I’m back on this nonsense again. Although I have less gaming time with the Euros on telly, I can get more sketching done.

Enjoying this excellent book by Michael Molcher that I got for Xmas.

I admit I was expecting more of a, “see that on the news? Same thing happened in this 1979 Dredd story, lol,” kind of book. Instead it’s more like, “we’re all completely fucked and here are the receipts to prove it.”

Still essential reading.

Finally got down to WHSmiths today to see copies of the second edition of Spectrum on the shelves. I drew the 12 page Terrahawks strip written by Dan Whitehead, with extra inks by Gary Crutchley, colours by Owen Watts & lettering by James Gray. Naturally I moved all copies to the front.

I’m slightly disappointed that I couldn’t manage to finish the inks and colours in time myself, but it turns out that drawing comics in the evening when you have a full time game dev job is quite hard work.

That’s Ganondorf down. 245 hours on the clock, and there are still things I haven’t done yet. What an absolutely incredible, epic adventure that was. Tears of the Kingdom is the most impressive video game I’ve ever played.

How on earth have I not seen The Boondock Saints before today? What a wild film!

I also watched that Heart of Stone film on Netflix last week. I was fine with the ridiculous setup and outrageously implausible stunts, but the film lost me in the middle when the gang were sat having a post-action meal in a traditional English chippy, but all drinking bottles of beer. As if.

Saw Oppenheimer last night at my local cinema. I enjoyed it generally but reckon I missed at least 20% of the dialogue because I couldn’t make out what people were saying. All the way through I was thinking how much nicer this would be to watch at home with subtitles on, knowing what was being said.

I’m not normally one to mark passages in books I read, but John Higgs’ excellent Love and Let Die (contrasting the cultural influence of The Beatles and James Bond) has had me shouting out ‘Yes!’ about a dozen times in the opening chapters alone. I want to come back and enjoy these again.
