I hope you enjoy it.
My husband only had to work a half day yesterday so we snuck out to see F4 while the kiddo was still at summer camp. Quite enjoyed it! The vibes were exactly right.

Went to see Superman yesterday, on the back of reading a couple of positive reviews and having enjoyed James Gunnās Guardians of the Galaxy films.
I came away thoroughly underwhelmed, which was a shame because it started well and I thought most of the cast did a really good job. But for the most part I felt the writing wasnāt great and I found the story less and less interesting as the film went on.

After discovering that the whole series is available at the Internet Archive, Iāll be watching Blott on the Landscape againā¦ forty years after the last time I watched it.

Weāre back to watching One Piece. Weāre in the 200s now. Theyāve just returned from Skypia and they have just started the Davy Back challenge oO.
Itās sooo ridiculous and I love it. I had forgotten why I was so excited about it when we first started.
Oh and weāre up to full format video now and higher resolution and really nice watercolor backgrounds and a new intro and ā¦ still no dub. Only Japanese with subtitles. But even we now understand when L/Ruffy calls āSanji! Meshi!ā

Rewatching Workaholics. Probably going to catch up on Star Trek Strange New Worlds next.

Lots of neat stuff in this!
(n.b. the title categorically does not describe what he did, but the reality is no less enjoyable, and itās only a small part of the video in any case.)

Interesting and certainly worth a watch but like their other productions very bitsy. You just want to know more about a game and it is off to the next one. Also, as with previous productions, I find their flying past boxes of games youāve never heard of and would much rather hear about than another Jason game a tad frustrating.
Still good interviews with a range of folk.

As someone who played some games before with a really small player base and a MMO years after its prime time (Dark Age of Camelot) I felt this was a very nice and wholesome video.

I once re-installed an old RTS game that Iād always been rubbish at and, after messing around for about a half hour, I decided on a whim to launch its multiplayer option ā mostly out of curiosity as to whether it even worked, so many years later. The number of PC games Iāve ever played in a multi-player mode is probably a single digit number, and at the time this did not rank among them.
To my surprise I was taken to a functional lobby for organising games, and to my even greater surprise someone else was there too. They asked if I wanted to play, and I said sure, but warned them that I wasnāt good, and had literally never played the game against a human. They responded with something like āyeah, right!ā ā they clearly didnāt believe it possible that they could be encountering a newbie at that point in the gameās lifespan ā and I was unable to convince them that I was telling the truth.
I imagine they continued to believe I was trying to pull a fast one on them right up to the moment that their initial assault force (probably a small scouting party) arrived at the meagre few constructions which constituted my ābaseā, promptly obliterated everything, and discovered that they had won the game.
I found the whole thing very funny! I can only assume that experienced players pretending to be newcomers is āa thingā.

Donāt know if anyone else has seen Polite Society (on Netflix until end of August), but itās a hoot, as in lots of fun, and while some of the London locations donāt make sense (as in go from there to there), the story is tight, and the characters lovely.

Been meaning to watch it and hadnāt realised it was on Netflix.
Just finished and it was great. And itās reminded me that I should carry on watching We Are Lady Parts (TV series by the same writer/director).

@yashima (or anyone else into anime) have you seen Made in Abyss? It starts out seeming like a fairly typical kidsā adventure story, but it goes to some really odd places.
Nope, itās not available on Crunchyroll where I live (MAL has it marked as some places may have it though)
Several years late, I just watched all of Slow Horses. Iāve read the books (up to number 5?) and 1) itās VERY faithful to the books and the casting is perfect, and 2) itās also just really solid tv.
Ironically itās when they donāt follow the books that the show is weakest - some odd choices in season 3, and they didnāt do my favourite scene from the entire book series in season 2 for some reason.
But generally Appletv+ score 10/10 again, just great stuff.

A few years ago I fired up Unreal Tournament (99, the original one). There were indeed people still playing. I think they had been playing continuously since the game was released.

I spent so much time on Unreal Tournament.

Bah, I logged on to my favourite CircleMUD from 1994 last night (somehow theyāve found a way to keep it operational! Itās the only reason I keep Putty installed on my computer) and was the only player. Thereās notices on the messageboard and updates on the clan league so there must be some activity.

I went back to Guild Wars 2 a while ago to do a nostalgia run, and they give achievements based on what you do in Guild Wars 1 (which I played at the time). So I installed GW1 as well, and there were still people playing it. (Thereās no way Iām doing enough to get a White Raven for my GW2 Ranger, though).

Went and saw The Naked Gun tonight. Wish I hadnāt been so tired, as there were times where I could not help but close my eyes, but overall it was a very funny and enjoyable film. It felt like a natural successor to the original films, doing itās own thing, but felt like jokes and ideas that could have been in the old ones.
If you are a fan of the originals, or just slapstick comedy in general, youāll have a good time with this.
