My #ResidentEvil adaptation ranking! Missing a few of the animated offerings - if I can ever be bothered to watch. I would stick the live-action Netflix series somewhere in the middle of the Anderson saga - I liked it a lot more than most! And yes, I really did see Biohazard: The Stage...on stage!

1. Resident Evil (2026)
2. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
3. Resident Evil (2002)
4. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
5. Resident Evil: Retribution
6. Resident Evil: Apocalypse
7. Resident Evil: Extinction
8. Resident Evil: Afterlife
9. Biohazard: The Stage
10. Biohazard 4D-Executer
11. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness
12. Resident Evil: Degeneration

GO-MAN VS. THE STAR DRAGON is OUT NOW in the UK! Have you read it yet? What do you think? It should be available from all good comic and book stores, or order online from wherever you get your books.

Whenever I post about Dead End, I see people who didn't know it was based on graphic novels or that I have a brand new series which has all the same diversity, world-building and heart. Go-Man is inspired by my childhood special interest in Godzilla and Pokemon but is much more than that.

There's a very good chance Sam Neill was in at least one of your favourite movies. From prestige pieces to cult classics, from blockbusters to B-movies, he was always wonderful to watch, and seemed like a genuinely decent guy to boot. A great loss.

Very sad to hear of the passing of the legendary film critic Tony Rayns. Was literally speaking to him just last month for some writing on an upcoming release of mine. One of the big reasons why so much great Asian cinema has made it to audiences overseas. He will be missed.

The National Diet Library digital collection has copies of Shogakukan's mad "What and Why Educational Encyclopaedia" series (なぜなに学習図鑑), published from 1970-76. Shigeru Komatsuzaki's dolphin's attacking illustration from the 9th book is the most famous but there are other highlights. dl.ndl.go.jp

9th book of Shogagkukan's "What and Why Educational Encyclopaedia", published in 1971, titled “The Mysteries of the Body”. Features a fire-eating man, and a girl's head with a brain-shaped graphic overlaid, inside of which, small figures are carrying out various activities.

Shigeru Komatsuzaki's famous dolphins attacking illustration, Two dolphins move upright, firing blasts at a man from a weapon connected to two red tanks on their backs.

Looking at the features of the Star Fox remake, I feel like this game will be controversial

Screenshot from the Nintendo website -

Intense Space Combat: Hop into your Arwing, a high-performance aerospace fighter, and use laser blasts to take down opposing forces. You can also brake in mid-air to get enemies off your tail (no pun intended), and, of course, pull off barrel rolls to defend against incoming fire.

Protection Against Perverse Enjoyment: The animal characters are not intended to provide sexual gratification. The Switch 2 console will shut down if it detects that the player is becoming aroused.

Warning: profanity A photo in the booklet for the official 1993 Super Mario Compact Disco album contains a profane shirt in a photo that likely slipped through due to be being printed so small that it requires extreme zooming in to view the swear.

A LOT can happen between an opening and ending theme.

Screencap from the opening of the anime Ganba in which Ganba the mouse poses with all of his mouse friends. The caption merrily reads "Ganba, Ganba, Ganba and his friends!"

The last shot from the ending theme to Ganba in which the villainous weasels darken the dusky sky and the caption reads "but the evening sun will bleach your skull and those of your friends."

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD."

Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version."

PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"
