I must be getting old. I haven’t purchased Symphony of the Night for a new platform or console for like 3+ years.

Force draft Baron immediately.

Gonna tell my kids this was anime.

YouTube video by Old School Fighter Karate tournament from the 90s

Cleansing your timeline with a compilation of full contact Karate from the 90s complete with a buildup to Swiss kyokushin legend Andy Hug who walks on like the final boss.

If I’m gonna have red hot searing soul death ricocheting around my brain pain I want the existential wounds to at least be self-inflicted. ✌️

Noticing YouTube nudging my recs into garbage territory (video games, music, and fitness all algorithmic radicalization minefields) so I’m weaning myself off in favor of more audiobooks while I do chores, dishes, walk the dog etc Gotta protect that sliver of mental health.

Next up:

The Earthbound cartridge plus full-sized walkthrough it originally came packaged with are like royal regalia tier physical media.

*bequeathing the five holy relics to my children:
“You must choose. But choose wisely! Will you wield:

-The German Edition (cencorced)
-The Dutch Edition (unconcerned)
-The Japanese Edition
-The Japanese Special Edition
-The U.S. Edition (uncensored but they changed Rikimaru’s run animation.)

When the tech bro feudalist fever dream of AI ushering in an era where all personal ownership is subsumed by digital subscription models for all media and services, inevitably crashes and burns 95% of all money on earth I’m gonna be sitting pretty with my five physical copies of Tenchu 3 on PS2.

Society would be infinitely improved if we gave adults the same freedom as children to randomly arrive at work, school, and social functions dressed in a full on Halloween costume a few times a month and no one bats an eye.

Unbelievable film to have been made on so many levels.

Running out the clock on 2025 with Children of Men.

*hurling my drunk ass at the screen when that ratfuk Petrus of Thorolund shows his face

The cover of PARTISAN by Garth Ennis and Steve Epting, with colors by Jodie Bellaire, from TKO Studios. Above the title is a blonde Russian woman with a rifle, and below, an ominous B&W image of Nazis on the move with tanks and dogs.

Got my hands on this and cannot wait to read it. Apparently it was released with absolutely no fanfare, which is a crime, since I've heard that Garth allegedly says it's the best thing he's ever written, and you can see right on the cover that BKV says it's one of the best graphic novels ever…

Spending most of my daily allotment of “communicates with tempered rage” points on not filling my Senate Rep’s voicemail with expletives so just heads up anyone who has a work call with me today.

I have lost the key to cabinet I keep my Steamdeck in so I am 3 days into extreme Silksong withdrawal, meaning I’m much chiller, thumbs aren’t cramping in agony, and I’m using on average 85% less profanity.

Put a gun to my head and I couldn’t give you a compelling Batman pitch I’d want to write BUT can I interest you in a miniseries about one of his lesser-known villain’s called “Bookworm” whose superpower is he’s a nerd, who finds the Necronomicon in a vault beneath Gotham City?

My kid demanded a “Spooky Puppet Show” for bedtime so I’m sending Grover and Elmo into the House of Leaves. Your wish is my command, little man!

Read the original pitch of this project a ways back and every single page made say “woah” out loud. Absolute banger.

*moments after you’ve ask the hypnotist to help you stop thinking about making comics ever second of every day.

Evening stroll in the park. Guy on an electric unicycle and a helmet done up in Christmas lights zooms past a group of people huddled around a digital campfire. Someone turned the William Gibson Dial up to 11 I see.

My serious pitch for a big budget Warhammer 40K movie isn’t to try and do it “in universe” but as a high stakes political thriller set it in a near-future where ALL global conflict is resolved by nations fielding 20,000 point miniature armies and having it out.

It’s the best, my personal “summer of 69” nostalgia game (I was bedridden with pneumonia for weeks and weeks right when it dropped.)

Apply for a chance to hear me go on and on about BERSERK (and also make comics with us and stuff!)

Oh great. Now I gotta replay this again for the second time this year…

Gonna pitch a Silksong licensed comics where you start reading and it’s great and then slowly the pages get progressively harder and harder to turn and you’re struggling and then a guy in a paper mache big costume just shows up and tries to keep you from reading it.

I’ve already beaten all the Silksong bosses that are getting nerfed via patch. I’ll continue to sit at the big boy table at the Real Gamers Bar.

Heading to the airport to fly to a comic con and I’m very excited for 10 uninterrupted hours in the sky to get some work done. 👌

This is so videogame-y I demand that someone find a bigger shotgun soon. Then a chain gun. Then a rocket launcher. Cyborg guy skipped ahead and got the energy weapon early in a secret area.
