Clocking in for a 9-5 horror marathon - featuring Hellraiser, Friday Part 3 in 3D, Phantasm, and a "mystery nerve shredder".

Should be one hell of a time!

Already have this on Steam and PS5, but yeah I will absolutely be triple dipping on this for Switch 2.

Especially if there's a physical copy for it (though I'll still buy it regardless).
Not even the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 are safe from SHODAN, with the critically acclaimed System Shock remake COMING SOON to both platforms! 🤖

It's a bit of a Nine Inch Nails Wednesday here, somewhat unintentionally.

Got the Tron Legacy/Ares double feature in IMAX tonight, and secured pit tickets for the Peel It Back stop in St. Louis!

Definitely can't complain.

Local V-Stock coming in clutch. Glad I don't have to wait on Amazon to potentially fuck up - especially since the only one that had a shipping date attached to it was the original.

Don't let the unexpected weirdness of the Virtual Boy technically coming back distract you from Crimson Butterfly getting a remake ...

Genuinely haven't been that excited at an announcement in a bit, especially since I was just expecting a port.

I did not have Virtual Boy on my Bingo, not even ironically.

Myst (1993). I once got stuck at the top of tree elevator and had to restart the game.

Atari and Nightdive (and Digital Eclipse too), you spoil us. The kings of modern remasters, for sure.

Wonderful to see Outlaws return.
Outlaws remaster from Nightdive Studios confirmed

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

Definitely an... interesting experience for a kid in third grade.

💥Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is in production! 💥

It presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077— a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.

❓When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter? 👀

this is one of the things i miss the most being single. i deeply miss having a partner who can go off passionately about some random topic i know jack shit about and just let me listen.

this ability is actually a hard requirement for me.
off-brand post but did you ever watch your partner talk about a special subject you know nothing about and find them insanely attractive? Like god yes baby tell me more about Warhammer lore I’m getting like 50% of it but I love the way those cheekbones look when you smile

I'm gonna have to cheat here and give my top five, and specifically limit it to non-2025 releases.

-Enter the Void (2009)
-Cloak & Dagger (1984)
-On the Silver Globe (1988)
-The End of Evangelion (1997)
-Collateral (2004)

We're halfway through the year, so we're wondering, what is the best film you've seen in 2025?

Doesn't have to have been released this year, just a film that you saw for the first time in 2025 that you loved.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel)

Lighting is part of narrative and its source does not need to be diegetic.

Gotta love when the physical media hauls show up on the same day. Makes choosing where to start the most difficult.

Though Enter the Void is probably the highest on that list...

Delta Green. Easily my go-to.

Helps that I'm running a group (with both DG first timers and TTRPG first timers) through a campaign that leads into Impossible Landscapes.

I did not have an E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy sequel on my bingo card for the year ...

Not that I'm complaining. Not one bit.
After several years of collaboration with French publisher @focus-entmt.com, we're very excited to announce that our studio is independant, once again!

We will reveal our next #game very soon, but for now enjoy this #teaser, and join our discord server!
