    Jurassic Park - Movie

    By Myr,


    Movies
    This movie was crazy in 1993.  The soaring music, the visuals.  The special effects. The dinosaurs.  The humor.
    I miss when they made good original movies now and then.  No lectures.  No harassment. Just good entertainment.  They spared no expense

    Forza Horizon 4

    By Myr,


    Gaming
    Don't let the slightly older Forza Horizon 4 scare you...  It's a hell of a beauty.
    This is a really fun game as well. It's on Xbox, obviously, but also Steam I think.  Fun game to mindlessly unwind.  check it out of you like pretty cars and arcade action.

    Spelunking

    By Myr,


    Writing
    Survivalist's Guide to Spelunking is another book I've supported on Kickstarter that adds to my world building library.  I wanted more ready reference material for dungeon diving details for when I get around to those.  This is also a great RPG reference if you are doing any of those d20 type games

    iPad Mini 6 - 64GB

    By Myr,


    Gadgets
    Earlier this year my Samsung Tab S2 finally gave up most of the ghost.  It's just the right size (about the size of a book), that I use it heavily for reading purposes.  This opened me up to replacing and Samsung no longer makes a small size tablet.  In fact, only Apple does with anything that even approaches the power of the Tab S2 I was replacing.  So I went with the Apple iPad Mini 6, 64-Bit Wifi version.  Like all Apple products, it is solidly built.  It's fast and stable.  So, it's been replaced as my daily driver for tablet sized reading.   It also finally gives me a Safari-based browser to check the site with.  So, woot.
    Solid tool.  Hate the screen keyboard. it lacks punctuation without going to extra screens.

    Batman Begins

    By Myr,


    Movies
    So, I really, really enjoyed this movie.  It had a more grounded comic book movie approach than the over-the-top-campy the George Clooney and Val Kilmer Batman movies went.  And of course, this set up The Dark Knight, one of the best comic book movies ever.  Which, unfortunately was folllowed by the worse Batman movie of all,  The Dark Knight Falls.  The batman movie that is 2.5 hours long with about 5 minutes of Batman.  Ugh.  Stupid.
    But knowing the end of the trilogy does not stop the great enjoyment of the first two entries.

    Gotham - TV Show

    By Myr,


    Television
    Let's see.  This was an interesting show.  I liked a lot of how they approached things, though it got repetitive later. They had good actors on it though.

    Starfield in 2023 - I'm still Hopeful

    By Myr,


    Gaming
    I strongly suspect this game will be driving my interest desire to write sci-fi. It was originally supposed to launch on 11/11/22.  They missed. 
    Of course, I'll have to beat the game first.  And yes, I suspect a Bethesda game to have some bugs.  You saw some really big bugs in the trailer, though they looked like the variety that are supposed to be there as alien creatures.
    Anyone else looking forward to this game?

    Dune - Adventures in the Imperium

    By Myr,


    Books
    I don't focus entirely on fantasy in my inspirations for world building.  I picked this up to explore some of the deeper side of the Dune universe.  This is a very nice book in quality and imagery.  It's interesting how different authors put together their worlds and make them work.

    Moonfall

    By Myr,


    Movies
    Moonfall is another movie from groaner disaster movie guru Roland Emmerich.  This movie is one of those -turn your brain off completely sort of movies.  If you are familair with physics, turn that off.  the laws of physics are even more optional in this movie than in 2012, which features a limo doing jumps under a subway train...  the groan are more than that.
    The special effects are pretty good though. Interesting sci-fi story but we're not talking Arthur C. Clarke here either...
    If you like non-serious disaster movies where the actors earnestly try... this is one of those.

    Mythic Britain & Ireland

    By Myr,


    Writing
    I supporter this one on Kickstarter as I have an interest in the mythologies associated with Britain and Ireland. (Scotland too).  This is another RPG, of course.  I'm using as an inspiration for more Irish/British mythology monsters.  This is an interesting book with some cool artwork.
    worth checking out if you deep diving into different world building inspiration or gaming.

    Hogwarts Legacy -Gameplay Showcase

    By Myr,


    Gaming
    Hogwarts Legacy is coming in Feb 2023.  I can't of a game I am more interested in right now except, maybe, Starfield.
     
    It looks like you'll really be able to customize your look in the game.  This video has only increased my interest.

    Remarkable Cults and Their Followers

    By Myr,


    Writing
    Another gaming book that I use as inspiration is Remarkable Cults and Their Followers by LoreSmyth's JVC Parry, Jeff Lee, and RP Davis.
    Every fantasy world needs a bad guy and every bad guy needs a cult.  This is a great inspiration for different ways you can put things together.  More fodder for world builders.

    Pirate Compaign Compendium

    By Myr,


    Writing
    Pirate Campaign Compendium is another gaming resource but this time to the dangers of traveling on the high seas in a fantasy setting.  This is just another book in my vast collection that I can reference for those "at sea" stories in the queue.  The artwork is also nice. 
    Cheers to world building, and ahoy matey!
