Routt National Forest, Colorado.

Second day backpacking in Mount Zirkel Wilderness and it was another tough day. Hitting Davis Peak wasn't so hard, nor was getting to Seven Lakes, but getting back down to Encampment River was hard. Finding my way up to Gem Lake for camp sure wasn't easy either.

Man Made Power and a Low Key Mountain Setting (Ross Lake National Recreation Area) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A combination of titles for this image. One is from this one I came across a few years ago on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/the-o/6177849668/in/gallery-1472333...). The other is from one of the Nik CEP 4.0 filters I used for this image. It's actually a recipe of a number of filters, but the Low Key filter is one that really brought out the look I felt best captured this mountain setting. With the bright sunlight coming out this late morning, I decided to once again try out a techniques of using an HDR capture with my Nikon D800E with multiple in-camera exposures. I then brought the image into Capture NX2 for a majority of the post-processing work before exporting a TIFF image to Nik CEP 4.0

In honor of he who died and rose after three days in the grave and now grants life ever lasting to his followers I thought it only right I got into the spirit once. So Dracula, this one's for you:

Just look at it.

You have what appears to be (and is) an accountant being menaced by boobalicious vampire women twice his size, so he's got Ethan Winters beaten to the punch by 34 years. But don't be fooled. One glance into his 30-yard stare and its obvious why only Mr. Weems can stop these sinister She-Vampires:

Weems is dead on the inside yet still living, where the she-vampires are animated from within with life, while dead.

He is their antithesis.

So yeah, a pile of jank with a fun name crossed my path, and now you all have to hear about it. If you're not hitting 'J', you have no one to blame but yourself.

Released on a scad of systems, but mostly the ZX Spectrum and the C64, The Astonishing Adventures of Mr. Weems & the She-Vampires is a sort of 'Gauntroidvania'. It's also trying to push the limits of how titillating a pre-NES era game could be, though the C64 port's interface missed that memo.

The hacked c64 version was the one I played, but giantbomb had a lot of gifs from the ZX verison that I've upscaled for demonstration purposes.

The only bit of story is from the back package. Weems wants to feel something, so he's decided to take on the Great She-Vampire or die in her buxom grasp. Fair.

This game is not recommended for people with epilepsy, dignity, or in general.

Mr. Weems has a garlic gun to defend his ever-dropping blood supply (vampire hunter is an odd professon with anemia) and destroy the baddies...

All three of them, which are all introduced on the first screen!

You've got bats, they pop out of pots and attack you.

The manual says these guys are Frankenstein's' monsters, but they're clearly the giant from Twin Peaks trying to warn you that you've bought a dud.

On the C64, the lesser she-vampires are clearly based on Dracula's brides, whereas on the ZX, they're more like ghosts with big naturals.

Which means that to get both kinds of vampire babe from the secondary cover, you'd have to buy a cassette for your c64, and and for your ZX. And I don't mean a cartridge, I mean a, Cassette tape.

If you manage to stalk your way all the way to the end and find the gear you need to destroy her, the Great She-Vampire awaits:

There's no boss fight, but there is a 1 pixel nip, at least on the ZX spectrum.

From there you book it back the way you came, only every screen now has a she-vampire chasing you in a murderous rage. Make it out, and you win. Or maybe you didn't, because just like the Dungeon of Fear and Hunger, you can never really escape Mr. Weems & the She-Vampires.

Only Weems increases the immersion by truamatizing you, the player. Mr. Weems is fine. You don't have to worry about the Weems.

So...

Is it a good game?

Not remotely, but that isn't the point in the slightest.

It's temping to say this is the Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies of video games, but that's not quite right. Weems has promise and ISCWSLaBMUZ doesn't make promises. It issues threats.

Mr. Weems has the charm of a concept that's all potential and zero execution. A dead-eyed accountant gunning his way in a Gauntlet-esq blitz through a vampire-babe infested castle is a fun idea, more-so with all the secret passages and 'gather items and backtrack to the boss' aspect. It's just everything else that goes wrong.

I mean, who doesn't want to hunt the Great She-Vampire to her penthouse for a good staking, I ask you?

moffat: had some sexist writing in his first season and got criticised.

moffat: acknowledged he made mistakes and immediately improved on them.

chibnall: was told his politics were on the nose and that there weren’t enough references to past seasons.

chibnall: improved immediately on these mistakes.

rtd: couldn’t kill characters, wrote boring tropes, treated his black characters wrong, did fake progressive things.

rtd: did it all again but worse.

and who’s meant to be the saviour of doctor who again?

#doctor who #anti russel t davies #anti rtd #moffat and chibnall were peak who writers apparently #i’ll only rewatch their eras now

More SOURCE info from the My Peak Challenge Games earlier today. DM posted with permission.

So, Sam's long time driver, Davie Stewart was there. No Sarah Holden, as we surmised. Sam has NEVER brought a date to any MPC Gala event. And I don't think this year will be any exception. But stay tuned for source details from Gala itself later today. Can't wait!

do u have any fave holiday / ny / wintery / decembery movies 👀

Boy do I!!

I bet you've seen plenty of these, but here are the first ones that immediately leapt to my mind, in chronological order:

REMEMBER THE NIGHT (1939) - thee wintery holiday movie for me. unsung masterpiece, extremely sexy.

MEET JOHN DOE (1941) - holidays but make it miserable and moral. sometimes the holiday season is about being glum! Also I love to see young Gary Cooper's big sad eyes in the snow.

(^^both of those are currently streaming on the criterion channel!!)

NEVER SAY GOODBYE (1946) - I think Errol Flynn should be on any winter/holiday list. He's pure cozy to me, and especially in his comedic mode. This is a Christmas comedy of remarriage! A big marine picks him up under the arms and carries him around!!

BELL BOOK AND CANDLE (1958) - wintery and whimsical! And features gay witch Jack Lemmon so what more could you want (there should also always be one Jack Lemmon movie on every holiday list and while The Apartment is the obvious one, it's never been quite what I want in winter)

DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (1965) - a pure Snow movie. ideal to put on while you decorate and then spend ten minutes here and there getting lost in Omar Sharif's eyes.

METROPOLITAN (1990) - Whit Stilman is New York and Metropolitan is his New York Winter Holiday movie. Charming, witty, delightful.

THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992) - an obvious one but the best. Career best Michael Caine, career best Muppets. I wonder-- too much Gonzo for your taste??

INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS (2013) - one of my favorite movies of all time, so sad so cold, maybe more of an early February movie than a December movie, but good winter, good new york, good music.

CRIMSON PEAK (2015) - it's giving winter 🤌 it's giving blood on the snow 🤌 it's giving ghosts 🤌 it's giving Gothic 🤌

THE GOLDFINCH (2019) - I am the sicko who really likes the movie of The Goldfinch. But here's the deal...... it's wintery. It's cozy. the vibes are immaculate (to me). Ends on Christmas in Amsterdam and that feels great!!

#ben baby I hope these aren't a disappointment to you #movies #remember the night #meet john doe #never say goodbye #bell book and candle #doctor zhivago #metropolitan #muppet christmas carol #inside llewyn davis #crimson peak #the goldfinch

Big Sky (North Cascades National Park Service Complex) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: After some initial work in Capture NX2, I used a CEP 4.0 recipe I came across that brought out that "pow" especially to the skies and clouds above. I then worked with some adjustments to lighting with the nearby forest. The image itself is a view looking to the northwest across Diablo Lake at an overlook along the Thunder Knob Trail. Off in the distance are ridges of the Picket Range and Eldorado Massif with Davis Peak in the middle.
