Game #2 - 1000xRESIST (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 20.12.2025 - Started: 08.01.2026 - Finished: 10.01.2026 (Story), 10.01.2026 (Platinum) Next game hasn't been decided at the moment, but if I can finish a few more this month that will keep me ahead of the end goal.

Going to see if I can make my video game completion progress more active moving forward for 2026. Game #1 - Metal Eden (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 20.12.2025 - Started: 03.01.2026 - Finished: 04.01.2026 (Story), 06.01.2026 (Platinum) The next game to play has yet to be decided but my aim...

Yeah the set contains the first five specials which are Bye Bye Lady Liberty, The Hemingway Papers, Napoleon's Dictionary, From Siberia With Love, and Voyage to Danger. Specials 1 & 5 have been out of print for a year or two, and the other three were DVD only.

Not particularly happy to see the TV Special collections this soon, considering 5 of them have yet to receive Blu-ray releases on their own (#2: The Hemingway Papers, #3: Napoleon's Dictionary, #4: From Siberia With Love, #13: Alcatraz Connection, #14: Operation Return the Treasure) for those...

Here's my December progress! I took a break from exercising due to work and holiday season interference but I did play a bit more of the Ring Fit this month. Hoping it will be part of the 2026 game completion but will see how that does. Like recent years I dedicated December to be more towards...

Happy new year! 2025 for me has been a weird year in general. Work being a bit of a mess with various things going on (work drama, workload shifting around, new team members etc) but apart from that, managed to lose weight (I was 14st 6lb at the start of July and managed to reach 13st 11lb just...

In collaboration with fellow AUKN user crashb648 we have a back-up of the seasonal anime and every catalog add-on from over the years in the form of a spreadsheet, which you can view right here! This line-up will cover a bunch of new shows/OVAs/films etc from Crunchyroll, Disney+, HIDIVE...
