COMIC COVER OF THE WEEK

By Mike Del Mundo. Arty, smarty and unsettling.

I'm giving a second award for this sweet tribute to the late Shannen Doherty. Cover by Ryan Gajda.

SONG OF THE WEEK

"Masha Allah" by Abrila feat. Eicost (Argentina).

Commended: "Chxxai" by Creepy Nuts (Japan), the rendition of "Stayin' Alive" by Royal Republic (Sweden) and "Supermuted" by R. Missing (US).

BEST FILM I SAW IN THE PAST WEEK

Also the only one.

-- 

Where the @#$% am I going to put this?

--

Beautest thing I played at Pinfest 2025. You actually have a character with ability scores, level, items, quests and whatnot. Saw a fella defeat the mechanical red dragon in the middle of the table. He juggled the multiballs like a hero until the wyrm was slain.

--

Solid listenation. A variation on "Snowpiercer", plus biological horror combined with a sophisticated sort of alien contact. Ending perhaps a tad weak.

--

Parked "Dicey Words" after reaching difficulty 6/7 and unlocking most of the achievements. Diminishing returns. This be my new lexical diversion.

--

Thanks to RS1 for this box set. "Slime" is a classic that transformed the isekai subgenre. Now Vol. 1-6 are read, I'll be dropping them in at the uni book nook when I get the chance.

--

Also downloaded this into my brain. Like a modern "Tomb Of Horrors" trap-fest with more plot and more detailed scoring. Also a ton of monsters/items/spells, etc. useable in any campaign. Would I run it? Nah.

--

Working my way through the below pod. Particularly interesting to me are the changes made for the Australian audience.

--

An older figure, sure, but half price (including postage) is half price!

--

Two short seasons of four short episodes - and they are ace. The contents of the "Star Wars" Universe all mixed up to great comedic effect, e.g. Luke is a slacker pod racer who only uses The Force to help him cheat. It's funnier than that sounds, trust me!

--

Tried this with RS2. Terrible instruction manual and the cards could be more clearly differentiated. However, a finely tuned "travel edition" game. It received four thumbs up.
