Right?!?! It’s insane. I love how the Clare sections (if you play in FP) really let you appreciate the detail in the environments.

Multiple friends have told me. But honestly just looking at the Iron Throne gives me indigestion. I’ll get to it eventually.

I have never gone from 60 to 0 with a franchise faster than GoT after that disastrous final season. Gave up on the books. Skipped HotD. But I gave this a shot and I’m SO GLAD I did. Wholesome and gruesome and very Westeros. The IP at its BEST IMO.

A new EZA Review script? From Huber? For Resident Evil? Don’t mind if I do… πŸŽ™οΈπŸ§Ÿ

I thought that RE9 and GTA6 were going to be the only two AAA games I really commit time to this year but … man, I obviously have to play this too.

Empathy Truly feeling what it’s like to be someone else.

Last week I wrote a post about empathy, and this week you can read it for free. And you should, because you care about me, RIGHT?! horriblethings.substack.com/p/empathy

My second most anticipated game of 2026. I don’t spend a lot on games these days, but no way, no how, will I ever miss a new Resident Evil.

Friends, my roof let Winter leak into my house & wreck my PC. After 11 days, it's back from the shop but not fully repaired. If you work for or with a PC company, I'm looking for a PC sponsor. Allow me to continue doing my work for the disability community & I'll sing your praises!

My favorite thing about Robert Duvall is he would show up in predictably subpar movies, but refused to deliver a lazy performance. He was just incapable of being bad. My favorite great role of his in an otherwise mid movie? Gone in 60 Seconds. β€œYou break it, you buy it, pal!” RIP, legend.

Pain The invisible enemy.

I reached out to some friends who I knew suffered from chronic pain for last week's Substack chapter and learned that, holy cow, I know a lot of people that are suffering from chronic pain. horriblethings.substack.com/p/pain

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

The least Disney could do is give us a website we could go to and vote for more Muppet Show episodes. Like, where’s the petition I have to sign? What or who do I need to sacrifice to make this happen?

If your review average is a 7 because everybody gave you a 7, that's one thing. If your average is a 7 because it's half 10s and half 4s, that is how you know it's The Good Stuff

I vividly remember meeting you, because I forced myself to do it. I was like β€œJust do it. Don’t think about it.”

My last review at GameTrailers. It’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

Huge fan of when AI ads generate a fake person to enthusiastically sell me their product. Bonus points if they’re on a talk show that doesn’t exist, or a Ted Talk that never happened. Nothing says β€œyou’ll love this” like when you can’t find or pay a real person to convince me to spend money.

I’m still wrapping my head around how they made the Muppets ride bikes 40 years ago.

No pressure, right? You’re just carrying a man’s soul around on your arm. No big deal.

Blue screen, I imagine? With the hand hole in the back instead of below? Good question.

It’s interesting because Vogel also did Kermit for Haunted Mansion and that performance was ROUGH, IMO. So he’s been clearly sharpening the role, which I appreciate. And he’s a good singer!

Seeing a lot of justified criticism of Matt Vogel’s attempt at Jim’s (strangely irreplaceable?) Kermit voice. While I agree it’s weird (he’s mostly ignoring the high tones when Kermit gets excited), his actual puppeteering is great! Lots of energy and nuance in his facial movement. Kudos, sir!
