You little perv you.... Edit: speaking of medical checks, I usually get checked twice a year, but the blood test etc. only once a year. I get a prefilled form (a requisition) from the doctor and take it to a lab of my own choosing at a time that suits me, so not too bad really. Crossing fingers and knock on wood, the results the last 6 years have been that of a healthy young man (despite me being anything but)

Dusted off the original Carmageddon and gave it a spin. I had completely forgotten how awesome it is to run over pedestrians That’s a game I would love to see a remake off, so it can run without DosBox

I probably had a bit of a crush on her when I was a young teenager in the 80's.. Old recording, not best recording quality sadly...

It doesn't help that the lore seems to have two conflicting narratives around humanity's downfall before the events in 30k. One version it was the Eldar created warp storms (as their excesses grew out of bounds) and in a different version it was humanity's hubris fiddling with technologies that shouldn't have been invented that lead to them imploding

Wasn't that what led to the end of "The Dark Age of Technology" first time around? Effectively relegating humanity to isolated clusters among the stars (because the Eldar at the time decided to make a mess of warp travel until the birth of Slaanesh) edit: Not aided by the fact, that the weaponry back then was much more destructive than what is currently available to humanity

Not a movie per se, but about a movie. How to make a movie on a shoe string budget (and what little budget you had was donated by the rock bands of the time)...

I went shopping for groceries the other day and saw this one in the window of a store while walking by. How could I possibly not buy a bottle of vodka in such a bottle??? It's a nice vodka, made in Canada. But lets be real, the bottle was it's selling point

Nanowar of Steel... completely not inspired by Iron Maiden

I probably beat you to it, but it's all out of my hands at the moment

I sometimes come across these as recommended videos. I think they've done a good job at fixing the speed, frame rate and colorize some of these old clips from the late 1800's and early 1900's... A personal favourite of mine, the last known footage of the Bismarck (movie shot from the perspective of the accompanying Prinz Eugen)

Those look awesome! Waiting for the new Skaven models to be released before spending too much work on my 20 year old plastic rank and file rats (all my character and elite rats are metal miniatures)

How to summarize 40 years of video gaming in a single blog post...

While I was trying to make up my mind, a character caught my attention and I watched "Gushing over Magical Girls".... all I can say is No, not going to post clips from it, but dang it was funny (and Utenas VA was simply awesome)!

With Frieren being history now (sob) and no announcement of a season 2 (which would probably take another 3 years to make) and Metallic Rouge ending too, with episode 13, I returned to my favourite slime (Diablo is just bad ass)

You gave it a try

Makes you wonder how it ended up with the nick name, Side Quest - the Anime

Maybe a rabies variant? Instead of resenting water, you started resenting food? Please tell if the urge to bite people suddenly comes over you! edit: Iirc, the rabies symptom is called hydrophobia, no idea what the food equivalent would be

In a slightly similar boat... waiting for the GotY version before buying it

I suspect you know the answer to your own question, if you have to be honest about it. Not sure why you need other people to bring up "confirmation bias"? Personally, I don't trust governments much, but I'll take the Australian governments words for it when they tell that Australian citizens were killed in Gaza when IDF airstrikes deliberately targeted international aid workers to chase them out... Those same attacks on aid convoys has led to a political **** storm in the UK and the US as their citizens were also killed by the IDF It was so bad Biden got on the phone with Netanyahu and made ultimatums... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68737846

Just a suggestion, the first 4 episodes were released together as a "prologue" to kick the season off, introduce characters and the basics of the world. The story doesn't really start until episode 5 with a declared goal... Edit: Just some amusing trivia, it took Madhouse 3 years to make the anime and in some instances elaborated considerably on the Manga, like the "eat your heart out Disney" dance sequence, which was a 1 minute long scene with custom written score and real dancers doing motion capture to be hand animated, was a single panel in the manga. A fight towards the end was two panels in the manga and Madhouse made it a 3 episode fight, seriously flexing in the animation and choreography department while doing so. Edit2: I'm obviously biased as I liked the show very much, even if it took me a few episodes to get into it.

We *are* known as the “forgotten generation” after all… except when it’s time for tax returns

You have to have been around for a while to get this one (Office 97) and it's probably more sad than funny, but I thought it was very well done

In Brisbane, the F-18 Super Hornets and C-17 Globemasters still buzz the buildings in the CBD every year during the "River Fire" festival... I never get tired of seeing it up close. Something about seeing those jets at such low altitude cruising through the city (following the path of the river) and then pull up just before the bridge

As someone who has worked fully remote since Covid, I can relate

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out Feeling sort of sad and empty with no more "Frieren Fridays" (and no word on a season two either at the time writing) Otherwise just following Metallic Rouge (the latter not being a typo) which is up to episode 12. I did see that Tensei Nikki (that time I got reincarnated as a slime) has a third season on the way, so I do have a bit to look forward to (and possibly get disappointed in)
