Well, i've fought the good fight now, for a few years. I struggled hard, & valiantly. Hitherto i managed to keep above the fray. Tonight though, i relented, i caved in, i succumbed to temptation.

And so, once more into the breach dear friends...

www.sbs.com.auWatch Mars Attacks!Martians arrive on an unsuspecting Earth and proceed to cause chaos, kidnapping TV hosts and a scientist as part of their malevolent plans.

In Mars Attacks, Jack Nicholson, playing the president, muses: "We still have two out of three branches of government - and that aint bad" after Martians incinerate Congress. Pondering the fact that things are worse in the US now than they were in a campy dystopian Tim Burton movie made in the 90s. Congress has effectively incinerated itself. The executive branch is attacking Americans, and we kinda sorta have a judiciary. #USPol #MarsAttacks

The morning is a bit of a chilly one. -25c with wind chill makes machines at work take longer to get going.

Last night we had a very strange double feature of movies: #TheGreatGatsby and #MarsAttacks, both movies that I hadn’t seen yet.

My partner and I don’t tend to watch a lot of dramas, but Gatsby was quite the tale. The art direction sometime was really over the top which I’m sure is intentional.

Mars Attacks was just a good and goofy time. Don’t run, we’re your friends

I do a little bit of #Modding of #Victoria3, the GSG by #ParadoxInteractive.

Recently got side tracked from my main Horror Mod to try and get my #WarOfTheWorlds mod into a releasable state for v1.8. It's actually ended up more like #MarsAttacks than HG Wells!

Not got the skills to make the models of the Tripods, but WW1 Tanks are just as scary in 1836! Have used a game rule to give the option of multiple start dates.

It's provisionally titled 'Forever Autumn', but not sure how many will get the reference!

A bit surprised no one has already tried to make a mod for this, as it seems an obvious subject for a game that spans from 1836 to 1936!
