Hearing a bloke explain to a table of other blokes in real detail how IMAX films can't be longer than three hours for technical reasons. Is this what listening to my podcast is like?

He's right. But even if Feige made Blade, it would've been rubbish. It would've released in 2023 and got 68% on Rotten Tomatoes (following rave tweets from some influencers you've never heard of at the premiere). It would've had Kang in the post-credits and made $352 million on a $250 million budget

Nothing is more incriminating in my inbox than the volume of opened emails I have from the Popeye's chicken corporation.

Had a busy work day planned, but I see now that Ant and Dec have uploaded a comprehensive archive of SM:TV Live clips, including the Wonky Donkey segment where Dec has a meltdown. 🤌

New old Halo finished. It was fine. Competing with the Master Chief Collection, one of the best compilations of all time, is tough. I reckon the youngs who play this will be like, 'why did they make unironic Helldivers?'

Ah, reached the point in the day where the fan is simply blowing 32 degree air back at me.

Most of the art lift on Halo doesn't massive elevate it, to me, because I think the bones of the art direction were so well calibrated to the original Xbox. That said, the Keyes level looks especially lovely. Can't wait to see what his evil Flood head looks like.

I think I hate The Truth and Reconciliation level of Halo. Maybe I always hated it and was in denial (those invisible lads with the energy swords are pretty memorable though).

Unemployment life is so good man. Ate three cherry bakewells and played two hours of Metal Gear Solid 2 today.

Wait until you hear Emily Wilson's takedown of Avengers: Doomsday.

Day one of unemployment, two naps. It's everything I dreamed it could be.

I genuinely thought they were going to stretch Alicent being stuck in a dark hallway for three whole episodes of House of the Dragon. Relieved, honestly.

Attempt number three to finally crack this one.

Station Eleven is probably the defining bit of COVID media for me. I watched episode one with a friend who went 'fuck this!' about three months after the last lockdown ended.

Damn, I should lose my job more often. It's like attending your own funeral (positive).

Yesterday was sadly my last at Bethesda amid the current changes – cheers to all the journos and creators I worked with there, it was good while it lasted. Gonna do freelance for a bit as I figure out the next thing. Press can ping my old ZeniMax contractor email for an updated contact.
