Pretty much, with a seam of Home Alone through it too!

Always happy to find another fan! I think it helps that the plot is pretty unpredictable all the way through, just when you think you have it sussed it throws another curve ball

Cool, same order as me then! Hope you get as immersed into it as I did!

Is it the first or second one you're playing? I actually started with 2, and am only now playing through the first one (hurray for black Friday Xbox sale!)

So Microsoft gave me an £8 voucher for... Some reason (not complaining, maybe they like me)... I got Death Stranding with it. Not played a Kojima game since MGS3 (on the PS2)... Kinda looking forward to making Norman Reedus carry loads of boxes around!

Amazing isn't it? We've been itching to return to Amsterdam since we visited last year, such a cool place, and good people too!

That's cos Henry is a wholesome mediaeval feller, can't help but want to take care of the poor hapless soul! Especially when he gets berated by Capon all the time

Makes sense, got to look after yourself, and treat yourself to the sheer fanciness of the fountain, the highest evolution of the humble pen!

Craig Rathbone (Writer) @crathbone.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Can't say I blame you it's a banger! Winter Soldier had this exchange between Cap and an evil Hydra computer containing a baddie from the first movie, the Tobey Jones delivers the line before he drops a missile on them both there is chilling. Something like "we are, both of us, out of time!"

I used to have a fountain pen in school, it was such a cool item, except I kept getting ink EVERYWHERE and had to surrender it after one too many school shirts looked like they'd been paintballed... They are magnificent things though, ooze fanciness

It's a bangin' line from Barbossa (the best character in those movies btw), always fun to quote!

Gremlins 2, what a stone cold classic! Shame all the versions out there these days have the Hulk Hogan scene though, the VHS copy we had as kids had a John Wayne scene instead, which was much funnier!

Beloved friends, I don't know half of you as well I should like etc., etc. so let's have a #AuthorInterview thread! Answer whatever questions suit your fancy.

Very true, you're on that frontline, and can provide really valuable insights just like those in your newsletter! And also gothic romance novels, it seems!

Craig Rathbone (Writer) @crathbone.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

That was a really interesting read! Amazing that a hormone change can also affect the imagination/way you think so much! Happy for you though, really cool that your imagination has been fired up and you're on a roll with a new WIP

Yeah, dark doesn't quite cover it! The idea of animation for adults was an alien concept to me back then, really did open a lot of doors in my brain. The fact that the same friend introduced me to FFVII the same year says it all!

It's been good so far, bit stressful but when isn't it!? And I'll definitely leave some crumbs out, maybe a lil bit of cheese too!

A few months ago, someone came into the local writers’ club looking for help in editing his life story. That help turned out to be me. As it turns out, he’s lived through some wild things, and I’m glad I got to help him turn it into something for other people to read. 🧵1/7

Yeah same, any sort of planning or forward thinking with art or writing, just doesn't work for my brain! I need to pick up a pencil or start typing, and just see what happens

010

Craig Rathbone (Writer) @crathbone.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

It's kind of inspired me to dig out the mechanical pencils to be honest! Must be 20 years for me!

Fair, here's hoping you get the best result you can possibly have! It's been many, many years since I drew regularly, so I know what you mean when you say you forgot a lot!

Fine doodling skills there, I like it! And hope everything goes ok for you in the upcoming corporeal repairs!

It's that one franchise that every time I think I'm out... It just drags me back in, sometimes kicking and screaming!

Hurray for not crashing, the little Husqavarna doing a good job there! Rider too, I guess

Yeah, I was going through my playlist and most of the songs are... Not what I'd want for next year at all! I'm glad this track got my attention!

Right? It's got this really epic aaaah-aaaaah-aaaah bit in the chorus and man it hits me right in the nostalgia!

My old Fitbit used to throw up some really random stats I gotta say! My newer watch uses Fitbit too, and it's really good! Couldn't have improved my health without it this year, for sure! Hopefully your Garmin one proves itself and helps you out!

Craig Rathbone (Writer) @crathbone.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

I stumbled upon them a few months back purely by accident, but gotta say I love that cyberpunk sound! Their cover of China in Your Hands is also really, really good!
