Bookmarked for later. My Dad (who is Northern Irish so probably a little bit biased) was convinced Keith Gillespie could have been the next George Best.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
Hahaha really? Googling now...
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
You got Keith Gillespie though, who could have been brilliant.

Absolutely obscene money now. I'm going to sound so old but I remember when Andy Cole was the most expensive transfer at like... 7 million?

It's transfer deadline day, hooray. The last time I watched Transfer Deadline day people kept shouting 'fuck her right in the pussy' at the Sky news anchors. Sometimes I miss the UK.

My ideal situation (speaking as a Scot) is that Scotland goes independent, rejoins EU, and England is left to stew in its quagmire. Along with Wales.

Done a bit of reading into the guy, and he basically seems like the nu metal Max Landis.

There's a Falling In Reverse song with over 100 million views on youtube, the children have failed us.

Jesus, he got Marilyn Manson on a song too
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
Also I am absolutely not surprised to find out that he's on a Slaughter To Prevail song, because shit sticks together.

Reading about the lawsuit between Anthony Fantano and Ronnie Radke, and now I wish I'd never heard about Ronnie Radke.

I think this was the sequel to Bad Dudes. They should do a new game in the series called Sad Dudes where the characters are old, fat, bald.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
Playing it now, it's excellent, and I absolutely appreciate the lack of self knowing 'nudge nudge wink wink weren't the 90s mad eh' humour. Easily up there with Dusk/Cultic as far as classic fps games go. Like Quake 2 fused with a Clive Barker novel.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
I got the same stink off that one as I did Far Cry Blood Dragon.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
Super impressed by the tone, atmosphere etc. No self knowing shit like in Turbo Overkill. So far at least.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
If you want an idea as to the tone of this one, I just flushed a toilet and it filled up again with blood, and a skull floated up, looking at me.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social)
This is excellent. Quake 2 put through a Clive Barker filter essentially.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
you heard of this one @andihamilton.com
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
HROT and Cultic were excellent too, and I like Trepang2, imagine how well that could have done if the name wasn't lame.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
I thought Dusk would herald a revival for these kind of fps games, but most of them (especially Turbo Overkill and Warhammer Boltgun) have been self aware, 'nudge nudge wink wink weren't the 90s mad eh' wank. Incision looks nasty though, in the right way.

I wish i'd kept some kind of portfolio, given official ninty magazine, maxim and nowgamer were wiped away completely, and apparently all my videogamer work was done by someone else :/

I love Yakuza games, but every time one comes out my actual life goes to shit as I spend god knows how many hours helping out misunderstood perverts and beating up hoodlums

This is still much better than that godawful Zelda song by Dragonforce.

Back in the days of Napster, a song floated around that people thought was System of a Down. It became well known but a lot of people never knew who the real artist was. Fast forward to today, the group themselves officially released it on a 7" vinyl (recycled variant)
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
The structure is similar, mooch around a mansion, solve puzzles, open doors to parallel worlds etc. Not as grim as Eternal Darkness, but the fact it gave me the feeling...
Andi Hamilton (@andihamilton.com) reposted reply parent
I think the house stuff, the puzzles and the way the game unlocks from that central hub is the good shit. Stick a few roaming zombies in them hallways and you'd have a better Resi than most recent ones.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
I kind of appreciate how the stalker enemy is very easily avoidable, and leaves you to your own devices unless you actively want to run into it
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
The ending was wild too. No real gore to speak of for 99 percent of the game amd then... 'oh, that lad got pulled in half'. Good puzzles too, make you feel like a clever clogs.

It's the closest we've ever got to a new Eternal Darkness.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social)
Just completed Alone In The Dark 2024. I think I prefer it to the new Resident Evil stuff. Only one bit with a very easily avoidable shit stalker enemy.

I woulDn't say I regret getting my Switch 2, Mario Kart is fine, and Donkey Kong is very good, but I could have probably waited a bit.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social)
I like how some big studios and indies couldn't get Switch 2 dev kits, but the people that did that mad campfire game with the big stupid camera faces got one. Classic Nintendo.

An absolute all timer along with Perfect Dark. Such a shame Microsoft screwed things up the past 20 years.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social)
Eeeeeeeeeasily one of the best of all time, along with Perfect Dark. Kind of amazing how badly Microsoft fucked that all up the last 20 years.

August 25 1997, GoldenEye 007 debuted on the N64 in the Americas! Though games like 1080° Snowboarding, Banjo Kazooie and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time have a prominent sun, Goldeneye's outdoor levels do not feature one! No sun! Flat earth or whatever probably!

And while the right wing story was constantly changing, the police report and the story from the teenagers both remained consistent. The teenagers say that big balls was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl, and when he wouldn't leave her alone the boy jumped in to defend her.

Early 2000s relapse was king. Mastodon, Nile, Pig Destroyer, Burnt By the Sun, High on Fire, Origin etc
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social)
Sucks about Brent Hinds. First time I ever heard Mastodon was on a relapse records sampler in 2003, and I went out to get Remission the very next day. Huge influence on me, and a gateway to loads of more aggressive sludge/noise.

Blade 2 is great too. Fight where he does a delayed vertical suplex while a crystal method song is cranking away is the best
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social)
Easily the best comic film along with the Burton Batman.
Dan (@mrhiki.bsky.social) reply parent
I love Blade 2 as well. The fight scene where hes amping himself up and that crystal method song starts playing and he does a delayed vertical suplex is the greatest piece of marvel related cinema ever.

Talking with a work colleague about our favourite Bond girls, showed him a pic of Sophie Marceau in 'The World Is Not Enough', and he asked 'is that an old Bond film?' The film is older than he is, life is fleeting and hellish.

The youtube shorts algorithm feeds me so much boomer film slop. I have seen a million variations of 'hero having a quiet drink at a bar batters the shit out of some lippy young scamps.' Also 'ultraviolet fight scene set to anachronistic pop song.'
