Almost a year ago I wrote a blog about I would like to have the dinosaurs rebooted in Jurassic Park. Like scrapping the whole story and starting over. And go more on the latest scientific findings that show that many of the giant creatures were covered in feather-like skin.

Several of you were anti the idea, which would challenge the fantasy many have of what a dinosaur looked like, but the fact is that it would be at least as scary, if not more scary - and also feel fresh because it won't just be the same old horror lizards we've seen so many times sooner.

After looking at Scarlet's escapades in Jurassic World Rebirth, I also have one more wish... stop believing in the idea that it will be scarier because you have mutated dinosaurs. It just gets dumber and sillier, i.e. some kind of opposite of scary. It wasn't because the T-Rex or the velociraptors (yes, I know they're partly figments of the imagination here) that the original was so exciting, it was because we believed in what was happening.

If you lose it, you lose everything. Less is more. Check out Spielberg's classic Jaws. A great white shark can be scary enough under the right circumstances and Hollywood just messes it up for itself. If you have something so wonderful, it just can't be as bad as the Jurassic series has been after Jurassic Park 2.

The Jurassic series is not likely to rest, but Hollywood really needs to understand that it is not bigger and more spectacular lizards that the brand needs.

For those who want to cook good food, it has never been easier to find inspiration and good recipes with step-by-step instructions. Youtube is absolutely teeming with hobby chefs and I often let myself be inspired and try something new based on the selection, where Joshua Weissman, Nicole Nelson McLaughlin and Sip & Feast are among the favorites.

But... Even though I think Markus Aujalay may have lost a little inspiration at the end and seems to have a hard time coming up with new dishes, he remains superb at guiding through dishes and explaining why he does things a certain way. Perhaps my biggest favorite lately, however, is Filip Poon, the former contestant from Sweden's Master Chef.

He has recently gone more and more in an Asian focus, and is very good at delivering fun recipes that often need botanizing in Asian stores. And... On Sunday, my partner and I cooked his latest dish, namely Fried Bao Buns - which is the absolute best I've cooked from any TV chef.

It's a dish that takes some time and includes things like Chinkiang/Zhenjiang, Lao Gan Ma, Five Spices, Sichuan pepper and Hoisin - which maybe not everyone has at home. However, it is not overly difficult to get hold of (if it is in a store in Östersund, it is available at your place) and I cannot recommend enough that you give it a chance.

It's really Chinese home cooking at its best. Real comfort food and I could have eaten as many dumplings as I wanted, as well as drink the dipping sauce with a straw. In short, many thanks Poon for this gem that will henceforth be cooked at least a couple of times a year - and definitely try to make it yourself. Absolutely incomparably good.

Doesn't look much from the world, but is the best I've ever tasted from any TV chef.

We are starting to reach the era when our absolute greatest legends will start to say goodbye. Those who broke through in the 70s and also to some extent the 80s have simply become too old. Tragic and some really feel irreplaceable.

That celebrities die is of course sad, even if it's not someone you know. But sometimes it hits harder. And the last few months have certainly not been mild for me. In July, as you know, Hulk Hog an died, a man who has really influenced me over the years, and whom I would describe as something of a hero to me. For my part, Hulkamania will definitely live forever as some kind of guiding star.

Fast forward to yesterday, and another icon I'd looked up to went away, namely Tomonobu Itagaki. If you've ever been to my editorial profile, you know that for over two decades I've ranked him as my favorite producer of games of all time. And I barely had time to start mourning it before it became clear that Ace Frehley now put the guitar on the shelf and left to hang out with Ozzy and Lemmy.

Kiss was my first favorite band and they have been with me all my life, and I have thankfully also had time to see them live in the early 2000s. In the band, it was always Ace I liked best. His songs belonged (and are) among the favorites and he remains my favorite guitarist ever.

I want to thank Ace for all the lovely music, and Itagaki will have its own tribute article tomorrow.

Trust that there will be Ace Frehley and Kiss popped at my house today.

I have followed our eminent freelancer Niclas Wallin on Instagram for a little eternity. A gentleman who, in addition to gaming, likes animals and nature and is the one together with Joakim Sjögren and Marcus Persson who has come up with the most music tips that finally ended up in my personal playlist on Spotify.

Wallin seems to listen to music somewhere in the neighborhood of college rock and college punk, which is something I like to play when I want to build energy or just pep myself up a little. And when I during the evening casually slipped into Instagram to look at some reels, Wallin showed up with a new song I hadn't heard before; (I Won't Let You) Murder Me.

As usual swinging and again in the region I like to listen to. A reel is not very long, but the swinging guitars and the trill-friendly loop kind of stuck. I looked at my phone to see which band it was... and realized that what I had just stomped the beat to was Wallin's own band.

And since he is obviously far, far too modest to recommend his music - I do it now (unasked) for him. Here you have a direct link to (I Won't Let You) Murder Me on Spotify.

Nice, I haven't listened to this song for the last time.

Yes... At least that's what two normally very knowledgeable insiders claim who have delivered several scoops over the years. Both Microsoft and Sony are said to be  in the starting blocks for something new.

To many, it probably seems like pure madness considering how few first-party games have been released this generation. A look at Metacritic reveals that there are very few games, and many are still coming to the last generation hardware and not taking full advantage of current consoles.

Others are perhaps more eager to move on because of this. When we look back in ten years, I find it hard to believe that we will look with the same warmth at this generation as the 16-bit era, the sixth generation (Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube and Xbox) and my personal favorite - generation seven with Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Most of the most played titles of the generation are said to be unplayable because they are live service.

What I'm personally most curious about the next generation is how Microsoft and Sony will relate to PC. For Microsoft, it seems to be a hybrid between PC and Xbox, an exciting solution that enables brutal performance  but a high price. But Sony is also likely to take action, because their statement from August clearly sounds like a company that wants to open up more to other formats:

"In the gaming business, we are moving away from a hardware-centric business model more to a platform business that expands the community and increases engagement"

We'll have to wait and see, of course, and I don't have any insider scoops of my own here, but there is the possibility that we'll be sitting with PCs under our TVs in just two years, masquerading as consoles. And maybe in that case we will get more games than ever.

Are you ready for a new console generation in 2027 and what do you think of the current one (image created with AI)?
