It's been a long time coming, but here's my review for Elden Ring - zoewhitten.com/game-review-...
Short Version: Was it as good for you as it was for me? It wasn't what I expected.
QTP with the last 4 games you played!
It's been a long, LONG time, but I finally have a new review for Hitman: zoewhitten.com/so-i-finally...
Short version: I may actually be good at murder?!?!
We had a spider last year who successfully spun a web 3 meters between two trees that was about two meters tall. I think he was hoping to catch me, but instead he only got 1,000 mosquitoes.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Infantile as it shows me to be, Spidey’s thingie just gave me my first giggle of the day, so I’m sharing it. No idea who created it.

RIP to a legend
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.
Yeah, okay but...uh...my slide into fascism offers more lube! So yeah! Also, we still get offered a cigarette after we're fucked!
Nothing says Christmas like a new horror story 💚

Proof that he was playing nice up until then. Plus, Logan having bone claws was...unexpected.
Samesies! Loved the first two, and I'm looking forward to this as soon as I can stream it.
The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go.
Hell yeah, give me that time machine! °(^_^)°
It's that special time of the year when I sing the song of my people.
It goes:
I'm freezing my ass off, and must make chicken tortilla soup for dinner.
Lucky for me, I found all the ingredients, including the super rare black beans and the stupidly rare fresh cilantro. It's a holiday miracle!
So how stupid has YouTube advertising become? I'm currently seeing ads inviting me to get authentic Italian food delivered to my house, when I live in in Italy. ('-_y)
I looked up the ONLY TWO NFL games on Netflix for Christmas, and the first sentence of their ad was "You can't spell Netflix without NFL." I spent the next hour gasping from laughter. Like, where's the rest of the season? NBC and Fox. BUT YOU CAN'T SPELL NETFLIX WITHOUT NFL. OMG IT'S SO STUPID! X^D
Random post: I smoked a duck for the first time ever.
Me: I smoked a duck once in my teens. I woke up in a pond with my mouth tasting like burnt feathers.
We watched The Vast of Night, which set itself up as a knockoff Twilight Zone, and then spends a long time in Quentin Tarantino dialogue bit before getting into the real story. Fifteen minutes in, I was wondering, “does this get to a good point?” Twenty minutes in, it got good, and stayed good.
I decided that even though I'm in Italy, this year I'm celebrating Thanksgiving. I've got a lot to be thankful for in these trying times, so I'm celebrating with a roast chicken and some garlic rosemary baby potatoes. For dessert there's chocolate from Modica! Happy Thanksgiging, y'all!
In the early 19th century, there was a small group of women writers who believed in finishing their latest stories before celebrating with their friends, all of them dressing in garter belts and stockings.
This group was called prose before hose.
I'll be doing an online workshop on character creation and development for Blue Stoop on December 7th! Interested? Register and pay here: www.bluestoop.org/classes/p/nk...
So apparently, Amazon is struggling on how to bring back James Bond after he died. Setting aside the "it's just a moniker" argument, how about we take that hot new 007 from the last film and make a Jane Bond? Because I'd watch a whole series of her being a badass with no complaints.
Okay...turkey and potato filling, with a cranberry glaze. Too crazy?
It's the first season, and the second will be Pluribu2. Season three is expected to be Pluri3us.
My final verdict? Three films out of four that I loved, plus a bag of lollipops, and an audience who seemed ready to share the experience together. 5 of 5 stars, and I'm ready for a new marathon next year.
Vampyr: A 1932 German vampire movie from a Danish director that was digitally remastered with a "new" soundtrack from the Philharmonic Orchestra of Bologna. A vampire movie that has amazing acting, good special effects, and multiple moments of True Horror. Quite good.
Presence: not so much horror as supernatural suspense, this one left me asking "what's the point," right up until they get to the point. Then I said, "Okay, that was pretty good." Would watch again.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: due to friends and folks online reviewing this, I avoided it for years out of concern that it's too gory. Turns out, it's a damn fine horror movie that's not afraid to dip into Teh Politics. An absolute Must-Watch horror film.
