This really resonates - when we did Overlode (100 yrs ago) I was worried we wouldn't get the pitches, and our goal would fall flat. We actually never struggled to find diverse talent in the freelance pot, it came so naturally because we weren't asking for credentials that minorities struggle to get.

How do I remove the voice module in my head that calls me a lazy piece of shit and replace it with one that periodically reminds me that I've managed to build and maintain a career in games with a body that can barely get out of bed most days, is there an iFixit for that

The thing about The Prestige (2006) is no one tells you that it's just like the movie Heat

I think I've missed some discourse because I went to work and then made a bacon pasta bake, and honestly that might be the best possible place to be

Had an absolutely lovely birthday - best one I've had for many years actually. Very spoiled by family and pals, had a Big Day Out, ate a Wagamama, and now I'm playing Metal Gear Rzeznik Revengeance. Peak Friday honestly

Watched Transformers One last night, and it was actually a blast - but no one's talking enough about how Optimus Prime closed the mines and is effectively Cybertron's Maggie Thatcher

Massive food festival going on behind my house this weekend which has been a sensory nightmare so far, but lightened by the ability to Splinter Cell through my back gate and a wee alley that spits me out in the middle of the fest, grab a bucket of churros and beef, and slink back into the shadows

Is there a German word for knowing every word to every cheesy heavy metal song you hear, but involuntarily singing it like you're mocking it? Brought to you by me, hearing Judas Priest's Breaking the Law while making a sandwich

I'm sure we all have our formative memories of the inimitable Tim Curry, but nothing haunts me quite like his portrayal of Forte, the villainous pipe organ from Beauty and the Beast: An Enchanted Christmas (1997), a tremendous performance that scarred me as a child and no one talks about it

The remastered Transformers: The Movie is absolutely diabolical. The Touch's 00's AOR piss filter. Death of Optimus Prime borrowed Korg presets from Josh Silver. Dare to be Stupid has upset me beyond all measure. What are we doing here, how have you fucked this www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuMC...

Dom offered a lot of support when I started my very first music blog. Helped me into a lot of rooms I shouldn't have been in. Gave me the time of day when a lot of publications and PR wouldn't, eventually leading to my wee stint for Team Rock. Massive legend. This shit is rotten for a freelancer.
