A quick reminder that the Metroid Prime series has some of *the* great level/area transition screens and sequences. 🫡

Cracked open the Prime 4 extra gear the other day. The big mouse mat is actually really nice. Kinda wish there was a CD of the OST though. 🥲

Perfect Dark (N64) (2000)

1/2
Joanna Dark, a special agent fighting alien conspiracies and corporate espionage with her short red hair, looking all posh with her little black earrings, currently wearing a puffy green jacket with rolled up sleeves. She's peaking behind a wall while holding her gun up (with a scope that's bigger than the gun itself) at the ready, looking into a dingy brown-green dumpster alley obstructed by a chainlink fence. I've honestly no idea what I was thinking when I was taking this screenshot, it looks like the beginning of a sewer level, but I'm lazy to take more screenshots now. A rainy cyberpunk night city with lots of gray concrete buildings and neon lights, with a futuristic cop hovercar parked nearby and a different vehicle a bit further, a limo with a peculiar design that kinda looks like Darth Vader's helmet mask thing, so I can imagine DJ Darth riding in them bling bling wheels. Trent Easton, one of the bad guys (obviously), wearing a snazzy red suit and black shirt and tie with the face texture of a very young John Travolta, looking very disappointed as he's exiting a door, possibly the bathroom and not being happy with his poop. A fancy, spacious office in the Lucerne Tower skyscraper, the HQ of the shady dataDyne corporation. The office has an almost Mayan temple design with slanted stone walls with ornaments on the sides, a large window looking at the cityscape and a desk resembling a slab for human sacrifices with a little blue computer display on top of it. As you're sent to stealthily infiltrate the building, your hovercopter loudly whooshes near the window, scaring the bejeezus out of an employee in a red dress. So far so good.

My brother (four years younger) is 40 today. My own 40th never made me feel any older but there’s something about my younger brother being 40 actual years old that makes me want to crumble to dust. 😅
