One weekend, two ball games and a fancy concert hall gig.

The @torontobluejays.bsky.social smashed the Yankees (although it got a little squeaky during the 7th in Game 2), and Queens of the Stone Age put on an enthralling, stripped down, intimate show.

Here's to last minute weekend escapes!

DbD x TWD? Completed it mate!*

* apart from the one cheevo on the new Fallen Refuge map.

Happy to report that this actually doesn't taste like bum.

Ashes to ashes, and your mum says hi...

It's been a memorable DbD season, but clearly I need to be playing more Killer during this next one.

Print isn't dead!

Pleased to see the magazine section in WHSmith is still providing the goods.

I thought the whole range of mags dedicated to Harry Styles that I saw a couple of years ago couldn't be beat, but here we are...

3x @deadgoodmedia.bsky.social team members are in Brighton for the super-secret pre-Develop, Develop conference.

If you see us, special password or handshake only.

Had to think for a second who this was... then remembered it was Leonard Nimoy.

In a previous agency role, I was helping manage press appointments during E3.

Zoe Saldana also rucked up as well.

This was always a very surreal industry to work in.

Absolutely. I'm also contractually obliged to buy anything R-Type as well.

Kudos to JJB's impeccable fashion sense during the Hell is Us segment on the @futuregamesshow.bsky.social Summer Showcase.

And shout-out to eagle-eyed @cohhcarnage.bsky.social for spotting the limited run @deadgoodmedia.bsky.social sweater.

I've still got it, even after a 5 year break...

Baffled but also happy to see that Battlefront II is having a bit of a resurgence after a wave of content creator streams.

Been playing it for the first time in 5+ years, and it's still leagues ahead of the competition.

Visually stunning, even though it's technically "last gen."

Okay, now we're moving on...

That's the campaign for DOOM: The Dark Ages wrapped up. Felt like a return to form after Eternal's not very fun platforming.

Now back to Expedition 33!

Even though he'd been ill for a while, it was still a sad shock to read of Peter David's passing. He was one of the main inspirations for me wanting to write comics myself at some point.

Off the top of my head, these are the works for his that had the biggest influence.

I was supposed to be in the UK this weekend, but injured my back... so with housemate @irregulardave.bsky.social unexpectedly in Montréal, I'm showing him one of my favourite neighbourhood hotspots instead!

The big revelation out of DOOM: The Dark Ages is that the Imps eventually suffer from pattern hair loss.
May 15, 2025 at 3:42 PM
It's just as well that getting to and from Bernie Beigne involved a walk and a bike ride. Absolutely worth it, and no surprise why there's a queue for these bangers.

Spoilt for choice, but went splitsies on a pair of classics this go round: Boston creme and strawberry.

Technically, mum* said that playing Expedition 33 can count as my French homework.

* my language tutor.

Also grabbed a couple of age appropriate comics for the nephews, got a nice discount on the first Criminal deluxe hardcover collection, and the gorgeous Art of Marvel Snap (highly recommended).

Yesterday's Free Comic Book Day was bittersweet, considering it could be the last one.

My fave Montréal store, Comic Hunter, was rammed. Its promo of 3x FCBD books and 7x free books from the dollar bins certainly helped.

This week's new Snap Packs economy has resulted in 5 new cards that I'm eager to try out.

Probably not in the same deck though, as that would be pure chaos, even for Marvel Snap.

Going back to one of my favourite games of all time...

Reminiscing about the time I had to convince my publisher that it was worth putting the DLC expansion on the cover of the mag I was editing.
April 23, 2025 at 1:38 AM
After four years, time to move on out of my first proper home in Montréal. Lots of memories, but looking forward to the next adventure.

Also, I never want to see a packing box again.

This week's photo project...

Quick sprayed a black cardboard background, and went for a three light set up: one key light in front of the model (thanks, Boba Fett), with two speed lights either side using coloured gels (orange and blue).

Kirby Krackle!
...
Paying homage to the peerless Jack Kirby with some kinetic Kirby Krackle energy in the latest tattoo project with pal, Angus.

Also, turns out the side of your wrist is really bitey!
