The Odyssey in IMAX day. Dave Scarborough has booked the fourth row, so I live in fear of this:
Researching E3 1997 for the next episode of the podcast. It's only been downhill for the games industry since this poster:
Catching up on Destiny. They've had some wild highs and lows over the years, but I did chuckle at the comically naff Darth Vader skin that came with the Star Wars DLC. Sort of represents a nadir for both brands at once.
"Up you get, Big Sammy," I whisper to myself while looking like this today:
Ulf is the worst House of the Dragon character. The actor overcooks every scene by 25%. Cheering on whichever blonde motherfucker takes him out.
Me doing The Back Page 25th anniversary tour in 2045: "And I recorded all 2000 episodes by myself."
Precariously sticking a hardcover book under my fan to have it pointed at the exact right angle while I lay on the sofa like this:
The pairing of Frank Miller and Peach Momoko seems like it shouldn't work, but now I think she should go back and paint over his entire body of work.
Can't wait to log reviews of every Simpsons episode from seasons 3-10 and watch that follower count bomb.
I've never seen this film before but the amount of Real Trains shots makes it 9 million times more impressive than Galactus or your cosmic CGI dogshit of choice. Also: Kevin Corrigan.
Watching Captain America: Civil War. Always forget there's a serious dramatic bit where they've strapped Bucky into a baby's car seat:
What have they done to you, Sixty Million Postcards, my awful Bournemouth son?
Massive day for me. Huge! I'm eating this cake in roughly five hours:
Chuffed for Norris that he made the key art for both this and the Corrie 2p machine:
You really didn't need to add this feature, Spotify, I already know what a fucking weirdo I am.
I've played a lot of GTA over the past two years, and I promise you one thing: there will be a mission set on that boat in the bottom left-hand corner.
