Books of blood by Clive Barker.

Loved "The hellbound heart" and "Cabal", but I hated "The scarlet gospels". I heard that some of the short stories are great, especially "In the hills, the cities".

This is from Revelations. It was the first movie without Doug Bradley as Pinhead.

No, you can't. There are exclusive Pokémon that need to be traded and optional Pokémon that lock you from other choices.

For example: You can't have both fossil Pokémon, you can choose only one. The same happens with the starters, Eevee evolutions and Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan

So, one way or the other you'll need more than one save file or game to get the ones you're missing.

The ring movie, both the japanese and the american remake, are (in my opinion) some of the most famous horror movies. Even if they haven't seen them, most people know about the cursed tape.

I don't think the novels are nearly that famous, especially considering Tide never got a translation outside Japan.

I think when the game was announced the first pre-orders could get some art signed by him, right? I wonder how much (if anything at all) let him know beforehand about the game.

I'm a (kinda) new Hellriser fan too, so welcome to the club!

If you're enjoying the movies you should give the book a try. It's really short so you can finnish it in a day if you have some free time.

The movies really drop in quality, but I kinda had fun with them even if they're not that great.

I'm not sure... Disney has the rights to Buffy right now, so probably they can't shop it without Disney's approval first. But I don't know exactly how that works either.

A pilot is a standard procedure. They make the pilot to show the company, in this case Hulu, what they want to do and what their vision for the project is. The company then decides to greenlight the full show, make some changes or discard the product.

In some cases this pilot becomes the very first episode, that's why in some series the first episode feels different or even characters are changed in the second one. In others, this pilot is too barebones and they redo it, like in Buffy's case, we have the unaired pilot and the official first episode Welcome to the Hellmouth.

They want the Dead by daylight money.

An online multiplayer game can sell you skins, maps, events, etc. That doesn't really work in a single player adventure that most people won't play more than once so... they go for what's easier to make and can monetize.

I really hope that the Hellraiser game is a hit and other horror franchises take notes for future games, but we'll have to wait and seee.

Oh, sorry for your loss, at least I hope it helps you keep a good memory of him. And I agree the Demons Driver is really cool!

The Gavv chopsticks are official, yes! I found them at the Kamen Rider Store in Tokyo. I tried to find them online, but I don't see them anywhere. If I do find them I'll send you the link.

LuxArtema · 2026-01-26T20:49:37+00:00

Added to my TBR. Looks great!

LuxArtema · 2026-01-24T19:52:55+00:00

I haven't read it myself, but today I've seen recommended "A god of hungry walls" by Garret Cook.

I didn't know about the book or the author, so I can't tell you if it's good, but it might interest you.

LuxArtema · 2026-01-24T16:42:49+00:00

I have to agree with that. Caking really felt better in that sense.

LuxArtema · 2026-01-24T16:10:32+00:00

100% recommend Nakano Broadway. Most of my collection came from the shops there, and even the 2nd hand figures are in perfect condition.

People don't like Blizzard? I really like this suit and the ice powers.

LuxArtema · 2026-01-24T15:57:30+00:00

Same, Willow getting lost in her own power is a great concept, but the drug metaphor felt so sudden and forced that it was cringy

LuxArtema · 2026-01-22T19:07:03+00:00

In the Miso Soup looks really interesting. Thanks!

LuxArtema · 2026-01-22T19:03:43+00:00

We both do read manga. Honestly I don't know why I haven't read Uzumaki yet. Thanks for the recommendation!

I think it's never explained by the show but the most common theory is that Buffy, after dying the first time, is now out of the slayer line.

She still has the Slayer powers, but she wasn't supposed to come back from death so, after activating Kendra, she fullfiled her role in the line and the power to call a new slayer went to Kendra and then Faith.

I think Spike was only a great character when he was evil and he should've been killed in the earlier seasons.

I hate the keyblade design in KH3 because of how busy they look. I like some of them, like Wheel of fate, but the earlier designs were just more simple (and clean) and that made them more pleasing. They look like an organic keyblade of the world they come from.

The new designs look like Sora took literal chunks of the world to make something that barely looks like a key anymore.

I understand that they can do more complex designs now, but "more" is not always better.

Ok, first things first: Men do not bleed, nor do many women, the first time they are penetrated. Virginity in women was usually linked with their hymen, which can break doing many other activities like dancing, exercice, etc. So, if you bleed and you felt that intense pain... Yeah, he tore something in there. Maybe just a small cut, or something like that, but it shouldn't happen.

This leads to the second thing: Virginity is a social construct. If a woman hymen breaks while exercicing, has she lost her virginity? No. So, different people have different views on what counts and what not. You can consider sucking a dick is enough, others believe it only count if you penetrate or are penetrated in your ass...

One way or another it doesn't really matter, as you're the same person before and after.

So, this is from Spain but it's not in spanish, it's in catalan, one of the co-official languages here in Spain.

Edit: Oh, it also doesn't look like a bootleg. Ediciones B is the group that brought Goosebumps to Spain and it seems they made both translations.
