Halo: Campaign Evolved has been announced for 2026.

A Halo: CE remake with new levels, cutscenes, and re-recorded dialogue. I do appreciate them keeping the couch co-op. Curious to see more gameplay and information in the coming months. This will be the most accessible Halo title to date.

Alien: Earth pays homage to what made the franchise special through its aesthetic choices and atmosphere. Despite some narrative choices I wasn't a fan of, this show is worth the time of returning and new fans of all things Alien!

This is my story for the @fbczine.bsky.social volume 3! This takes place directly after A Man of His Word which I published in last year's zine. Trench and Darling both have different ideas on what a scary story entails.

I don't hate the new Seattle Kraken jersey, but I really think the anchor logo would stand out more for their alternate jersey. The Home jersey already looks great with the S logo. Something different with their alternate would have been more iconic.

@wondrouswendy.bsky.social and I Peaked. We got the Bing-Bong, capybaras, and no one unconscious achievement all in one run! I think we were robbed on the no heat on Mesa front... but oh well, next time!

I will NOT get used it to. Such a downgrade. Her hair and that circlet look awful. Her original outfit and the updates they gave to her armor already were fine.

My sticker shop is currently open with a variety of Alan Wake, Control, and other fandom stickers! There's something a little fishy about one of them, if you catch my drift! 😉

Touch Within the Abyss published by @tokyopop.bsky.social features beautiful artwork, a touching story, and two characters who overcome personal adversity. This BL romance is heartfelt with themes which resonated with me.

I recently started reading short stories amidst my busy schedule. Can an author develop characters & build chemistry with a limited word count? That's the real challenge, & it's one not every author can achieve.

"A talking fish? Mmm-mm. Nope, ain't no way."

This the only proper response for such a situation and my favorite part of the trailer for South of Midnight! 😄

Can't wait to play it later this week!

The new Dragon Ball Super chapter was adorable. Trunks and Goten deciding to become masked super heroes was a fun side story. I enjoyed the inspiration they take from Vegeta's battle armor into the costume. Vegeta being called papa is 🥹
