❓Question: when’s the last time you “chatted online“ with anyone outside of this site?

I'm working on converting old family 8mm film movies to a distal format. It is slow going, but works well. 

😟Hope our WARLOCK will be found OK but not sounding good.

Julian Sands, a British actor best known for his roles in films like the 1985 drama “A Room With a View” and the 1989 horror entry “Warlock,” was reported missing at about 7:30 p.m. last Friday, Jan. 13. Sands had been hiking in the Baldy Bowl hiking area, approximately 50 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
According to a representative for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, ground crews responded and began searching the area soon after the 65-year-old Sands was reported missing. However, parties had to be pulled Saturday evening, after roughly 24 hours of searching, due to avalanche risks and trail conditions.
Sands is known to be an enthusiastic mountaineer. “I love climbing mountains, I’ve spent a lot of time in the Alps over the years, a lot of time in the Andes, Alaska and the American ranges,” Sands told ThriveGlobal in 2020.

I just finished watching the first episode of The Sandman on Netflix, and my reaction is simply 😮 
I’ve heard of the greatness that is Neil Gaiman and his work The Sandman. However, the descriptions of it being some sort of horror was off putting as I’m not a fan of the horror genre.  As I looked at the thumbnail in Netflix though, it looked more like a dark fantasy in a dream setting more so than horror. Still even then, I’m not a big fan of dream settings, and I prefer something more tangibly grounded.
Nevertheless, something compelled me to give it a try tonight, and OMG this is amazing. The premise and the story are absolutely brilliant. The first episode moved at a rapid pace to set up the world and the characters. The characters and the scenes looked beautiful. It was simply a delight and I look forward to the remaining ten episodes.

Back after a long break (and a whole lot of rainfall) and gearing for The Season 4 Premiere of Retro With Marco! Join me tonight at 9pm ET when you will see:

It's very odd, I keep getting messages from people wanting my thoughts on his games, and someone sent me a game called Monster! I never heard of. So...... let's give that one a whirl.
