Bizarre and enigmatic genius: Tim Burton

Filmustage

When writing about Tim Burton , it's almost impossible not to be imbued with his cinema. This is particularly because, for many people, his work represents childhood in some way. On the other hand, his films are so appealing because of the director's unmistakable sincerity. Each film is a personal experience of Tim Burton , which is why they are so expressive and evoke sincere emotions.

While we're busy working on both the upcoming Godot 4.0 and 3.4 releases (with a dev snapshot for 3.4 beta 3 available now), we still cherry-pick important bug fixes to the 3.3 branch regularly for maintenance releases (see our release policy ).

Neither does the episode offer us more insight into Mariner or Boimler, but as I have said before, not every episode has to be deep in order to be fun.

Game Industry News

Hey all I’m back with more of one of my favorite Fics for this week’s Synth Saturday. It’s Taylor Varga Chapters 51-60 by Mpii! Plot: The plot of this set of chapters is relatively low key compared to the last set as it deals mostly with the aftermath of things that happened in the previous set, though there is plenty of the typical lizardy shenanigans.
