My Letterboxd review of OBEX 🧡 What a delightfully melancholy little "touch grass" fable that smushes together Eraserhead, The Legend of Zelda, and with wonderful appropriation, A Nightmare on Elm Street.
OBEX gave me the warm and fuzzies for the movies my friends and I made as teens. 🎥

A 3x3 grid of the cover art for the video games Tux and Fanny, The Lost Vikings, Flashback, Into the Breach, Doom II: Hell on Earth, Firewatch, Dead Cells, The Longest Journey and Chrono Trigger against a white background.
Go on then, I'll do the video game thing. There are lots that could go on a "favourites" list depending on exactly how I frame the criteria, but I've chosen the ones that I'm feeling the most *personal* attachment to when I rotate them in my mind.

A man and his dog: in @albertbirney.bsky.social's "lovely, warm piece of DIY cinema" OBEX (2025), an agoraphobic computer guy ventures out (and within) on a gamified, monochrome fantasy quest. Re-screens 4pm today at @glasgowfilmfest.bsky.social projectedfigures.com/2025/10/30/o...

"Obex mines the liminal nexus of cinematic visuals and video game narratives to provide a truly haunting playthrough."
OBEX is on UK/ROI VOD from Monday.

“I don’t want to romanticize the past but it’s hard not to love the idea of how these old trade mags were assembled.”
Retro publications like Happy Computer helped inspire @albertbirney.bsky.social's film OBEX. Enjoy these scans showing how it imagined a world fully immersed in personal computing.

The cover of ZEN AND SLOW GAMES is from Tux and Fanny, the game version of Albert Birney's brilliant animated movies, and one of my favourite recent reflective games.

#18 OBEX The Video Game
One of my favorite films of last year is getting a wide release and the director prepped a HARD video game tie in to promote the film. It fun despite the rage.
