I have officially reached maturity in hobbit years

We need to fast track teleporter technology because waking up at 5AM to catch a flight is hell

I could throw that quote on the cover!

And a quick reminder this is coming OCTOBER of THIS YEAR

Grim Portents cover featuring a skeleton hand holding a feather and emerging from an open book. The title is on a burning banner that envelops the feather and a large beast looms over it all. At the top, the tagline reads: Welcome to the first day of the end of your life… #writingcommunity

"I always told myself it wasn't real. It was a figment of my imagination, the mind playing tricks. It was just a shadow. But now the monster had been given a name, an identity. It was real." BILL BAKER WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO MARRY THE WOMAN HE LOVES, BUT WHEN HIS WEDDING IS INTERRUPTED BY A RAMPAGING HELL-BEAST, HIS LIFE IS THROWN INTO DISARRAY. DESPERATE FOR A SECOND CHANCE, HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO SET HIS FUTURE BACK ON TRACK. NOW, WITH THE HELP OF A SOUL-COLLECTING REAPER NAMED SONNY, HE MUST UNCOVER WHO IS RELEASING MONSTERS FROM HELL, IN ORDER TO EARN BACK THE LIFE THAT WAS STOLEN FROM HIM AND PREVENT THE ONCOMING END OF DAYS. FACED WITH THE CHOICE BETWEEN WHAT IS RIGHT, AND WHAT IS EASY, BILL MAY HAVE TO SACRIFICE ALL HE HOLDS DEAR FOR ONE LAST SHOT AT LIFE.

Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan.

Well that’s a cheery thought

Got it all hooked up, works like a dream. The Sega Genesis looks immaculate

Retro gaming my friend

Sony Trinitron 20” color crt tv eBay listing for 369 dollars

This is the model I got for the cheapest I could find on eBay! About as worthless as solid gold haha

Found a CRT 20” tv from 1993 for FIVE dollars, losing my mind

Just two idiots on a road trip while the world ends

WE DID IT. 100% OF DONKEY KONG BANANZA COMPLETE

I decided to play one (1) game on my backlog and now I’m like 30 games deep. I’ve played 12 Sonic the hedgehog games in 1 month. I don’t even LIKE Sonic the hedgehog

I have not forgot, I have simply delved too deeply into my other special interests and cannot claw my way out

Godspeed, definitely recommend soulsilver/heartgold if you like this at all. It’s the pinnacle of the series, then jump back to emerald, it’s way better than the remake

Oh forgot to mention that I unironically loved Shadow the Hedgehog (one of the only so bad it’s good games I’ve ever played) and abhorred Sonic 06 if only because it’s nearly unplayable

I played one of the storybook games and absolutely despised it so I will not be playing the second one. Just started Sonic Unleashed and boy oh boy is it a slog. People weren’t kidding when they said that these games just got worse and worse for a while huh?

Finally rolled credits on DK Bananza, after collecting every banana and fossil along the way, only to discover that there’s a huge postgame! I love the game but good God I have so many bananas already!

Snagged my beloved Demolition Man on VHS and lost three games of darts to my wife so pretty good day all around

Probably best to assume he can rather than test it out

In the Mouth of Madness, vampires kiss, and Howard the Duck easily

Clearly I’m skipping a lot of titles as there are a million games and I really wanted the mainline entries. And yes, I know Spinball is not a mainline game, but I fully believe that Sonic works best as a pinball simulator. It’s his natural state and honestly a pretty great game, so it’s included

Ranking of 9 Sonic games: 1. Sonic 2 2. Sonic CD 3. Sonic 3 4. Sonic Adventure 2 5. Sonic and Knuckles 6. Sonic Spinball 7. Sonic Adventure 8. Sonic the hedgehog (original) 9. Sonic Heroes

Gamer Sumer check in: obviously I’m fully immersed in DK Bonanza, but I’ve also been playing the Sonic games off and on for the first time ever. That’s right, I’ve never played a Sonic through to the end until this summer. Wanted to post a ranking of these 9 games before I reach the… dark era

In-box manuals! Part of the reason I got so into Halo was reading about the different alien races and cultures in the Halo 2 booklet

Every time I post one of these, I post from my upcoming novel #GrimPortents. So! I thought today, since the word is MOON, I’d post an entire page from my other WIP, #Lunarmancer, which I have never shared an excerpt from!

They want what Cool Spot has so bad

“You’ve inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature?”

Sega Genesis cartridge for Cool Spot, the 7Up branded retro game platformer from 1993. #retrogaming

Folks, we have never been more back

You know what, my bad, let me go check again
