Spring 2022:

As far as remakes go, this Hollywood Holocaust remake is pretty impressive (and not really much of a remake), so go take a look.

Oh, and YES, I'm aware of the Duke Nukem Forever thingie: I'm in the process of writing a few words about it.

I'm finally done writing a map-by-map re-re-review of Last Reaction & Water Bases & Chimera, so check it out!

MSDN turns 23 today! Unfortunately I don't have anything more than that to offer at this very second (I tried but ran out of time), but I'll drop a few updates within the next two or so weeks. These include a revised review of Last Reaction & Water Bases (plus Chimera) TC, a review of an old map that hasn't been featured on this site before, an updated & considerably expanded My Maps section, and the release of more Hot Maps collections (like those on the top of the Hot Maps page). So, keep checking this space!

Seems like the end of covid (or, rather, the end of covid hysteria) has put a dent on mapping activity. But worry not, for many interesting projects are set to be released this year.

In the meanwhile I've re-reviewed Warzone, a classic from 1997. Also check out my review of Resident Evil 3 (2020).

Interesting times are ahead here in Finland. It's assumed we'll apply for a NATO membership within the next few weeks/months in response to Russia's cruel and callous invasion of Ukraine. The retreat of Russian forces in the face of heavy losses has revealed heinous war crimes that come off as no surprise to those who're familiar with the conduct of Russian soldiers in past conflicts. Such crimes are not an aberration but a strategic aspect of Russian conduct of war.

A great way to kick off this spring (never mind that it's snowing heavily at this very moment), check out Resistance, a new Alien Armageddon episode.

And while you're enjoying the game, don't forget Ukraine where cowardly Russian forces, too afraid to fight man-to-man (estimates of Russian soldiers killed in battle range from around 7000 all the way up to 15 000), have resorted to shelling cities from a distance, turning places like Mariupol into something resembling Grozny circa 2000. A theater marked with the word "children" was bombed, killing 300 civilians sheltering inside. Journalists have been kidnapped and tortured by FSB agents, women raped and hanged by Russian soldiers. The Russian people have united and rallied behind the letter Z, or "zwastika". Their "special operation" to "de-nazify" Ukraine has included bombing a Holocaust memorial, killing a Holocaust survivor, and sending far-right assassins after Ukraine's Jewish president.
Gasoline prices here in Finland have shot up to around 2,2 euros per liter; it's an inconvenience, especially to someone like me who has to use a car for my job every day, but that's all it is, an inconvenience.
