I don't think I ever watched Quick and the Dead. I remember the advertising for it, can't remember why I never bothered. Will definitely have to look for it and do a Hackman western double feature with an Unforgiven re-watch soon.

Since all the books are out, I am starting in on Tad Williams "Last King of Osten Ard" series. Will be re-reads of the first two, then into the stuff I haven't read yet.

Buffy, yes. Angel's lost two - Glenn Quinn and Andy Hallet

Yeah, being an old school wrestling fan I immediately had flashbacks to the Chris Benoit tragedy. Hopefully it's just carbon monoxide.

Had a long delay at the doctor's office, ended up reading both volume in "The InSpectres", which was pleasantly not bad. A literary League of Gentlemen without all the rape.

Well this was a lie as the game has now been delayed until July 29 Oh, I remember this crushing disappointment. The graphics are FUGLY and some closed beta reviews really were harsh on it. I'm not sure what they can do in four months, but here's to hoping they can at least fix the name.

Did Mom and Dad's taxes, and I think my present to myself this year will be to finally purchase the third part of StarCraft II. It's only been, what, a decade or so?

Same here. Has been this way for me for a long time. Are you using FireFox?

This week in South Carolina, we're going from possible snow flurries to 70+F by Tuesday. (WHY CAN'T I EMBED PHOTOS GGRRRRRR)

There was a X-Men Epic Collection for "God Loves, Man Kills" and damn humanity still sucks 40 years later

Gonna re-install Path of Exile overnight because I cannot stay away when they put out a short event that does some wacky new Ascendancies.

NetEase just laid off most everyone working on Marvel Rivals, after making approximately eleventy billion dollars profit. https://www.resetera.com/threads/marvel-rivals-director-shares-that-he-and-his-team-were-just-laid-off.1112481/

The only thing that caught my attention in the trailers was the adamantium mention. Harrison Ford looks like shit.

Read two parts of Marvel's Blood Hunt - the collected main story, and a collection of side stories. Short and to the point (ha ha), and I'm guessing only important because of what Doom does and how that leads into this year's theme. Read Babel: The Arcane History by R. F. Kuang. It was good in parts, but never really felt like it was taking place in the 1830's, and I would have loved more info about how the magic system worked. Now reading Goddess of the River by Vaishnavi Patel, a retelling of parts of the Mahabharata from the river's point of view. Very good so far.

https://bsky.app/profile/why485.bsky.social/post/3lhwgqjcnak2r (ugh, getting an undefined error when I post BlueSky links) Unity just fired 1800 people including entire package teams, and at the same time they released a memo describing the direction of the engine. They have made it very clear that Unity is simply a vehicle to sell ads in mobile games, and nothing else really matters much. https://80.lv/articles/exclusive-unity-ceo-s-internal-announcement-to-staff-amidst-the-layoffs/

Gonna be randomly dropping "A MINORRRRRR" into game chats for the foreseeable future.

Someone said the Big Bad is Sentry? Who I only know from the Marvel Puzzle Quest game.

Apparently PlayStation Network has been down since yesterday evening. Gamers are getting restless.

Oh, the EA CEOs are absolutely tailoring the narrative to fit what they want.

....OK, I'm hype. That was such a better Thing than the previous movie ones.

Fired up Diablo 3 to do the usual post-season stash clean-up, and saw that they were running "Darkening of Tristram", their Diablo homage. I vaguely remember doing it once years ago, but couldn't remember anything about it, so decided to give it a spin. They. Literally change the resolution of the screen and pixelize it. The UI changes to the old version. You even get Matt Uelmen's original soundtrack! I am pretty damn sure that is not what I saw when I played it a decade(?) ago, but I was so tickled I ran through the whole thing. Might even have to reinstall the remastered version.

Grinding Gears Games says Path of Exile 1 is not getting anything done on it for a while, since PoE 2 has turned into such a shitshow. https://steamcommunity.com/games/238960/announcements/detail/498312073043771525

....so it's about him having rage issues?

BioWare just fired most of it's studio, including most everyone who worked on Veilguard. https://blog.bioware.com/2025/01/29/bioware-studio-update/
