Just given the Tomb Raider 1-3 remasters a go. It's a nice graphical upgrade - faithful to the original, looking like how I remember it rather than what it was actually like. The only other notable change is the addition of a modern control system, which sadly is unusable in its current state, as it...

I never did finish the second season of Loki. Maybe I ought to.

I never started it and had completely forgotten it existed, which is a shame given that I liked the first season.

I think on a better day I might have been more receptive to parts of it and maybe given it a 5/10, but its high positive tone wasn't enough for me to overlook its more glaring flaws. In retrospect, it was Rambeau that irked me most: First, the MCU doesn't seem to have any real clue what her powers a...

The Marvels There are many points at which the MCU arguably jumped the shark, but just in case there was any doubt, The Marvels does a backflip over a line of sharks off the back of another shark. I’ve possibly watched it in the wrong mindset, as I’ve had a couple of intensely stressful weeks at wo...

Backseat amateur doctors whose snake oil solution for every fucking malady out there is to go for a walk. Walking is good, yes. It is not a substitute for actual medical anaylsis and treatment. These are the sort of people who think saying "touch grass" means they've won an argument.

Noooo!

He finally pushed too many pencils.

At the very least, he needs to bring Bono with him. Whenever I hear Leclerc's or Sainz's race engineers, it's like they've got through to an automated AI support line.

If memory serves, there are significant engine changes coming in 2026, and although strictly speaking teams aren't allowed to start work on the 2026 car until 2025, I can absolutely imagine Ferrari having something quietly in the works that they've shown to Hamilton. It was Mercedes' engine plans th...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/68163799 Looks like it's for real this time. :o Sources have told BBC Sport that all Mercedes team members have been called to a team briefing with boss Toto Wolff and technical director James Allison at 14:00 GMT on Thursday. This is likely to be to announce Ham...

It'd be nice to have someone who can finish last each month instead of me.

John Wick 2 I'm very late to the party with John Wick, having only watched the first film last year. I'm not sure what I expected from the second film, but it was essentially the first film again. Keanu goes shopping; kills everyone. The end. Looking forward to the third. 6/10 Tucker and Dale vs Ev...

This made me chuckle, from the sheer audacity of it. My niece (14) was briefly excited about the possibility of a school trip to Costa Rica, which had been proposed in a presentation to the students by some starter business. I get the impression it had an insipid "Hey gang!" energy to it. Naturally ...

Haha, mine didn't play out quite like that (the character that ran away in yours decided to make an ill-fated last stand against me), but pretty similar. I let them go in the hope that they'll come back at some later date for a more climatic stand-off, where perhaps I'll be able to do some more glo...

I'm about halfway through act 2 on my Dark Urge run and while I was prepared for things to get unhinged, I wasn't quite prepared for the complete derailment it's just led me down. :lol: Not sure if these are warlock-specific spoilers, but I'm both delighted and horrified at the results. I entered ac...
