Do you like period piece whodunnits with a good premise and a complex plot? Then may I recommend The Final Problem, on Netflix, a Spanish 4-ep series dubbed in English that keeps a good pace throughout and does not end when you think it’s about to.

Do you enjoy fun, silly, almost goofy action comedies? Then may I recommend Matchbox: The Movie, which is exactly as you’d expect from a John Cena action film that forces a weird IP into an action film that isn’t car focused. Doesnt matter, its as light as cotton candy but with good one liners.

Aw, after years and years, the Hello Kitty I peeled off a greeting card and stuck onto my iPad mini’s case has finally popped off of that. No choice but to get a new iPad mini, really. 🤷‍♂️ But srsly I’m going to because the teeny tiny storage on this ancient model is a constant frustration. 😅

More pix from today’s corporate team building event: make knives out of rebar! Pictured is the forge, my anvil with work in progress leaning against it, and finished product! It turned out OK considering my skill is literally zero. Good instruction!

🚨 V. dense fog this morning it’s difficult to even see. Keep an ear out for the taps from peg legs of zombie leper pirates. Sharp ears, long life! ☁️🧟‍♂️🦠⚓️

🚨 Dense fog under a thin crescent moon this morning. Zombie leper pirates can see just fine in such low light! Beware of anyone looking like they know where they’re going. ☁️🧟‍♂️🦠⚓️

Do you enjoy really great pitch-perfect horror that’s technically based on an extant IP but really it’s just like two names? Then may I recommend the wonderfully scripted, directed, & choreographed Resident Evil (2026) which uses great cinematography to help convey near constant tension. Fab.

Remember a few days ago when I posted about the date guy with no game? OH: Him: “What are your intentions romantically?” Her: “…” Him: “That silence is deafening.” Holy cats, my guy. 🪦 Also, we’re waiting for Resident Evil. It will be _so_ shocking and gory, why are you telling her otherwise?!

Do you enjoy movies that are trash but then maybe you think it’s trash on purpose working toward an actual trashy goal that makes a kind of weird sense? Then may I recommend Verity, which is the height of pulpy, twisty, shocking, schlocky nonsense that exists for reveals—and it reveals a _lot_.

Listen, do you enjoy crime thrillers that’re a combination of well written, acted, directed, and fresh? Then may I recommend Tuner, a movie that just clicks. The plot moves. The characters feel. The stakes are simultaneously high and low and sharp. It’s new from old pieces. Give it a whirl.

My main beta character is 18/20 and I was just thinking about throttling back on my #Forever hours and gently getting to 20. Ha! Not any more! The spookiest zone requires level 30 characters last I looked so spooky season is on the menu let’s gooo! 🥳

Watched this Hallmark where people row pumpkins in a race. I thought it was beyond silly and was going to make a joke that this was in an alternate universe of tiny people. Color me orange when I discovered that this is a real thing with actual real-life giant pumpkins grown for the purpose. 🎃

OMG an additional pet slot in #Forever costs 5 *gold?!* Are you insane? Gold! Five *gold?* who in the world has that kind of money? As a hunter with no bag space who has to buy anmo, excuse me! Maybe if I save up I’ll have enough but the time the beta closes. 😅

Do you enjoy wildly inaccurate stories that take weird wild tangents—that are nevertheless engaging? Then may I recommend Monsters: The Lizzie Borden Story, which spells “Lizzie” correctly and that’s almost the only thing. But forget that. It’s well executed. (Get it?) Great acting/direction.

Goodness, haven’t seen this in awhile on the #Forever beta. Must still be trying to work things out. And please do so, #Blizzard. I’d rather wait now than later. I’m already assuming the queue on launch day will be launch *day* but this gives me weird kind of hope, in a way, eh?

Eric Haddock @abashima.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Do you enjoy light wahoo Star Wars action? Then may I recommend The Mandalorian and Grogu, which felt like a couple episodes smushed together—which is fine because those would’ve been good episodes. It’s fun, lightly plotted, actiony with some great fights, cute, and yeah, relax and have fun.

Fall might have well and truly arrived—not only is it raining but it’s super dark out in the middle of the day and chilly. i.e. the bestest! Most welcome! Quite the nice change. ☔️😊 #Seattle

From 3 sep. sources I’ve heard “I want to play WoW—but I don’t know what to do.” This. For me, it’s part choice paralysis, part I’ve already done what I’ve needed, part knowing what I do will be erased next expansion. But when I log on to the #Forever beta, I know 💯. Big different. Big appeal.

I’ve played a fair amount of hours in the #Forever beta test and it’s likely it’ll be my new #Warcraft from here on out when it launches in November. It’s that good. It’s that different in feel than Retail and I’m surprised at how much I like it. A month ago, I’d have scoffed. But today? Goodness.

I hadn’t watched 60 Minutes in years and years, maybe decades. I tuned in on Sunday though for the Clancy interview—like a sucker. What a shallow excuse of a puff piece—that didn’t even include the preview clip content. No hard questions. What a waste of time. #60Minutes was ignored—now it’s dead.

🚨 Dense #Fog again this morning. Zombie leper pirates are sure to be out and about—for murder! Do not accept any offers of advance copies of Ocarina of Time as it’s a trick. ☁️🧟‍♂️🦠⚓️

At a restaurant and can unavoidably hear a first date. This gentleman, who is older than I am, has no game. I’m surprised because it seems he’d have developed something by now. He has not. Meanwhile she is eager for it to end. He might have picked up on it—his game is worsening as minutes past. 😬🪦

Do you enjoy good period piece action films where Nazis die by the basket full? Then may I recommend The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which is a classic WWII desperate mission caper based on a true story. Except this time is cheekily British with some dry wit and tense action. Good show.

Ah, this quest was bugged last night—couldn’t learn their plans or interact with them (if even that’s what one is supposed to do, dunno). Large group of us just stood around and /say trying to figure out, logging out/in, &c. Not quite the social sharing Blizzard intends! 😄

Spent about four hours playing the #Forever beta tonight. Hoo boy, it’s super good. Super good. I can easily see this becoming my main #Warcraft outlet. I tried the new race, #Skyborne, and they’re fun and interesting. It’s beta, so not everything is 💯. The whole realmless scheme seems to work.
