  • Happy 27th anniversary to Goldeneye 007! Still a classic that's worth replaying, all these years later.
  • Happy 15th anniversary to Batman Arkham Asylum! Still a classic that's worth replaying, all these years later.

  • Back to the Future the Game for PS4 by Telltale Games. The REAL BTTF Part 4. Highly recommended. Let's be thankful that (apart from MJF's current health) that BTTF wasn't overdone. Also, Gamescom is this week, expect some surprise announcements!
  • With Gamescom happening this week, it could be possible that this game will be mentioned.

  • I'm getting a little scared at how many people are returning in my life in the last month. Some people I haven't talked to in years. Yet, since I lost my (main) job a month ago, so many people have been popping in and out, it seems. I wonder what th…

  • It’s nice to see some more TROS fans. I agree that it does have a real Star Wars feel to it. I also agree that it is creatively lazy. The visuals and music are great, but it’s story and pacing are a mixed bag. I think Darth Jar Jar would have worked…
  • Here's my take (again): M: Cillian Murphy Q: Phoebe Waller-Bridge Moneypenny: Anya Taylor-Joy
  • James Bond will return. That has never been a lie, in film, novel and videogame Bond media. Let's keep patience, we are lucky to have so much Bond media readily available to us. As I said before, we are one of the luckiest fandoms in the world.
  • I think if EON had full control over the box set, they'd add OHMSS before NASA.
