My one and only time in the e numbers, was thrilling, but still so far off ante 16

19/ I enjoyed Jedi Survivor a lot in the moment, story was a little weak (Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal) and honestly don't recall a huge amount about specifics, but there was a character called Cleland Cudds who swings around like Spidey, so extra points there

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

#SpiderMan2 is still a lot of fun, but the story is pretty stupid (the first game elicited genuine tears from me, so that was going to be tough to beat) Combat also feels a little looser this time around.
Played almost the whole thing with the ATSV framerate cos I'm a sicko

#FinalyFantasyXVI just really stuck with me, occasionally just had to stop and take in the gorgeous landscapes. Really good music that toyed with established melodies. Definitely not perfect, dropping a ton of side fetch quests just before the endgame wasn't my favourite.

#TheTalosPrinciple2 is excellent and there was a point I thought it wound sneak into my no2 spot, but I found the puzzles in the 2nd half of the game lost their challenge, and nothing compared with *spoilers* defying Elohim and climbing the tower in the first game

#SuperMarioBrosWonder is an absolute delight from beginning to end, often playing with a big goofy grin on my face. Maybe a bit lacking in the boos fights, and some worlds just ending, but these are minor quibbles.
Ended playing mostly as Daisy, she has the best Wowie Zowie!

#BaldursGate3 is an easy GOTY for me. I'm the person who didn't think it was my thing, then absolutely loved it. No prior D&D experience, so prob played it super basic, but that's what 2nd playthroughs are for. Highlight was the House of Hope.

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.

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😅

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.

Not long after someone showed me this illustration, and it feels like a caricature of me as McFly. I can't find who the original artist is to credit them

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.
