    What are you playing right now?

    I moved on to Super Mario RPG remake on the Switch and am absolutely loving it. Not the most difficult RPG I've ever played, but that just means it feels balanced without having to grind. I have the first 4 or 5 stars already, and just really enjoy exploring and what not. I understand the Paper...

    Sony PS5 buyers and owners

    I'll hold off on upgrading the PS5 to the Pro since I'm barely playing it so I can wait until PS6 or whatever is actually next. Will most likely instead pre-order the Switch 2 when it's announced.

    What are you playing right now?

    This sounds cool. I'll check it out when it hits a sale, not that it's crazy expensive.

    What are you playing right now?

    Yeah the first dark side of the moon battles kind of turned me off haha. When the extra content is basically the same things you've already done a bunch of times, only even harder and with no narrative, I lose interest since it starts to feel like homework. I may go back to it, but I'm now...

    What are you playing right now?

    I "finished" Super Mario Oddysey, which means I finished the main story, then went back and did a little post game fiddling. I understand there's a ton more to do to collect all the moons. Problem is once I finish the story stuff I lose interest. I got other games to play, so I'm moving on...

    What are you playing right now?

    Knowing the way I play, I will 100% not 100% it haha. I've already ran into a timed gimmick I'm struggling with due to being not great at 3D platforming :P

    What are you playing right now?

    Over the holidays I finished LEGEND OF ZELDA A LINK TO THE PAST on the Switch Online SNES and it was fun. Glad to finally play it. I prefer turn based RPG compared to action, but this was still fun and I can see why it's so beloved. I'll play more of these old school zelda's On the sale front...

    Concert Blu-rays (rock and pop) you recommend

    The Willie Nelson at 90 concert bluray is pretty great. It's not the full show with full performances, but I believe everyone featured gets a song. The songs are all great, so even if I wasn't a big fan of them prior to this, I still enjoyed the performances. Shout out to Beck who should flat...

    Atari 2600 Plus Coming in November 2023

    I don't know the technical terms, but watching Atari Archive vids on youtube (highly recommended), it's often discussed that programmers squeezed more onto cartridges/displays by using alternate pixels or something knowing how CRT displays scanned. I wonder if that's the issue if things aren't...

    What are you playing right now?

    Based on how much I use the Switch in handheld mode, I am tempted to pick up a portal. One of the free games this month on the PSN is POWERWASH SIMULATOR and good lord it's embarrassing how much I enjoyed power washing a stupid van last night. I want to finish ZELDA LINK TO THE PAST on the...

    eXistenZ 4K UHD Vinegar Syndrome

    I hope that means you bought the incredible Polish "Apocalypse Trilogy" to support their less mainstream fare, That one was one of the nicest surprises I got from them and a highlight of the year.

    Grand Theft Auto 6

    GTA IV is the only one I finished the main story on. I own GTA III and Vice City, but each of them I hit a wall where I couldn't get past a mission and gave up on it. I never tried San Andreas since it sounds like it has a ball ache mission I just don't have the patience for. I'm tempted to get...

    What are you playing right now?

    I "finished" finished Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PS4/5, meaning I did all the post game stuff I wanted to. It was kind of hard to stop? I just really like that world. I connect to these much more than the GTA series, I never did get GTAV and 6 is around the corner in a few years. Currently...

    I had more first timers than anyone so "I" won. :P You should get a medal. Fun thing is you watched most of the VS/OCN titles before me so I had an idea of what I was getting into from your Letterboxd haha

    Atari 2600 Plus Coming in November 2023

    I didn't order one, but a reviewer is posting pictures of a review model he got with the paddles and damn. I'm tempted lol.

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    Thanks for tallying this up Michael! This is the highest I've ever come in. Mostly due to having a bunch of extra time off work owed to me lol. This was a ton of fun, I'm already looking forward to next year.

    Here's my final wrap up. Full list is HERE. I think that link should work. 131 Movies total, no TV. 115 First time Watches. Favourite New Discoveries: Totally Killer (2023), Bad Biology (2008), Video Diary of a Lost Girl (2012), Infinity Pool (2023) Most Disappointing: The Boogeyman...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    I wrapped up the night with a trio of favourites. I'll post my final tally round-up later. 129 10/31 It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958) 4/5 Revisited this one and it’s wild how little it gets talked about these days, aside from ALIEN remixing it. Even without that connection it’s a hell...

    Same, I'm going to bite on that 4K disc I think. I watched it streaming. I've liked all of Cronenberg Jr. films. He's becoming a favourite of mine.

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    Having a movie time-out to watch the door so here's where I'm at. Hoping to get in two more classics tonight. This afternoon I ran mostly newer films. I think I've watched more films from 2022/2023 this challenge than I have all year! 124 10/30 Insidious: The Last Key (2018) 2.5/5 This one...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    There's more Insidious movies than I thought, and apparently I only watched the first two before. 120 10/29 Insidious Chapter 2 (2013) 3.5/5 This one was better than I remember it. A sequel that actually builds on the original film, and cleverly adds context to it which is a neat trick. It...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    Every year in these final days I start to feel lost on what to watch haha. I realized this challenge I haven't really watched a horror series, so I decided to give Insidious a run since it's been ages and I'm not sure I watched the third one, much less the brand new one. Aside from that, I'm...

    I think you're right. She certainly does some narration, I'm sure that's her voice. I plan on listening to the commentaries after the challenge. November is special features catch-up month lol. I really liked this set. I missed out on the Something Weird dvd back in the day so there were really...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    I may have to track down that Demon Murder Case movie. Just as a curiosity. 108 10/26 The Touch of Her Flesh (1967) 3/5 Sleazy sexploitation finds director Findlay starring as a guy who’s mind cracks after he finds his hot wife cheating on him. He vows to make all women pay. It’s not quite...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    I'm sure it looks like it's supposed to, I don't think it's a case like those Chaplin films where they removed so much grain you could see things you weren't supposed to. The gore never looked good, it's basically Herschel Gordon Lewis level doll parts with the orangey red paint blood haha. The...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    I admit it feels as close to a real movie compared to other WAVE productions that I have seen, but the pacing didn;t work for me. 20 minutes of carny magic show killed it and it never recovered. If not for tina Krause it wouldn't have been watchable at all haha. Her interview on the disc is...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    As I too make my way through the Vinegar Syndrome package of the month, I should have followed your advice! 98 10/24 Mother’s Day (1980) 3.5/5 Another one I managed to somehow avoid all these years despite being a little horror fan as a kid. Finally getting to it, I’m surprised how hard it...

    ***Official 24th Annual HTF October Scary Movie Challenge 2023***

    Smallish update since I went to the IMAX of Killers of the Flower Moon. I'm not counting, but I will say I don't think a film has ever hit me as hard as this one managed too. damn 95 10/24 The Majorettes (1986) 2/5 Bog standard 80s cheap-o slasher that’s most notable for the “Night of the...
