Aye, just gorgeous. I've been enjoying pouring through Zandalar, it tickles my Warcraft 2 bones. A lot of love put in on that one.

That frame of the pally holding up the Hammer of the Grand Crusader makes me want to march into battle.

I have this visceral recurring memory/feeling of being in Virgin Megastore down the town after it got its sort of factory/industrial makeover (metal stairs down to the vinyls/exposed vents on the roof) looking at Command and Conquer on PS1.

After seeing clips of Marathon I have decided I’m going to be instantly excellent at it. I can already feel that Bungie FPS control. It’s going to be like Ricky The Dragon Steamboat coming out of retirement in 2009 and not losing a step.

I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me / In these last few days, I've been afraid that I might drift away

Can’t believe I’m gonna watch the Seahawks win the superbowl then go home absolutely full of crisps and play Overwatch with 5 billion people. What a weekend.

Nothing more passively judgemental than the number of chopsticks you get thrown in the bag with your order.

Love this. I love sewers because almost no one knows what they really look like so we just make up shit. Look at this moving platform, what is this?!

DCs Absolute series continues to be outstanding. The panels in Martian Manhunter are gorgeous.
