Drop something BLACK.

My slow crawl through Breath of the Wild has passed another major milestone; I have completed the Mandatory Awful Stealth Section! Wait ... there is only one MASS in this game, right?

Finally got around to watching Silo; it isn't one of my very-favourite TV shows, but it is nice to watch story about the ruthlessness and unhelpfulness of an average IT department.

The Mission: Impossible movie franchise cost $1.5 billion to make, and my favourite part of it is this tweet.

Me, when Doctor Who Unleashed talks about a lighthouse more than 12's entire era:

I've seen a few people say the don't want a Mass Effect series to tell a "canonical" Commander Shepard story, and that's pretty smart ... but I want a Mordin Solus medical drama, and let's be honest, THAT is fucking genius.

My #PS1 review is G Police. I never played this one back in the day - it's super interesting, but super difficult to get the hang of #PlayStation #PSVita kresnik258gaming.wordpress.com/2025/02/24/p...

G-Police. @GOGcom. Know what I'm sayin'?

I've seen some debate about the 15th Doctor's last words, but I think we can all agree on what Evil 15's would have been:

Passing through Wolverhampton, I noticed some graffiti that said "ORCS", and a few streets later saw another piece saying "ORKS." There is only one logical conclusion: the city is currently divided by feuding Warhammer gangs.

Me (seeing Doctor Who fans coming up with theories about the wish-world not having ended, and remembering the conclusion of the Mass Effect trilogy):

happy pride month!

There comes a point when I have to accept Doctor Who will never again reclaim what it was at its best for me, both because it's no longer being ran by Steven Moffat, and because I'm no longer a child.

I've just started watching Ted Lasso, and four episodes in, it's going ... pretty well!

I like how my views on the last three eras of Doctor Who are so close that if I use a 5-star rating it goes "13 best, then 14, then 15", but a 10-point rating goes "14 best, then 15, then 13."

Since 2021, Tell Me Why has been a free download in June to mark Pride Month each year. 🏳️‍🌈📅 We’re almost at June and Don’t Nod’s three-episode adventure title from 2020 is now available for FREE again. 😍 You can find it on the Microsoft Store for Xbox players and on Steam for PC users! 🎮💻 #DontNod

There are QLED TVs now? I still don't even know what OLED stands for! And did I just miss out PLED TVs entirely?

Tell Me Why is once again free on Steam for Pride Month! If you liked Life is Strange, I highly recommend it. There's also a canon trans character voiced by a trans person! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1180660/Tell_Me_Why/

Me, watching the latest Captain America movie after having seen Thunderbolts:

Happy Glorious 25th of May! GNU Sir Terry Pratchett. How do they rise up? #Glorious25th #Discworld #TruthJusticeFreedomReasonablyPricedLove #Speakhisname

Happy Glorious 25th of May <3 #GNUTerryPratchett #Discworld #TerryPratchett

Since my family decided to watch it on Netflix whilst I was visiting, I finally sat through Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. To be fair, I DID enjoy one bit; the Warburton's advert starring Olivia Colman that played halfway through.

will the coens ever stay apart long enough to get separate wikipedia pages

I am happy to report that Rylan was on my favourite TV episode of the week ... well, outtakes of him were on Have I Got News For You, but I'm pretty sure that counts.

I'm probably one of the last people to see Thunderbolts* at the cinema, but I still don't like spoiling things, so my short review is: -pretty good movie. -VERY good end credits. No, not the post-credit scene, the actual credits sequence. Just ... wow.

Prequels often suffer from weak endings, as we already know how some of their characters end up ... but dammit, I teared up at the end of Andor, when Cassian put on that distinctive armoured suit and BECAME the Andorlorian.

Judging by the success of Andor, I expect Disney to announce a series called Many Bothans any day now.

Just about to watch the last three episodes of Andor. I know it's a long shot, but I'm REALLY hoping for a scene between Krennic and Palpatine ... those two actors are both such ravenous scenery-chewers that by the end, we'd see what The Volume looks like.
