“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Happy HELLOWEEN 2021

Happy HELLOWEEN 2021

Well, it’s that time of year again – where kids wander from house to house dressed up in adorable costumes to beg for candy, and where adults get dressed up in genuinely absurd costumes to ask for… well, a very different kind of candy, especially...
The new era of HALO

The new era of HALO

The new campaign trailer for HALO Infinite dropped yesterday – and so did my jaw, when I saw it: Jen Taylor’s voice. Epic graphics. Amazing cutscenes. Innovative gameplay. Loads of new weapons. Endless ways of achieving specific objectives. An open sandbox...
Desperately dodging the blindingly obvious

Desperately dodging the blindingly obvious

LRFotS Robert W passed on a video to me via a comment to this week’s Great Mondaydact Browser Slayer that is both deeply engaging and very thought-provoking. It concerns attempts by physicists to find a new and tractable approach to that hoary old chestnut,...

Album Review: Senjutsu by IRON MAIDEN

For any fan of great music, the release of a new album by a favourite band or artist is always a milestone in one’s life. And when we’re talking about a new album from THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL F***ING TIME, then that is an event all by itself, to be...

The dyslexic voice of Dog

That moniker is actually something that Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of THE GREATEST F***ING BAND OF ALL TIME, aka IRON MAIDEN, once put in the liner notes of his supremely awesome solo album, The Chemical Wedding, to describe his old friend, Arthur Brown. That was...
Gingervitis treatment

Gingervitis treatment

This one goes out to Dire Badger and all of my other readers who suffer from severe gingervitis – it consists of redheaded green-eyed (I think) Russian guitarist Alyona Vargasova doing her thing: OK, yeah, she’s GOOD. And very obviously classically...

Sugoi, Eddie-sama

THE GREATEST F***ING BAND OF ALL F***ING TIME will soon be releasing their 17th (!!!!!) studio album, and by Eddie’s fangs, the new album cover looks absolutely incredible. The details about the album itself are pretty interesting too: After releasing their new...
Definitely not your dad’s IRON MAIDEN

Definitely not your dad’s IRON MAIDEN

THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL FREAKIN’ TIME is back with a new song: This is definitely not what you might call “standard” IRON MAIDEN. But I have to say, it is very, very good. IRON MAIDEN has definitely slowed down a lot in recent years – well,...
Let the Reclamation begin

Let the Reclamation begin

The new E3 2021 HALO Infinite campaign trailer is out, and… well, just watch – though you’ll want to skip through the first 2min of it, because of Bonnie Ross flapping her trap: First things first… Wow. We have waited nearly SEVEN YEARS for a...
Big lizard and big monkey go BOOM

Big lizard and big monkey go BOOM

Back when Warner Bros. dropped the Godzilla vs Kong film trailer on YooToobz, I reacted with a snort of derision. It seemed to be too stupid for words – a really big dumb loud monster flick that made even Godzilla: King of the Monsters look sensible and sane by...
