Steph is a treasure - I don't know how I got lucky enough for someone like that to read my hack prose, but sometimes it happens 🙂 She's got a review of my latest up!

Why You Liked ... Dispatch YouTube video by Richard Parry

Most games think agency = story (this misunderstands the assignment 🤣).

Every so often, a game groks the medium so well it uses your own expectations to emotionally destroy you. #BioShock did it in 2007. #Dispatch just did it again.

I humbly present what's likely my GOTY: youtu.be/TxzMKyJshpc

The Well of Lethe: 7 Miss the start?

Chapter 7 of my sci-fi serial is up 📚💙
1. Shit gets real.
2. Korvus uses a black hole as a problem solver.

GamesRadar's giving away M3GAN 2.0 on Blu-ray (UK only, curses). Can't enter myself, but I dug this sequel. If you want to know why it's worth owning, here's my take: youtu.be/QmSjEXZENEQ

UK residents, behold the breadcrumbs below to enter 🙂

Why You Liked ... KPop Demon Hunters YouTube video by Richard Parry

Jem and the Holograms walked so #KPopDemonHunters could run. My latest why-it's-awesome review:

Why You Liked ... Eenie Meanie YouTube video by Richard Parry

You know being a #SamaraWeaving fan: heroin highs like #ReadyOrNot, then... others. I call it #TheSamaraWeavingEffect. My new video on #EenieMeanie shows it's her pivot to the A-list through a wild Heist of Consequences™.

Why You Liked … King Arthur: Legend of the Sword YouTube video by Richard Parry

Guy Ritchie's King Arthur is the gangster-legend mashup you didn't know you needed. Charlie Hunnam's brothel-raised brawler deserved those 6 sequels Warner Bros promised (and spectacularly fumbled).

I will die on this hill. 🗡️

Why You Liked ... Novocaine YouTube video by Richard Parry

Kick-Ass meets John Wick to save the girl. Does it work?

Hell yeah it does: youtu.be/eBvOn_zq9lI

Sometimes wisdom can be found in the smallest of places. Fortune cookie knows all.

COVER REVEAL & ARC SIGN-UPS: The Fury of the Betrayed Sup. Do you know what's happening on November 1st?

ARCs for book 3 📚💙 are rampaging toward your ereader! Or, kinda - they're hitting 1st October, notification / sign up details here and catch-up review copies for books 1 & 2 ICYMI:

Honestly it was @cassiehart.bsky.social who helped me realise we’re harder on ourselves than readers are. Also, they find shit we never would 🤣

4theWriters: How to Remix Reality (aka A Guide to Cultural Fusion in Storytelling) YouTube video by Richard Parry

My new video for writers & GMs is a guide to remixing reality (aka cultural fusion). I give you a 3-step framework for unique world-building, using Avatar, Cowboy Bebop, and Thundercats as examples... and explain my kung fu werewolves: youtu.be/5PrlHzdjBr4

Why You Liked ... The Monkey YouTube video by Richard Parry

My deep-dive on #TheMonkey is up! It's a bloody good time starring #TheoJames as both a hero and his dickhead-edition twin. Come for the gory kills, stay for the analysis of why it's so outstanding. Full thoughts here: youtu.be/LazYLBzjBf8

Love this review!! Steph gets me.

Thank you! We haven't even met the aliens yet 🤣

🔥 The Undefeated Throne is unleashed.

They survived Book 1, but that was amateur hour.

More monsters, sarcasm, and bad calls from your favourite dysfunctional found family.

💙📚 Read: www.books2read.com/TheUndefeate...

Go on. The apocalypse won't start itself.

The Well of Lethe: 1 Prologue

Last time Warden Mercer saw a Corrector, his wife died… and one just arrived on his acid-drenched prison colony. The killing is about to begin.

Gritty, boots-on-the-ground sci-fi for fans of Aliens & Warhammer 40k 📚💙 #SciFi #MilitarySciFi #Writing

Holy moly but the #BurgerWellington #VWOAP entry from Crab Shack was something else. I didn't think science had advanced to the levels required by a fondue burger, but here we are.

There's no 🍌 for scale but this is about the size of a five year old's head.

I'm making the case for M3GAN 2.0, a criminally underrated action-comedy that's way smarter and funnier than the original. In my new video, I break down why this self-aware fun machine is the perfect takedown of Big Tech and our AI anxieties.

Why You Like ... Really Dope Names YouTube video by Richard Parry

Ship names determine if an Alien movie is a masterpiece or a mess.

Nostromo (greed) = cyberpunk classic.
Prometheus (myth) = giant donut slasher flick.

My full theory on this litmus test is in my new video. Tell me I'm wrong.

#alien #aliens #romulus #alienearth

My new video is an ode to the Loveable Lunkhead (the hero who does the right thing in the absolute wrongest way).

Using Lockout, Heads of State, & Army of the Dead, I break down why these chaotic characters make B-movies so great: youtu.be/Ibssg1Hnqd4

Staring at a blank page? 😵‍💫 My friend Cassie dragged me into a video where we plotted an 📚💙 epic novel in 30 mins with dice!

Explosions & juicy plots guaranteed.

If you're tired of boring outlines, this is for you. Watch the magic happen: youtu.be/K9kGHtJyXwQ

That 5.9 Russo Bros movie #TheElectricState isn't a flop, it's a documentary about the #AIslop apocalypse and us being the baddies. It's smarter than you think. My deep dive explains why it's essential viewing for our tech future.

youtu.be/c7AwvpxSQko

Plot twist: I accidentally wrote a how-to guide instead of my next thriller.

It involves dice, slaying writer's block, and a statistical argument about Stephen King (don't worry, I'm not insane).

📚💙 Come see the glorious mess I've made: rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/plot-twist...

Why You Liked ... Ballerina YouTube video by Richard Parry

Keanu's knees have officially filed for divorce from the John Wick franchise. So who carries the torch? Ana de Armas, and she doesn't just carry it. She uses it as a weapon.

My full review on why this is the Wick movie we needed is up now: youtu.be/OaMXz8IuXPI

Would you reconnect thru:
A) Phone call.
B) A beer.
C) Avenging a federal agent by dismantling a human trafficking ring.

The Wolff brothers go with C.

#TheAccountant2 masterfully uses its action to show why sometimes "I love you" sounds a lot like the safety clicking off: youtu.be/X4rBUEP-dSE

In a triumph for justice, I'm opening up ARCs for book two, The Undefeated Throne 📚💙

For people who missed book 1, I've re-opened ARCs for that so you can catch up ICYMI.

rollfornarrative.parrydox.com/p/cover-reve... to get on that cool kids club.

Netflix's Nimona almost died when Disney axed it at 70% done. What survived? A pink shapeshifter masterpiece about radical acceptance that hits harder than any lecture on othering.

Chloë Grace Moretz + Riz Ahmed = vocal perfection. Worth your subscription alone.

Archive (2020) had everything for sci-fi greatness: stunning visuals, brilliant performances, mind-bending AI ethics.

Then "it was all a dream" 🤖💔

90 mins of masterful storytelling destroyed by cinema's most insulting trope. Could've been a classic.
