Beck is the most recent artist I've done an uber-completionist discography listen-through of and it was one of the most satisfying. A big takeaway was that he used to sing about selling his soul to Satan a lot, and then he did. So a book with a biblical fall theme... Instantly hype for this.

Snatcher [1988/1994]

The last time we checked in on the Japanese adventure gaming tradition, it was with Nakayama Miho No Tokimeki High School [1986], arguably the first “dating sim,” and that is the only r…

Dear Joseph, I appreciate your request, as I do every reader’s. They’re surprisingly rare and I always do my best to honor them. This particular case turned out to be more difficult tha…

#WhoWatch S1E30 - The Day Of Darkness Been a while since we've been in the shadows, which is always where this show shines brightest, ironically. The crossfades are good too.

#WhoWatch S1E29 - The Bride Of Sacrifice Ixta's "stealth and cunning" is genuinely some of the most impressive double-cross work yet in a show that, other than The Keys Of Marinus, runs on double-crosses. I genuinely didn't see the whole thing coming.

#WhoWatch S1E28 - The Warriors Of Death Really that title just seems redundant.

#WhoWatch S1E27 - The Temple Of Evil Glad Barbara's history education is being put to use but I'm really apprehensive of a Doctor Who arc called The Aztecs.

#WhoWatch S1E26 - The Keys Of Marinus Blast, right when I was almost done I closed the whole browser and lost the thread. So just one post: Why do they code the justice system segment so strongly as Nazis with swastikas and all, if they're just going to handshake them as reasonable and respectable?

#WhoWatch S1E25 - Sentence Of Death Okay, so we've had medieval aesthetics, crystal pyramid aesthetics, Roman aesthetics, and now not-quite-Nazi aesthetics. All of history is happening at once on Marinus.

#WhoWatch S1E24 - The Snows Of Terror This is just like "By The Law," the 1926 Kuleshov film. In that three people are sequestered from the unsurvivable snowy winter in a wooden cabin.

#WhoWatch S1E23 - The Screaming Jungle "I do wish Ian wouldn't treat us like Dresden china." Barbara correctly calling out the structural misogyny of the plots.

#WhoWatch S1E22 - The Velvet Web I like how they can just open a door and they're in a Roman-style villa waited on by servants. Literally anything could be around any corner in this show.

#WhoWatch S1E21 - The Sea Of Death First man in rubber suit! Love the triangle theming of the set, shades of the great Dalek serial set design. Also they are absolutely walking barefoot on glass.

S1E20 - Assassin At Peking Aw, the guards cut in to keep the climactic swordfight from happening to keepy-uppy the tension instead of letting it finally explosively boil over... Now I'm wondering if the show ever WON'T back down from the obvious implications of its most intriguing cliffhangers?

S1E19 - Mighty Kublai Khan The theme continues playing softly in the background for an unusually long time here. It's disappointing that more of the soundtrack doesn't sound anything like that.

S1E18 - Rider From Shang-Tu The obvious beat is that Ian is going to be blamed for killing the guard but that's fair enough if so, that was seemingly his plan.

#WhoWatch S1E17 - The Wall Of Lies This cave is reportedly full of evil spirits, but the gang were regarded as evil spirits at first too.

#WhoWatch S1E16 - The Cave Of Five Hundred Eyes Might be the best episode name ever, even though it promises more cave...

#WhoWatch S1E15 - The Shifting Sands "Both difficult and bad-tempered." Yup, that's him!

#WhoWatch S1E14 - The Roof Of The World I love this opening unlike anything we've seen with all the cross-dissolves and the subtitle telling us where and when we are, for once not following directly on from the shot of the prior episode. Nicely disorienting!

#WhoWatch S1E13 - The Brink Of Destruction It's time for the Dr. Who finale everyone is talking about, the finale to The Edge Of Destruction!

OK, sorry, I'm gonna be That Guy™ - here's a hand-wavy explanation of why there are so many wildly out-of-scale Half-Life era maps!

Andrew Weldon@andrew-weldon.design · last yr.

Oh hey it's a Half-Life or Counter-Strike map using 256x256 texture packs

between psycho patrol r and cruelty squad, we're really getting into a fascinating era of "games that spiritually succeed from Forbes Corporate Warrior"

#WhoWatch S1E12 - The Edge Of Destruction I gotta pick up the pace... If I do one serial a month I think that puts me at slightly slower than real life, and there's just not enough life for that.

#WhoWatch S1E11 - The Rescue Their cliffhanger between the episodes was a literal cliffhanger...

#WhoWatch S1E10 - The Ordeal "What happened?" "It must have happened very quickly." It's effective to leave the cause of death so comprehensively ambiguous.

#WhoWatch S1E9 - The Expedition The Daleks once again are watching Dr. Who on their TVs. (This time they're specifically watching telesnaps.) Their security camera usage has been repeatedly underlined as a major aspect of them, really.

#WhoWatch S1E8 - The Ambush Susan's quick thinking and little wink to the audience is good. I'm just happy whenever Susan gets literally anything to do at this point.

#WhoWatch S1E7 - The Escape "Don't be afraid," says this guy, but the soundtrack and framing tells us otherwise. Dr. Who is a horror show. Everyone is pretty much constantly afraid.
