It's the end of 2024 and here's every game I finished this year (plus TCG pocket) As usual the vast majority of these are good games but I did get through 34 so the lower end of the list is a little weaker

Big 🧵 with some thoughts about each game

List season! Here's all the games I completed in 2023. As per usual these are games I finished for the first time this year, top 3 are a hard lock, beyond that they're a bit more fluid in where they lie. Last is very last.

Big 🧵 incoming

Just realised I should probably drop this here

Merry Christmas! 🎄

🎃 Happy #Halloween 🎃

Always wanted to make a split person costume, this year gave me the perfect excuse!

Last year when I thought it would be a great idea to be the final form of the monster from Nope (with tiny Lego Daniel Kaluuya) and I discovered that criminally few people have seen that movie, and my ambition may have slightly outweighed my ability😅

This one was completely wasted on the pandemic

I guess there's some irony that it was stopped by a virus

So, admittedly another relatively low effort one, but sometimes you just want to be Keanu Reeves

Attack Titan, or angry Noel Fielding? He does loves them cakes, and I loves me a paper mache mask

Jareth the Goblin King swaggers in, including classy shot from that years Glastonbury festival holding a can of cider.

Only photos from the waist up, for reasons... 👀

Bouncing back to "probably too high effort", witness a Nux!

Man, how good is Fury Road

So a bit of a lower effort one, from what I remember I had no plans for Halloween, then last minute some folks decided to go out and I basically had to put this together on the day.

Finding a Santa hat at the end of October was surprisingly tricky

Great Scott, it's Marty McFly Jr!

What I like about this is I made the hoverboard out of cardboard and paper, based on stills from the film, then a few years later my brother bought me the replica and I was surprised as to how close they matched up.

Bit of a cheat here, as this wasn't for Halloween, but went through the full head cast, sculpt, latex process to make this and am very happy with how it turned out.

Two Icons meet, Hellboy is clearly thrilled!

This was really run to make, despite finding pink fur everywhere for weeks after, and really reignited my love of making costumes by hand (probably putting far too much effort into😅) that my mum instilled in me

🎃Anime time skip! 🎃

After the undeniable success of my Baraka costume, I stepped away from #Halloween, but was called out of retirement over a decade later to do something no one had dared to attempt before: The #Joker from #TheDarkKnight #original 🃏

First year of Secondary School I dressed up as Baraka from #MortalKombat for #Halloween. Unfortunately I can find no photos of this, so you'll have to rely on this completely accurate artist's impression.

I don't seem to have any pics of me in costume for this, but here is the amazing #SonicTheHedegehog head my mum and I made when was 11.

Unfortunately, I destroyed and burnt it as an angsty teen, so this is poorly lit photo is all that remains

Now this may look like my first intentionally scary Halloween costume, but of course this wasn't any old Grim Reaper, but specifically the one from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey 💀

Final cameo from my brother as Splinter with my Michelangelo from #TMNT 🐀🐢

I like this one as I have very little art from when I was a kid so its fun to see this wall of weird stuff we painted.

Another of my brother and me as Dennis the Menace and Roger the Dodger from the Beano. From what I remember our mum knitted those tops for us.

Good chance folks don't know who they are so searched out an image for reference.

New episode of LEGO City - No Limits!

This was was especially fun for me, as I was given the big set piece where Wanda Fights the drones, and was largely allowed to choreograph the action. Hope you enjoy!

🎃 Genuinely terrifying, look at that smile, he will eat your soul! 🤡

Vaguest of vague memories of this, looking at the braces is triggering some sort of Ratatouille moment though.
