Sometimes I find stuff that I rather just keep for myself because it's SO good, @caseportmanaudio.com's sounds for example. Affordable packs of premixed sound effects ready for games, absolutely gold. Love these! caseportman.itch.io

This game is full of morally grey choices. No goodies. No baddies. Like, you can choose to side with the eco-terrorist Skypirates rebels or you can join the Obsidian Conclave and serve the Exterminatrix Prime.

"Be the first to see [MOVIE]" No, I will not. How could I be? Will the other cinema patrons wait outside while I watch it? Don't be absurd, man, listen to what you're saying. Did the editor not watch it? Why would I even want to be the only person who had seen a film? This is a madman's dream!

I think he added it when it was re-released in theaters before Empire came out. So if you saw it multiple times in theaters one of them was probably the "Episode IV" version.

If you took a billionaire's money away, they would just earn it back again. Cream rises to the top. I'm so confident about this, I think we should prove it by taking all the billionaires' money away.

My favourite episode is the one where Poirot gets a shoulder-mounted cannon.

A promotional still of David Suchet as Agatha Christie's Poirot, with (I think) an anti-aircraft gun peeking over his shoulder.
