Overall I liked this series even though it’s been kind of hard to follow at times. I hope they do a third one.

Movies I watched during paternity leave We had a baby, and babies sleep a lot. So we watched a lot of movies. (Ongoing, January-April 2026)

Our baby boy really loves to nap on our chests, which means we can’t often do a heck of a lot.

But we CAN watch movies, and so, with one week left of my 12-week paternity leave, I’ve watched 70 movies. Here they are: boxd.it/Sfyiq

things that make me say hell yeah

This may be my GOTY right now. Man. This is fantastic.

Loving Retro Rewind so far. I go to @moviemadness.org at least once a week, so it's really cool to pretend like I own the place.

markdelaney’s profile markdelaney uses Letterboxd to share film reviews and lists. 753 films watched. Favorites: Scream (1996), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Perfect Days (2023), I Saw the TV Glow (2024). Bio: GameSpot’s horror guy, usually.

Periodic reminder that I love Letterboxd, and if you’re using the platform a lot like me, I’d love to creep your watchlist and review scores. boxd.it/aA7G7

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Rewatching Phantasm, which used to scare me as a kid. Hmm.

Saw someone say this so eloquently weeks ago and I’ve been dwelling on it ever since:

In the US, we always have the money to do things TO people, never FOR people.

I’ve watched three horror movies based on games so far in 2026.

Return to Silent Hill was remarkably bad.

Exit 8 was pretty good.

The Mortuary Assistant was janky but fun.

Not exactly an adaptation, but I’m really looking forward to Backrooms next month.

Haha, I’m back from dad leave in two weeks and fully prepared to request the Mixtape review.

Four 2026 games I’m excited about:

Mixtape
Control Resonant
Ontos
Halloween

Triple-I Initiative Showcase 2026: Castlevania, Dead As Disco, And Every Game Shown From the comeback of a fan-favorite series to a unique battle royale typing game, here’s a rundown of everything featured at the third Triple-I Showcase.

Tons of exciting stuff in here

Down by 10, under 5 minutes to play.

I claw back to tie the game with less than 30 seconds left.

He has no timeouts, but manages to get it nearly to the 50–enough for Cam Little to boot one.

He spikes it with 1 second left(!!!)

Then this happens. My most dramatic league win ever, no doubt.

Much of the ’vegan food is expensive’ narrative is primarily centered around plant-based meat replacements. While even that argument would vanish if animal ag subsidies disappeared, the least expensive food in the grocery store is vegan. Pasta, rice, beans, the produce aisle, the list goes on and on

Is this Retro Rewind or another like it? Been dying to get one of these. I still go to the video store once or twice a week here in Portland.

One of the most incredible things about this media environment is I don’t believe the Trump supporters I know are even aware of what he’s up to this week.

They get all their news from Facebook, which hides this shit behind goofy memes that thank him for “fixing the economy.”

This guy is so beyond unfit for his job. I wouldn’t let him handle opening a loaf of bread.

I don’t jump into those quote-posts that ask for unpopular opinions. As an atheist vegan straight-edge Patriots fan, all of my opinions are unpopular.

2026 marks 20 years of seeing Anthony Green shows. I’ve seen him something like 50 or 60 times in those two decades.

38 times with Circa Survive, 15ish solo shows, plus five with Sounds and three with Dunes. Grateful he’s still doing it and I can still be there.

After GTA 6, what’s the next biggest game that’s already been announced?

I’m thinking it’s Elder Scrolls 6, but what might I be forgetting?
