another random critter on the bottom right. Once again magical circles and triangles abound.

176. 📺 #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding, S5… Getting more & more absurd & SOD thoroughly broken by now… & yet! It's still funny & intriguing! & they brought back chars & a bit more focus on the podcast… We'll still watch S6, but the hype is waning.

The poster for the show's 5th season, shows three people on a giant model city with the buildings made of giant, human-sized playing cards. On the left there's Selena Gomez in a golden dress sitting on a lower "building", Steve Martin in a black suit standing in the middle and Martin Short in a khaki coat and brown pants peeking from another "card building" on the right. A snapshot of my tweet on the previous season, 4 continuity, it reads: "217. 📺 #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding S4... oof. Still really funny & clever so I do want to keep watching... but it's going on for too long & getting ridiculous. That season finale hurt, they had the opportunity to do sth different & didn't." Additionally, the previous tweet is quoted & can be read partially: "6. 📺 #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding S3 now dubbed with the kids. Same opinion overall: Still great, both @biblosfera & me wanna see that full musical. Still a pity the podcast has become such an aftert..."

174. 🎲 #Espinas no me convenció. Cierto q estaba cansado y lleno🫃🏻, pero me pareció contradictorio/contraproducente: quiere ser 1 juego narrativo pero la narración no tiene mucho sentido, y cuanto + se narra + cuesta recordar luego, q es el objetivo.
cc @biblosfera.bsky.social, @vanthulla.bsky.social
Portada del juego, muestra una foto de un edificio grande de 4 plantas y una torre central, con unos árboles pelados delante. Los colores están alterados para que la imagen resulte inquietante, el edificio se ve amarillo y el cielo oscuro con tonos marrones rojizos. En la parte superior escritos en letras blancas están el título y los nombres de los autores (José Lomo y Cecilia Jos) y en la parte inferior el texto "UNA EXPERIENCIA NARRATIVA UNA REGRESIÓN AL TERROR" Foto que muestra el tablero de juego en la 1a mitad (modo fácil), con dos pilas de cartas en el centro y varios pares de cartas, una de cada pila, distribuidas alrededor en forma de reloj (+ o -). Uno de estos espacios alrededor aún no ha sido rellenado con cartas. 4 pilas adicionales de cartas están distribuidas en las cuatro esquinas del tablero. Adicionalmente, cada jugador tiene delante suyo una carta con su personaje. Foto que muestra el tablero de juego en la 2a mitad (modo fácil), con dos pilas diferentes de cartas en el centro y varios pares de cartas, una de cada pila, distribuidas alrededor en forma de reloj (+ o -), algunas de ellas giradas cara arriba con un tick de resueltas, otras aún no. Uno de estos espacios alrededor aún no ha sido rellenado con cartas. 2 de las pilas de las esquinas han sido trasladadas al centro.

173. 💬 #アストロベイビー (AKA #AstroBaby) comença una mica 😬 x l'actitud del prota però es torna molt interessant, divertit i força original x una història de zombis amb un bebé q dóna poders. 😅 La resolució és una mica rara (i precipitada? not sure if cancel… 🤔), però el final és maco.
Portada del 1r volum en l'edició original japonesa, mostra a un noi amb ulls vermells, una tireta al nas i vestit amb uniforme militar blau amb un barret gros i molt molsut (sembla un barret típic rus) amb cara d'enfadat apuntant una pistola amb la mà dreta a un grup de mans en 1r pla q intenten agafar-lo, mentre amb la mà esquerra aguanta un sonall. Porta penjat d'un mocador agafat al cos un bebé que està bevent un biberó mentre mira seriós les mans q els ataquen. Darrera seu es veu un edifici protegit per una reixa. Edifici, cel i mans atacants estan tots pintats de color vermell. Finalment, sota del protagonista i davant les mans el títol està escrit en 1r pla en lletres blanques gruixudes.

172. 🎬 #Fréwaka was fine, liked it better on a rewatch. A neat folk horror celebrating Irish culture & Gaelic language (totally lost in translation when dubbing it to Spanish, as we were watching w the kids), but gets tiresome.

m.imdb.com/title/tt2782...
One of the posters of the movie, shows a drawing of a red-haired goat with very long horns in profile to the left, but with its head turned to look at the camera. All around the poster there are many charms of menu shadows and colors. Below the goat, the title is written in red thin letters. Snapshot of my precious tweet on the movie, for continuity, it reads: "It was really cool that #Frewaka was shot in Irish Gaelic & celebrated Irish culture... But beyond that it was a pretty std folk horror fare that as usual starts intriguing enough but ends up going on for too long. Pseh. #Sitges2024"

#슬픈열대 / #TristesTropiques és una peli d'acció xula i espectacular, si bé la història és una mica de millor no pensar-hi gaire. Excés de melodrama al final, preferia la peli anterior, The Childe, q area vull tornar a veure x la referència. #Sitges2025

Un pòster de la película que mostra un pla general boirós i grisós d'una jungla, amb un cos d'aigua al centre rodejat per muntanyes. A dalt de tot el títol està escrit en lletres negres en francès i a sota més petit en coreà. Captura del tuit de la peli anterior per continuïtat, que diu: "Gran començament de #Sitges2023 amb #귀공자 (#TheChilde), genial thriller comèdic amb un conflicte a 4 bandes q juga molt b amb les expectatives. Només m'ha fallat q un personatge guai se'l treuen de sobre massa ràpid i algun editing d'acció marejant."

129. 🎮 #LinksCrossbowTraining was a bare bones curio, to be expected for a pack-in freebie. I just wanted to try out the Wii Zapper… & indeed it made the wiimote more comfortable & stable & therefore precise.
Still sucked at the game tho, just reaching the minimum points 2 unlock new levels is Hard.
The European cover for the game (specifically the Italian version from a small disclaimer at the bottom, but they all look the same). It shows Twilight Princess Link on the right half of the image in a dynamic pose, as if he's running (perhaps even drifting 😅) while holding a funky-looking crossbow that is basically an over-ornate version of the Wii Zapper with a crossbow's... well, bow, at the front. He's drawn in front of a wooden background with some patterns on it. On the left the title can be read, "Link's" written in red "crossbow training' in gold with the 2nd O replaced by a 🎯).

Next, #TheRedCost!

Cover of the original 1st volume. It shows mostly two figures: a gesturing man whose eyes are covered by a gray cloak and what's seen of his face shows he has clearer gray skin. He's wearing green clothes & brown gloves & his left hand is emitting a trail of clear green light. And in front of him, on the bottom half of the image, a small white girl with long brown hair flowing behind her, wearing a short sleeved, high collared blue shirt over a long sleeved red one and clear brown pants. She's posed running into the image but she's looking back at the camera doing a shushing gesture, and, most prominently, a brown lion-like tail is growing out of her behind, jutting out of a hole in her pants and flowing freely. They are on a featureless yellow background and the man's green light mixes with a short of red half-transparent eels floating around then on the corners of the image. At the top the title can be read in white letters, along with the subtitle: "VOLUME 1: The Zombie and The Brat"

111. 🎲 #JokingHazard is a neat "build your own comic strip" game. A "Cards Against Humanity" clone, but better, as funny combinations came up more often & it had less problematic options (still plenty of those, tho).
cc @biblosfera.bsky.social, @filantrol.bsky.social.
@laqsemprecau.bsky.social
A photo of the game's box, the cover shows 2 crudely drawn human figures, both bald and big-headed with a uniform single-coloe torso and just black lines for arms and legs. The one on the left, dressed in clear blue, is pointing with both arms at the one on the right, dressed in green, who is angrily shouting with his fists up. In the middle of the image, between both of them, there's the title, with "Joking" written in the same blue color as the man on the left, & "Hazard" in the same green as the man on the right. Below it a text reads "an offensive card game from cyanide & happiness", these last 3 words written in red. A table with the game being played, it shows a couple of cards starting a comic strip then 4 cards each with a possible punch line. To the right there is a stack of upside down cards, and to the left another stack of faceup cards.

Al centre de la imatge hi ha una porta rodona q dóna a una altra habitació de color blau cel. Al voltant de la porta hi ha 4 persones: una d'elles, una dona de pell blanca i cabells ondulats llargs vestida amb armilla, samarreta blanca i pantalons llargs foscos està entrant corrent a l'habitació amb les "flames" en 1r pla al centre de la imatge. A la seva esquerra, a l'altra habitació, hi ha un home negre amb cabells molt rapats i sense camisa aguantant a una noia de pell fosca, cabells negres curts i amb el braç dret robòtic, vestida amb un vestit lila i una capa verda per sobre, q está cridant i intentant aturar la noia q corre tot estirant el braç pero sense arribar a entrar ella a la nova habitació. A l'altra banda de la noia central hi ha un home blanc amb una mena de mono futurista blau de peu mirant la noia central però sense fer cap gest particular. Finalment, dins la nova habitació, a la dreta de la imatge, amagant-se de manera q pugui espiar als que estan a l'altra habitació sense que el vegin, hi ha un home blanc amb cabells pèl-rojos en un bowl cut, ulleres i un mono verd en el q hi posa "NERD" escrit al pit. A sobre de la porta hi ha el títol escrit en lletres vermelles i el text "RUN, SURVIVE, ESCAPE" en lletres blanques sobre un fons verd lluminós.

In front of the chef a well dressed short haired young man and a red headed young woman in a leather jacket are sitting at a table. She's facing the camera looking kind of bored while he is staying food from her plate. At the top the title is written in white letters. A snapshot of my previous tweet on the film, for continuity, it reads: "232. 🎬 We close this weekend's (unintended) Ralph Fiennes marathon with #TheMenu, which was a bit overhyped to me I fear. It's good satire, it just stretches SoD a bit & again "criticism of capitalism from Hollywood". Gotta admit I'm a bit of a Tyler tho."
