Welcome to my website. This is site doubles as my Journal, Social media compound key and Media Reccomendations.
I think it's very important to have a journal, writing about my day helps everything just feel more real. Lets me organize my feelings and all, also sometimes I just have to vent.
I also really like writing paragraphs about stuff Im a fan of, expect me to rave about my favourite comic books, movies, books, music, games etc.
Site will be updated sporadically but I hope you enjoy whatever is here!

Greetings traveller, welcome to the updated journal! Where it's not just a series of vent posts, it's a series of vent posts intermiddently interrupted by my actual experiences outside of this site. I'm sure you can deduce what type of guy I am from this sites looks and such, you may have even come here from my steam or LoCG profile, which have bios built in. Nonetheless, hello my web name is Spookscape (I shan't tell you my actual name for privacy sake). i am 17, in college for a game development HND. I like Horror movies, Comic books, Fighting games, music, literature and rattling off my interests in obtuse lists.
Gonna be real here, this is gonna be a bitchy blog even if I try to make it not so. So watch out I guess, won't be as transparent as the last iteration of the journal though.
So, I got an exam tomorrow so I've spent too much time already on not studying. It's a computing science exam funnily enough but isn't it just my luck we decided to NOT do Web Development for the sake of Database design. So, TL;DR fuck database design, long live web development.
I have a test tomorrow... today FUCK. ITS AT 9 what the fuck am I doing, why am I up??? Why am I typing at all?? Guys please pray, in whatever way you see fit pray for me!!
Hey, later entry here cause I got carried away with a post exam party. In my case this wicked party was a new issue of Absolute Martian Manhunter, sasquatch & Alien shirt and saw that new Until Dawn movie. It was a good day overall honestly; movie was fun, shirt was cool, they had my favourite variant cover for Martian Manhunter and me and my buddies played some Dead by Daylight, Minecraft & Stardew valley. I even got to sneak in some ENA dream bbq inbetween all this.
I'm sure come tomorrow all my bad feeling will come rushing back to me, Im sure even when i finally go to bed they'll catch up with me. But for now, Im at ease. That's the best I can hope for in the near future, have a good one y'all.
So uh just realised I forgot to type up how I think my exam went, I think it went okay. Paired with my course work I think its a high B or low A.
Today I did fuck all, briefly tried to rework the site but it failed. This site is held together by dental floss and prayers as I found out. Played Marvel Rivals recently and I dont think Im super into it right now, its strange I was really into it not long ago. Played some Accent Core and got blasted by 3/5 players in the lobby.
So, that thing I wrote about the bad feelings returning was categorically true. Even later that night I was feeling them again, I dont really know what the solution is. To keep it brief just low self-worth and esteem. I mean Im in a game design course, anything that feels more childish than that is found in a Nursery. The mean hygiene in that class is abysmall, somebody's always burping, farting or snoring and I swear to god if I hear a red bull can open one more time Im going to bitch even MORE on my personal site. yet I've got another year after this in that class, Im going to do a university course in the exact opposite direction.
I thought games would be a good narrative vehicle but what I've learned in the class is about how fucked the industry is and how we have to work under somebody else's creative vision. It also taught me I dont want to be around the next generation of game developers. I still need a job, but I dont know if I could get work in the industry. I'd like to just study stories is what I found out, I dont really care for the culture in the games industry. I suppose I could go indie but I need a job in the meantime anyway.
T'is something to think about and Im not getting anywhere idly typing on my site, if have advice honestly feel free to email me or something.
Hellraiser 1 is a fantastic movie about lust and violence, it's not outright scary but it's definitely horrific (if that makes sense?). Fantastic watch.
Also the best Hellraiser movie by a country mile.
It's so wildly fun, there's not much else to say. It's just a lot of fun and I love Ash's character here. I wont lie Ash carries it here but that's fine because it's great!
Quite possibly my favourite movie of all time. It's such a fantastic movie and serves as the best example of a psychological horror movie. It's emotional and it's horrifying, it's well acted and you can never get a read out on what's happening fully. That's a good thing!
I like this for alot! It spears the entertainment industry in such a compelling and pointed way. The psychological elements are soo good in this! That twist genuinely caught me off guard but the more I think about it the more well set-up I feel it is.
This is a REALLY good film, It's so compelling! I love love love the plot of this film. I like it a lot!
It's Ash at his Ashiest! This could've easily been a disaster but it pulls everything off so well, it is the most fun movie I have ever witnessed.
Gothic horror quite possibly at it's finest; it's off-putting, tense and horrifically lustful. Every actor is on their A game and Robert Egger's cinematography is glorious.
An incredible comedy-horror. It's got all the pros of a 1980s horror flick; fun practical effects, hammy acting but without taking itself completely serious. I can't fully describe in words why I like this but I do and it's good!
Quite possibly my favourite game of all time, it is a triumph of atmosphere, narrative, music, characters. Pretty much everything.
The remake is also fantastic, the face acting is near breathtaking at times. Play this game basically.
Devil May Cry 3 has the best story in the series and properly fleshed out Dante as a sympathetic protagonist. Though I don't think it has the best gameplay, it definitely has the best story.
If you're at all interested in the franchise try Dmc 3 out, it's a great time!
I think Silent Hill 2 is the better game but Outlast is scarier while you're playing it. No joke it is the scariest experience I have ever had in a game.
I have to hype myself up everytime I play it because it's so pants-shittingly scary
It is the best game of all time frankly; it has the best writing, most fleshed out world, tragic characters, funny dialogue.
The company that currently sells it has stolen it from the original creator, so pirate it or use CD Keys.
T'is the best Guilty Gear, do not @ me.
Best roster and frankly the roster makes or breaks Guilty Gear for me, omitting Robo-Ky and Zappa from future entries was criminal
Dude it's like a playable ENA episode, what else really needs to be said?
It's got the best extra mode in any game ever, sneaky gamer is the shit. It's like Freddy Fazebear meets Wario, it's so good!!
I think it's the next best Silent Hill, it's got a lot of cool ideas and Cheryl's story is probably the best of the lore focused Silent Hills.
I know a lot of dmc fans don't like this one but it's genuinely a good series. There's nothing wrong with a reimagining of a classic gaming franchise, especially when it keeps the core elements of dmc intact. Great ost & great action!
The best thing to come out of the MCU and the best adaptation of a marvel character outside of Raimi's Spidey series. It's a really solid adaptation of Daredevil as a character, I wish it was less scared of the whacky aspects of DD though.
It's such a fun series. It's so fun dude! Love the characters and I loved what it added to the lore, it was taken too soon and I pray that Evil Dead animated series follows from the cliff hanger. Definitely support this show!
Giving more agency to Ramona makes this story better than the movie, you just get more out of the characters if Ramona is the emotional core of the story. Don't really like how Scott is handled but its really fun anyway.
It's worth it I swear!!!
It's got great characters and such an interesting plot. It's such a unique story, it's confrontational and avant-garde. It's a parody of battle shonen but the parody doesn't consume the characters and dynamics completely, it's such a layered piece of art.
It's like someone made a comedy just for me, I never heard people talk about this so Im surprised that there was so much seasons and all. It's a lovely oddity in western adult animation, it's got an interesting story and world while still being uproariously funny. Highly reccomend.
It's got great animation, it's really funny and it's characters are sympathetic. It's really got everything! Must watch for anyone with a soul.
Hellboy is such a great series, on some days I consider it my favourite comic but there's so much good stuff out there I go back and forth. Great art, writing, themes and characters. I love it!
Saga of Swamp Thing is quite possibly one of the best things DC has ever came out with. Alan Moore's writing is chef's kiss. The way he describes everything is beautiful even when they're literally in hell.
Absolute Martian Manhunter is my favourite ongoing right now. It's psychadelic, well written and thoroughly gripping. Deniz Camp is my favourite writer right now, read my league of comic geeks posts for more info.
Hickman's Fantastic Four is legendary for a reason. It is THE Fantastic Four run. Hickman applies this awesome mythological sincerity to any superhero he writes. Just a legendary writer and series.
Apparently Tom King as a writer is inconsistent quality wise but his work in Superman: Up in the sky is excellent. It's the perfect Superman story for beginners and a perfect Superman story all around!
It is THE Superman story, but not the first you should read. It is a celebration of Supes, you can enjoy it no matter what but you enjoy it the more Superman comics you read. Highly recommend! Just hold off for a bit if you don't know a lot about Supes
T'is my favourite Justice League run. It's got a great team lineup, It's just a really fun team book! I even love when it finds itself inbetween event issues so Superman just turns blue in the middle of the run lmao.
It is a character defining run, often I can't get into older books just cause of how wordy it is but Claremonts writing often transcends that. There is some sketchy stuff, in fact there's some outright shitty stuff. Most of the time the character writing is genuinely interesting and compelling.
Sorry i got lazy after working on this for a while so the media player will just be links to playlists and albums I like, actual styled media player may come soon idk
