I have an unusual fascination by movie-tie in games and how they're created. I intend to celebrate them all. I play on real hardware with real discs, none of that emulation stuff (great for preservation though).

So I got off my butt to put together a fancier spreadsheet of my collection. We're currently searching for games released before 2005 to play while we await the 20th for Curse of the Were-Rabbit next month. Have a squizz and let me know if you want have any requests:

Well it's time to celebrate a 20th anniversary with a livestream. We have 4 anniversaries left to celebrate this year all [roughly] at the same time, We had a poll on which one to start with and the winner was Æon Flux.

The results are in! We'll be checking out Æon Flux first, which I'm keen to check out as I've never played or seen footage of the game before. (I have vague recollections of the movie and series it's based on)
Tune into the stream tomorrow (19/11/2025 @ 5pm GMT+10): www.youtube.com/live/WO3DMcO...

I'm quite a bit late on getting this one out, but better late than never??? I've been fiddling with some editing that will hopefully make the cleaning videos more interesting. Let me know what you think.

So I kind of forgot that Bluesky doesn't have polls. So I guess I'll try this awkward link to the Youtube poll.
We have four options for our next 20th Anniversary to celebrate, vote for which one you want to see first!

I had planned to stream The Matrix: Path of Neo this week, but my game freezes before it can load the main menu. Though my copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) works and shares its 20th anniversary with Path of Neo. However I'm not feeling well, so I won't be streaming this week...

In a few minutes I'll be going live over on Youtube to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of 007: From Russia with Love. Considering I almost didn't stop playing it when I was making sure my disc was working, I think I'm going to really vibe with this one.

Hey, if it helps, at least the PS3 and Nintendo Wii aren't turning 20 years old this year!

After what feels like a hecking long break from streaming, somehow I have returned. However I'm somewhat behind on a bunch of 20th anniversaries. So plenty of catching up to do, starting with Chicken Little (released Oct 18th 2005).

My book, Aliens: The Video Games, goes beyond officially licensed titles, including fan games, unofficial tie-ins and, hmm, inspired experiences, from the 20th and 21st centuries.
Published next year. Pre-orders, soon.

Life may have gotten in the way a bit of my ability to stream the past few weeks, but I've not been entirely idle either. Figured I'd show off some acquisitions I've made during my break.

No streams again this week. PAX Aus snuck up on me, and I will be travelling to it later in the week. Figured I would push the streams back another week. The upside though is that I've invested in some recording equipment so I can make a video about all the cool people and their cool stuff.

I was supposed start up the streams again last week, but life uhh found a way... to get in the way. Anyhoo I figured it was high time I stepped out into other platforms for movie tie-ins. So this week we're going back to the PS1 with Alien Trilogy. (30/09 5pm GMT+10)

It's time to figure out which thing is The Thing in The Thing (2002), a video game sequel to The Thing (1982), not to be confused with The Thing (2011)... Oh boy that's a lot of things. We're playing the PS2 version rather than the recent remaster.
