A theory that's been forming in my head from that Cyberpunk 2077 reveal is that in the gameplay demo it is shown that as part of character creation you can choose who your PC's childhood hero is, among those choices being Johnny Silverhand. My wild guess is that that whoever projects himself to you changes based on what you choose, meaning that there might yet be some celebrity reveals in store (Dave Bautista for Morgan Blackhand and George Takei for Saburo Arasaka for instance).

I still won't be surprised if it still gets delayed into late Summer, and CDPR chooses not to have it as a centerpiece at E3 2020 since independent marketing will already be ready to ramp up soon after.

At the very minimum Rick and Morty gets those of us who are in the hobby.

Word of mouth post-launch has really gotten the ball rolling for this game's fortunes, so you may be waiting some time yet.

Wonder if there's a sense at Beamdog that they've been passed over.

Newest model I'm about to edge highlight. I hope somewhere down the line I look at this and don't think "Man, the half-and-half stripes and diamonds scheme looks stupid" because these guys are a bastard to paint once all the pieces are glued together.

Would be interesting if Davis–Monthan Air Force Base (the real "Boneyard") made it into a future West Coast Fallout game.

Grand Moff Tarkin: Stormtrooper, what is that button on your body armor? Hapless Stormtrooper: A peace symbol, sir. Tarkin: Where'd you get it? Stormtrooper: I don't remember, sir. Tarkin: What is that you've got written on your helmet? Stormtrooper: "Cloned to Kill", sir. Tarkin: You write "Cloned to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke? Stormtrooper: No, sir. Tarkin: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I _will_ unleash the Death Star on your sorry butt. Stormtrooper: Yes, sir. Tarkin: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man. Stormtrooper: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir. Tarkin: The what? Stormtrooper: The duality of man. The Yoda thing, sir. Tarkin: Whose side are you on, son? Stormtrooper: Our side, sir. Tarkin: Don't you love the Empire? Stormtrooper: Yes, sir. Tarkin: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win? Stormtrooper: Yes, sir. Tarkin: Son, all I've ever asked of my Stormtroopers is that they obey my orders as they would the word of the Emperor. We are here to help the Wookies, because inside every Rebel Scum there is an Imperial trying to get out. It's a hardball galaxy, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over. Stormtrooper: Aye-aye, sir.

"Cyber-Altered Task unit."

I dare not press play on that trailer, but I can't keep the image of that Sonic saying "Death to Videodrome! Long live the New Flesh!" in James Woods' voice out of my head.

Cinema in the American Bible Belt:

Latest 40K model: Still needs to be based, and there's some edge high-lighting and shading to be done (hence the mask being washed out) but overall I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out thus far.

As a Kickstarter backer I gave that Pathologic 2 demo a try, and while I enjoy the atmosphere and art direction, well, technically it's rough in spots, cutting it a little too close for comfort when it's set to release in about a month:

Visited the Museum of Death, which had an exhibit on serial killers. One of the displays had an interview form filled out by John Wayne Gacy, and some of the answers he gave caused the Twilight Zone theme to play in my head: Q: Who is your hero? A: Donald Trump. Q: What would you do if you were president for a day? A: I would make sure everybody had a job and a place to stay before helping out other countries. Keep in mind that Gacy was executed in 1994.

And this is coming out soon as well... about four and a half years after it had been announced: For those who haven't seen it yet:
