Fantasy casting: Biohazard/ Resident Evil

You may remember that nearly a year ago now I listed my casting ideas for Tomb Raider. I’ve been watching lots of Resident Evil (a.k.a. Biohazard, バイオハザード) longplays recently to get my nostalgia fix. These got me thinking about how, as with Tomb Raider, I’d love for a movie...

More from Appaloosa Plains

Here’s some more madness from my current game of The Sims 3. I’m really gonna try to stop screenshotting things now. It’s basically a weird survival house; this family have been burned before, because they are literal ghosts, so they “live” in this weird house to avoid anything else....

Invite the joy of The Sims into your life

I am currently in mourning for our PS3. It won’t start up for long without just cutting out. Obviously I am very bummed, not only because of the current game of The Sims I have going, but because of all the Tomb Raider saves on there and stuff. I’m...

I love The Sims

Undeniably inspired by Giant Bomb’s “13 Deadly Sims” segment, a while ago I felt the need to hunt down wherever we’d packed The Sims 3 Pets for PS3. I understand that the PS3 is a bit dated now, but I still totally recommend it. There aren’t horses and stuff...

Fantasy casting: TR 1996

A new Tomb Raider film is coming out, based on the second reboot of the storyline, the third-era games. There were previous Tomb Raider films with Angelina Jolie as Lara, who was probably the best casting option possible at the time. The new film stars Alicia Vikander, who honestly...

Recent life things

Yo, here’s some stuff that’s been happening. This one’s probably boring, but a while ago, our toilet started running. You might have an amusing image in your head, but actually, it just means that our cistern was leaking and the toilet was essentially flushing itself about once a minute...

The Tomb Raider Trilogy on PS3

I’ve been playing the original Tomb Raider on the PS3 recently. It’s the only console that we’ve unpacked since moving here (and also the only one we have the right cable with to make it work with my partner’s TV). I had a sudden aching to play the Anniversary...

My weird hobby: Playing Tomb Raider levels backwards

This is very much explained by the title of the post, but perhaps could use further elaboration. On the original 1996 Tomb Raider game, it is possible to play some levels in almost-reverse order, avoid trigger points for enemies, and other such things. In the last few years I’ve only...
