The Game Awards 2025
I wasn't planning on watching this, although I was aware it was happening, I guess because I'm into games now or whatever; but I happened to notice it was about to start a few minutes before it began and so thought, hey, why not? Especially as I didn't have to be up in the morning (a good thing, as it went on past 4:00am my time). It was... interesting. The whole awards bit seemed kinda arbitrary, when they rushed through whole clumps of seemingly-major awards without even giving a statuette to the winners, and instead invested tonnes of time to adverts and announcements. Very different to... every other awards show I've ever watched. Equally, maybe the Oscars could learn something from this. If they had trailers/reveals/etc for major upcoming films sprinkled throughout the show as exclusives, maybe they'd attract lapsed/new viewers?

Comics

2000 AD
Prog 2456

I may not have read any for almost three weeks, but I'm still aiming to get caught up on 2000 AD by the end of the year, so here begins the final push.

Video Games

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

Ended today's 3¾ hours of play by arriving in Falkreath, a place I was invited to... wow, so long ago I can't even remember; but it's been a loooong time, in terms of how many hours I've spent in this game. So, that's city 3 of 10 I'll be venturing into next time. Busy weekend ahead for me, so that might actually not be until Monday — gasp!
