Irish YouTuber (and care worker) who enjoys covering obscure horror games for my channel.
Japanese Special Edition of Gravity Rush 2. Includes the little anime film Sony created for the game.
We're definitely ready for an all digital future. Sony have almost certainly thought this through. Physical media serves no purpose and is only holding us back. #playstationstoredown #PS5
Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell today for 20 minutes. (Sure this one has already been done)
Just went to see Obsession and it was brilliant. Not the scariest film ever, but easily one of the most disturbing, uncomfortable pieces of media I've ever watched. When the fuck did horror films get so good again? Longlegs, The Substance, Possessor, Hokum, Oddity. So glad to see the genre thriving.
God of War Laufey looks cool, but I'll never understand people who defend the atrocious pacing of cutscenes in most AAA games these days. The walkie talkie bullshit dragged on for an eternity in the trailer. Imagine you were watching a movie with similarly paced conversations. You'd fall asleep.
They're not even remotely the same thing. Subnautica 2 is half the price for a start. Not to mention Subnautica already being an established IP with a massive player base. This is the first modern Bond game in nearly two decades and is single player only. It's sales are fantastic.
Bit late to the party, but I'm genuinely enjoying Pragmata. Combat is an innovative spin on the somewhat tired 3rd person shooter formula. Story is interesting, and while I initially hated Diana, her and Hughs relationship is so fucking cute and the writing so witty, that she eventually won me over.
Knew I made the right decision backing Mina the Hollower on kickstarter years ago. Can't fucking wait.
Mouse P.I. reignited my love for noir films, so spent a lot of the month rewatching some of the classics. Also played the SHOCKINGLY good Chicken Police. That game is the definition of a hidden gem. Also watched Porco Rosso because I heard the animation was beautiful...the animation was beautiful.👍
Well, that settles it. If the Demon Tides developers can't even make a great Bubsy game, it's simply never going to happen. Time to put the old kitty down. He's suffered enough. 😢 #Bubsy4D
To be fair, the Polish kinda have a thing with mice and stories about fascism so I wasn't all that surprised. At least Mouse P.I gives us the opportunity to blow away the bastards, so it has that over the book.
DMC Season 2 was a big improvement over the first in my opinion. I know you can't please everyone, but I thought the fight scenes were fantastic and the music choices were perfect. They also took everyone's least favourite game in the series, DMC 2, and somehow made a competent story out of it. 8/10
Unpopular opinion, but I'm a huge DMC fan who actually enjoyed season 1 of the DMC Netflix series, despite It's issues and lack of connection to the games. And I'm even more hyped for season 2. I don't want a 1 to 1 retelling of the games because we've already experienced them. #DMC
I've played some incredible indie survival horror games in the last year, but Ground Zero might be the best. An incredible accomplishment. Pays homage to the greats while still carving out It's own identity. Also has a ridiculous amount of replay value, especially considering it's budget price.
Capcom, Nintendo EPD, Sega, and FromSoftware have been nigh on untouchable for the last decade. The era of Japanese dominance in the AAA space is well and truly back. #pragmata
I had VERY low expectations going into this given It's critical reception, but holy shit, "As Above, So Below" is a really good horror film and is secretly the greatest Tomb Raider film ever made. Seriously, if you are in anyway a Tomb Raider fan, watch this movie. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Haven't heard anything about Legacy of Kain Ascendance since It's reveal over a month ago. It's also releasing in less than a week. I'm sure these are good signs.
May I recommend this book as someone who also used to be depressed as ass nearly every day? It didn't magically make my issues disappear overnight, but it definitely changed my relationship with my thinking. Also, don't worry. I was not paid to say this as the author is dead. 👍
Would just like to wish Grandma's Boy a happy 20th anniversary. What the fuck is Grandma's Boy? Not a clue, but since everyone else is talking about it for some reason, I felt it imperative that I do the same.
Has anyone listened to this album? "No, it's not really my genre" Fuck off. I'll ask again. Has anyone genuinely listened to this album from start to finish? "No, but I really like the song imag.." Did I ask what song you like, cunt? How many people have listened to this life-changing masterpiece?
Remember when everyone seemingly lost their goddamn minds over Gemini generating black versions of historical figures? Kinda fucking disturbing to not see an increased, or even similar level of outrage at being able to generate child pornography in a few seconds.
What was that about Trans people being a massive threat to children? 🤔
Finally decided to finish Elden Ring over the holidays. Quick notes. + Fantastic open world that encourages exploration by not marking where everything is. + Legacy Dungeons were incredibly well designed. - An absolutely diabolical amount of Reused Bosses. - Its length can become exhausting.
I've never wanted more to leave a year behind me. Fucking Christ. Anyways, my New Year's resolution is to finally finish Elden Ring after 3 years. Flying through it this time and I even defeated Radahn on my 5th attempt, which doesn't seem right considering the horror stories I've heard about him.
Back in the 90's, The Addams Family were considered 'weird', but I don't know...they seem the picture of fucking normalcy in 2025. They love each other, are friendly and courteous, have a wonderful sense of humour, and find the idea of killing people amusing. I think we all secretly want to be them.
One of the best Christmas films I've seen in a long time. Very wholesome and feel-good. Could have done without the scene of the dude flipping through the porno mag as I was watching the film with my mother, but aside from that, top marks. 👍
My Christmas film list is usually pretty fucked up. To the point where mom won't let me pick any films this year. 😕 That being said, make sure to check out some of these. They're a lot of fun.
Aw, wish I had got that one. Instead, I got the 'Kindr Queer Men's Recovery Group'.
