"textContent": "I’ve been reading __Hack/Slash__ lately. I enjoy the campy, B horror feel although the artwork is all over the place. I wish Tim Seely would just do it all.\n\nI’ve also picked back up __Bad Luck and Trouble__ , the Jack Reacher book that season two of the Amazon series was based on. As usual, it’s a fantastic, addictive read.\n\n* * *\n\nWe are three months into the new year and I’ve yet to finish a recently made movie. I turned off two within fifteen minutes (the new __Fantastic Four__ and __Predator__) because I am over everything looking like a video game.\n\nInstead I’ve been indulging in a ton of old movies on Tubi. I’ve been catching up on films I remember from the video store that I never rented like __Trancers__ and watching old movies I saw once like __Black Dog__ starring Patrick Swayze and I’m having an absolute blast.\n\nI was beginning to think my love of movies was over but now I realize I was just watching the wrong movies. I haven’t been overly thrilled with movies the past 10-15 years, and that’s okay. Maybe a lot of new movies just aren’t for me anymore. I prefer practical effects and movies they don’t try to rope in trauma into everything. I want my movies to be fun and Hollywood doesn’t prioritize fun these days.\n\n* * *\n\nI’m cautiously optimistic that this big __Firefly__ reveal this weekend will be something worthwhile. Personally I’m hoping for an animated show or movie.\n\n* * *\n\nI finally got around to checking out the first level of __Pennys Big Breakaway__ and have fallen in love with both the gameplay and the music. It’s reminiscent of a 3D Mario title with a bit of Sonic thrown in. I’m not sure I love the man character design but that’s easily overlooked when the game is so good.\n\nI’ve also been playing some __Mad Max__ again. I don’t know how many hours I’ve logged but it’s a ton. It’s rare for me to try and 100% a game but I just enjoy driving around and living the shit out of bad guys.\n\n* * *\n\nMy domain name is up for renewal and I wasn’t really sure what I was gonna do with it, but I decided to pay for another year. I’ve moved all my previous posts to another blog and I’m not really sure what I want to do moving forward.\n\n[\n\n* * *](https://olly.world/what-it-actually-costs-to-run-pagecord-march-2026)\n\nKudos to Olly for the mega transparency with Pagecord. The work he has done on this platform over the past year is impressive. It continues to improve and is an excellent product for the price. I know it's an uphill battle trying to build something like this and find paying users. My hat is off to him.",
