Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 7hSo is Boatbuilders or General Assembly the place to be tonight? #PAXAUS 110
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 15hThe year it clashed with Sexpo made for fun concourse discourse 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Mewgenics has been great, I can tell I'm gonna be playing this for ages 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Well there's always General Assembly (tomorrow, at 6pm) 000
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Nice! I better go chase up my copy, I wouldn't be surprised if Aus Post has just lost it. 110
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I went to the premiere at the Astor, saw it again by myself the morning it was released properly, then again with a couple friends on a cheap Tuesday, and am considering one more cinema session before I buy the 4K Blu-ray whenever that comes out. 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026There's an episode of Round the Twist where the angry ghost who haunts the dump walks through the bedroom wall of one of the bullies and leaves a cow skull on his pillow while the kid is screaming 020
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026My #MIGW consists solely of PAX on Saturday, Co-Op drinks on Friday and hanging around Boatbuilders trying to pretend I still belong in the games industry on Saturday night 020
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Jesus man. I've been like 15 times this year I think. $10 Tuesdays is the best 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I just signed up for the Melbourne presale and it said to expect an email on October 6 at 12pm. 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Honestly I get wanting to see the last good Marvel movie in theatres again, but I don't care to go to a different city to find the right cinema so I can watch 3 extra minutes 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Spent most of today begrudgingly updating my LinkedIn profile and my god they will just not shut up about AI over there huh 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Finally! I bought it on Steam, played an hour and could only think "this is good but it's a Switch game" and haven't touched it since 110
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Thanks man. It's looking rough out there in general 011
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Well, my redundancy has been finalised today. Not really sure what to do with myself now, but posting about it again feels vaguely productive. 1117
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026SEO is dead - these headlines are chasing Google Discover traffic. It's hoping to get on someone's algo off the back of Spiderman and the Odyssey. And withholding the name of the show for a few paras is specifically to then increase engagement through time-on-page. 000
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Oh do they still do articles? I thought they'd pivoted to collections of screenshots of posts from social media 011
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Hmm I wonder if I'll hate it then if I am a Resident Evil fan and did love Weapons 100
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Making good use of my newfound unemployment by going to the first screening of Coyote vs Acme this morning 040
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Oh man, it is an absolute delight. I saw it at the Australian premiere last month, and I'm using my newfound unemployment to go to the first session tomorrow morning. 110
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I know the music stopped 10 years ago and the industry has been rapidly removing the few remaining chairs, but no harm in asking hey 020
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It's looking increasingly likely that my time at ScienceAlert is coming to an end. So I guess I have to join the chorus of people asking if anybody knows of any outlet that might be in need of an experienced writer, editor and/or fact checker, in science, tech, games or pop culture. 289
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I was wondering what happened to Marvin. The leaked plot summary mentioned that he would have shown up at the very end, taking over as head of Acme's animated division after Foghorn Leghorn is arrested - but I was surprised that he never appeared. That leak must have been of an earlier cut. 110
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Usually when it has a ridiculous release date like that it's a placeholder until they confirm the actual date. 110
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I saw it at a film festival a few weeks ago and I've been dying for it to open here widely so I can go again 010

Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Yeahhhh in hindsight I didn't need to stay up for that one. Oops 100
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026We're selling a coffee table for 5 bucks and someone asked if we could deliver it too 120
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I'm in the Slack group for Hard Drive pitches and from what I can tell they are basically dead 001
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Maybe it's asking too much of a rag like this, but if you ARE gonna rip off a story, you should probably at least also rip off the facts properly? 000
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Been working on this story for a couple weeks, and it's got everything: surprisingly valuable antiques, the plight of the thylacine, and bad taxidermy. www.sciencealert.com/antique-fox-...sciencealert.comAntique 'Fox Head' Bought at Auction Wasn't a Fox at All. It Was a Long-Extinct Species.With its googly eyes, lumpy forehead, and awkward almost-smile, the strange, taxidermied fox head at the antique market was funny enough to throw down 50 quid on. When the buyer later sold it at auct... 211542
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Another repeat. Looks like they might not be supporting it as directly anymore, with their new game out (which is also amazing) 100
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Ladies and gentlemen... We got him patch.com/california/n...patch.comCoyote Finally Catches Road Runner In Wild LA PhotoOn "Looney Tunes," Wile E. Coyote never had much luck catching Road Runner. But one real-life canine was more successful. 051
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I dunno, I guess that's too dark for the vibe of the movie, but as is, the happy ending feels weirdly tacked on. 000
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The ending I thought they were building towards was that as the family stands there watching the wormhole bubble eat the neighbourhood, suddenly everyone but ol Ewan McGregor disappears - because none of them would've survived without him going back in time with them. 100
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Anyway, so Ewan McGregor gets eaten by an Allosaurus, right? Then the rest of the family wormholes back to the present and rescues him before the neighbourhood wormholes to the past in the first place. BUT doesn't that cause a paradox if he never went back at all? 100
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The End of Oak Street was a popcorn-fun movie, but I can't help but feel like there was a darker original ending that got focus-grouped out of existence. Threading in case anyone cares about spoilers... 100
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Modern Mark looks way more like someone who would work at Sovereign Hill than Past Mark who actually did 130
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I don't know what AI list I got slurped up into but I keep getting these for books I definitely did not write. 010
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Yeah you had to angle the Wii remotes in particular poses to get through cutouts 000
Michael Irving @mikeirvo.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The obvious answer is Portal 2. Deep cut funniest award goes to Muscle March though 130
