Just a cat in a human suit. The death of print magazines put me on retirement. Sometimes I still get to write words.

"Aren't you, *the* Matthew Arcilla?" "I used to be."
I've met a few who would actually totally be, "maybe I should be the one out there getting all the attention, a person with zero media training and not much of a media presence." They absolutely see actors as their enemies in the attention economy. I understand you jest, but some people are unreal.

Haha, I don't mean to be needlessly snide about it. It's just that I don't play Overwatch very often, once or twice a year? Last time was 2022 and match times seemed fine back then. I re-installed it eight hours ago and I haven't gotten a single match! Maybe the servers hate SEA or me, personally.

Wow, at the end of the lecture you could still be waiting for a match!

Have you considered a fourteenth playthrough of Baldur's Gate 2?

Me, reviewing this in 2020: "What if it was just an honest misunderstanding?"

Yes, yes...! Put "Penguin Random House" or "Hachette Book Group" on the upper right corner opposite the big red N.

Was in book retail, publishing and purchasing a decade ago. My understanding is that a Netflix deal requires they be printed. It used to be a sticker, but the Big Red N now has clout equal to ye olde movie studio, which also required "now a Universal Motion Picture," to be printed not stickered.

If I had a nickel for every time someone I know played Fran Bow this week, I'd have two nickels but still it's weird that it happened twice.

Once again, tall person energy. You cannot tell me that is a person of less than 173 cm.

Absolutely. I don't think NY Post should profit from their cover becoming a collectible. People should bootleg that thing as a point of sheer ridicule for that rag.

I genuinely love and respect Del Toro as a thinker and lover of films but I think the reverence accorded to him overlooks the fact that he made Nightmare Alley. :P

Having issues with login, two-factor authorization and security, looks like this ain't happening.
