Last Year at Marienbad
A still from the 1961 film “Last year at Marienbad”. A black and white panoramic shot of a perfectly manicured garden with a pavement centred and leading to water features that disappear to the horizon, flanked by trees. A woman with short, dark hair, dressed in a black evening gown has her back to us, while a middle-aged man in a dinner suit reclines against a balustrade and watches her with crossed arms.

A sign on an as yet unidentified machine in the Brewdog Pub just off Charing Cross Road in central London that reads, “ Caution: Dangerous Machine”. Staff are avoiding it.

Happy to bore people as much about this as I am about Xenogears on PS1. Far and away my favorite game of that generation.

And if it's something "the gang" worked on (EMEA Xbox ATG), then I'd probably have to add this one that Martin Fuller (@MartinJIFuller in "the other place") chipped in on to good effect...

Well, if it's things I actually, honestly wrote code for, it'd probably be these:

If it’s any consolation for Rita, our Olive was forced to wear this unseemly outfit after her operations almost exactly a year ago:
A furry dachshund cross wearing a fetching burgundy one piece (following surgery) and the “cone of shame” while lying on a beige carpet near a crimson pillow.

Nothing better than taking the Shinkansen on a sunny day #新幹線

Not joking, but how does this even manage to stand?
I guess Douglas Adams would have said, “Through the power of art”.
That being said, I did appreciate the guidance of, “The twintails of the Machine Goddess are sharp and unrelenting; take care lest they pierce you, friend” #初音ミク #hatsunemiku
