Cork, Ireland. Retro gaming. Cats. Fuck Twitter. Free Palestine.

Playing #SilentHillF and quite enjoying it, however, the devs are kinda taking the piss with some of these "blocked paths" and other "obstacles" in order to force me along the way they want you to go. "Oh no, how ever will I get around this parked truck. Guess I'll just go the long way 'round."

My top 18 games of 2025 (AKA everything new that I played....) 1. Rematch 2. Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance 3. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound 4. Split Fiction 5. Donkey Kong Bananza 6. Doom: The Dark Ages 7. Battlefield 6 8. Metroid Prime 4 9. Terminator 2D: No Fate 10. Sonic Racing Crossworlds ....

Only thing saving that Nintendo Direct was Fire Emblem & Mario Tennis looking like a proper game again and not barebones. I'll be getting Metroid Prime 4, but that showing was NOT good.

Started a rewatch of Firefly/Serenity when I got a bad case of covid about a month ago. Badly needed some comfort viewing & hadn't rewatched in about 10 years. Can confirm it's still fucking brilliant and has one of the best character ensembles ever. The ending of Serenity still chokes me up.

How the fuck is Phil Spencer still in a job. The mismanagement going on at Xbox under his helm for the past decade is just astounding. Bet he'll get a new bonus or something while all the talented people get shit canned.

The perks of being sick and housebound for 4 days. Enjoyed my time with the new #Doom. Very DIFFERENT Doom but I liked it a lot. It didn't really start to click until about halfway though, though, and the story is total nonsense, thank god it can be entirely skipped.

The cut-scenes in #DoomTheDarkAges are great looking n' all, but who the hell asked for this? Who are these characters? What the fuck are they on about? lol Just drop me into hell, give me some guns and let me kill demons. That's all you need. Are they trying to turn Doom into Halo or something?

No pre-order date & no price for a console that's out in 2 months?! WTF Nintendo. 5/10 Reveal presentation. Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and the new FromSoftware game are insta-buys. The rest was ports of things I've already played or will get on the PS5 instead.
