Playing a video game yourself and watching someone else play a video game are not interchangeable for review/analysis purposes and I will never be convinced otherwise.

Since fall is here, I thought I would share my piece on the film adaptations of The Crow! It’s one of my all time favorite graphic novels, but it’s been a bumpy road with the movie versions.

Writing "wisdom" I hate: WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. This is the worst advice ever. It would be better if it was KNOW MORE SO YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT IT. Every good writer I know is constantly researching and getting new information and asking experts. It's a terrible bit of advice!

Bluesky cuties, consider this a good old fashioned call-out for work! I've landed safely thanks to your support, but financially things are still a little struggletown. This thread is really to remind commissioning type folks, producers and editors of the kind of work I do. Signal boosts welcome! 🧵

I love this alternative poster for Resident Evil, it’s an homage to the original box art for the PS1 game!

Finally had a chance to start up Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Only an hour or so in, but it’s fantastic so far. I love how expressive Mifune’s face is!

Loved Resident Evil. It’s more faithful to the games than it lets on in the marketing, but in a subtle thematic way. As a film critic and someone who has played all the mainline games, it satisfied me on both fronts, which is rare for video game adaptations.

91.8% of players, having waited nearly 20 years for MGS4 to be playable on anything other than PS3, booted the game and immediately made a beeline for a statue's dick

Just had to trim my left thumbnail so I could use my Sega Genesis controller D-pad if you were wondering how my Saturday is going.

People are saying NWR copied Euphoria with Her Private Hell as if Euphoria wasn’t eating his table scraps from movies he made 15 years ago. Please.

I’m in Michigan and we have a thick blanket of wildfire smog right now, and I just watched my coworker go out into it and smoke a cigarette. Bro is speed running lung cancer.

Gotta say, I’m thoroughly enjoying my Steam Machine! Is it too expensive? Yes. Does it do everything that I want it to do? Also yes.

Chapter 5 of Deltarune is fantastic so far, I’m constantly amazed at how creative Toby Fox is (and unapologetically Millennial).

there’s this idea that critics are stuck up and discriminating about taste, but in my experience critics tend to be far more open to different kinds of art, and it’s actually mainstream audiences who are extraordinarily discriminating, far more than they used to be, but in a bad way

If you love The Raid films you need to go out and see The Furious IMMEDIATELY. The fighting styles use a lot of momentum and inertia in a creative way, it feels a little like wrestling, but there’s a bit a fighting game style over-the-top stuff too. Yayan Ruhian is a fucking menace yet again!

MGS2 was revolutionary in so many ways. Can you imagine how the current gaming climate would react to Olga’s hairy pits? They can’t even handle a woman who looks older than 30 nowadays.

Copies of two more Deluxe titles are getting low - LEGEND OF THE SACRED STONE = less than 100 copies left from us, and HOFFMANIADA = less than 200 copies!

A graphic reading "Going...going...almost gone!" It shows the covers of the Deluxe Blu-ray editions of the films "The Legend of the Sacred Stone" with the caption "Less than 100 copies left," and "Hoffmaniada" with the caption, "less than 200 copies left."

This is my first time being published in a book! It’s a fantastic collection of essays about the films of Jack Hill by a bunch of talented writers (and me). I wrote my piece about Pam Grier and Coffy. Thank you to Anthony Taylor for asking me to contribute!
