I got an email yesterday to say they’re cancelling the Kickstarter and starting over on Gamefound. Obviously I prefer Gamefound but changing like that during a campaign doesn’t look great.

Also… Horrorvision is not a patch on Terrorvision.

Suffered through the Clerks trilogy this week. I was 16 when I saw the first one in the Screen cinema and I remember being amazed that people of my generation were making movies for my generation… 30 years later and I really wish that would stop now.

I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.

I went to one of the bars from that movie when I was in LA. The Dresden Lounge, really cool spot.

Quite a mix. Cyber Jack was a very silly sci-fi Die Hard knock off starring Michael Dudikoff with Brian James chewing the scenery as the bad guy who wants to infect itself with a computer virus. #LetterBoxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Can’t believe they fixed that they fixed this thing that was mildly annoying.

When they put these traffic lights in at the end of my road the bicycle and pedestrian crossing lights were put in the wrong places. Well this week they swapped them.

One of the best games every made. Top 5 for me.

Every couple of months someone on reddit asks some variation of "What's the most violent thing that happened in a children's show" and someone near the top posts this gif from Infinity Train and you wouldn't believe the amount of joy it brings me.

The baby has my glasses super loose on my head from grabbing them so I’ve come close to this one a few times…

If you’re doing the next Apes movie try and avoid the theatrical cut. Audiences reacted badly to the ending so it was really poorly recut and ADRed.

The original ending continues the series mainstay of bleak endings and is really good.

a resurfaced twitter screenshot from 2020 where elon musk replies to me 'to the best our knowledge, he never toured SpaceX. Don't know where that comes from'. another user has superimposed this reply on a screenshot of a 2013 email from Jeffrey Epstein to Elon that says 'thanks for the tour, you would have had fun at xmas'

ok wow. in 2020, as a former tech journalist, i had a large twitter account, so i asked elon musk to comment on why he had been photographed with ghislaine maxwell and whether the rumors jeffrey epstein had toured space x were true

Played two boardgames today at @boardgamesireland.com

“There and Back Again” a cool roll and write.

And

“Anomaly” a great hidden movement game.

That trailer that came out by mistake without the music or sound effects… Tom Cruises screams still haunt me.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.
