Second playthrough of SW: Zero Company. This time round selecting the Mando character, Cly, that I deliberately left out last time. Only just got her and done one mission. She was nerfed in the latest patch but even still she's great. I can see why she needed a nerf.

Ok several hundred years after everyone else I've finally seen Tremors. That's a quality slice of cheese.

Onto Strange New Worlds S4 ep 9. They really are leaning into the worst of previous seasons. Nearly every other ep is a joke episode but the jokes aren't funny and the whimsy falls flat on its arse.

Mandogrogu good. Obviously a bunch of eps smooshed together but great fun. Snorted hard when I recognised what was going on in the arena, a lovely callback. Rotta prolly one of the best new SW characters in ages.

Completed Star Wars Zero Company. Great story (really didn't expect that), very fun gameplay, somewhat janky code. Looking for chances to push enemies off gantries with a Force push never gets old. Deliberately didn't allow the Mando character into Zero company - I'll get her next playthrough.

Supergirl (no not that one. Or that one. This year's one). Good-ish fun. Milly Alcock awesome. Lobo as Jason Momoa was great. He played Jason Momoa perfectly. Lotta misteps that make it a mess but good for chugging down popcorn. Not a fan of hurting the dog so the audience is on board. Do better.

I know its skipping ahead of #ukb5watch but all you need to know is that it involves Sheridan finally getting a decent snack.

First impression: a lot to learn here.

*Drums fingers impatiently* Come on, drop already, I preordered this aaaaages ago😀 store.steampowered.com/dlc/1575940

More bugs in SW Zero Company: Last baddy takes their turn but game does not return control to player. Game would not let me save so I could return to that point. Lost a whole mission's worth of progress because of it. Shame Bitreactor got rid of most of their devs cos there's a lot of work to do.

You know the makers of Star wars Zero Company love Xcom because they included a lot of shooting through walls and awkward camera angles. Also best crate logo ever:

SW Zero Company overwriting/deleting my save games when I did not select Beskar (Iron Man) mode.

My fave bit in Star Wars Zero Company so far is when I killed a baddy and it gained the status ‘Disoriented’.

Hadn't heard this version before. Didn't know it was a thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d75o...

Not the original version but the version I listen to a lot. Rest in peace Mr. Orbit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnTn...

Study Finds Most Americans Can't Find Where They Are Being Deported On Map

Been tempted by #ukb5Watch but I've just been digging out the boxsets and watching along on that but enjoying the various posts people have been making.

Though I probably won't see it at the cinema, I'm looking forward to seeing Saving Private Odysseus.

Taco Bell being the best US food agency reminds me I haven’t watched Demolition Man in a while.

Great job 👏

RIP Sam Neil. I hope they play the Hawaii 5-0 theme at his funeral. Always loved seeing him in pretty much anything.

Up to X-Men ‘97 S2EP4. Still rocks. John de Lancie delivers, as always.

On my way, Clacton.

Don't forget to leave out milk and cookies for Steve Rogers tonight.

The trailer for Alien Isolation 2 is out. I'm rather proud I made it to the end of the trailer. For me that means I completed the game.

Finally got to see Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die. It was good fun even though overegged in parts. If you don't already know it's basically 12 Black Mirror Terminator Monkeys.

‘The Mandalorian And Grogu’ Slammed By Fans As Third-Best ‘Star Wars’ Film

Time to rewatch Lower Decks Lower Decks Lower Decks Lower Decks...

Rewatched Forbidden Planet. Top notch 50’s Sci-if and the template for many, many Star Trek episodes. Blu-ray extras are also very good.

Japanese sci-fi: two robots in space, yearning American sci-fi: man gets the author's beliefs on polygamy confirmed by the aliens of ramalama IV french sci-fi: two horny bounty hunters visit the Galaxy of Breasts British sci-fi: nuclear war. Everyone dead. America's fault

Been a while. All 5 crew + Ash for extra mayhem...

Last night, chillin' out while Picard wonders why those astronauts are in such a rubbish spaceship with no carpets but is forced to concede their lighting is better.

Daredevil Born Again S2 up to ep 4 has been tremendous so far. Pllllllease don' f-up the second half of the season. Ep4 intro is like a masterclass in how to do a pre-credit sequence, none of this 10-mins meandering BS like in Star Trek Disco or ST Fleet Academy.

Finally got to see Predator Badlands. Two thumbs way way up. A good sci-fi romp, nice expansion on Yautja lore. Some very silly, almost Pythonesque, bits but they were very well done and a hoot to watch. Chortled at the last line.

Old guys with these wheely zimmer things in crowded train stations are the *best*. Tuck into their slipstream and they’re like a snowplough of people.

Uh oh, incoming... I'd better get the lube out.

Amazon Prime has Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe in their documentary section. Well ok then...

Because its never getting old and still cracks me up... www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6In...

I watched A House Of Dynamite last night. Very much enjoyed it and liked the ending. Some of the negative opinions on the way it ended are amusing.

Just found my first major bug in Sins2. Playing as Advent for the first time. The defending Vasari starbase has moved out of the gravity well so far that my ships can't pursue it. I can't attack the planet because the planetary shield on it requires the starbase to be destroyed first.

Sins of a Solar Empire 2 might just have one of the slickest game interfaces ever. I bought it on day one but am only now playing it more. The Devs have refined the interface of the original with some quality polish.
