Look, it's my @backpagepod.bsky.social draft pick turning into a news story. Every single person who reads this news owes me a vote now. That's just how it works.

Sad to say I now won't be heading to gamescom next week. First one since 2010 I've missed (ignoring the cursed lockdown years). I'll be reading all the LinkedIn inspo posts/viewing the glut of IG big meat platter stories with great envy.

Unwisely started playing Droid Factory yesterday - essentially Star Wars Cookie Clicker - and it absolutely consumed my day. It means nothing, it's pointless but I can't stress enough how badly I need those beskar BB8s bringing in the big bucks so my base can be the shiniest in all of Tatooine.

Had dinner at a french restaurant and by misunderstanding the particulars of the french language accidentally ordered a gamescom special (aka pork knuckle). Can confirm it is only enjoyable after enduring 15k+ steps and losing all sense of self in an airless convention centre prior to eating.

Shaming myself with the cranky "it's not big and it's not clever energy"... I finished Dispatch last night which I *loved* but - and perhaps this is something about being on the precipice of 40 - I kept wondering if they needed to cuss so much. Chill out, kids.

They invited me back so I put Sam's tolerance for Ghostbusters to the test by making him play a bunch of old games and then listen to me prattle on about them endlessly for hours.

Had a lot of fun at yesterday's unveiling of the DOOM "Slayeux Tapestry" at the Royal Armouries. Loads of hard work went into it and the response from all the community folks that turned up was electric. Didn't expect to be patting sweat off a 7ft4 "Dutch Giant" but I wasn't going to tell him no.

Kinda weird how by the end of Severance S2 you can see the similarities in its framework to Lost S2 (numbers on a computer; Lumon top floor as a Others analogue). Lost created a clear tension in the big picture balanced with ideological conflicts fuelling it's central S2 mysteries...

Latest Severance was utterly dull. It just did nothing for me. A one-note character with 10mins of screen time this season getting a big backstory episode. Big prequel comic energy.

That Jurassic World trailer is a big whiff to me. Throwing dinosaurs in your face every few seconds is likely good marketing, but where's the tension/stakes. Completely lacks the sense of scale and colossal dread that Edwards brings with his filmmaking.
