Can’t wait to see what comes out next!

The fact that Lucasfilm Games entrusted it to the makers of the most recent ‘Wolfenstein’ games was a wise decision. You can see the DNA of that game and ‘Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay’ in Indy. It’s absolutely worth playing and probably worth watching someone play!

‘Indiana Jones & The Great Circle’ is probably the best Indy movie never made. Certainly better than the two 21st century sequels and on par with classic point-and-click games like ‘The Fate Of Atlantis’. The careful exploration and swashbuckling fighting elevates the game beyond what it should be.

You’re so welcome! Can’t wait for the next one!

I finally have few minutes to start this one.

There’s always something so charming about the games from @firemaplegames.bsky.social. The art style and simple gameplay belie captivating stories and puzzles that are perfect for sitting in with my iPad on a cold winters day.

Just finished my second play through of ‘Chants of Sennaar’, an absolutely enchanting and thought-provoking game. The art style is utterly beautiful and the gameplay, minus a few unnecessary stealth parts, is a game about understanding what people have in common. An absolute 9/10 for me.

Kitty cat!!!!

Controversial film opinion; if a focus puller is on a low-to-medium budget film talk to the director about focus. You should know the script and know the power within the scene.

14 years is a hell of a time to focus pull. Still hanging on by my fingernails for ten years myself.

4/4: The Bionicle Mata Nui Online game. This ancient flash game from 2001 redefined what I thought I could play on a web browser. Yes, it was made to promote a Lego toy line but the visuals and music completely blew me away when I was younger.

3/4: Catadioptric lenses. I learned that these lenses existed a few years ago and I’ve always wanted to know how a lens that has both mirrors and lenses in it works. How does it fit 1000mm into a small lens and how on earth do you not see the middle of it in the image?

2/4: The sodium vapor (vapour?) process. This is how they got those amazing VFX mattes in ‘Mary Poppins’ and we’ve all seen that Corridor Crew video but there’s so much more I want to know? How did they track them in camera? Why is it a legend that we somehow can’t make another prism?

My current December nerdy obsessions: a thread 1/4

Sometimes being an adult means doing your taxes, other times it’s having a Terry’s chocolate orange for lunch.

Watched this live and was in the edge of my seat!
